Has anybody bought a game and just not got around to playing it?

I have these:

Left 4 dead
Fallout 3
Tomb raider: Underworld

just sat on the shelf that I haven't played yet, had the first 2 a few weeks now.

I also have a tendency to start a game then buy a new one, so then i start that and so on.

I have played about 3 minutes of Crysis, about an hour of Bioshock and Assassins Creed. (I don't think they are bad games i just start playing another game then lose interest).
 
You have a short attention span. All of those games are worth playing to completion, think of it as getting your moneys worth if that helps!

Oh, and to add mine to the list, I bought UT3 but have only played about 3hrs just havent been able to get into it yet. Got stuck on that heatray map too, was too hard!
 
l4d just has to be played mate, i think a lot fo peopel are like that for example i have farcry2 and fallout 3 which ive barely played.

Crysis ive not even got past the first level
 
Played a little bit of Bioshock, haven't even got round to installing Call Of Duty World At War yet!

I am hooked on Football Manager at the moment.
 
If i have nothing else lined up I will play a game till I finish it. But usually a new game is out that I like the look of when I have just started one.

Played COD4, and Halflife 2 and EP1(but not EP2) from start to finish without playing anything else.

But before that the last game I completed was MOH: Allied assault LOL
 
Fallout 3, had for ages, played about 15 minutes worth

Deus Ex 2: Had this for about three years before I installed it! Who knows why!

Crysis gets brilliant IMO, give it another shot if you are bored some time, events really start to get large scale compared to usual FPS games, there are some real 'woah' moments.
 
I also have:

Stalker:SOC
Doom 3
Oblivion
Manhunt (not sure why)
Turok
Gears of war
Pure

Played about 5 minutes of each.

Just realised what a huge waste of money it is.(might just download demo's from now on)
 
Resident Evil 4
Zelda Twilight Princess (I'm on the last boss just ain't had time to complete it)
The Witcher
Test Drive Unlimited
Unreal Tournament 3 (got bored of it)
 
GTA 4, had it since release and still not completed it.

Also had FEAR Persius Mandate sat around for a while but ive now started that and its pretty good.

I am very much like this i thought i was the only one :) I have so many good games its hard for one to keep my interest for any lengh of time. I've played a hour or so of bioshock and fallout 3.

I'm more of a multiplayer gamer these days however gt4 is doing a good job of keeping my interest, i'm about half way through.

The only game i have finshed this year is mass effect. I'm close to finshing warhead and brother in arms after having them many months.

I think i best get around to finshing these games as i am getting about 8 games for christmas, including left4dead, the new call of duty, and fm09.

^^^ Get that Gamecube up and running and play Resident Evil 4 Now! :D Exceptionally popular game.

Well, I have a few but not many I haven't completed. I've yet to finish Thief Deadly Shadows, Farcry 2, Dead Space - dragging on a bit, otherwise a good game and on the 360 I'm on the last level of MOH Airborne, a good game.

In the "didn't complete" category I'd put about 90% or more of the games I buy, including things like Half Life 1 and 2, Deus Ex etc and other so-called "classics". Normally I only buy a game when I've got bored of whatever I'm playing now. I then play the new one until I'm bored, etc.

But the only games I can think of that I've never even started are: GTA:VC and Overlord.

Warcraft 3 (doesn't even have a cd key and i never bothered to sort it out)
