The Greatest Games You Never Completed - Page 2

I had the idea for this when sorting out boxes of stuff in my room and seeing old games packed away.

Admit it, we've all got them. Now, I’m not talking about games you gave up on because they were rubbish or just boring (eg. Resistance 2’s campaign, Just Cause). I genuinely mean a game you enjoyed but that you never completed for one reason or another and then either forgot about it (usually because it got swept up in the holiday rush or something).

To start I’ve got a few examples to get the ball rolling:

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks
I actually enjoyed this game. It was great to play co-op and had all sorts of little touches even a casual MK fan like me could pick up on. I actually got to the last boss, playing on my own, but could not beat him the first few times trying and put it down for a while. Then a bit later I got to playing through it with a friend but we only got about halfway through. I don't think the 360's BC supports it and so I just haven’t picked it up since then.

GRAW 2
Again, the game was good but I bought it along with R6 Vegas not long after I first got my 360 . I think I had too many games to get through that summer (Crackdown, GoW1 etc.) and then Halo 3 came out, and then the holiday releases, and I never really got much further. Picked it up a few months ago but then other new games came out.

Splinter Cell: Double Agent
The idea and story really interested me but I’m just no good at those sorts of games, and I don’t have enough patience to persevere.

That’ll do for now. I’m sure more will follow as I find them.

Feel free to interpret the topic how you will, so if you feel that not doing all the events in a racing game or not doing both good and bad playthroughs of something like KOTOR count then feel free to include them. I know I get distracted halfway through the 'evil' playthrough of every game like that so far.
