It's gonna sound silly, and I know it's not feasible for you to do --BUT-- what I find helps is:

• Arrange your games into "Beatable" and "Endless" games.
  • Beatable being games you can just finish and shelve or sell.
  • Endless being games you play PURELY for fun. Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter or Child of Eden for example.
• Put the games on a shelf, or where you can see them, in Progressive Order, meaning games with the most progress go FIRST, since they are closest to being beaten. Make these the ones you will reach for first when you feel like playing something!
• Take stock of your Downloads! They tend to be shorter in length and most easy to beat. Get them out of the way, if you must. Finish the ones you have started already!
• If you're NOT planning on playing a game you already own any time soon, get it out of sight! Out of sight, out of mind! It won't be in the back of your head, making you think to yourself: "I have to get to that game soon!"
• Hide away your Portable Games. If you ONLY play them when you are travelling, there's no need for you to be wasting time considering them when you are home!
• If a game --IS NOT-- going to be rare (anything from Rockstar, EA, Nintendo, Activision) and you KNOW you aren't going to have time to play it anyway --DON'T BUY IT-- ! ! ! It will still be there when you want to pick it up!
• Don't buy games of the same Genre of ones you have currently started and have not finished. I am playing Torchlight at the moment and will try to put off even buying Dungeon Siege III until I get it out of the way!

I know all of this is easier said then done and sounds pretty elementary, but the clarity it brings to your mind was a major part in how I was finishing sooo many games at the end of last year and the beginning of this year! Just a thought!

Good stuff but I like to change things up and play what i feel like playing. I have already made a decision that after Infamous 2 I will finally play Fallout cause I think I will have a week off, at least from traveling. Finding which major single player game is not the issue for me I usually play one and stick with it. Its when I beat them but I still want to do stuff with them and a new game comes out and that game gets stuck in limbo. I want to platinum LA Noire, but I want to platinum a bunch of other games too. Uncharted 2 I have had for almost two years and I just lost track of platinuming it. Stuff like that. And LBP2, how do I fit that in, do I play in short bursts or do I devote all my time to it as if it was just released so that I can really sink into creating and playing new levels. Downloable stuff I play in between the retail releases so I usually have two games going on at once.

The truth is I could be doing better with my selection of games. Honestly Infamous 2 is so much like the first game I wouldnt really be missing anything if I never played it. Of course I wouldn't know that if I never played it. So now I am almost done with it and its great but I have played this before. I much rather be playing Mass Effect 2, god I need to beat that game like two more times to see it all.

Its not so much how to attack the games I have, I can figure that out. Its why do I have so many, why do I keep buying when I haven't finished the ones I have. And I dont mean major releases I want, those I will get no matter what. Its those games that are on sale that are impulse buys, they drive me nuts.

Good thing my brother has had his Genesis collecting dust in the closet for 15 years now...wouldn't want any info stolen.

You guys bring up some interesting points about how you arrange your games. Back in the day, I used to have a shelf that I put all my games stacked up on, by system, and by genre. So a PS2 stack, Gamecube stack, Xbox stack, etc. Then, I would have a seperate stack with all my new/unfinished games from every system, in the order I was planning on playing them.

And I'll tell you what, granted, I don't have as much time to play now, and there's also more quality games to play than ever before these days....but I used to finish games much faster back then and I think it has a lot to do with the way I had that setup. I would play no more than 2 games at a time, and whenever a really major game was out, I would play only that until it was done, then move on.

Nowadays, I have all my games in a big mess and instead of having about a dozen new games in an easy to finish stack, I have a zillion new games and I don't even know where to begin! And the whole thing with downloadable stuff just makes it worse...now I have invisible new games to play that I easily forget about!

Sigh.....sometimes I yearn for the simpler times.

I'm not much of a figurine guy, but I saw these and just had to grab them and stick them on my fuckin wall:

Now I want the whole set.

Cole becomes Robin?

Sony Confirms New PS3 Model 320 GB HDD, lower power and weight.

How about a lower price instead.

I know.   It's ridiculous that the PS3 is just now at the PS2 launch price.

I am doing some quick reviews, I am so backed up with them. Next up MK.
