12 Amazing Games We Never Quite Finished

9. Bully (Canis Canem Edit)

Gammon: Bully had all the humour, wackiness and violence (if a bit toned down) of any Grand Theft Auto but placed it in the surroundings of a uptight private boarding school. The story takes the protagonist Jimmy through lots of hurdles as he single-handedly takes on every group of students at his school in order to get through his days in peace. Unlike most Rockstar titles, however, there is little wrong with Jimmy — he might not get the good grades and mucks around a bit but he also stands up for the people who can’t defend themselves and ends up taking on the most manipulative kid of all.

However, I have never seen Jimmy’s adventure to its end. I alway end at the same point, when the game opens up to the wider town. You realise that there is so much more to this game and you can go beyond the gates of your school and explore the wider location to your heart’s content. But with this comes a lot of travelling. At one point or another I get bored of commuting to and from school, probably because I was doing the same thing when this game was released. I don’t want to be reminded of how I was stuffed like a sardine into someone’s armpit on a London bus.

10. Resident Evil 0

Becca: Resident Evil 0 is a game that details the early hours before the setting of the main game. You play as Rebecca Chambers before she ends up in the hellhole that is the Spencer Mansion. Like the original this game utilises the horror of a fixed angle perspective and goes back to basics when it comes to survival horror. It also implements a switch system that allows you to switch between Rebecca and the escaped convict that you meet along the way, this offers new puzzles to be played out in this familiar setting.

Safe to say this is an intriguing title that details the demise of the Alpha team before Jill, Chris, Barry and Wesker arrive onto the scene in the original Resident Evil. The only problem with Resident Evil 0 was that it was released on GameCube, a console that Gammon didn’t own and only got to play when he was with his cousins. Now it’s on the PlayStation Store in remastered glory it is time for him to go back to Raccoon City.

I (Becca), on the other hand, own a GameCube and have played countless hours of this brilliant title and still haven’t finished it. The first portion of the game takes place on a train and it’s pretty easy and quick to complete. Unfortunately after that, the game gets exponentially more difficult. The enemies are harder, resources more scarce, and puzzles much more intricate, so much so that I was always at my wits ends around four or five hours in. I never managed to make it all the way through because of its intense difficulty towards the end.
