Sniper: Ghost Warrior
Tiny, linear levels in a game that implies it's about sniping.

Funny, how some of my favorite games are on others shame lists, like Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes, Borderlands and the X-Series  :D

My hidden list (which I found out about from this thread, a big THANK YOU to the OP) contains (next to betas, Mac versions etc)

- Heli Heroes (Awful top-down shooter, bad controls, terrible graphic, boring gameplay), and
- Woodcutter Simulator 2013 (Are you kidding me? You fell a tree by going up to a predefined one and hitting a button. The chainsaw then does a small automatic animation, and that's it. By the way, the fastest way to get around is not using a car, but on foot ... by strafing (judging from the speed gauge on the truck, about 100km/h).

Haven't completely culled my list of games yet, but one that immediately went in was a multiplayer mod for Half-Life called Ricochet. A tron lightdisc kind of dueling game. No players playing anymore, sub-par performance and atmosphere and etc. Simply put, even I feel cheated out by it, and it's beyond redemption.

To prevent my curiosity as to what it was about, I hid it; since I already know what it was about. Potential fun, denied. Before hiding was possible, I had a category called 'Extra-Meh', a polar opposite of 'Extreme(ly fun)' or 'Interested'.

In a sense, this is my benchmark of where to draw the line on games I have. If it was as fun as this game was, then it's hidden. Only fun games (even when dying constantly) stay in my collection. Everything else; I didn't enjoy, or felt like I wasted time I could have wasted on something else.

EDIT:
Multi-categorizing is also a rather nice feature to have too, since I can now track my progress on games I've played, and can update accordingly, while also having genre separations (and personal ratings too, if need be) and the favorites having it's list still intact without causing the other categories problems. Why this hasn't been taken care of until now, is beyond me.
