Does it count if they are still in the zip file ;)



j/k



Zero. I don't play many games, but I play the ones I buy.

I have about 7 unopened games sitting around. I keep them sealed because I keep thinking that I'd sell the game if I didn't get a chance to play it. The problem is that by the time I'd go to sell it, the game isn't worth much of anything.

Yea, I do have a simular "problem", but I'm pretty good as resolving it. With my work schedule I get 3 days off (4X10s), and two of those days my fianceee is at work, so I get roughly 20 hours of game time during the day if I want. Most recent ventures?

- Farcry. Opened and beaten
- Painkiller. Opened and am currently playing (about 1/2 way through).
- Morrwind (GOTY Edition). Opened and played for 1 hour. Decided to put it on the back burner but will deffinitly get to it.
- Gothic II. Unopened.
- Deus EX 2. Unopened.
- BF: Vientnam. Opened and play about 30mins-hour a day.
- UT2004. Unopened.
- Splinter Cell: Pandor Tomorrow. Opened, and played. About 1/2 through game.
- The Suffering. Opened and am playing on my PS2. Great game and almost finished.


I think thats about it. BTW, I would like to add that I do get out. I walk/jog about 2-3 times a week with fiancee. We party almost every friday or saturday night.

God, I think my life is almost perfect. I just want to make more money....about 100k/year and I'm good. Should be too far off now. Work is going really well.

TOOOOOOOOONS is all I can say. Usually, I just can't pass up a deal.

I bought the Starseige + Tribes pack back when Tribes was still being called "The undisputed best multiplayer online game ever" and bought Tribes 2 when it hit $5 for the full-size box. Neither has been played and yet now both games are free in the next issue of CGW.

Off the top of my head, there's Serious Sam 1st & Second Encounter, UT2003, MDK2 (LOVED MDK), RTCW (Back before it was cheap), Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3D (Well, I did give it a good run on N64), Megaman X5 (Though I did complete X4 on PC), Megaman Legends, Street Fighter Alpha, Half-Life (One player mode, though I plan to before HL2), Quake3 Team Arena (Quake3 Arena took too much of my time ;)), Final Fantasy VII, Sega Hundred Swords, Sega Sonic CD, Sega Crazy Taxi, well EVERYTHING Sega and TONS more. Seriously, I'm only scratching the surface.

I might just illegally dupe 'em all then sell 'em. J/K but I'm probably never going to play them and I might want to check out the dupe sometime just to see what I missed. :(

What's really sad is that the Gamecube's library, small as it may be, also has way too many AAA titles for me to catch up with. Haven't touched a third of my 25+ games yet and they're all first party! I've played Metroid Prime, but haven't even tried beating it (Keep starting over every time I play. Completed both GBA titles 100% though). Same goes for Eternal Darkeness, Star Fox, Zelda: Windwaker, Zelda Master Quest (Mostly completed then forgot where I was), Zelda Majora's Mask (Bought but never completed on N64 also),and more. Mario Golf, 1080 Avalanche, Wario World, Waverace Bluestorm, Mario Kart: Double Dash and a ton more have never even been played.

You consider yourself a gamer, but have not played through HL SP? :-o

I know :( And it was hailed as the greatest single player game of all time (MDK's previous claim-to-fame, and I DID play that ;)).

It all came down to what I had the time for. I think I let someone borrow it so it has been opened. As a matter of fact, that's probably why I haven't played it (Haven't seen it since).

Jesus! What an ugly looking post I made. Time to clean that up a bit...
