Still have a few to finish from last year, bought a few second hand at great prices and they are still waiting to be finished. This year I only bought 2 games at retail.

Halo wars and Sacred2 , and still need to finish both, have progressed a lot on them, problem is the damn xbla.

Every second week a good game that need to be bought, and they are more impulse buys as well. See if there is microsoft points on my account and a good game get along, then i buy because the points are there, 2 weeks down the line points are gone but then a trails, or shadow complex hits, so of to buy points again (4200)
and the next cycle return, sitting with over 70 xbla games that way.

I’m afraid that I’m in exactly the same situation, I’ve got about 50 Xbox360 games of which I have only finished about 30 of them… most of them are good games. Problem is, the ones I’ve already finished are better/more fun so I have finished most of them 2 or more times (GTAIV comes to mind.
And now I’m not even speaking of PC games, i’ve got a backlog of hundreds of games to finish :cwy:

I had a similair evaluation of myself recently and I was determined to finish my myriad of titles bursting out of my cupboard. And I’ve managed to do well, but then I pick up an old game I remember playing put it in and then realise why I stopped playing it, I’ve got a new rule now if i’m not enjoying it and i’m getting more frustrated with each level then it’s going back into the drawer and labelled ‘do not play’ having a PS3 as well I’ve been playing a lot of the exclusives, and I’m almost finished inFAMOUS which I’m really enjoying and then it’s off to ratchet and clank.

Been playing a few GOW games as well I might as well get back into since I’ve got all of the maps now! just frustrated that I have to get online to play some games in Ranked I hate lag. XBLA is killing me too …Trials HD sucks … no it doesn’t … I :heart: it.

And I got stuck into EVE online as well .. my life is over..

i don’t know about fallout 3, but any game that only offers a couples hours of play before i go play something more exciting (here’s looking at your far cry 2 :angry: ), is not worth it.

so if i had decide to pick up fallout 3 and only clock up 4-5 hours before putting down in favour of something else… it would be gathering dust in my “miss-guided purchase” collection.

i don’t have time to complete games that didn’t grab me on the first outing, and if they did, they’d be completed. kinda like books… of which i have a massive pile of shame :blush:

I’ve stopped buying games on launch day and to be honest it’s not that bad. I buy better games – and I don’t sit around feeling guilty about not playing a game. I’ve also limited myself to buying 1 game at a time. Same with CD’s – i bought 8 cd’s the last time and I still haven’t even opened 6 of them – it’s a waste… you’re gonna spend more time on the better ones anyway.

Finally started on Bourne Conspiracy on Friday, still got Mirror’s Edge, Too Human, Left 4 Dead, Dead Space and Fallout 3 to get through. I think it’s safe to say that I’m screwed.

Backlogs… we’ve all got them. However, I’m glad to say that I finished well over 15 games in August, purely because I was trying to catch up with backlog. I’ve only got about 5 games left now (excluding online downloads). So, it’s very possible to rid yourself of your waste seeing that you make the time for it. Bring on the holiday games!
