Four in February

According to PBS's web series "Game Show" only 10-20% of games are actually played to completion.  Fellow gamers, that is a travesty (and one that I'm guilty of)!  I have seen several articles relating to Joystiq's "Four in February" challenge which pushes gamers to pick four games that they haven't finished and complete them in the month of February (you can read a Kotaku article related to this challenge here).

I would love to commit to this, but think I would fail horribly.  So what games are in your so-called "pile of shame?"  I hate to admit to many of mine but they still aren't finished.  Here's my pile:

1.) Divinity:  Original Sin
I am extremely happy about the resurrection of the CRPG but just haven't been able to finish this awesome game.  The really sad part about it is that I'm pretty sure I'm like 80-90% done with it (I think I've played about 60-70 hours).  I've enjoyed pilfering paintings and gold cups but am really struggling to find the motivation to finish it off.  Every time I enter combat it feels like it takes forever (damn you modern developers who have made combat so much easier--now I expect it to be a faceroll and when it's not I lose interest).  Shame on me for not finishing a game that won a lot of awards and respect.  Someday I will finish you....someday!  (Most likely this summer.  For realsies.)

2.) Gauntlet
My brother bought me this as a gift which was really awesome but I haven't finished off this modern remake of the arcade classic.  It's one game that really needs multiple people and is much more fun with a group.  I've tried to solo through some of it and have found that it's not as engaging with just one person.  I think if I really buckled down I could finish it fairly easily.

3.) The Space Quest Collection
I enjoy classic games.  Especially classic games from my youth that have fond memories attached to them.  As a kid the King's Quest and Space Quest series were two of my favorites.  Sierra really had a great thing going with both of these adventure games.  Sadly, I have not finished all of the games in the series.  I own the full collection of both (Kings Quest I-VII and Space Quest I-V or possibly VI) and still haven't finished all the games in either series.  I would love to finish them..someday.

4.) Spelunky
Ugh.  Just looking at the title makes me depressed.  I know there are a lot of people who absolutely love this game.  It got much critical acclaim and I gleefully bought into it only to discover that I want nothing to do with this game.  It sits in my library and the 45 minutes of playtime stares me right in the face.  I feel much shame over Spelunky...so much shame.

Those are the top four that I can think of.  I know I have many others that lie unfinished....The Elder Scrolls III:  Morrowind, Five Nights at Freddy's (1 and 2--I am a coward), Crypt of the NecroDancer....just to name a few.
