    Viva Pinata/Naruto/a few others - bought them a long time ago and barely played them. Haven't touched them in over a year probably. New stuff came along and took priority..

    Oh, good lord...

    You guys seriously want to know? Back when I traded in about 90% of my PS2 games to have some money for my new PS3 & its relevant games, I got a big "ovestock" then of games. It's only gotten worse since then, as I simply haven't been able to play games as fast as ones that I want are coming out. I really don't like to play more than 1 or 2 games on a system in the same time frame (otherwise my hands get confused with the different control schemes), and I like to complete the games as much as possible (trophies or no), so that only compounds the issue.

    Well, okay then... here's the list of games I have bought (some of them years ago), and have sitting on my shelves, but have not played them yet (and of course, this doesn't include games out now/soon that I have yet to buy or games I have played to ANY extent):

    PS2:
    -MotorStorm: Arctic Edge
    -Psychonauts
    -Okami
    -Marvel Superhero Squad

    PC:
    -Dragon Age: Origins (and its many expansions)
    -All Fallout 3 expansions
    -Torchlight
    -Spore
    -World of Goo
    -Mass Effect 1 & 2

    DS:
    -Transformers War for Cybertron: Autobots
    -Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
    -Need for Speed: Nitro
    -Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
    -Super Mario 64 DS
    -Nostalgia
    -Spore Creatures
    -Spore Hero Arena
    -Retro Game Challenge
    -Kirby Super Star Ultra
    -Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
    -Dragon Quest V
    -Dragon Quest IX
    -Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
    -Tak: Mojo Mistake
    -Overlord Minions
    -Crash Boom Bang!
    -Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games
    -The Legendary Starfy

    PS3:
    -Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2
    -Brutal Legend
    -LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga
    -LEGO Indiana Jones: The Adventure Continues
    -LEGO Batman
    -LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4
    -SEGA Superstars Tennis
    -Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing
    -Sonic Unleashed
    -Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds
    -Prince of Persia (the "reboot" one)
    -Ghostbusters
    -Batman: Arkham Asylum
    -Need for Speed: Underground
    -Need for Speed: Shift
    -MotorStorm: Pacific Rift
    -DiRT 2
    -GRID
    -PURE
    -FUEL (What is it with racing games having their titles in all-caps?)
    -Split/Second
    -Naughty Bear
    -Spiderman: Web of Shadows
    -Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions
    -Toy Story 3
    -inFamous
    -Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
    -Mini Ninjas
    -X-Men Origins: Wolverine
    -Overlord II
    -3D Dot Game Heroes



    ....So yeah, even if NO OTHER GAMES came out, I think I'd be good until about 2014.

    Pretty much everything the THQ mega-pack valve sold at an insane price a few months ago.

    I'm not a big RTS guy, and that pack was 80% RTS.

    Otherwise, I play most of the games I buy almost immediately after buying them.

    I was all like WTF here. I have just over a dozen games and I play the shit out of them.

    I wish I had enough money to buy agmes and forget about them/never get around to them.

    SNES:
    Super Castlevania 4 (played, but not finished)
    Super Valis 4 (game is annoyingly hard!)

    DS:
    Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
    Zelda: Spirit Tracks

    PS1/ PS2:
    Viewtiful Joe
    Tokobots Plus
    Godzilla
    Phantasy Star 2 on the Sega Collection (played, but not finished)
    FF 10 part 2 (played, not finished)
    FF9 (same deal)
    Devil May Cry


    I've popped them all in at some point, but either have yet to finish them or didn't barely play them. I'm not a big fan of the stylus controls on Zelda. I thought I'd be controlling Link with the gold old fashioned D-pad. I suppose I should give those games another crack.

    My answer to the main question - more than I care to name. I've played most, but not played to completion which is my usual yardstick.

    I tend to get mine because they're usually like golddust later on.

    I just don't have the time to play them all and do other stuff as well. One day I'll get round to all of them. One day.

    My GTA 4 sat there for almost 2 years before I played it. I shouldn't have waited so long, it was awesome.

    That said, there's a few games I've bought, played a bit of and then left. Metroid Prime 3 being probably the biggest offender. Doom 3 was another. The Zelda Oracle games are a twosome for "played a bit, then left".

    Actually, believe it or not, I don't spend much money on video games. About 80% of the games I listed above I got from 1 of 3 situations:
    -Birthday/Christmas presents (that or money is more or less all I ask for, since asking for particular TFs just confuses other people, especially with the multiple versions of characters that are very common these days)
    -A member of my family bought the game for themselves, but I want to play it too
    -A REALLY good deal on games shows up at a particular store, like a buy 1/get 1 50% off or buy 2/get the 3rd free. (The former deal is how I just got Toy Story 3 & Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions a few days ago.)

    MY GTA 4 has been sitting there for about as long as it has been out. Played it once when I first got it for about 30 minutes, haven't touched it since.

    Others I have now:

    GBA:
    Golden Sun
    Zelda: Minish Cap (actually it's on my Xbox now)

    PSP (all still sealed):
    Mega Man (the one with the big heads).
    Castlevania (I can't recall the title)

    DS:
    Just too many to name, Final Fantasy (3,4, etc.) Zelda, Castlevania, I don't even remember there are too many.

    Xbox 360:
    GTA4

    PS3:
    FFXIII

    Wii:
    Metroid Prime 3
    New Super Mario Bros.
    Paper Mario


    That's just what I have now, there have been many others in the past (Each and every Metroid Prime) that have taken me years to go to.

    Final Fantasy XIII. Got it for my birthday, but I never bothered to play it. I guess what with the mixed reviews and my Xbox 360 getting more playtime than the PS3...those could be it. I might end up selling it, probably because I haven't played a Final Fantasy game since VII, and the controls would be a helluva lot different.

    Interestingly enough, I play most of the games I get for my consoles, especially the Wii. The Wii is my party system, since I have the most controllers for that and I have friends over a lot.

    I just usually tend to leave the really shitty games I buy, like Final Fantasy X, the TF Movie 1 game, and a LOT of DS games.

    I also haven't touched Beatles Rock Band recently. Dunno why that is.

    You're not missing much. :lol

    What sucks even more is that the "Wii" games that I did play were all games from previous generations: Kid Icarus, Zelda Link to Past, Star Fox.

    Same here. :(  That's all I ever use the Wii for anymore: playing old-school games. To be fair, the Wii has good games, but ever since it came out, there's been an ocean of crappy third-party games flooding the video game aisles. I don't want some game made by Southpeak, I want Mario, dammit!

    PC
    Mass Effect 2
    Tons of steam games I got on sale

    PS3
    God of War 3
    Fallout 3
    Prince of Persia
    Uncharted
    Infamous
    Halo 3

    360
    Table Tennis
    Virtua Fighter 5
    Silpheed
    Quite a few Xbox Live arcade games

    Wii (5-6 games gave this away to niece so at least it they got played)

    Thankfully most of these I got when places like Walmart or Gamestop were doing buy 2 get 1 free or other decent deals. A few though were day 1 full price buys, which is pretty sad.
