How many games have you bought and never played?

[Mega]

A discussion in the Civilisation thread made me realise I do have several games that I've either never installed and in some cases, never removed the shrink wrap.

Here are some that are still on my shelf:

Alpha Centuri
X2-The Threat
Neverwinter Nights
Icewind Dale

I've never bought a game and not played it.

I have a couple of games my mum bought me for Christmas a couple of years ago that I played once and they have never seen the light of day since, but if I have a game I will give it the courtesy of a least one go

Same with me. I have played everything that I have bought... some more then others of course.

Reason I ask this is because I saw it asked on another forum, and quite a few posters raised their hands.

The games I listed I bought around the time I first discovered MMORPG's which was mid 2004, and I dont think I've actually purchased a single player game since that time (borrowed a few from friends)

I supppose games you bought, installed and quickly uninstalled fit here too. Feel free to list your unpopular games.

why would you buy something and then not play it? if people do that then IMO they have more dollars than sense...

Personally, i don't buy games until I've "had a look at them" first.

Newer hapend, before i buy i do alot search on the product like the video footage.
But i admit ther is games that i stoped after 1h/2h.

For the PS2 i bought Madden 07 and never played it. Also for the PS2 I bought Ico and only have spent about 10 minutes in game.

Only 2 that I can think of: A Bard's Tale and Stronghold 2.

I discovered Guild Wars and EU and kinda lost interest in single-player games

Over the years it is probably about 10 games. But none of them have I paid full price for, only on sale.
