IronStar: Just finished Bastion. It felt really good. Story is quite nice, and the constant talk from narrator was just great IMO. Gameplay, on the other hand is quite linear, and there is only one monster that will give you major headaches.
Ah yeah, that was a great game. The game is fairly easy (though a lot of fun), but that's what the shrine is for. Activate a couple of statues and it can become murderous quickly.

-Arcanum: Fantastic game. Definitely one of my top 3 or so games.
-The Longest Journey: Fantastic game. Definitely one of my top 3 or so games. :) As I said in another thread, this was one of the few games where I really didn't want to finish it because of how attached I'd got to the characters.
Already finished:
http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/games_finished_in_2012_1/post566

Bit longer since my last updated. We got a wee baby girl since my last post. Almost 3 weeks overdue. Healthy 3.7kg. Naturally time has gone into something bit more important than gaming.
Anyway, have managed to finish few games still:

The Blackwell Legacy, Blackwell Unbound, Blackwell Convergence
Really enjoyed these. Story is really well written, well maybe not the third one. Voice acting slighlty dodgy, but great music and interesting setting and characters. Really need to get that 4th bought soon.

Saints Row: The Third
Only longer game on the list here. And I've done pretty much everything I could with the game. 100% missions/challenges, even the 3 DLC missions. All the praise from Gersmann is accurate. You should play SR3. Only complaint I would have is that the radio channels didn't have enough songs. Ended up only listening to the metal and the 80;s channels.

Duskforce
Technically I suppose I haven't finished this because I haven't gotten the SS cheevo. And never will either. Have completed majority of the levels and that is enough. This is not worth for more of my time. The comparisons to Super Meat Boy -> art-style, music and the gameplay are very shallow. This game, if you can even call a game is nothing like SMB. I have no problems with difficult games, heck I enjoy the challenge most times. Just not with this half-baked time trial effort. Don't want to complain more about this since it doesn't really deserve more words. Dissapointment.

Puzzle Bots
Another Wadeye AGS game that I had on my Steam collection already. Bit lighter theme and more puzzle oriented. Somewhat easy, except for the CCTV puzzle with the bird. Nice and short little (albeit cheesy) story.

Noitu Love 2
Not my genre of games, but short enough of for me to be able to enjoy. Done on Normal. Quite cool music. And very art-style ofc.

Finished Airport Mania 2 on my android smartphone.

Yeah, I know... again ! I already finished it once last year. But that's simply the kind of game you can play and replay forever, it never gets old!!

My list so far in 2012 : http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/games_finished_in_2012_1/post15

fr33kSh0w2012: And what Difficulty setting did you have duke nukem forever at I had to have it at DAMN I'M GOOD to get any real challenge out of it it was TOO EASY on anything under that!
Yeah! I played it at DAMN I'M GOOD with only using MIGHTY FOOT as a weapon!

/e: Just kidding, I played it at LET'S ROCK difficulty (but with very low FPS) - I'm casual, not hardcore gamer ;)

Vitek: Yesterday I finished Mysteries of Sith.
Is it the Jedi Knight 2 expansion?

Nergal01: Shogo - Mobile Armor Division

First time I played it in more than a decade. Oh boy, this game has not aged well in terms of level design and story telling
How can a game age in terms of level design and storytelling? I understand graphics and interface, but this?

It just has a poor story not "aged storytelling". And i thought level design was ok the last time I played (2011?).

CaveSoundMaster: How can a game age in terms of level design and storytelling? I understand graphics and interface, but this?

This comes purely from my personal perception. Let me clarify.

What I'm saying, I guess, is: the last time I played this it simply didn't occur to me how basic yet flawed the storytelling in Shogo is, because I had no frame of reference back in the day. Playing it again after al those years, I got the feeling that there was the potential here to do a lot more with the scenario and the characters. It feels like the game had a lot of potential for drama, but the people designing Shogo simply were too inexperienced, so the drama aspects falls flat and the tone for the game is wildly inconsistent.

The "aging" part is connected to how my expectations have changed. All the criticisms I listed are an expression of my perceptions of what a game can be, formed by my experience over the past 15 years or so. Back when I first played Shogo, I didn't have such expectations. I was basically grateful for any kind of story in a shooter, now matter how bad it actually was. In the mean time. however, I have seen what games can do in terms of world building and story telling. Shogo does not hold up for me in that regard. And that is why I say it didn't "age well".

As for the level design...well, basic progression through the levels is ok, but most of them feel incredibly empty and barren. Again, there was potential there to flesh out the scenario, but the game environment is too basic and simply too uninteresting to be memorable. Back in the day, it didn't bother me so much. It does now, though.
The only game that I've "finished" this year is Diablo 3, but only the story. I got bored of the grind already in Hell difficulty.
The Blackwell Legacy:
This is the second Wadjet Eye game I've played and I liked it more than The Shivah. The graphics are more detailed and it is a little longer as well. I thought the voice acting was ok and the puzzles weren't too difficult. I'm looking forward to playing the rest of the games.

CaveSoundMaster: Is it the Jedi Knight 2 expansion?
Well, actually it's expansion to Jedi Knight 1, Dark Forces II, the game I mentioned in that post too. :-)
Dark Forces 1 isn't Jedi Knight game. ;-) But it is standalone and can be played without Jedi Knight game.

I could never understand the numbering of this games. But i know what you're talking about, I finished them (i didn't finish Dark Forces I though, got only to the winter stages). I do think the first stages of Mysteries of the Sith were awesome though.

Nergal01: ...
I think the faults of the game were already pointed out by the reviewers of the time. It never got much more score than 7/10 as far as I can recall. I also had more positive feelings about it back then, but it's mostly becouse I was very young when I was playing it. I think the developers were capable of making something better: look at Metal Gear Solid (not fps, but still an action game from the time).

I still think some levels were quite nice. Especially in the beginning. I was playing (the last time) on the hardest difficulty though, there were gazillions of enemies capable of almost one-hit kill, so maybe the areas felt less "barren" then. It got boring near the end though, I haven't finished it.

Escape Goat:
I've finished the Prison of Agnus levels so I'm counting it as beaten. You unlock a new world after finishing the game but it may be too difficult for me. I had fun with the puzzles, some were easy, some required thinking, others required timing, and with a few I got lucky.
