Welcome to my all time pending games blog, I completed working on this like 10 days ago but didn't got time to post it. The idea of making this blog came from my chatting with David on MSN a month or 40 days ago. We both decided that We'll make a list of all time pending or left games, Mine has been finally completed, don't know about his 
I wouldn't lie, This blog took me a lot of time, Yep a lot. I didn't wanted to miss any game, So I went through years of release dates of games and some discussion with my brother & cousin, Searched a lot here and there and finally came up with the ultimate list 
, It was tough and mostly I did it for myself cause i wanted to know that how many games I've pending or left
Usually I'm one of those who doesn't leaves a game, How terrible it is or how hard it is, It's my first priority to end it, Sometimes I also lost save data's of games, So I started from beginning. I don't like games being left 
A game to qualify as pending status must have been from 5th Generation to 7th (Current) Generation and should have been completed at least 15% because sometimes we play a game, Don't like it and throw it away, Those aren't pending in my opinion that's only trying, So enough of my crap let's begin with the list
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm Covering 9 titles today and I'll cover 9 more in next part, There is a total of 18 pending games in this list and from them 2 have been beaten, So only 16 left
PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PS2
REASON OF LEAVING = I'm a huge fan of the franchise, I ended almost impossible Hitman, Then ended Hitman Silent Assassin with Silent Assassin ranking on each mission. Also ended Contracts with 0 on board SA ranking in each mission. I loved Blood Money but my exams came, I think that was 2 years ago, I left it and never picked it again.
POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = I don't think so, I'll ever play it again because trial and error hurts and it'll take a lot of time.
PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PC
REASON OF LEAVING = I played this game after defeating GTA VC and SA, So you know it was really boring, Still I wanted to end it but the difficulty was punishing, After some time I started it again with custom content but the game had issues with XP, So left it for good.
POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = No, Even If I get the chance, I wouldn't waste my time.
PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PS2
REASON OF LEAVING = I wasn't a good player in those days, POP Warrior Within was very difficult platformer and the puzzles were super hard and The path was so confusing So I left it.
POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = Yes ofcourse I'd love to play the game, I didn't even ended The Two Thrones because I decided that I'll end that after ending this one, So last year I ended Sands of Time, Loved it but for somewhat reason didn't played POP Warrior Within, Which is sad but Still I really want to play this.
[DEFEATED]
PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PS2
REASON OF LEAVING = I left it in the last chapter because my brother exchanged the game with another game.
POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = When I made this list, I had it pending but I'm really happy that now I've ended it, It was a great game and you will see it's review in my Oct's ending games blog.
PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PC
REASON OF LEAVING = My Exams this year, I left 3 games at that time, One was NFS Undercover, Second was World of Goo and the last was Rise of The Argonauts.
POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = I wouldn't lie the framerate was horrible but still I was enjoying it, I had completed like 40% of the game, I would like to end this one in future.
[DEFEATED]
PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PC
REASON OF LEAVING = As mentioned above, My Exams this year.
POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = When I made this list, I had it pending but I'm glad that's it's gone for good, It was a horrible game but Somehow I ended it, It was super crap. I had ended 80% game from before, So picking it and mastering it was really hard.
PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PC
REASON OF LEAVING = As mentioned above, My Exams this year.
POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = It was a great game but was hard and required too much of time, Trial and error is the second name of the game but It was very interesting and wonderful experience. I'd like to play it again but it seems that I won't 
.
PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PC
REASON OF LEAVING = I'm a super fan of Sims series, Accidentally got this and it was childish, It's super repetitive and annoying and boring, So I left it.
POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = No I don't think I'll ever waste my time on this one.
PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PC
REASON OF LEAVING = I don't know You'll call me crazy or not but I've a problem whenever I play this game I feel dizzy and like throwing up or puking. I don't know that it's only me or someone else also has the same problem.
POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = I tried it two times but the same happened, So I don't think I'll ever play it again although I really wanted to play it, Anyone has a solution 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATES
- I wanted to add opinion about games in my last blog but due to character limit, I was unable to do that, There is one game about which I think I must say something and It's GOW Chains of Olympus. I ended the game in GOD mode and it was super hard: Truly. I've also ended GOW 1 & 2 in very Hard difficulty but this one was the most hard one because of lack of two analogue sticks, Sometimes bad camera angles, Less place to evade & Hard to master controls (In High Difficulties), Lack of weapons was also one reason, It was really really really hard and I don't think it's possible to do for any normal gamer. In the end still It's the best Game I've played on the system and It's a must have.
- I hope Halloween was good enough for you all, My favourite part about Halloween is SAW, I haven't watched the latest entry but hopefully I'll watch it on Saturday. By the Way I love the Saw series.
- I picked something I wanted to play since it's launch, It's Prototype. I'm loving it and I play it from 2 to 3 hours daily and will end it till Saturday hopefully.
- Wait for the second part of this entertataining blog in a few days and my 50th blog is coming soon, So there will be something special ......

You really should finish Prince of Persia Warrior Within. It was a great game. The hardest out of the Sands of Time trilogy though.
I have a ton of games in progress, and will probably end up starting over for half of them
Anyway, I read all of your reasons and I say they are completely valid reasons as to not finish a game. But ironically, for me, I tend to ALWAYS beat games during exams and finals because if I study to hard my results turn out to be worse because I get too focused on one thing, etc... it's a ball like that. So I play and beat a lot of games during finals.
I've never played any of the games you have posted up here. They're not my types, but I like Prince of Persia Sands of Time (?) game. I thought it was a lot of fun, but then I gave up because I found more games I liked more and it got difficult.
Hitman is also fun, but so hard sometimes.
I also play my PSP games at night when I can't sleep, so I finish a game or two each school year too.
As for Mirror's Edge, it is at Wal-Mart for about $15 or $20 and I'm going to convince my mom to buy it for me on her next paycheck. I would reccomend going on roller coasters to create a better immunity for your problems.
Nice game update
Good luck conquering those. Mirror's Edge is a really short game, so why not just get it out of the way?
Strange Comment, Unfortunately unclear
, It's a pending games blog and your comment was strangeI'll agree with you, Everyone should play games with complete devotion, To me it feels like a responsibility to end a game. Mostly games have poor first effect and get interesting later, There are very few games from which you don't get any fun and yeah I mean many few.........
You should also make a blog like this Vari.......
Oh I'm not crazy but Yeah I'd like to end this list if ever possible in my life, Oh I also play games in all of exams except finals, I stop playing games almost 2o days ago........
Yeah Sands of Time was awesome, Especially ending scene was quite funny when he kisses the princes and then reverses the time with the dagger......
I hope the movie will be good too.....
Except for POP Warrior Within, I think all other are easy. You should give a try to the latest POP, It's awesome game and is way too easy......
Yeah Hitman is really fun but requires a lot of time to master......
The same rule goes for me, This pending list includes games from 99, So you see I have really less pending games, I also end games on PSP but I end more then you, I end like 6-7 games per year and you only do 2-3, So I'm good at this
.........Oh yeah, You grab it. good idea about Rollercoaster, I don't like them a lot, I only like Mary Go Rounds
......
Yeah, I played that Hitman game before, it's good and worth a playthrough despite it's flaws. It can be frustrating, but it's still solid.
GTA III really isn't better than those GTA games you played, and I played those games you listed too. I played VC and SA too and couldn't really go back to that game either, those other games are so much better. I see where you're coming from.
POP Warrior Within made some changes from the previous game I played that gave it a different feel, and focuses a lot on combat unlike the 1st game. Still, it can be worth a shot if you want to play it, but be prepared for the changes.
Dude, I really like Tomb Raider Legend, glad you beaten it, Lara sure does look great doesn't she?
Rise of the Argonauts will sure last you a while, and with exams in the way, you have to manage your time carefully as you have to put up with that game's flaws.
It's a shame that Need for Speed game had to be bad, but at least you finished it and the new one Shift is good, you should try it to forget that game.
My Sims doesn't sound worth it in the long run, you might want to skip it.
That's a shame about Mirror's Edge, it's a decent game, as for a solution, find a way to keep focus.
That PSP GOW game sounds hard, maybe I should try it whenever I get a PSP.
Well, I loved the 1st Saw at least, the rest were barely ok IMO. Didn't see the 6th one yet.
Good luck with Prototype, I should try it one day.
I can't wait man. You sure do put effort into this, and my 1st comment didn't help at all to contribute, but I hope this comment does. Thanks for reading and I want a response too.
About POP WW,I don't know man
,the game wasn't very hard for me. I've finished it like 6 or 7 times before. The whole combat system makes me want to play that game again and again .
, Prince of Persia is great too, I've beaten the first 3 games, just great
Well may be you are right but This problem was terrible....... May be I'll give Mirror's Egde one more shot in fututre
Well That game is impossibly hard and second it doesn't works on 64 bit window versions.............BUT 1 thing is sure I wouldn't play GTA 3 ever again
Well I know you are busy and yeah Shift was million times better then NFS undercover
Well you at least played it on Normal, It was a great game (GOW COO), Wasn't it???
I'm talking about old times VJ, I mean 5 years or so prior. Well this means you love POP WW huh, Well hopefully I'll play it someday
......Yep Legend was an awesome game, i also started Anniversary but it's horribly tough and confusing and boring at times........

Hey Gillian, you forgot to check out this blog, You know i always love to see your comment, So please if you got some time, Check out this blog and give me your awesome opinion......
Hey David, you forgot to check out this blog, You know i always love to see your comment, So please if you got some time, Check out this blog and give me your awesome opinion......
I finished Rise of the Argonauts (on 360) not too long ago and it was ok, I wasn't overly impressed though - I seemed to spend about 80% of my time talking to people and only 20% actually fighting stuff!
And I know exactly what you mean about Mirrors Edge making you feel sick - I get that with almost all first-person games. It's actually a form of motion sickness that you're experiencing, although it's unusual for you to get it with just one game. I tend to get it worst in games in which your character 'bobs' up and down when he/she walks, so I can't play Bioshock at all but I'm not bad with Left 4 Dead!
Oh and I just bought Prototype too - I haven't started it yet but I will soon
I have to say that Eidos definitely made the right move to hand down the series to Crystal Dynamics as they breathe new life into an aging series and made it fresh again. As for Warrior Within and Silent Assassin, I never gotten around to finishing them. Rest assured, I'll finish one of them by the end of the month and keep you posted on my progress. Expect my pending games list to be up next week.
It's an awesome game but you should have given a shot to GOW 2 also. It's epic game
