The Games List

by Jason Preston on May 4, 2006

This list comes up often enough in my head that I figure I should go ahead and put it down. Maybe someday I’ll add it to the sidebar with my other lists.

The list of games I have beaten. (Or arguably “completed”).

Despite the fact that I’ve played gazillions of games, especially on the PC, there’s a relatively small number of games I’ve ever actually played all the way through (without just /nocliping to the end). I think the number is somewhere under 5%, and to me it means that there was something so phenominal about the game that it captured me all the way through.

So here’s that list, in no particular order:

  • TIE Fighter
  • Half-Life (one, two, espisode one)
  • Diablo II (but not the first one)
  • Final Fantasy VII
  • Deus Ex
  • Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
  • Donkey Kong Country
  • World of Warcraft (hit 60 before the expansion)
  • Counter-Strike (OK I know you can’t *beat* this, but I still play it, so I think that counts)
  • God of War II

That’s it. Short list, huh?

    Holy crap! I’ve beaten/completed wayyyy more games than you. Who would’ve seen that coming?

    Isn’t it nuts? I think I suffer from massive massive game-beating-phobia-ADD

    Whoa… I think I’VE played more games all the way through than you have, which is crazy, because I really don’t play games that often. Though, I say “played [...] all the way through” instead of “beaten” because it doesn’t really count if you cheat, and I am way bad at videogames.
