Right now I am juggling multiple games, I was hoping to finish one or two by I keep wanting to try new game after 4-5 hours of one >

I have a similar problem.

Once I start with one game, I rarely complete it, cause once a new game comes out I pick that up and start playing.

There's so many games I have yet to compete. Some I havent even got to halfway point.

Believe it or not I still haven't completed the first Bioshock. Thats how far behind I am.

I'm in the same boat as disolitude, in that my gaming time has been slashed in recent years.  I certainly don't bother with the gym though haha.  I find that the best way to game across all three consoles is to pick the cream of the crop.  This sounds obvious, but I've worked out that I don't bother finishing half the games I buy, so a fullfilling year for me would be to clock 1-2 games on each console.  To use 2009 as an example, the games I've played and finished are Uncharted 2, World of Goo (which wasn't even released this year), Monkey Island XBL, Punch Out....oh dear.  Is that it?  As I began typing and scanning my shelf I thought it would be more.  And I didn't even actually finish Punch Out because I couldn't beat the last boss with the motion controls and didn't want to switch to the classic pad.   I've dipped my toe in other titles - four hours on Klonoa, six hours on Okami, four hours on Fifa 10, six hours on Professor Layton (2008), endless hours on multiplayer quiz games, and a handful of others - but that really is a pathetic list of completed games lol.

The sad state of affairs as it stands is that I've played Singstar more than Modern Warfare 2.

Singstar is addictive after all.

:)

I'm getting a PS3 today so I will have all current gen consoles. I consider myself very lucky.

Wow I had no idea so many people played games and didn't finish them, or never even opened the box. Like is it because a game bores you half way through, or it doesn't hold your attention like the game on the horizon, is it a collection thing, are there a lot of purchases you regret?

I'm honestly just trying to understand what compels someone to buy a game and not play it, or not play it more than a couple hours. I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, just genuinely curious.

This is where cycles come in for me, some months it'll be Wii + DS, some months PS3 + PSP, others 360 and PC, trying to get around to everything, 2010 will be hard but the summer can help me catch up for sure.

How true, also Phantasy Star Portable 2 comes out for us NA's next year, AKA the Monster Hunter Killer, which is a good thing since MH is now overrated. on PSP anyways.

I've never really gotten bored of a game.

To me its always that I end up buying a new game before I actually finish then one I started.

Then I start the new one, and the cycle continues.

I always say I'm coming back to play it at a later stage; sometimes i do, but not always to completion.

I've never regretted any of my purchases, cause the ones I don't finish, my brothers always do, so either way nothing gets wasted.

Good intentions.  I wanted to play GTA Chinatown Wars, Final Fantasy XII, Gradius V and Okami (PS2, I've now played the Wii version), but I never even put them in their respective machines.  Dead Space I played for an hour, same with Mass Effect and MGS4.  Superb games like Metroid Prime, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga and Resident Evil 4 have passed me by because I stopped playing after 6 or so hours.  It happens.  I wish it didn't.
