Too many to count.
I guess most recently, Lords of Shadow.
For some reason, I really like that feeling of still having tons of content left. When a game definitively tells me that "This is it, okay. The LAST dungeon", barring the story/gameplay/etc being awesomely enjoyable, I tend to put the game down. Strange...

My most recent would be Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Im a sonic fan, but i kinda forgot i had it :/ i got it for half-price on the PS Store and haven't played much of it.
After the joy of fallout 3, playing new vegas, makes me cold.
I don't think i've looked forward to a game so much, and after fighting the good fight and feeling smug about my make believe good karma (even if i was commiting mass genocide on ghouls, raiders and super mutants) and my wonderfully ethical deeds i was engulfed into a world of be the best gambler, thats it, just become the king of vegas, through one way or another, whilst playing cards.
I may play it at a later point, but even a psn outage hasn't tempted me yet.
Lost Planet 2; I'd heard good things about this, unfortunatly these 'things' were said by the criminally insane, which incidentally is what LP2 is!

Bioshock 2: Got Bored.
Fallout 3: Never cared much for the Story anyways, got bored.
Darksiders: Felt too slow paced for me, got bored.
Vanquish: ....eh.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit: Played it a LOT until it started to feel repetitive. I rarely "finish" racing games anyways.
Just Cause 2: Got Bored.
Crysis 1: Never found it to be THAT good, although it was fun at times. Might finish it one day.
Penumbra: Too f***ing creepy
Prince of Persia - The Two Thrones: Never could get past these two bosses that attack you at the same time. Bought it again recently in a steam sale, so i MAY finish it someday.
Dragon Age Origins: Remembered that i suck at RPGs, got bored from dying a lot.
Baldurs Gate 2: Remembered that i suck at RPGs, got bored from dying a lot.
Gothic 2: Remembered that i suck at RPGs, got bored from dying a lot.
STALKER: Got distracted by newer, shinier and more accessible games, never returned.
The "Assault on Dark Athena" Part of Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena: Played through the entirety of "Escape from Butcher Bay" and half finished the new episode/sequel until i got bored from the gameplay in general. I guess it did not help that Butcher Bay is clearly better than Dark Athena.
Deus Ex 2: Found the Level-Design to be appaling and was generally disappointed by it.
Trials HD: Too Hard
Super Meat Boy: Take a guess

Now that you mention it there are a ton of games I've never finished. The problem is that when I stop enjoying a game I stop playing and there are a lot of good games that just can't hold my interest for long enough. And there is also a constant slew of new games I want to get (Still haven't got portal 2 and crysis 2 cos I already have a bunch of stuff to finish). That's not a complaint but it is a little iritating.
And I haven't ever beaten ocarina of time either, mainly because I get to a dificult or annoying bit in the game (Read: Water Temple) and decide to stop playing for a while. I then come back to it later and have forgotten what I was doing so I start a new game. And the cycle continues.

Bioshock, because the end was so utterly predictable that I couldn't be arsed wasting another 30 min killing the same enemies I'd killed the past four hours.
I have quite a few, but considering I've only had my xbox since June most of the games I haven't finished are just games I've moved into a "Standby" mode because other games came into the picture.
Some games, though, are Dragon Age, Ace Combat 6, Ninety- Nine Nights, Halo: ODST, and maybe one or two more.

Guess I'll never finish GTA4 and Okami. It's a shame, Okami's art style and gameplay barely let me stop playing, but it's just so epic! And long!
As for GTA4: I suck at driving in games. Shouldn't be surprising why I'm demotivated everytime I try playing this one (got to chapter 4 somehow, though).

Thank you! This game has serious pacing issues. Doesn't help that there´s little to nothing interesting to do between the horrible main story's quests.Defense said:
I have a few I've yet to start but one that is sitting on my shelf that I can't bring myself to finish is Shadow of the Colossus. I really really want to like it but it is overly barren, does not run smoothly and controls only slightly better than a Rockstar game. I'm sure I'll get to finishing it eventually but right now I'd rather spend my limited time playing something that doesn't feel like a chore.
There's quite a number of games I haven't finished. Normally i get near the end, get caught up with side quests or something, and then get bored. Ones I can think of off the top of my head...
Oblivion - admittedly because of the mechanics more than anything
The Witcher - got bored, basically. mainly with the combat system, which I didn't particularly like.
FFVII: Crisis Core - typical 'got bored while grinding for sidequest' here.
FFX - I did defeat penance, so I'm sure I'm more than capable of taking out the final boss, I just have absolutely no desire to anymore. That Penance run made me so bored of the mechanics I'm not sure I'll ever touch the game again...
FFXII - I got bored grinding for items to get the best weapons. That, and I'd lost patience with the battle system.
Disgaea: Hour of Darkness - the result of having a 30-40 strong party, and wanting to get all of them to the same level to complete the game. I just got bored with all the grinding. I did get to the final chapter though...
I'm sure there's others, I just can't think what they are...
