For any interested, here is a list of games that I played in 2011. [See the 2010 list.] Those in bold were finished this year. Those in orange are ones that I intend to keep playing into 2012.
In general, I avoid codes and looking up info online unless I want to continue playing a game but get stuck for so long that it’s in danger of losing all appeal.
