I really enjoyed Spore, I'd like to play that again on my new system with all the graphics turned up... But I can't, because EA is a company staffed entirely by morons and assholes, and they think I'm only entitled to 3 installs of the game I paid 60 dollars for on launch day. Guess who won't be paying them any more money for DLC, Expansions, or sequels?
I also really want to play Tie Fighter, but last time I tried to install it, it said it needed DirectX 6 and I couldn't get it to realize that I have a DirectX 11 compatible machine with DX 11 installed already. So for now, no X-Wing or Tie Fighter or XvT: Flight School for me. I'll work it out eventually.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I have it, and I'm about half way through, but it's so damn scary it's always a battle to actually click that little "play" button.
Like right now, I really want to play it... but I can't... You know what i mean?
Also, this. Amnesia, and the Penumbra series before it, are the perfect kind of scary game. I'm terrified of the monsters, it's either difficult or impossible to fight back, and both games have audio tricks everywhere so I'm constantly in a state of tension. I'm ready to piss my pants at the slightest provocation, I'm prepared to sprint at the end of every puzzle or "Find the Thing" section, and half the time I can't tell if an enemy is near or if it's just the background sounds.
Oh and in both Amnesia and Machinarium, I've made tons of progress that I now have to re-do. That's probably one of the biggest barriers ever. In Amnesia, it's because I'm using my new supercomputer instead of my laptop, and in Machinarium it's because my computer did an update/restart without prompting me or giving me a chance to save. I was at the very end of Machinarium, too. Now I'm on the third goddamn screen.
Last but not least, I bought Rock of Ages yesterday on Steam, not realizing the damn thing wasn't technically released yet. It didn't tell me until I tried to download it and it was listed in my library as a preorder. Apparently I have to wait until the 31st, FML.
