My gosh. That sounds like my own list.

I have yet to finish: Ninja Gaiden, Final Fantasy Ten, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Final Fantasy Seven, Final Fantasy Eight. Viewtiful Joe, Call of Duty, No One Lives Forever 2, GTA III, GTA VC, Rachet and Clank Up Your Arsenal, Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes. Super Metroid, Prince of Persia SOT, Legend of Zelda Fourswords Adventure, Legend of Xelda, Oracle of Seasons, Legend of Zelda I and II (collector's disk) Devil May Cry, Chronicles of Riddick

Probably some others. It is truly absurd the number of games I've finished this year that I started last year or longer ago. It's also crazy how many stupid purchases I've made this year.

As for favorites by genre:

Platforming. Tie, between Mario Sixtyfour and Rachet and Clank Going Commando

FPS. Tough call between Halo and Perfect Dark. I think Perfect Dark--I have almost four days of playtime in multyplayer mode.

RPG. KoToR, hands down. No other RPG could ever motivate me to play though it a second time immediately.

2D Action. This is hard. I'm torn between Metroid Fusion, Castlevania CoTM, and Astroboy Omega Factor. Metal Slug arcade. That is fun too.

3D action. I hate this genre normally. Ninja Gaiden is the best I suppose, but it is so repetiitve...

Adventure. Wow. My favorite Genre... I dunno. Ocarina of Tme, I guess, But Metroid Prime, Majora's Mask, Oracle of Ages, and Prince of Persia SoT are all there in the back of my mind nagging me.

RealTimeStrategy. Agreed. Starcraft hands down. Yuri's revenge is the close, but distant runner up.

TB Strategy. Advance Wars, Easily. those games are scary-fun. And hard.... Beating AW2 put such a big smile on my face.

Don't tell me you missed out on Metroid Zero Mission!

It was a total and excellent remake of the original metroid for the GBA. Came out back in February. It is incredibly short, but really really sweet.
(I nearly beat the game on my own cart, but lost my GBA. I beat the whole game in 2:05 on my friends the next day. Then I found my GBA the day after that.)
Metroid Goodness.

Yes, the difficulty was one of the things that made ALttP so great.


Zelda two was more of an RPG, with a top down overworld. Monsters appeared on screen and attacked you, just like in Mario RPGs, except that they were nearly ikmpossible to dodge. When you fight, or enter a dungeon or town, the game switches to side-scrolling mode, in which you fight real time castlevainia-like battles against pixelated baddies.
It was difficult. Much harder than ALttP, so hard as to be frustrating, as most games were then.
To make it worse, you had to start back at the beginning with every game-over. Which is why I never finished it.
