Since this is a fairly good idea, I thought we might as well have one here.

Simply put, the Pile 'o Shame is a list of games that, for some reason, have slipped by you, and you really mean to go back and play, but have never gotten there.  It's those games that always elude play, and you're shamed to call yourself a gamer, because you haven't played them.  I'll go over my list, and then I have an idea I'd like to share with all those willing.

  • Crono Trigger
  • Zack and Wiki
  • Half Life 2  (although I'm playing through it right now)
  • Final Fantasy XII
  • Beyond Good and Evil  (own it, haven't beaten it)
  • Jet Grind Radio  (haven't beaten JSRF)
  • Viewtiful Joe
  • God of War
  • Dead Rising
  • Link to the Past
  • Electroplankton
  • Okami
  • Shadow of the Collossus

I'm sure there's quite a few more, but that's the jist of my shame.  Honestly, I hope I can get around to a couple soon.  Crono Trigger is mine just as soon as it comes out on VC, but the rest seem to elude me at every turn.

So here's my suggestion.  GIve me your lists.  Anything and everything.  And once per month, we can try to decide on a game, rent it, buy it, find it, and play it.  Erase it off of our pile, and breathe easier, knowing that we're better gamers as a result.
Let's list out some stuff, and we can see what jives, as it's only a work in progress.

Well, up until the other day I hadn't gotten around to beating Majora's Mask, but, I finally took care of that.

That out of the way, I've never been the sort of person who "buys games just to have them and then let them sit there," but, there are still a number of games that I have, which I never seem to give the time that they deserve.

I was working on fixing Soul Blazer recently, got about half-way through it, but then got side-tracked by other stuff. I really should get back to that.
Illusion of Gaia is another game that I have which I haven't put much time into which I keep saying that I should, but then I never seem to.
Breath of Fire, I have both 1 and 2 for SNES, and 1 for GBA. I had wanted to beat 1 before playing 2, and got right up to the end of 1 for GBA, but apparently I had missed some stuff that I needed to go back and do, and just never got around to doing it. So, that means that I still haven't beat that, and that in turn means I still haven't really given 2 much time. I'm sure I could just go ahead and play it without worrying about 1, but, just haven't.
There are probably a pile more, those are just the first few that come to mind.

As far as Chrono Trigger, I doubt it, or any other Square or Enix game, is going to see the Virtual Console, at least any time for the foreseeable future. They're making far more money porting them to and remaking them for GBA and DS (like FFIV, which got a GBA port, and is now in the process of getting a DS remake. Why do just one when they can do both?). Chrono Trigger, of course, hasn't seen either of those yet. At this point I haven't heard of any plans to do anything with it for GBA or DS either (I wish they would, so that I could have it in portable form), but, as I said, I wouldn't count on seeing any of their games (at least their more notable RPG ones. Maybe some stuff like Rad Racer and 3D Worldrunner and such. Maybe some of the other stuff once they've beat them into the ground and wrung them dry) on the Virtual Console anytime soon, if at all.
So, if you're waiting to play Chrono Trigger for that, it's going to be a long (and possibly never-ending) wait. It's a spectacular game, and definitely not something to miss, so, I'd definitely recommend going out and getting it for SNES. It's expensive (although not nearly as much as it used to be. Used to be up in the $60-70 range a few years back, it's down closer to $30-40 these days), but, it's well worth it. Still, obviously, that's your choice. Just figured I'd add my two cents to it.

 My list unfortunately looks much like yours:
 -Half Life 2 ( I too am currently playing through it. What part are you at?)
 -Viewtiful Joe
 -God of War ( I tried to play it but for some reason my PS2 would not play this game. I tried with three different copies.)
 -Dead Rising
 -Shadow of the Collossus
 -Every FF from VII up excluding Crystal Chronicles
 -Resident Evils 1-3

I still haven't finished Super Mario World. I've never finished Super Mario Sunshine either. Uhmm.... I'm not sure what else I'm missing. I obviously don't care too much about it if I never finished it, so it's hard to remember! LOL

But... but... there's so many!



  • The only Final Fantasy games I've finished are IX, X and X-2. I played a bit of VII, but it was scratched. It seemed like a good game. I'd want to try the other ones too...
  • I've never played a Castlevania game
  • I've never played a Devil May Cry game
  • I've never played a 2D Metroid game
  • I got to the second half of Link to the Past, but I'd want to finish it eventually. I don't have a copy, though. (Nor a PC controller... >.> )
  • Never played Chrono Trigger
  • Only played a tiny part of Chrono Cross
  • Never played Earthbound
  • Never played a Katamari Damacy game
  • Twilight Princess D: (Yeah, I know, some people seem to have been disappointed by it, so I shouldn't expect too much of it. But still... I have to try it someday. :O)
  • Never played either Half-Lives
  • Never really got to play a Sonic the Hedgehog game. I mean the Genesis ones. I played a bit of all three, but never really got to.
  • Jak games. I almost got to the end of the third one, but never touched the first two.
