Thus far this year I've completed;

Osu Tetake Ouendan! (and s-ranked it all )
Guitar Hero
New Super Mario Bros
The Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion (my game of the year pick so far)
Shadow of the Colossus, which I just finished today
And the following shmups but i'm not sure they count;
Ikaruga
Ibara (I can *almost* 1cc this now)
DodonPachi (ditto)


Unfortunately I have quite the 'got halfway through, stopped, quite possibly won't play again' pile:

Phoenix Wright
Dragon Quest 8
Tetris DS
Zelda 4 swords (GC, got it super cheap from play-asia)
Rez (ditto, didn't enjoy)

I'm expecting out of those, the only one I'll re-visit is phoenix wright, which I would have finished if Oblivion hadn't come out a few days into me owning it.

This is an absolutely massive list for me, I can't remember playing anything all the way through for the whole of 05.

Tetris DS

Is Tetris a game you can ever finish and cross off? I was planning to get this just to play online.

This summer now I'm lacking a PS2 after moving out of my old house I'm going to concentrate on all things GC:

Zelda: Wind Waker - Only started this year and since I was using my ex's brother's copy I have to get my own to carry on. Top of my list to finish.

These I've owned for a while and left to restart again, be nice to finish them off before the Wii comes out or I get too into the DS:

Metroid Prime
Viewitful Joe
Billy Hatcher (started playing this again, forgot how fun it was)
Adventure Island

[captain binman]

Completed:
phoenix wright
Half-life 2
GTA SA(only the story)

dreamfall: the longest journey

I meant Tetris more in a "I bought it but never really played it at all yet" sort of way, though there are mission modes and stuff I think you can finish.

Completed

Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Ico
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Kingdom Hearts 2
Grandia III
.hack//Infection

Currently Playing

.hack//Mutation
Final Fantasy IV Advance
Final Fantasy XI (suppose you can't exactly 'complete' this)

Huge backlog of stuff to finish, or even start playing... but with Wii round the corner, my plan to start Oblivion soon, FFXII coming etc, the other 2 .hack games as well as the forthcoming GU, Phantasy Star Universe soon, I won't be revisting the backlog any time soon.

Finished Oddworld: Strangers Wrath today and for the most part thoroughly enjoyed it. First longish game I've been able to stick with for ages.

Also finished Aladdin on the SNES, but it doesnt really count as it's so easy

[Welrain]

Finshed Advance Wars: Dual Strike, very enjoyable...now to the rock hard umm hard mode


---

Way to hard -SOLD :-#

Finished all 4 .hack games now, really good fun. Flawed, and seem really crap at first, but they grow on you.
Now I've watched SIGN, played all 4 games, watched the Liminality OVA's, read AI Buster, read the Legend of the Twilight manga... gotta watch Roots and I'm prepped for .hack//GU later this year!

Re-playing FFVII right now, as I've not played it for about 6 years and have forgotten most of the plot... wanna rememeber so I can move on to Dirge of Cerberus.

I finally got around to finishing MGS3: Subsistence earlier. After a legendary rant about how **** I thought Snake Eater was (no radar + organic environment + fixed camera = frustration) I was keen to try it with the 3D camera and boy, what a difference it makes, even for all the other flaws like cluttered controls. Apart from one annoying sequence in the run up to the final boss I thoroughly enjoyed it. Fantastic ending as well, which was refreshing after so many games with a 30-second ending cinematic.

In all it took me a shade over 20 hours and I got the Panther rating.

On the subject of the cluttered controls, I really hope they take the time to rethink them a bit for MGS4. I watch the trailers and see plenty of new moves and just fear that they're going to struggle to squeeze them into an already-full repertoire. Example: in the final boss fight I was

->Open Spoiler<-

laying in the grass and sniping by lifting my head up. To do this I had to hold all four shoulder buttons in a certain order and handle the fire button while making sure I pressed it hard enough to register as a shot and maintaining constant pressure on L2 and R2 to stop my view bobbing up and down

. Not exactly user friendly.

Never played it, but mate you have to be joking!! That sounds frankly insane.

[NekoFever]

It's not actually as bad as it sounds since you kind of get the hang of it over 20 hours, but when you write it out like that it does sound a bit ridiculous.
