Sports Car GT
World Cup Cricket

They came in a pack of PC games I bought a year or two back, which I only got for System Shock 2.

I honestly can't understand why you'd buy a specific game and then not play it, if you didn't want it why did you buy it in the first place?

[Ady]

I don't know how you people can do this, I really don't.

The only outstanding game I can think of is Wind Waker (which is actually my sister's - she passed it on to me after finishing it herself).

Other than that, I REFUSE to buy a game until I have time to play it as I hate games piling up. I had that problem in the PS1/N64 days and it did my head in.

[dazza_cole]

blimey...where to start: Kotor, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Splinter Cell, Metroid Prime, Suikoden 3, Dark Cloud 2, Biohazard 0, SSX3, Rebel Strike to name just a few.....

[Crono]

At the moment, it's Suikoden 3 which is still sealed. But thats only because I want to try and complete the games I'm currently playing at the moment, instead of jumping ahead and playing a new one and forgetting about the previous game I was playing.

[SharkAttack]

Other than that, I REFUSE to buy a game until I have time to play it as I hate games piling up. I had that problem in the PS1/N64 days and it did my head in.

That is my new way of gaming, but I still couldn't resist pre ordering Mario Kart and 1080. And then I do end up buying the odd game I spot going cheap in the trading forum on here.

Games that I have played for 10-15 minutes and not touched since due to time constraints...

Metroid Prime
Timesplitters 2
Beach Spikers
Viewtiful Joe
PN03
NBA Street
Zelda OoT/MQ Bonus Disc (but I have the N64 version anyway)

Plus I have around 8 games I have yet to complete and want to.

At this rate I will be catching up on my current collection till summer next year at the least!

[Flabio]

Disgaea. Its sitting there waiting for me to have some free time to play it. I'm not too bothered tho, cause you have to buy Atlus US stuff quickly before it goes out of print and up to $100+ on eBay...

Oh, I have an unplayed copy of Lego Racers 2 on PS2 as well, but thats just a completion copy, I played the thing enough while I was working on it to last a lifetime

XBOX - jsrf

GC - Mario Golf, 18 Wheeler

DC - Heavy Metal geomatrix, SF3 third strike

all still shrink wrapped. I really wanna play mario golf but cant bringmyself tobreak the seal. Dunno why, but its cos it was a present and the sentimentality along with the nice packaging is crushing me to think that id have to break the beauty that is the gift. If that makes any sense.

Ico. Maaaan, this sucks bad.

[csuzw]

GBA
Tactics Ogre
Pokemon Crystal and Boktai (they're in Japanese so its a bit difficult)

PC
Temple of Elemental Evil

None of them are sealed because whenever I get a game I rip the packaging off straight away but they have had only about 5 minutes play between them. I will probably play ToEE at some point but the GBA games will probably never be put in my GBA again. I would have played Tactics Ogre if I wasn't all tacticed out from FFTA.

I honestly can't understand why you'd buy a specific game and then not play it, if you didn't want it why did you buy it in the first place?

Indeed, I'm similarly puzzled by this, every game I've bought I've wanted to try out immediatly, if you're of a 'well, I'm sure I'll play it eventually' mindset then why not wait for the budget release?

Ah well, ours is not to reason why.

[Jakeway]

Hardly any of those count though. This about games not even been played once.

Hell, if we're talking about games we haven't even completed, I'd be listing for hours

Same, out of the 10-15 games I've bought this year, I've completed 3 of them: Halo (admitedly I've completed Halo 6 times now ), JSRF and Crimson Sea. Metroid Prime, Gun Metal and Splinter Cell are almost completed (the latter two remain uncomplete due to the difficulty of the last level).
