Mirror's Edge - I just found it boring and really repetitive.

Lost Odyssey - That game's just too goddamn hard, and so far I've had no motivation to carry on with the game (the storyline hasn't really kicked in at all yet), so I've given up.
Those depressing-ass dreams you find in places will probably lure me back in someday, though.

Kingdom Under Fire: Circles of Doom - Anyone who's played the game will know why. It's awful. Literally the entirety of the game is made up of button-mashing, there's no storyline, etc etc.

Red Dead Redemption - I personally don't see what the hype's about. It's been boring and stressful for me so far.

Dead Rising 1 & 2 - The demo of DR1 was fun, but the full game just pressures you with constant time limits, and it feels much harder. I want to run around the mall with my makeshift weapons, but I have crushing time limits stopping me. DR2's even worse, having to get Zombrex every single day, which I can't find anywhere.

Velvet Assassin - I usually love stealth games, but I hate Velvet Assassin. All you do is walk around and hit people in the back with a knife occasionally. And get shot. A lot.

F.E.A.R. - Another game I don't understand the popularity of. It's not a 'bad' game, but it's not great, and I can't really play it for hours on end like I can with most games. Not because it's scary. I didn't find it scary at all.

Crackdown - Another one. The game doesn't really feel that good to me. I can play Keys to the City for an hour or two, but then the atmosphere of the game makes me lose the will to carry on playing.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent - Purely out of fear. I will complete it someday though, it's too good to waste.

There are more, but I'm tired.

Just recently, Tony Hawk American Wasteland, couldn't get passed a section where you had to manual passed a bunch of flags. Spent two hours and rage quit.

Assassin's Creed, couldn't get passed the Tutorial.

Brutal Legend, I just got bored with it.

Star Fox 64, I realized you can't save, so I'm done.

Shenmue, I'm almost done with the second disc, but see Brutal Legend.

I don't finish a lot of games and it really annoys me sometimes.

Fallout 3
STALKER
Half-Life
Bioshock

all because they're boring/drawn-out, except for Bioshock which is just a little too slow for me.

SW: The Force Unleashed
The Star Destroyer part........Why the fuck did that make it into the game? Ignoring the lolore of some Mary Sue pulling it out of space, the controls for pulling it down are shit. And every 30 seconds the fucking tie fighters come back and ruin any progress you've made. I quit after the 12th try, it just wasn't fun any more at that point. Did they test that at all before release?

FF13
Snow sucks, Lightning sucks, Hope is goddamn annoying, Sazh is cool, the rest of the characters didn't register with me enough to care and I didn't care about the story.

Super Mario Sunshine. Just got too hard and I couldn't quite get the controls down to an art form.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. RPGs just aren't really my thing, and it keeps crashing every time a cutscene plays.

The Empire Strikes Back (GB) Got WAAAAAAAY too boring and hard. Never made it past Hoth. I think I made it to the Snowspeeder section once...

Metroid: Other M. HATED that game! hated Samus' monologues, and it was overdue from Blockbuster

Dead space, Dead Space 2, Fallout 3, Red Dead Redemption, COD Black Ops, Oblivion, Crysis, AvP, Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and the list goes on...

I Honestly can't explain why I never finish most games...sometimes I get bored, a bug/glitch makes me have to start over or a new game that really interests me is released and I forget about the others...and when I come back to them I can't remember the story and don't want to spend another 10 hours or more to get back to where I was.

Fallout: New Vegas, It's not like I'm not planning to finish it, but I don't play it that much and every time I do want to play it. I see like 10 new cool mods that I want to try out or restart to play certain segments with said mods.

White Knight Chronicles

Either NO ONE has it or they all completed it easy, cuz I don't think I see it on anyone's list. I don't even think I made it halfway through the game before I got bored and quit. Which kind of makes me sad, it was developed by Level 5, and I really liked their Dark Cloud series. :(

I've never finished a single Zelda game despite having played many over the years. It just becomes repetitive to me and I could never bring myself to finish.

Fallout 3 I didn't care for, I didn't enjoy the gameplay especially the VATS system.

And finally... the new Golden Sun for DS. I couldn't stand what it did to the franchise. It just wasn't handled well as a sequel to the originals.

There are a few more but these are the most significant besides saying most generic puzzle games.

Plenty. I've definitely finished way more than I haven't finished. Usually it's either because I get bored, I dislike the game too much to continue, or life gets in the way to the point where suddenly it's six months since I've played the game and I no longer remember what's going on but I can't be bothered to start from the beginning.

Games that currently come to mind:

FFXIII. I tried. I really tried. But I can't. I just can't. I don't have the patience for this damn game, these awful characters, or Vanille's torturous voice anymore.

Fallout: New Vegas. I intend to complete this, but university got in the way. When the holidays come around, I'll pick up where I left off.

FFVIII. Okay, I'm damn sure I saw my cousin finish this. Since he was at boarding school, I would always let him play games when he came over on the weekend. But, I honestly just have no tolerance for this game. I cannot tolerate the characters who constantly resort to making inhumanly stupid decisions, the inane story and its utter inability to keep a consistent tone, and the junctioning system that is so easy to exploit that it makes the game a damn cakewalk. I get why people like it, but I just can't with this game.

Ninety Nine Nights. This game is one I would nominate for my least favourite game ever. There are other games that are worse, but I don't think I have ever hated a game as much as this one. I tried to play it again to give it a fair go, since I wondered if maybe it wasn't as bad as I remembered, but I didn't even manage to get past the first character you play as. Obnoxious characters. Obnoxious game.

Dragon Age 2. University interrupted my playing. I intend to finish, but I just haven't had the time to devote to it, or there have just been other things that I've been more eager to play in my free time, like Oddworld.

Turok: Evolution - Xbox

I'm not sure if it's because I was too young or not, but that game was so incredibly hard and I couldn't do it without cheat codes.

Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior. Just...sadface. :C

Gears of War - PC. Got bored.

Bulletstorm - PC. Got bored.

Dawn of War 2 - I made it pretty close to the end, but I lost all my saves since I forgot to back them up due to a format. I did not want to go through all of the campaign a second time.

Portal - Nausea.
