Do you finish your backlog before getting new games?

The only backlog I see is when I get off the toilet.

I play one game at a time and play it till I finish it unless it's something I loose interest in. I buy tons of game and in the meantime I just add them to my back log. I don't buy games new I wait till their dirt cheap. Buying games new is a waste of money when in 6 months their half price. I have enough games to keep me occupied until price drops. I also wait for game of the year or complete editions with all the DLC.DLC is another reason I no longer buy games day 1. If they can't include the entire game when it comes out I can't justify paying full price.

Ever since I got a job Ive un-noticeably created a backlog that keeps getting bigger and bigger, but yes I try to finish at least a few games before I buy a new one.

I don't like to waste money, so 98% of the time I usually finish what I'm playing before I'll purchase or rent anything. Once in a while that rule is broken.

I am not so good at doing this, anyone else buy games before they are finished with their backlog? Or do you guys finish them?

I used to be able to finish just about every game, but then came college, a job, and a girlfriend lol. They're all good things, don't get me wrong, but they can use up a lot of game time. I made myself crush Dead Space 3 awhile back and just this week Bioshock Infinite because my brother said the ending was ultimate (it was!). But I looked forward to Tomb Raider and DMC for a long time and probably only have a few hours in each. I can't help myself messing around in some multiplayer on a free day. Next thing I know I'm stuck buying a new game lol. Luckily summer is looking open for some gaming because not many new titles are coming out, so I'll get a lot done then

Nice topic TC

nope, I have loads I haven't even touched.

I have no backlog (because I have no friends).Lulekani

I'm currently playing through a huge back log of about 70+ games at the moment before the new consoles are out, but I'm averaging around 4 games a month. :(

That would be the intelligent and sensible thing to do. It's a shame I'm not that intelligent or sensible. :(

Developers need to stop making good games. It's getting hard to keep track. 

I only have about three games I haven't finished yet, I'm pretty OCD when it comes to beating my games.  I always just focus on beating one game at a time.

I wish - I play a game to a good ampunt done and then off to the next game.

I buy about 15 games a year, but I put all my time into them.

I only have a few titles in my backlog.

Resistance 2 (Started)
Darksiders (Started)
Darksiders 2
Dead Rising 2 (Started)
L.A. Noire (Started)
Just Cause 2 (Started)
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools Of Destruction (Started)
Fable 3
Crackdown 2 (Started)

Most of these games just never held my attention long enough for me to finish. I certainly will finish them eventually though.

Not recently, no, but that's likely to change since I don't see many new games coming out that I want.  I may actually have time to put a good dent in my backlog.
