Mortuss's Hall of Shame

When I was a child, there was no game I owned that I hadn't tried mining for fun. Whether it was Battletoads, Duck Hunt, Bionic Commando or even Sesame Street 123/ABC, you could be certain I played it if I got the chance. These days are no more. Whether its an inevitable result of more financial freedom (i'm a sucker for sales) and more responsibilities (like work and Giant Bomb videos) meeting or how intimidating its become to think about digging into the stack, a (shudder) backlog has formed. I'm feeling more and more ashamed of how large the backlog has gotten, and how many good (reputedly) games are in it. I feel like it might be cathartic to show how bad it's gotten in a public forum, so here goes: These are the games I own, but haven't played.

List items

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles

Ah Playstation Plus. You mean well.
Lost Planet 2

That demo was pretty neat... ugh. I say that alot.
Dark Void

Hmmm, can't get the actual games page to come up on this list. Wierd. Anyway, the owner of my Local Game Shop handed this to me since no one wanted it. Ringing endorsement I know.
LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues

Only Lego game I have that I haven't played. The Crystal Skull being in there really holds it back. Shia Labeouf is Indy's son? Really?
Rochard

Humblebundle
Vanquish

Demo...
Waking Mars

Those humblebundles man, I can't even remember what this game is about.
ICO

Playstation Plus thoughtfully provided this one so I could see what the deal is. Unfortunately anytime someone describes it as one long escort quest I have a panic attack.
Battlefield 3

Competitive multiplayer isn't really my bag, so I'm not sure this is even worth getting into at this point.
Supreme Commander 2

Console + Real-Time Strategy = Nope
TimeShift

I totally have a cool story about why I have this one. I swear. No, really! FINE, the demo seemed kinda neat alright! Man... I've got a problem.
Stealth Bastard Deluxe

It just kinda snuck into my Steam account one day. Didn't have the heart to let it know I'd noticed.
Blue Dragon

Rpgs take a long time to play man, a really dauntingly long time to play. I have something resembling a life.
Oil Rush

Gonna be honest Humblebundle, I just took this one for the sake of giving you some money.
The Unfinished Swan

This excuse is unfinished.
Jak and Daxter Collection

Yup, a hat trick of shame in one handy package. Wanted to learn what all the nostalgic love was about, still haven't.
Resistance 2

Thanks dad! Not sure what this is yet, but I'll find out eventually.
NightSky

I got nothing. Humblebundle
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

I appreciate you giving me this PS+, but I already have DDVanilla on Xbox. I'm not sure I want to start all over for some new content.
Frozen Synapse

This is multiplayer right? Thanks anyway Humblebundle.
English Country Tune

What are you trying to tell me Humblebundle?
Iron Brigade

Well Microsoft, I guess I appreciate you're trying to get into handing out free games. Nothing against Iron Brigade, but this isn't really how you wow people with a feature like that. Seriously though, game looks fun.
Capsized

Cool picture huh? I thought so too.
Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves

Last one in the Sly collection I haven't touched yet.
Back to the Future: The Game

This will not be the first entry from the Telltale Humblebundle.
Hector: Badge of Carnage

And this won't be the last.
Sam & Max Episode 301: The Penal Zone

throw in Episodes 302-305 in there as well. Alright, the Telltale section is done, I promise.
Hitman: Absolution

PS+ is trying to get me into the Hitman series. It hasn't worked quite yet, but who knows?
Binary Domain

BIG BO, WHY HAVEN'T I FOUND TIME FOR YOU!?
Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One

You know what PS+? I'm not going to feel that bad about skipping this one.
Asura's Wrath

I'm totally going to set aside a Saturday for this roller coaster. I just have to remember to.
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Now this one I don't feel bad about. I'm still waiting on Kingdoms Hearts 2.5 to come out. I'm not playing these games out of order.
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

It was a great Black Friday sale! 2 Black Fridays ago... I was trying to finish Dragon's Dogma and Kingdoms of Amalur before I got into yet another fantasy game. And then I never finished either of those games... Goddamn it.
Duke Nukem Forever

Still not sure I should be ashamed of this one. But I have to know... is it really THAT bad?
Condemned: Criminal Origins

I keep telling myself I'm just waiting for the right night to play it. Then when a good one comes along, I remember I'm a wuss about horror games. What was I thinking?
Condemned 2: Bloodshot

No really, what the hell was I thinking? Cheap or no, I have no idea.
Crysis 2

This one hurts because it's all my prides fault. I'm stuck getting my ass mollywhopped in one section of the first game, and refuse to turn down the difficulty. It doesn't help that I keep going away from it for a month and expecting to be good.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction

The demo was really cool.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

This one would bother me more if I liked Uncharted more, I just think it's alright. I'm almost done with 2 though, so maybe soon...
Metro 2033

I totally meant to play this. Instead I didn't and lent it to a friend so I could hear him talk about it and put it back on my shelf. Madness.
Metro: Last Light

Well I'm not going to play them out of order am I? What am I, an animal?
The Darkness II

I enjoyed the first one quite a bit, but for some reason I just haven't even considered playing this yet.
Dead Space 2

I know I said I'm a wuss about horror games, but somehow Dead Space gets a pass. I really want to replay the first one though before I try this one, since I want to remember what happened in it more clearly.
Bayonetta

Some days I look at Bayonetta and wonder. Then I replay Half-Life 2 or Bioshock.
F.E.A.R. 3

I haven't even played the other two, nor do I own them. Are they worth tracking down to add to this mess?
Mafia II

I love Thompsons, that should be reason enough to play it. Instead... Resident Evil 4 HD fills that fix over and over.
Quantum Conundrum

The real conundrum is why I haven't played it. Huh? Huh? Fine, it wasn't actually funny.
Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers

I don't even know what this game is! Thanks Humblebundle!
Killzone 3

See Killzone 2
Killzone 2

I'm going to work my way up to Shadow Fall eventually.
Mirror's Edge

I'm excited to find out if I'm one of the people who loves or hates this game. One day.
Intrusion 2

Humblebundle. Now that's how you add to your backlog without feeling shame.
Guitar Hero: Van Halen

You know, I think I'm pretty much over the plastic instruments phase for the most part. I think I'll be okay if I don't get around to dragging them out for this.
Singularity

I don't remember where or when I got this. Do I need help?
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

So I like rpgs and Studio Ghibli. So a friend got this for me while borrowing my PS3. So I haven't touched it.
Gravity Rush

It's the only game on my vita I haven't played, and it's supposed to be one of the best. I don't even know man...
Deponia

So, those Steam Sales huh? Great stuff. This looked like a neat adventure game. I'll find out if I'm right some day.
Max Payne 3

I haven't really played the first two, but that doesn't feel like a big barrier to this game. Going near the stack of shame to grab it is though.
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

That demo made me feel pretty good about this. That's all I got.
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

I friggin' love Playstation Plus.
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable

I heard you can play through the game as a lady in this version. Instant replayability, as soon as I play through the original.
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES

I actually bought it more for a friend to play as he borrowed my PS3, but I really should give it a go after how much I liked P4.
Charlie Murder

Games with Gold, I'm pretty happy about this to be honest. I just need to round up some mates to play it with.
Starseed Pilgrim

I don't know what this game is about, and the picture doesn't tell me anything. I'll take just about anything for charity though.
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams

This looked kinda cool on a HumbleBundle, so here it is. It still looks cool right?
Fez

I feel like I've missed the window to play this game in as meaningful a way as everyone did back when it came out.
Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians

I uh.... hmmm. Humble Bundle I think?
The Swapper

I just haven't been feeling very puzzle-y.
Broken Age

Steam Summer Sale. I feel alright waiting for the second act to come out before I load it up though.
Resident Evil: Revelations

This was only 12 bucks on an Xbox sale the other day, and everyone seems to love it. I bet I will.
The Witcher

2 bucks on steam. I hope it's pretty good, I've heard mixed things.
Dead Space 3

PS+ gave me this, but I kinda want to play it with a friend. All my friends are on Xbox. Conflicts abound.
Vessel

PS+, doing it's best to make me stare at games on my backlog and have no idea what they are.
Tales of Vesperia

I think this'll be my first Tales of game.
Warlock: Master of the Arcane

Free from the Humble Store.
The Secret of Monkey Island

Looks neat
Kentucky Route Zero

I'm beginning to think I shouldn't wait for all the episodes to come out.
Red Faction: Guerrilla

So, people tell me this is a better game than Armageddon. Armageddon is the only Red Faction I've played. So I bought this.
Resistance: Fall of Man

It was 3 bucks, and I own the second game. Might as well do it right?
Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Games with gold i think.
Murdered: Soul Suspect

I have to see this one in person
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

Looks cool.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Looks bananas
To the Moon

Pure steam sale whim

A friend really wants me to get addicted to this with him. I'm afraid.

Hack 'n' Slash

I really hope you don't actually need to understand programming to get through this.
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People

Yup, I still remember Homestarrunner.com fondly.
Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes

Sometimes i wonder if i like buying adventure games more than playing them
E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy

Friend recommended it, and it was a buck. Why not?
Amnesia: The Dark Descent

I'm a wuss
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

See above
Hitman: Blood Money

See above
Hitman: Contracts

The hitman trilogy hit PS+ awhile ago. I now have a lot of Hitman games.
Deadly Premonition

PS+ again. The question is whether to play it or watch the endurance run instead.
