I'd venture my list of started/finished games is much higher than yours. iirc, you've not finished FEA or BGEE yet, right?
I have beat FEA. On the last chapter of the original game in BGEE.

This is also an unfair comparison, considering the games we play. If I played more 5-8 hour games, then yeah I would be there too.

I have an issue with finishing, but I usually play games 3/4 the way through or more. I typically get stuck doing end game sidequests and then get sidetracked or bored. I essentially play everything except the ending.

I'm surprisingly down for this list. :lol:

@BoneSnap

Thanks for clarifying. I will probably go for the snes/gba version if it is selected.
+ Lost Vikings as well.

+1 Lost Vikings. I'll see if I can dig up a Genesis Copy.
+1 Oddword. Can we play the whole Oddworld series one month? They're funny, intelligent, charming games that don't take themselves too seriously.

Speaking of games that take themselves too seriously, I would like to politely vote against Deus Ex. I don't really want to get drawn into the larger argument, so I'll just stop talking about Deus Ex here.

I love deus ex.... but i already played that almost to dead so...
FPS: Blood
Racing: Wave Race
Platformer: Megaman
If we go with a megaman maybe we should go with one that has a password system
Beat'em up: Dungeons and Dragons
3D Platformer: Psychonauts
Strategy: Starcraft
Action Adventure: Flashback
Hack n slash: Devil May cry
Horror themed: Dino Crisis
Shmup: What about if we try all the diferent ports/versions/sequels of space invaders? (Yes even space raiders) I mean LOOK! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sp ... ideo_games
There's enough for a whole month!

Rail Shooter: Space Harrier
Adventure: Phanstasmagoria

I just selected the games already voted at least once, but i would like to suggest some (because the list of suggested games is so short), resident evil dead aim, Siren.

Age of Empires 1 or 2, Warcraft 2, Doom 64 (nobody ever mentions doom 64 when they talk about doom). As for "bad games" cosmic carnage i often hear is bad (i kinda like it), Shemue, You are empty, bart vs the world, home alone 2. And that's all i got now.

All I find in Deus Ex games are hackneyed conspiracy/sci-fi cliches and a blend of FPS and RPG mechanics that lacked polish then and that have been done much better in subsequent games (making them hard to go back to).
Don't want to derail the thread even more but... totally agree with that... well half agree. If a game can't "get me" in about 3-5 hours of playing it then i just stop instead of forcing myself on keep going into something i don't like. Funny i enjoy it deus ex since the first minute.
