Ever get excited about a game, buy it, and then never get a chance to play it? I have a couple like that right now on my shelf.

One is Dominions 3, a wickedly in-depth fantasy battle game. In my defense on this one, the learning curve is Everest-steep. The thought of spending 4 or 5 hours just learning how to play keeps deterring me.

I have no excuse for the other one since the learning curve is as steep as the ramp outside a senior home: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. My lame excuse is I'm 90% done the first one and wanted to finish that first. That's really lame because the first Uncharted was so brief it should only take me about 5 minutes.

Anybody else have that game they bought and been meaing to play, but it just hasn't happened yet? Do you have better excuses that me?

I got Scribblenauts and Pokemon Diamond, and haven't hardly cracked into them. The DS has just lost its appeal, for now...
