Here is an image of the controller(which is bigger than my house , well ps3 anyway)

Sounds like the same reason i don't play my DDR games. My room has very little floorspace so I have to disassemble my console, take it to the living room, set everything up, and then hope no one sees me flailing around to music. Opportunities are low and setup time is a factor.

Well it doesn't take too long to set up as the pad is in 3 section that just need to be connected by the attached ribbon cables, but as I said the controller is massive. The box in that photo is about 0.4m(H) x 0.4m(W) x 0.5m(L)
heres a shot for scale, the tv is a 21 inch

I remember seeing a demo of that on Cinematech. I wanted it so bad after that, but I never had the money.

As for Tomba, I had a demo for it, and it was hella good.

Trust me, I'm well aware of the size. A friend of mine got the game and we spent most of the night driving that thing.

Yeah I got lucky getting it myself, there are only about 100 copies in the country and cost €200, a sum of money that i was completely unable to afford at the time. Lucky for me that Virgin got a copy in and had it mispriced at €100.

Locust its good to see another person who has witnessed its awesomeness. Pity the online version, Line of Sight, didn't last very long.

Steel Battalion looks awesome. I just want to play it once in my life time

Aside from that. I don't buy games that i'm not going to play. So this topic doesn't apply to me at all

I just thought of one I own but haven't played:

Murakumo.

Not the best game ever, but it has heart. I've played maybe three missions out of something around twenty, but I haven't played in a long time.

Christmas Sales are my enemy: I Have Burnout 3, Killer 7, Splinter Cell Pandora Tom.,Forza motorsport, GT 3 & 4, I've had Silent HIll 3 and stopped playing on the last board, Transformers, I've been trying to get into Okami since christmas. And I've had King Kong and Elder Scrolls Oblivian for a month now and I still haven't played them yet.

That's kind of the beauty (and curse) of a lot games of the last decade. I just takes a long while to beat them, but in the meantime you're still buying games.

I finally got around to playing Suikoden III (PS2). I've sunk 102 hours into it, and (without reading any FAQs or Strategy guides) I estimate I'm finished between 1/2 to 2/3 of the game.

Back in the NES days, you could finish most games in one sitting.

Back then, you had to. Most games didn't have saves back then so most of the early games couldn't last more than 2 hours.
