A year later... Fall 2007's games: How many have you played?

I think fall (ok, August on) of last year was one of the most exciting years for gaming, because every platform had at least one huge release.

Here's a partial list:
Assassin's Creed
Bioshock
Call of Duty 4
Guitar Hero III
Halo 3
Mass Effect
Metroid Prime 3
Orange Box
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Rock Band
skate
Super Mario Galaxy
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass


Out of the games you wanted to play last year around this time, how many do you still have to get to?

I've got at least a handful: Uncharted, Galaxy, Assassin's Creed, Eternal Sonata, etc. And I still want to play through Bioshock a second time, get prestige in COD4, finish Mass Effect, etc.

The one out of all of these that I played the most was probably Rock Band.

Bioshock - Will skip in favor of Dead Space.
Call of Duty 4 - Quickly became my all-time favorite game.
Halo 3 - In my un-played pile. Will get to it, oh, sometime after Fallout 3.
Rock Band - Haven't played, but RB 2 will probably be my next purchase.

Assassin's Creed - don't have a PS3, this one didn't appeal to me
Bioshock - played, beat, loved
Call of Duty 4 - not huge into competitive FPS
Guitar Hero III - I went with RB instead
Halo 3 - played, beat
Mass Effect - wanted to play, heard lot of negatives about loading and some gameplay decisions
Metroid Prime 3 - not interested
Orange Box - bought, played (not beat yet)
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction - don't have a PS3
Rock Band - got on release day, played the crap out of
skate - not into skating
Super Mario Galaxy - played, I guess 1/2 way through, got bored
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - don't have a PS3
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - not into point and clicks

This is an interesting topic; I get into the hype and want to buy some games on release day, but then for most of them, I think, In six months or three months or two months I can get it for 10-50% less, and my enjoyment will not be lessened. Or I won't even want to play it by then, so I save 100%.

Assassin's Creed -- Just barely started it last winter
Bioshock -- Bought when it came out (360), still haven't touched it
Call of Duty 4 -- Played it a lot last winter/spring
Guitar Hero III -- Played a fair amount last winter
Halo 3 -- Bought it based on hype, played it a few hours, traded it away
Mass Effect -- Nope...might rent it some day
Metroid Prime 3 -- My poor Wii. Never gets any attention.
Orange Box -- Nope
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction -- Probably played halfway through
Rock Band -- Played a ton consistently until RB2
skate -- Played quite a bit when it came out, good game.
Super Mario Galaxy -- Actually did play this a few hours...still not nearly finished
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune -- Just bought a couple months ago, only played a few minutes
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure -- Nope
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass -- Nope

So basically I buy half the games I own based on hype, and take forever to get to them. I usually enjoy them quite a bit once I finally start them.

I probably won't end up playing through GH3 or Rock Band, I'm just not that interested in rhythm games, but I want to play skate eventually.

Assassin's Creed - One of my favorite games, ever. Absolutely loved it. I even killed every Templar but haven't done enough to get 1000 Achievement points.
Bioshock - Stopped playing it around 75% through.
Call of Duty 4 - Probably the best shooter of all-time. Loved the hell out of it.
Guitar Hero III - Played this a bit, I suck at these music games.
Halo 3 - Great multiplayer experiences. Fun times.
Mass Effect - One of my favorite 360 games. The best sci-fi/RPG-ish game. I loved the hell out of this game. Will pre-order Mass Effect 2.
Metroid Prime 3 - No Wii for me.
Orange Box - Played this, never got into it.
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction - Played a little bit, but never got into it.
Rock Band - I liked this much better than Guitar Hero... but again I suck at these games.
skate - Never got into this.
Super Mario Galaxy - No Wii for me.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - I loved this game... until the game jumped the shark for me. And it got pretty frustrating.. I should pick it up again.
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure - ???
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - No Wii for me.

Assassin's Creed-Just got it, in the "to play" pile
Bioshock-Tried it, didnt do anything for me. Bunch of people wanted me to give it another try and i did and it still did nothing for me
Call of Duty 4-Awesome Awesome Awesome
Guitar Hero III-Ok, the look was kinda stall and the actual gameplay was not very tight, but having few covers was nice
Halo 3-Ive played all the Halos and could not tell you a damn thing about the story. Mulitplayer is still played in the apartment
Mass Effect-Didnt appeal
Metroid Prime 3-Hate Metroid
Orange Box-Played it wasnt impressed
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction-Want to play it
Rock Band-Owned it got bored. Bought RB2 and love it way more than any of the Guitar Heros
skate-Easily the best game of last year. I played the demo just as much as i played the demo for the original Tony Hawk. Hopefully this game doesnt go the way of Tony Hawk
Super Mario Galaxy-Want to play it
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune-Great game
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure-Heard good things, haven't tried it yet
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass-Owned it got to the end and like an idiot traded it. Loved it while i was playing it and fully intend on picking it back up

Assassin's Creed - After the first hour, got bored and sold it.

Bioshock - Played all the way through twice to get all achievements.

Call of Duty 4 - Finished single-player on default difficulty and haven't revisited, though I did love the game.

Halo 3 - Played through several times on co-op.

Mass Effect - Bought, but the controls felt a little clunky to me, so I never got past the first half hour. Need to give it another chance someday.

Metroid Prime 3 - Made it about two hours in and then something else stole my interest and I haven't revisited it.

Orange Box - Loved it. Finished Portal & the three Half Life 2 games.

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction - Lots of fun. Finished it once, but didn't play through a second time to max out my weapons, which is my usual m.o. with R&C games.

Super Mario Galaxy - Played through and beat. Got every star but one.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - Made it about halfway before moving on to other games. Need to go back and finish.

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure - Played for maybe 4 or 5 hours, but it got lost in the pile of other games. Need to pull it back out at some point.

Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - Fuck this game. Ok, maybe that's a bit extreme, but I really hated going through the same god damn temple a dozen times. I put in a fair amount of time on this when traveling until it finally annoyed me enough to pop it out and not return.

Just so you people know, Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass was a DS game. Twilight Princess was the Wii/GC game.

Call of Duty 4 - I dunno, maybe 1/4 way through solo.
Guitar Hero III -
Halo 3 - no XBox
Mass Effect - no XBox
Metroid Prime 3 - 50% through? Don't remember why I stopped. I'm sure it probably had something to do with Rock Band.

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction - played the demo, waiting for a solid deal
Rock Band - the all consuming one.
skate - meh
Super Mario Galaxy - unopened
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - played through, beat, want to play through again
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure - lot of frickin fun. my mom has this one so I play a few puzzles whenever I'm over.
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - didn't really interest me
