Oftentimes, yes. I find it difficult to bounce back and forth between games. I'll try to finish the story in one game before going to another game. Then I might return to the previous game to do other things.
Depends on the game and if its captivating enough, also sims/manager and strategy games are usally so long that playing that none-stop would drive any normal person insane, so those i play while also playing other games.
Only when I have a number of new games. For the most part, between releases I fall back on a few games I swap between- Captain America, Arkham City, Mercenaries 2 and a few others. Going to add a few games to that list this year; Arkham Origins and AO: Blackgate, TMNT: Out of the Shadows and probably that TMNT cartoon game for my 3ds.
I currently just finished Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen(love this game), and have started playing ffxiii-2(Liking it a lot more than FFxiii, still mediocre in light with Final Fantasy games, but good in its own right) from where I left off about 6 months ago(this is what happens when I start playing another game while I am playing a different game I end up putting one down and taking in the other one).
I can play rts games on the side or maybe a multi-player game, but not 2 or more singleplayer games(especially rpgs) at once.
Right now im alternating between 3 games. Im trying to free up some backlog because once GTA V comes out, I know all my attention will be on that game.
I usually try to alternate between 2-3 games. At the moment, I am playing Metal Gear Solid 3 HD, Fallout 3, and Dragon Age: Origins. I try my best to finish the games I am playing before moving on to another one. If I stop playing a game and come back to it a while later, I completely forget where I am in the story, how to play, etc.
I tend to play story based games one at a time but I prefer my to play my games online such as Gears Of War and Call Of Duty, as I feel online gives you a better overall experience!
I dont like playing 2 games on the same platform at the same time, but i like playing multiple games on different platforms that way im not constantly disc swapping.

Can I just say that I'm hoping TMNT: Out of the Shadows turn out great? It just looks like so much fun and it seems like beat em ups like that sort of died this generation.
And to OP, no, not even a little bit. I play multiple games each day.

Multiplayer beatem ups have certainly suffered this gen, but the beatem up genre as a whole has made huge advancements in the same amount of time. Hopefully the new TMNT proves to be on the high side of the recent beat em up equation- with Cap and Batman instead of hanging out with Spiderman in the remedial section of the class.
Save for a few rare instances of an Uncharted, a Last of Us, a BioShock 1/2, I find that I cannot often keep my attention on one game at a time, so I tend to juggle games of mixed genres at a time.
Normally multiple as it is quite rare for one game to entirely hold my attention unless it is either very good or interesting from the outset. This is pretty common for me because I play a lot of JRPGs (or like to) and it is normal for the pacing in one game to slow down so much I lose interest. In the end I tend to inch out of the boring parts of games 20-30 minutes at a time. When the game picks up again I tend to give it more attention again. For shorter games though (5-10 hours), I tend to give them my full attention.
Depends on the games. I play Super Street Fighter 4 all the time and games like Grid 2/Dirt 3 I play on and off.Â
Story based games I try to play 1 at a time. It's not a strict rule or anything I might switch if the story is really slow or boring, in some cases never to return lol
I try to stick to one game at a time since my memory is pretty horrible and I'll forget where I'm at/storyline/etc. if I switch too often. Â Though I do find myself playing a few different games these days as I have less gaming time overall. Â Guess I'm trying to cram in as much as I can. Â I also tend to try to do everything in one go in a game instead of coming back and trying to do side missions or achievements or whatever. Â If I am on a one-game kick, I do make exceptions for things like Civilization or some CoD multiplayer or things like that, things that I can play in short bouts.
