99% of them at least. Of course, I play far fewer now then I used to due to time constraints, but the one's I do pick up, I make an honest effort to finish. I pretty much feel that if I'm forking over $40 to $60 bucks for something, I should at least try to get the most out of it! 
Problem today is I think I'm missing TONS of good games as I just don't buy them knowing I'll never have the time to play them. My dilemma right now is that I bought a Wii for Christmas along with Super Mario, Metroid Prime 3, and Zelda. How I'm actually going to play them all by the time the next big thing comes along is beyond me, LOL.
At least I've finished up all my existing 360 games, last one being Mass Effect which had ALL of my attention and time.

I'd like to, but I haven't in the past....
I'm trying to get through all of the Wii games I've got, currently although I'm not sure what "beating" Madden would entail...
I'm currently in the middle of Zack & Wiki, SMG, and Metroid Prime 3, fun debates most nights of which game to play, but I should be finishing Z&W within a month, I'm only a few hours from the end of Metroid, and SMG will take a bit more time but it's not a bad predicament to be in... I have plenty of PSone/PS2 games that I need to beat but just can't find the time. Most of them are the Square Final Fantasy anthology games which is held up mostly due to the lack of free time between work, and kids.
If I'm lucky I'll finish Z&W and Metroid before Smash Bros. comes out...

With xbox live I am always online. I usually never play single player but with live acting up lately I have attemted to play some more single player. I just can't get my self to play single player when I could be online playing against others and with my friends.
Most of the time. I usually try to do it with Co-Op. I usually always do it on the difficulty right below the hardest.
i generally try and beat most of my games, though looking back there are a bunch of ps2 i never got around to finishing. if i buy a game and it's just not that good i won't push through to finish it just to say i did. i also tend to play a lot of rpg's and some "sandbox" games, so with so much to do it's easy to put it down and play whatever you just bought.
Depends on if they hold my interest or not.
The last game I beat to the end was Crysis.
Man, that game kicked ass.

I'm really excited for Crysis though I've heard it's overrated and it's only a graphics fest and lacks on gameplay... though if it's anything like FarCry then I'm sure it'll be awesome.
This and Unreal Tournament III are going to be my next purchases.
i beat about 95% of games i play (meaning finish the main game). usually when i don't beat a game, it's because i'm renting it, or a level is so annoying or the gameplay is broken that i can't play it.
i would say i get 100% on games (or at least try to) about 50% of the time. it depends on the game.

Really? I thought it was a let down of Halo 3 proportions. Gameplay that hadn't evolved past Farcry days (which I liked but was expecting something much more), cinematic but ultimately dire singleplay. Some nice ideas on multiplayer though and personally I'd like CryTek to focus on a multiplayer game next.
Was pretty though. From start to finish.
I dunno about that.
I never played Halo 3. Well, I attempted to, but my brother had a used copy and it was one of the defective ones. Then he sold his 360.
And I only played half of Halo 2.
But I enjoyed the different ways you could go about doing things.
Though everyones opinion does differ, hm?
