"Wait, the game is already over?"

Someone once said that a good movie can never be too long, and a bad movie can never be too short. I think this holds true for games too; a lot of really good ones seem short because you don't want them to be over already.

That said, here are a few games I would really have liked to see some extra innings for:

Beyond Good and Evil Someone was totalling dungeons awhile back; this game has 3. That, plus the enormously endearing characters and terrific plot, make it a prime candidate. Too bad we'll never see a sequel :'(

Koudelka Not a great game, but one with potential. I hit the final boss after about 10 hours of gameplay, including level-up stops. This one probably holds a PS1 record for discs-to-playtime ratio.

Xenogears Disc 2 The beginning of the game was lovingly crafted and complex. Then, it's as if someone said "Oh shit! The game ships tomorrow and we're only half done!" The true inspiration for Xenosaga.

Monstania An obscure SNES strategy RPG that has a nice battle system and good characters. It can also be beaten in the time it takes to microwave a burrito.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
