The Games List

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?
