I'm surprised you and Zo aren't on Steve Ballmer's Xmas card list.

I can't think of any games I completed this year, off the top of my
head. A few.

There you go, your nerdy OCD meets my massive indifference.

I don't keep a log so these are just the ones that googling +asktoby
+finished over the last 12 months yielded:

Metroid Prime 3 (Great stuff)
Castlevania PoR (Bad ending)
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath (Took a while to get going but worth it)
Call of Duty 4 (Off the hook, even if it is an interactive movie where
you click on people's heads to move forward the story.)
Sin Episodes (More HL2 is never a bad thing.)
Crysis (Loved this. I am Predator!)
Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil (Glad to have it behind me, tbh).
Magic Pen (Randomly)
Quake 4 (OK)
Resident Evil 4 (Brilliant)
Guitar Hero 2 (Naff)
The House of the Dead 3 (Arcade)
Deus Ex 2 (Hyped about DX3! Seen the trailer yet?)

I can't remember what I have played this year, I would have to see a list of
what has been released.
I do recall I did finish most games I played, but my memory is hazy on the
rest of it.

Posting to usenet at this time of year... it's telling. We're the new

Tiger Woods 09 - held the attention brilliantly.

Fallout 3 - brilliant, bring on the DLC

Dash for Destruction - rubbish, a useful free 200 points but a
terrible game

Bioshock - great game, not 1Ked but completed main quest
probably will go back to get the full 1K

Call of Duty 4 - completed on the 14th Jan last year

Halo 3 - distinctly disappointing

Just Cause - great game, where the hell is JC 2? thought it was due
for release in November....

Surfs Up - virtually no replay value and I did only play it for 3 days
but I did really enjoy those 3 days!

The Force Unleashed - excellent

TMNT - OK it was only for the Achievements but it was a reasonably
entertaining game.

which I ended up playing through multiple times (HBM I must have done
ten times now, or something ridiculous like that).
