I find myself not finishing TONS of games now that I'm emulating them. I guess the joy and excitement of getting a new game wears off when you have virtually every game at your disposal. I just don't' feel the need to complete games because it's not like I spent good money on them. I just try a lot out for five minutes and then never play them ever again.

Here are some of mine:Call of Juarez: Completely BROKEN stealth mechanic resulted in several cheap deaths near the beginning of the game (even on the easy setting) since there is no way to tell whether you can be seen and if you make one mistake, instant death. Stupid. I dropped that game quickly enough.Doom 3: It dragged on and on and on and on going through the same dark corridors seeing nothing of interest. It just got boring so I put it down without finishingPrince of Persia - The Warrior Within: This game is a confusing maze and on top of that, the combat system is quite frustrating (although somewhat better than Sands of Time which I DID finish because I loved the platforming element). I will probably pick it up and finish it another time though.Fallout 3: I do not share everyone else's enthusiasm towards this particular game.- Pip Boy Interface is console orientated making it a nightmare for PC gamers who are used to something more geared towards the platform (see games like Diablos and how items/spells/etc are arranged for easy access)- Aiming is ridiculous. You can't point and shoot. There's a probability factor in there whereby you can miss for no apparent reason at all (Understandable when using the VATS system but NOT with manual aiming). This gets ridiculous when using a sniper rifle. However, enemies can snipe you from long distances with ANY weapon EVERY single time. This is just stupidly unbalanced- Your max weight capacity is far too low resulting in frequent trips back to town to sell off stuff (and you need to collect like crazy or else face a shortage of bottle caps)- Your character is painfully slow even when you are below your max weight capacity and are running. Enemies literally move 2x as fast making running for cover impossible.Breath of Fire IV: Got hopelessly lost in the final area of the game and eventually just lost interest (and my saved game soon afterwards. I never felt the motivation to play through the entire game again)Overlord - Raising Hell: Got into it for a while but it became tedious after a while. It's a game I just wanted to love but could not. Same deal with Overlord II.Spore: Got to the 4th phase in this game and the experience just went downhill. I expected a game along the lines of "Evo" for the SNES but instead got a series of mini-games loosely tied together.Crysis: The game became way too glitchy near the end resulting in me getting hopelessly stuck in one of the rooms in the base.Grand Theft Auto II: I used to mess around and cause random havoc but never got into the main game. The poor controls made it impossible to make quick getaways on foot (I mean come on, Turning Left and Right in a 2D game? What happened to Left makes you Go Left and Right makes you go Right?)Grand Theft Auto III & Vice City: I get going with these, they seem fun at first but then some irritating flaws begin to show causing me to eventually lose interest in the game. Horrid controls (when platforming was required), unfair AI that could shoot through walls and kill you in seconds, and a poor or non-existant map that makes you wonder where the nearest Paint 'N Spray is when you really need it.Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas: San Andreas had me going for a while longer than the other games. I played up until the point where you were constantly distracted by defending territories and dating. That ruined it for me.

I didn't finish Final Fantasy II. It's very easy to get killed.
