Lots of games I hadn't finished yet!! still more, as much less than those Call of Duty, or Bioshock or Uncharted series.
GTA IV - Funny as I finish GTA San Andreas about 7 times! I kept try to get back to GTA IV and complete some missions then forgot about it every time.
Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas.
Total War
Just Cause
F.E.A.R 2, dont know why but that girl scared me every time!
Mass Effect, I only play for few missions then...
I could never completed The President's Run stage of Driver on PS1. I think I just got some kind of mental block about it, and it might be the last game I even tried to finish. It was my 'Nam.

I seem to remember having to resort to a cheat to complete that level.
Super Mario World.
Having enjoyed Super Mario Bros 3 on the NES, while thinking it wasn't quite as good as the wonderful Super Mario Bros 2 (which is now derided as 'not a proper Mario game', although we didn't know that at my school), I was looking forward to this game after finally getting a Super NES.
Unfortunately I found SMW (and still do) overblown and boring. And Yoshi's a twat.
I also disliked SM64 and thought Sunshine was lacklustre. The Galaxy games were great though and I really like 3D Land.
In my imagination there's an alternate reality where SMB2 was continued with a splash of 'Brian Bloodaxe' brilliance and we're all still playing games where you have to throw turnips at each other (COD: Turnip Warfare).
Oh God, far too many to mention. I tend to binge on a game and play it obsessively for a week or two solid, then suddenly drop it just as I'm nearing the end. It's like the spell is suddenly broken. I don't consciously do it, I just put them down and never come back.
I generally have this problem with RPGs - Mass Effect, Ni No Kuni, both DS Zeldas, Twilight Princess, Front Mission, too many Final Fantasies and Dragon Quests to mention. I guess that means I enjoy the journey more than the destination, or that RPGs kind of plateau in terms of challenge and discovery in the last quarter.

Ha, I'm almost the exact opposite - SMB2 always seemed odd and a bit tedious me, never liked it, whereas SMW is my pick of the bunch - I've lost count of how many times I've played through it. SM64 would be a close second. Thought Galaxy was a bit dull.
I tend to kill them all to death. Particularly FPS types. Can't think of a single game I hav......
Farcry. Just as I was typing it came to me. I never did finish farcry because of the level where you where sinking on a boat, being attacked by a bloke in a helicopter, and it was one of those get it in time or you're fucked levels, and it pissed me off so much I gave up. It was bloody stupid.
All of them.
(Tell a lie: I finished Eternal Champions on the Megadrive...)

I've played and defeated every Metroid game to the extent that I still expect a 5 Missile upgrade to be under the sink when I reach down for the washing up liquid.
All except 'Metroid Prime 2' that is.
I'm confident enough in my gamuality to admit it kicked my ass in the last act, and I never went back.

There's a high chance someone replaced your immortal soul with a bag of coal dust circa 1988.
I rarely dont finish a game, i usually play through to the end even if im not really enjoying it (which perhaps isnt a good thing)! I dont buy too many games i dont like, fortunately. saying that, I have had copies of metal gear solid rising and asura's wrath for the 360 for months and not got anywhere with them :( They both seem really cool, Im just not feeling it for some reason.

What he said. Even on the PC with the fast save cheat enabled.
And Far Cry 2, when I first got Malaria and thought "this is no fun whatsoever - who came up with the idea that you had to be
miserable in a FPS?"
It's only ever on the PC with me, can't be arsed with consoles. But nice to know I wasn't alone!

Depends on the game Goaty, depends on the game.
So, so many games it's untrue. I have around a billion games for the original Xbox but I think I've only ever actually finished Halo 1 and 2. On this generation, though, a quick gander at my trophy list reveals:
GTA4 - like Goaty, I finished San Andreas so many times - and am currently in the middle of another playthrough on the PSN downloadable version - and yet I have started this about five times and never finished it once.
Crysis 2 - got to some helicopter bit where I don't know if you have to survive the waves of enemies or shoot down the helicopter, but either way both keep coming and then you drop dead suddenly for some reason and after a few times around doing that I thought "life's too short" and never played it again.
Dead Or Alive 5 - the animation-heavy fighting styles where you hit a button and this makes your character assume a martial arts stance rather than - for instance - throwing a punch make this a bizarre fighting game experience aimed at people who don't mind memorising hundreds of 12-button combinations that make your character scream what I assume are Oriental obscenities and then fall over and spend the rest of the round on their back waving their leg at your opponent. A completely and utterly baffling game.
Assassin's Creed 1 and 2. Unengaged in the characters or story so I could never really immerse myself in the world enough to come back to them after a few hours of play.
Vanquish - at a loss to explain why I never played this one again, as I recall enjoying it and really digging the high concept setting and production design.

Just as well you

There are more graphic versions on You Tube, but they are much longer and tend to have rock music imposed over them. Oddly, this German version does not.
Skyrim and Dragon Age (uno) I just reach a bit in most fantasy games where suddenly I couldn't care less. Still persevering with the appalling Aliens colonial marines. :-\
The Last of Us.
Was excited to play this but found it really boring, sadly. It's going on ebay.
I've played every console Zelda game at least twice, and every time I start one, I say to myself "This time, THIS time, I WILL collect all the hearts and all the other goo-gaws!"
Never ever have though.
These days I tend to just have a couple of games on the go at one time and I almost always complete them but there have been a few exceptions -
All of the GTA games, I love the series but I always end up arseing around instead of playing them properly.
Crysis, I found the final level very tedious so I just watched the ending on youtube instead, I'm pretty sure I'll be doing the same with god awful ending to Bioshock Infinite too.
Dragon age, I lost the will to live with that bloody awful level where you are stuck in a dream or something.
The Witcher - great game but I took a break from playing and then couldn't remember what the hell I was supposed to be doing when I got back to it.
As much as I love the Doom games, I have never completed the second one. The final boss taunts me.
I haven't finished loads of games, but of the ones I have played more recently:
Bioshock- I actually got bored of this game. I really like the setting and concept but found the gameplay a little tedious after a while and just stopped playing.
Okami- Still working my way through this one intermittently.
Shadow of the Colossus- Stopped playing it because I got a little pissed off that I had to look up some help online and was not happy with the solution [spoiler]having to pick up a damn torch that isn't especially noticeable and looks like an environment effect. *grumble-grumble*[/spoiler]
Pikmin- Just started playing it.
Skyrim- It's a huge game and I don't play it all the time. I never finished Morrowind or Oblivion, either. Hardly a surprise with the latter as it wasn't all that good looking back at it.
Madworld- I'm kinda saving finishing this one off when I need some ultra-violence in my life.
Link to the Past- Retro gaming only goes so far. I started playing this off the back of completing the original Zelda game, but got distracted half way through by something that was no doubt shiny and alluring.
I have a TERRIBLE track record re completing games. I'm pretty sure I've only ever completed a handful, and then just the story section, not all the achievements, collectibles etc. I'm pretty sure my sporadic attention span is to blame. I get really sucked in for a few weeks, but then a shiny new release distracts me. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I always feel a bit stupid when I look up my gamer tag in one of those 'achievement' websites. Looking through the games I've played and list of achievements reached in each is quite frankly embarrassing!!!
http://www.trueachievements.com/mygames.aspx?gamerid=12584
I'm actually fairly good with achievements and things like that. Don't think I've ever got all of them for a full retail title, but I like to try and get as many as I can, or used to, when I spent a lot more time on gaming. Providing I like the game of course.
Stacks, but then I don't consider finishing the story to be completing a game.
I have a very bad habit, with games where I find out you can't go back after beating the final baddie, of going back to try and get all the collectibles then completely forgetting about it after a while and having no idea what I was supposed to do. Irritatingly, this usually indicates a game I particularly enjoyed. Psychonauts and Okami spring to mind as particular examples of this type.
Killer 7 I stopped playing for a week and couldn't remember what in fuck's name was supposed to be going on. Similar thing happened with Baldur's Gate due to it's lack of a mission log.
Worse still, I've never managed to finish R-Type, even though there are only 8 levels. However, I was the first kid in Bathgate arcade to complete Shinobi on one credit.
Jet Set Willy I & II.

Jet Set Willy I & II.
There was a twenty year gap between my giving up trying to beat the last level of
Manic Miner as a wee boy, and finally defeating the game as an adult on a PC emulator. I've never finished any driving game; I spent an entire shift listening to a guy telling me about all the different licenses he'd won on
Gran Turismo and felt vindicated in my decision.
I just finally complete Bioshock infinite as not play it for months cos of that airships attack with robot bird... which I got stuck repeat... and finally try it again and finished!
But that was the beginning of ending... and what the fuck was that ending about???

I like that the only gold star you seem to have is for something called Costume Quest, and a 90 percent on Minecraft.
I am similarly poverty-stricken when it comes to cheevos, but have racked up plats 18 times over regardless on the usual time sinks like Fallout and Skyrim, which are great when you're hungover and just want to wander aimlessly about
being anyone else.
I keep forgetting to play
Gears of War 1-3 and
Halo ODST, so they'd be another few to bung on my unfinished pile. With the former I recall preferring Rogue Trooper, to the point that I bought it on the Wii to play it again and had to take the 360 out of the living room, only to remember that I hated using the Wii controller, so I put the Wii away and played my existing copy of Rogue on the old PS2 - still a great game, and I have still to see why the train level bugs people as I do it in one go every time.
Also
MechAssault 2 on the original Xbox, which I recall thinking was great fun every time I played it (and which looks to be ripped off heavily for the upcoming Titanfall). You stomp around in giant power armor being fucking awesome until some jerk blows up your robosuit, then you leg it as a puny human until you can find another stompy robot to be awesome in. Every time I clock it on the shelf in the spare room I wonder why I never finished it.
I think I got all the achievements for Battlefield 1943 too, but that's about it.
Like your Mech game, another I dearly loved on the original Xbox, but again did not complete, was Steel Battalion. It was the single most immersive game I have EVER played. However, it was insanely difficult. It took me longer to learn how to drive a mech than it did my car!! Google it, and you might get an idea why.
I still own it, and am determined that one day I'll rig it all up again, and beat the bastard. I know I'll have an awesome time trying!
I have somehow managed to avoid achievement based gaming.
I have always considered finishing a game to mean getting to the end, not having it 100% complete. There are plenty of games as well that I feel have blurred end goals if any end goal at all.

When I first got the 360 (when they first came out) I was playing anything and everything for achievements for a few years until I realised just how many hours of my life wasted playing games purely for the achievements. I didn't miss any good games because of achievement hoarding unlike some that just go for easy games, I was playing most everything for a good long time, and there's quite a few games I really enjoyed that I wouldn't of otherwise touched had it not been the draw of MORE CHEEVOS. After that point I didn't even look at the achievement list on the game I was playing and disabled notifications altogether. I haven't really touched the Xbox in any meaningfull way (jumped over to PS3 when I saw just how good value PS+ was) in maybe two or three years now and I've still got the most achievements amongst my friends.
I just looked in my Steam Library and have 85 game downloaded there. Some of them I haven't even touched and most of them I haven't even completed.
C64
I will start with the very first memorable game I played on the C64. Firebird's (Now Frontier Developments!) Elite I'm mentioning this one because excited about.... because of the upcoming Elite - Dangerous (Thank for telling me of it's development. I might never have known otherwise!) To be fair, I must played Elite non stop for 2-3 years trading/fighting and upgrading my Cobra Mark 3 until it could be regarded as a Iron-Ass after finally getting my hands on a copy of it in 1986 and then played it for several more years just on the occasion. I had gotten as far completing the second mission of hunting down the stolen Constrictor which I believe was how I was awarded either the status of Dangerous or Deadly and after that I just sort went on trading until I had amassed a fortune in credits that I could perhaps by my own planet with. I had purchased a Galactic Hyper-Drive and travelled to the next galaxy, but hadn't found anymore missions. I kept playing the C64 version until I misplaced a essential connecting cable for the machine after I had moved away to live in a rented house with some friends and then back home. Never reaching the status of Elite! These days I'm having a poke at Oolite, but haven't got so far with it. As it's harder without a joy-stick controller. Right now, I have been downloading and testing out the many and various OXPs for it. They have certainly given the game more flavour since it's wire-frame days. I've also had a brief look at Frontier: First Encounters and Vega Strike. The former is some reversed engineered freeware that is one of the Elite sequels. I finally got it working and it less intuitive than the original and supposedly more realistic. Though just seems to be lame in comparison. I eventually got up and flying and made it as far as hyper-spacing to another system, before I stopped. This was after I was given directions to website with a special tutorial on it. While I can't even get the latter to work. I think there is conflict with C++. BTW, Vega Strike isn't a sequel to Elite, but just another game that is basically the same idea with colourful graphics. I will link both sites where these free downloads can be found.
PS2
Numerous game on the PSTWO have been started and never finished.
GTA: San Andreas
I got as far as the mission where I had to shoot at some cars or motorbikes while either in a car or on the back of a motorbike or in it's side car. While driving along one of those huge dry-concrete canals they have in Los-Angeles. I could never beat this mission. So, I just content myself by riding motorbikes fast through the small the towns and along the country roads running from cops. I also enjoyed turning all the cheats on for this game. Ones that allowed him to jump real high, and knock people flying when he punched them. There's also cheat that gives you massive pink dildo as a weapon. Yeah, I had fun running around attacking people with that as well. Most fun of all was the flying car cheat. As I would often start on the streets or somewhere up on White-Rock. Sometimes I would fly to Mount Diablo (And ride a stolen push-bike down one of it's various tracks!) or where the Las Vegas like area was and then see how long I last there as I wasn't a really supposed to go there yet. Also used the jet pack cheat as well. Though I never finished this one, I still had a lot of fun with it.
Rogue Trooper I really loved the attention to detail in this game, but could never beat the train level. Too hard, I don't think I was shooting at the right things and I let the train take too much damage in the earlier stages of that mission. I think I will have to watch how it's done on You-Tube sometime. I've just recently purchased this game for the PC on Steam as well. As for the game itself, I love the commentary you got from Gunnar, Bagman & Helm and setting up Gunnar on a tripod to shoot at Norts from the front while I got Rogue to flank them. I also like his sneak attack.
There's another game that I had on PSTWO and PC that was a GTA clone. In it, you were Mexican just recently let out of jail and you had to clear out your family's farm of bandito's. There were tractors you could ride, lots of guns, lots of special attacks, towers you could climb, chickens to shoot at, travel between tower and roof of one building to the warehouse by flying-fox. You actually had to knock down a water-tower and steal the sports-car park in the garage to complete the level. Easily done, and I made it to as far as the city level which was open ended, but full of missions and special tests for you to accomplish.
I just lost interest in this game. Could anybody tell me it's name? I forget. I remember this Mexican Day of the Dead mode where you would be chased by Mexican's dressed up as skeletons.
PS3
Red Dead Redemption Lovely game, beautiful horses, and how I thought the wild west might be. This game certainly brought a multitude of possibilities not present in any of it's predecessors. I was happily completing the random missions and the story missions on that woman's ranch. I think had got up to mission where I had to help the Sherriff clear out a gang from that Canyon and have saved the man with his miracle elixir and helped him fool some locals into buying some of the stuff by pretending that it worked and beating up on and out shooting one of the local tough guys. I also did the first grave digger mission where we both had to find a old acquaintance of his and rough him up a bit for a treasure map. With the female rancher though. I had just completed the mission where she gave me a lasso, taught me how to use it. Then we had to catch and break some wild horses at Cholo Springs, out near Hanging Tree Rock and that was where I was offered pearl white Stallion after catching and breaking it. I declined as I was attached to my first horse. That's as far as I got with the main story mission. I had a lot of fun, retrieving stolen horses, stolen carriages, saving people from hanging (Though I was only successful at this only once!) shotting bandits who were waiting in ambush while I got lured by a prostitute. Saving prostitutes from bandits, shooting or catching criminals, gun duels, shooting wild birds of prey out of sky while on the back of a train, hunting, shooting and skinning, coyotes, wolves and cougars. The Jackelope. I managed to shoot me one! Clearing out gang hide outs, and hunting down bandits and tying them up and taking back on horse back to the lock-up. Fining and discovering new plants. Shooting bandits from horse back, sometimes all at once with my quick shot abilities. Giving and receiving money from Nuns. Playing Poker and Blackjack. The background music, and the sunsets. Though I decided to stop playing when I couldn't complete the mission out at Twin-Rocks where I had to clear out another gang hide out and rescue a farmer's daughter as well. I did this without a hitch the first time round, but when I tried to redo this mission later, I failed, over and over again. The daughter would always end up shot by the head bandit before I could get a shot off at him. It was difficult because you had to sneak around the side of entrance of the door to room where he was holding her and shoot him the second I had him in my sights. Very hard this was and I soon just stopped playing. I had also cleared out the canyon of bandits a few times as well with better luck each time. Though that farmer's daughter mission had stopped me dead in my tracks.
I also have Undead Nightmare waiting for me when I complete it.
Perhaps, one day.....
SkyRim Another beautiful game, and I got as far buying my first house in White-Run. I picked a Norn and called him Slaine (They should make a game about Slaine!) Perhaps I should have chose to be a Breton and called him Slaine. I do know that slaine would more likely be the latter than the former, but the Norn seem more tribal in this game. Anyway, I met the head - Norn/Viking from White-Run, killed my second dragon, discovered I had shouts and might be Dragon-Born, was called to Mount H'Rothgar and learnt more about shouting while avoiding the large troll. I also avoid those giants. I had brought a horse, that was before I travelled up the mountain. I had also joined the Brotherhood and cleared a out a few lairs. I brought a house partially furnishing and was in the process of empting my considerable inventory into it's many containers and my character was still encumbered and stopped playing this game to start on Dead Island! I could have gone on but I took a arrow to the knee.
I also got this game as a freebie download for X-Box 360 which I did and had started playing a Khatijit and called him Cat-Head as a more rogueish thief type this time and I cannot kill the second dragon that appears at a outpost near White-Run this time. It's got me stumped. I must have set it at a much higher difficulty. I've stopped playing that one as well. Though I have just recently purchased all the add-ons and expansions for it last weekend. Everything for DawnGuard which I think needs me to be a Gold Member for me to purchase that one. It just wouldn't let me purchase that one. It said it wouldn't authorise that purchase. I had the same problem with trying to buy the full I Am Alive game as well.
I have also not completed Morrowwind (As a game a found in a bargain bin and purchased cheaply for $20!) and Oblivion ( A even cheaper download fromSteam at only $5!) I had started Morrowwind again playing something in it and didn't progress far. Although I had previously played a Orc Warrior in that game when I first got and was doing completed some mission when I got so completely lost in it that I stopped playing and in Oblivion I really need to beef my character up, another Norn Warrior named Rorg before entering town to rescue the late King's Heir where a portal to Oblivion has opened. So I took to the nearby seaport town of Anvil to joined the Fighter's Guild and now he has to go around visiting temples as one of side-missions.
Dead Island Now I was so determined to complete this one, playing it every weekend and then I just dropped it because it was so stressful. Weapons would break, but you could fix them and zombies would always respawn in places you cleared out. I must admit I had fun at the start when my character the ex-football player who had to retire because of his bad knee who was good at throwing things was first asked by some survivors to go outside the beach-hut and help the lifeguard with the dodgy Australian accent and then clear out the Lifeguard Station. Then find the other survivors at the Light-House and help some one in garage build a Armoured Truck and driving it to the city and fight your way into the Church where there were more survivors waiting. Those missions were fun, but the rest was really stressful. Especially the missions that sent me through the town. There was one set in the Police Station. There were a couple there, actually. There was one partically bothersome one where I had to switch on a system of speakers, three at a time in three separate missions. So the church could broadcast about their safe haven over the speakers. There was one section there where the fast running zombies kept spawning non-stop and they would always be able to climb up after me when ever escaped to a rooftop. I think one of the main problems with this game is they had decided specialist zombies in it. I could almost probably understand the shamblers or shufflers that were just your normal slow moving zombie. Most common to Day of the Dead and The Walking Dead! The fast moving zombies that are most common in 28 Days! and the Thug zombies that were hard to safely melee with. But the Bloaters that release poisoness gas and exploders that would need to shot at from a distance to be safely dealt with or else they would explode in your face. You couldn't even safely run these over with the re-spawning heavy utility. There was the huge straight-jacketed zombie whose only weak
spot was hitting it from behind. Yeah, I would always just run them over or throw Molotov cocktail at them. I think the other one was a complete maniac with both hands missing. They would run up to you like a fast moving zombie and attack you with the exposed and sharpened wrist bones. I hadn't run into one of those yet, but I had heard of them. Yea, those last few zombies were just silly. At the moment I had found another bunch of survivors holed up in a house at the other end of town. I'm busy doing their missions and then I ran into a man who tricked me into a ambush by some local gang. I fought them off, and when I confronted the man. He told me he was forced to as they were holding his daughter hostage. So my latest mission, was rescuing his daughter. I stopped there as the one thing worse than hordes of mindless undead and those that still live and can shoot back you. I'm not sure If I will ever get Dead Island Two.......too stressful this game is.
These next few games I had stopped playing after one off sessions of all night and the next day. I didn't nessasarily hate them. I just found some of then too hard to ever complete with out restarting them again and playing them differently, making better choices (Dead Space!) or to ever complete as I wasn't going to spend more time on them for now.
Dead Rising Two I had played for just a few hours one day not long after getting it and had stopped with the intention of continuing some other day but never getting around to it. As I started playing this.....ahh running over groups of zombies that had been rounded up and put into a arena to entertain crowds. He these chainsaws attached to the front wheels, I think. I thought even this is a little tasteless. Then the zombies, of which there are awful lot of as always have suddenly broken the containment they are in and have started a riot. They are on the loose and people are falling prey to them. This all happens when I
was safe in my dressing room inside the complex. As soon as I was given word of whats going on. I had to fight my way to the room where I left my young daughter. Though I found her safe, it soon turns out she was previously bitten by my undead wife and I have been giving her some miracle meds, Zombex to halt her zombiefication. She has to be given a dosage of Zombex at regular intervals. Something that was reasonably easy until all hell broke loose. So after carrying her to the safe area that I think a girl on the radio informed me of. Being only able to kick at the large numbers of zombies surrounding me on the way there. This was tough going and I think I missed out on saving another survivor as I was rushing to the safe area. Once I'm there, I have to go on a mission to the nearest chemist to get her dosage of Zombex! The safe are is littered with those health replenishing upgrades, cans of soda, and junk food. People, other survivors are just sitting around waiting while I make my way to the secret exit. On my way, I notice a workbench for fixing, upgrading and combining material to make into weapons. Is this game going to be another Dead Island or is that the other way round as I think this one came out first. I leave by clibing into a ventilation shaft leading back out to a arcade in a shopping mall filled with groups of Zombies armed with nothing but a electric guitar which gave out on me after a while. These zombies don't aggro unless you are real close to them. So, I did my best to avoid them. After fighting/avoiding zombies on my way to the chemist, I confront some looters and they are crazy. After dispatching them, all three of them after dieing once and reloading. I find what I'm after and head back and I'm greeted with warning from one of the other survivors about going off alone. Now that I have the Zombex just good for one dosage. I can't use it for another 8 hours as it's a strictly timed thing. So I wait there patiently as there are no other missions from the girl on the radio... I was thinking maybe I should replay this level again to save that one survivor that I thought I missed, but haven't bother playing this game again. Well atleast the zombies don't come in specialised class's like in Dead Island or do they? Maybe it's too early to find out.
To be continued until I eat my breakfast.
BTW I have just dragged out most of my PS3 games, so I can list the ones I've only played for a bit.....
Oh right...?
Really liked the ironic post ThryllSeekyr!

:o Oh, you just opened my eyes and shown me what I did there, I swear didn't see the irony at the time. I was just hungry.
I promise I will conclude my post ;)

One for the
Win column.

Can I steal that from you?
Please :D
Of course, be my guest!
Never did Finnish Populous 2 by Bullfrog due to my cat Romana (sadly no longer with me...) managing to stop my PC from working by using it as a bed/ way to punish me for not worshipping her...
Not been play Assassin's Creed 3 for a year, back on it tonight to finish it! Guess that why I hadn't got Black Flag yet!
But tonight I just play the first ship mission, oh wow, is that really good and better in Black Flag?
star wars rogue squadron rouge leader on the gamecube ,that last level was hard getting out of the death star

dragon age 2 that last boss battle floored me just couldn't get anywhere!
gta 3,4 and all spinoffs dlc as soon as I get a chopper I just lose interest and go pootling about.
final fantasy-all of them cos im crap.
Rambo: The Video Game. Played it once this morning when it came in the post, got killed in-game, took it out of the machine and deleted the install data. It is an offensively bad game, as it's one of those single-screen FPS' you can download for free for Android and IOS, only it needs a 2gb install compared to a tablet/phone game's 50-100mb, and obviously you have to pay for it.

That's one of the few games I can say I HAVE completed! Not just Rogue Squadron either, but the free co-op version that came with Rogue Squadron II! I agree though, the last level is a bitch! I bloody adore the level just before it though - 'IT'S A TRAP!' :D
Neverwinter Nights... I was near the end of the second part of this when the laptop it was on got stolen... The thiefs removed my USB memory stick and left it :D ... But didn't remove the game disc. >:(

I have somehow managed to avoid achievement based gaming.
I have always considered finishing a game to mean getting to the end, not having it 100% complete. There are plenty of games as well that I feel have blurred end goals if any end goal at all.
Achievements / trophies do nothing for me. I can see their appeal, I understand their meta-game nature, but they leave me cold. I play for fun, or to enjoy a story. Not to grind some arbitrary sub-goal that neither adds to the fun or the story.
I appreciate their is a degree of hypocrisy in that; all games are ultimately puzzles created by their designer and so contrain arbitrary goals.
Except for The Stanley Parable.
