#1 - Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (Gamecube)
Man, what a flawed game. I love the graphical style and animation, I love the music, and the game starts off pretty strong, but the senseless padding of the game towards the end totally kills the flow. I'd already sailed the entire ocean and mapped every square, but then I had to go back and find all of the triforce maps which I then had to get decyphered and then I had to find the triforce pieces...ugh. I had been warned about it, but I figured it wouldn't be so bad since I'd already charted everything...I was wrong.
Also, right before you do that, there's a two temples in a row where you have to play through with an NPC, picking them up, switching to them, etc for the whole damn dungeon. Normally it'd be a bit annoying always having to babysit them, but in Wind Waker it was especially bad because everytime you wanted to control them, you had to conduct a little song. That shit got real old, real fast.
Finally, the Z-targeting (or L-targeting, I guess) is a bit better than it was in Ocarina, but against that sand worm boss guy it was ineffective as hell because at times it would target him without a problem and at other times it'd take a few minutes to FINALLY get it to target him instead of his spawn. Good lord was that tedious.
So I guess the game is kind of the opposite of Ocarina. Instead of starting off bad and getting really good, it starts of really good and fizzles.
Halo 2
Technically it was a resolution for me to beat it in 06...but I procrastinated.
so on the last day of 06 I decided to marathon it.
With the xbox that had my save at the office I had to start from the beginning. So I'm at the fight with Tartarus and my brother walks in and says "Happy New Year".
I'm like...What!?!
so when Tartarus finally bites it...my clock says 12:05am.
That's how it became the first game I beat in 06.
in hindsight...I shouldn't have took that nap (which ended up being 4 hours), and ate my food at a table like a normal human being.
I have a strong aim at beating games I own and nearly stop at buying video games. With that said I'm hoping to be posting quite often in here, and often with all the stuff I've got.
Some games I beat in '06:
Baku Baku (Saturn) - Easy and Normal
Castlevania: DoS (NDS) - Completed game, have do beat modes now
D (Saturn) - Did ending #2
Neo Contra (PS2) - Didn't unlock everything yet
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (Saturn) - Unlocked everything
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare (NDS) - Easy & Normal
And I believe that's it... See, I have a lot to beat this year around.

After having it for two-and-a-half years now, I finally beat Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox.
And after finally beating it, I can now safely say that Ninja Gaiden was my absolute favorite game from this past generation.
Now, all I can do is sit, and pray for a sequel. Not another remake...

Fun quick little game and despite the fact it was kinda too mushy wushy at times it had a decent battle system.

I beat Final Fantasy 12 on new years eve...that probably doesnt count
Vice: Project Doom for the NES.
At first I was put off by how much of a rip-off it is of Ninja Gaiden, but despite being inferior in many ways, it has some things to recommend it. Still, I'm undecided as to whether I think it's good or just above average.
Kirby's Canvas Curse. Just beat it with kirby, going through it again with Waddle Dee. Percentage wise, I'm just above 50%
I beat Gears of War for the 360 Boy that last boss in a pain
I completed The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess yesterday.
Also working on finishing Iron Tank for the NES. Tough game.
Xbox 360:
Tony Hawk's Project 8

How long did it take you to beat/ how does it compare, length-wise, to the first game? I recall the first game took me about 25 hours to beat, and while it wasn't that long compared to a lot of other RPGs, I thought the pace and length was just around right. I'm really glad they didn't pad it out with a ton of senseless fluff.
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. I beat he New Super Mario Bro's on Christmas Day as well. I know that was last year, but the fact that I beat two games within 2 weeks was cool, as I hadn't beaten (or really played any games) for a LONG time.
I just beat Contact for the DS. Intriguing story and awesome localization, with mediocre gameplay.
