Too many unfinished games. Will not buy a new one until I complete them.

My List of unfinished games.

PC:
* Anno 1404 - I'm so noob at this, I just spend a few hours and quit.
* Anno 2070 - Same as above.
* Arcania - Gothic 4. - Played for 5 minuets.
* Arma 2. - Never played.
* Assassins Creed - Played for a few hours, never picked it up again.
* Assassins Creed 2 - Played for about 5 minuets, saw it was more of the same.
* Batman Arkham Asylum. - Lost my save file, which killed it for me.
* Blur - Derp.
* Borderlands - The Cell shading art killed it for me.
* Brothers in arms: Earned in blood. - Been telling myself I will complete this one of these decades.
* Call of Duty 1. - Thought it was a fairly average game. Managed to get a few levels done.
* Call of Duty 2. - Again, only an average game, was a fun ride, did a couple of levels.
* Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: At this point in the franchise, it was just more of the same. More milking of a horrible story with the same graphics, don't know why I expected any different. Will be the last time.
* Crysis. - I've launched this game a few dozen times. Great benchmark. Might play it one day.
* Crysis Warhead. - Same as above.
* Crysis 2. - Same as above.
* Dead Island. - I love zombie games. This one just didn't grab my attention like left 4 dead.
* Deus Ex 1: - I got up to the part where a guy was taking a leak on the wall. Laughed, never played it again.
* Deus Ex 2: - Played for a few minuets, hated the console interface and controls.
* Deus Ex 3: - Bought it on release. Still haven't played it.
* Dirt 3: - Got this one bundled free with an old Radeon 6950 2gb card. Still haven't played it.
* Dragon Age 2. - My god. Horrible. Got a little way through, never again. Horrible Horrible. Stick to Origins.
* Driver: Parallel Lines. - I'll be honest, I didn't even know I bought this.
* Morrowind: Loved this game, spent hundreds and hundreds of hours. Yet never finished it "properly".
* Skyrim: Bought in on release day. Crash to desktop every time. Never touched it again for a few months. Then when a patch came out that fixed my issue, no eyefinity support, console interface and controls instantly put me off for good.
* Fable 3: Already owned it on Xbox. But meh. Doesn't hold a candle to the first game in my eyes.
* FarCry 1: This was a great benchmark back in the day, which is all I ever used it for.
* FarCry 2: Just never could get into it.
* From Dust: Great little game, for a level or two. Then it's repetitive.
* Grand Theft Auto 3: Hated it.
* Grand Theft Auto Vice City: Hated it.
* Grand Theft Auto San Andreas: Hated it.
* Grand Theft Auto IV: Hated it, You would think I would have learned by now. But I keep hoping one of these games might be more to my taste one day.
* Half Life - I only ever played this game for the mods.
* Half Life 2: Played for a few levels, then mods took over.
* Heroes of Might and Magic V - Bought it, installed it. Never played it.
* Heroes of Might and Magic VI - Played the crap out of the beta. Never touched the final release though.
* Homefront. - I don't think this needs any explaining... It's best aspects are only average.
* Just Cause 2: - This just felt like a glorified GTA to me. Hence why it probably didn't "click".
* Mirrors Edge. - My god, what a fantastic game. Got to a part where I just couldn't progress. So shelved it.
* Medal of Honor: - Bought this a few years back, always intrigued me. Might try it.
* Men of War: Herp.
* Metro 2033. - Great benchmark, all I used it for unfortunately.
* Need for Speed: Shift: It's not what underground was. :( Lost interest in it quick smart.
* Neverwinter Nights 2: I'll be blunt. The first game was fantastic, I just don't seem to be able to get into this one.
* Red Faction: Played it only for the multiplayer. Which was fantastic back in the day.
* Red Faction 2: Never played it, just haven't gotten around to it yet.
* Sacrifice: Loved this game years ago. Truly an original RTS game, but never did do the story.
* The Settlers 7: No idea why, I only played the second game and loved it. Played this for a little while and never touched it again.
* Civilisation V: This game is just way too long and drawn out, my patience not such much. :(
* Sins of a Solar Empire: A single match can last for 10's of hours, because of such. I've never managed to finish a round.
* Supreme Commander 2: Just didn't seem to hold up with me as well as the first game.
* Test Drive Unlimited 2: Probably bought this on a sale.
* Titan Quest: I actually thought I had completed this at one point while playing it, then I realized I only made it 1/4th the way through. Never touched it since.
* Shogun 2: Bought it, ain't played it yet! Everyone keeps telling me it's good.
* Tropico: - Bought it because it looked good, ain't played it because... Too many other more interesting games.
* Two Worlds 2: Bad.
* Warhammer 40,000 series: Dunno why I ain't played this yet.
* Total Annihilation: Loved this game back in the 90's. StarCraft unfortunately took over once I was about half way through.
* Battlezone 2: I admit, I prefer the base building in instant action than the campaign.
* Dark Reign 2: The first game was far superior, the disc was shelved indefinitely.
* Bullet Storm: Lots of pretty effects. Not much substance too the story for me.
* Gears of War 1: Have it on Xbox. But the first game just didn't click with me like the other two.
* Dungeon Siege 3: Ain't even played it yet.
* Freelancer: This game was to put bluntly... Awesome. However everytime I got about half way through, something would happen, like a reformat or I make a new character or I pick up another game.
* Duke Nuken forever: Horrible.
* Freespace 2: This game just overwhelmed me. Used to play it avidly for the mods.
* Black and White 2: Great game, unfortunately the story wore me a bit thin.
* Dungeon Keeper 2: Awesome game. Completed the first game, never managed to complete this game because I eventually upgraded to Windows XP - Windows 7 which this game never agreed with.
* Emperor Battle for Dune: - I loved the books, movies, Dune 2000 yet this one just couldn't keep me entertained during the campaign, although multiplayer was a blast.
* Homeworld 1 and 2: From what I have seen of the story in the first few hours of both games seems fantastic, yet I prefer multi-player. (Where is the 3rd game!?)
* Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. - I felt let down by this game. I ended up shelving it in the hopes of a mod to fix up all my qualms.
* Spore: Has to be the most hyped game of all time, I expected more from it, but as soon as I got to the tribal age, that was it. Was far to simplistic.
* Evolva: This game blew me away, I eventually got to an area where I couldn't progress and I ended up shelving it.
* Battlefield 3: Amazing graphics, makes a great benchmark. Story is about as good as tasting molasses.
* X3 series. - You need several phone books of instructions just to play it!
* L.A. Noire: - Got to a point, where I just couldn't be bothered with the boring missions.
* Rage: Major let down, got a couple hours into it.
* Chronicles of Riddick: It wasn't too bad, obviously wasn't good enough to keep my attention though.
* The Witcher 2: Just been leaving this one for when life ain't so busy so I can enjoy it to it's fullest.
* Serious Sam 2: Made a great benchmark once upon a time. Which is all I played it for.

Xbox 360:
* Command and Conquer Tiberium wars: - Horrible controls, never got past the first level.
* Assassins Creed: - Had the same problem here as on the PC.
* Soul Caliber IV: - Never played it. Looks nice in my shelf though.
* Star Ocean: The last hope: - Despite this games flaws, I got fairly far into it and then got stuck.
* Viva Pinata: - Derp.
* PREY: - Great concept. But I got tired of the dullness.
* Final Fantasy XIII - Got to a point where it felt the difficulty increased 10 fold, so ended up shelving it.
* Banjo Kazooi Nuts and Bolts: - Herp.
* Aliens vs Predator: - Got this on Xbox and PC. PC was far superior graphically. So completed it on that instead.
* Saints Row 2: - Reminded me of GTA far too much.
* Assassins Creed 2: - Just more of the same.
* Gears of War: - Just couldn't get myself into it.
* Guitar Hero: - Played it a few times, it's gathered allot of dust since then.
* Need for Speed: Pro Street. - I need to stop expecting more Most Wanted or Underground games.
* Bad Company 2: - Superior on the PC in every way, but wanted it so I had the first and second game on the same platform.
* Ninja Gaiden 2: - Not my kind of game.
* Mirrors Edge: - Same problem I had on the PC. :(
* Perfect Dark: Zero. - Couldn't hold a candle to the original, Rare killed this franchise I think.
* End War: - Voice commands! Wooo! Pity they have troubles with some phrases in my Australian accent which caused endless frustrations, the graphics leave much to be desired too.
* The Last Remnant. - Might get around to playing this eventually.
* Gears of War 3: - Still sitting in it's plastic since launch.

I know I have a box full of old PC games from the 95ish era and Xbox 1, N64, SNES, NES, Game boy, Gameboy Colour, Nintendo DS games that I could potentially add to the list.
But generally, I see a game, if I don't have it I usually buy it.
And currently I own zero games for the PS3, just use the console as a Blu Ray player, might pick up the Uncharted series one of these days.

Not big enough
