I've noticed in the recent Hitman thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/118121-Hitman-Absolution-Dev-Says-Most-Players-Wont-Finish-the-Game] a lot of people seem surprised that people would buy a game and not play it through to completion, unless that game was bad.
In my (very brief) search to find statistics about completed video games, I stumbled across this article [http://articles.cnn.com/2011-08-17/tech/finishing.videogames.snow_1_red-dead-redemption-entertainment-software-association-avid-gamers?_s=PM:TECH] from last year, which states that only 10% of players will actually finish a game they start, regardless of the quality of the game.
It just got me wondering, what games (if any) do you currently have lying around that you never finished, and why?
-EDIT- When I say complete, I'm referring to finishing the main story campaign and seeing the credits roll.
However, if you want to use a different yardstick, like hitting 100% in GTA for example, then go ahead.
