You obviously can't play them all at ONCE, and yes, you can play as many as you would like, so no BS.

I'm currently only playing one PSP and one PS2 game. There is another great game on PS2 I would love to start playing, but I get pretty I'll have too much on my hands. Yeah, it's just games, but still.

2 PS2 games, and 1 handheld. Meh, maybe?


How many can you balance?

I tend to focus on one at a time. I know if I play more than one game, one of them will suck me in more than the others and I'll lose track of the neglected ones and never finish them.

I try to focus on just one at a time, but recently I've been getting distracted and trying to play 1 or 2 per platform, and I'm just not making progress on any of them.

YES! I have ADD too actually, as in an official diagnosis, used to take adderall, lalala. But I've forced myself not to play so many, because I end up dropping a few at a time and coming back later, it's so confusing.

Mainly only one, may play a second one I already beat. E.g: Right now I'm playing Tales of Vesperia, mixing it up with a second playthrough of Resident Evil 5.

How ever many I like. I play my games a very weird way. I will one day wake up and be like I wawnt to play Brutal Legends and then Batman Arkum ASylum. Ill play them and I wont play them for about another week or even a month. The next day Ill play some Uncharted 2 online, InFAMOUS and Demons Souls.

Today its Uncharted 2 online (probably wont play this for like a whole month), 3D Dot Game Heroes ( probably wont play for another week) and Assassins Creed 2 ( I barely play this, Im half way through my second playthrough and will probably finish it before christmas)

Of course this only goes for games Im beat, so Im constantly, slowly but steadily, replaying all my games. When I get a new game, I usually just stick with that.

I think I've posted in similar thread quite recently, never mind though. To answer the question, two, three games max. anything above that is little bit too much for me to handle, though I've crosed that line few times, usually results in me neglecting some games due the lack of free time.

if I do switch games it's only to do some matchmaking in another game, like some BFBC2 multiplayer, I generally play games from beginning to end, and then again and again to get the achievements if I do switch in the middle of a game, which is rare, to another single player game, it's usually because the first game sucked so bad I had to just stop, then I get back to it later if I've learned to look past its shortcomings

I'm about halfway through 5 games now. I try to focus, but I get bored occasionally and have to jump to other games occasionally.

I used to prefer playing one game at a time and that was back when I played way more, but now I kind of just jump around between a bunch of games.

I try to play 3-4 games at once. It takes me months to beat the games, but I usually beat them all around the same time. Check my blog to see what exactly I am playing. ;)

Just today I played Devil May Cry 3 (PS2), Prince of Persia [2008] (360), Forza Motorsport 3 (360), Minecraft (PC) and Super Mario Sunshine (GC). I also have Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (GC) and F-Zero GX (GC) on the go from earlier this week.

I generally don't like playing more than one game at once... but sometimes I just want to play a bunch of different games all at once.

Depends on what you mean by at onece, If you mean how many games am i playing that i havent finished, were talkin borderlands, alan wake, dragon age origins, fallout 3 gotye, GTA4, battlefield BC2, modnation racers, fight night rd 4, army of two, dirt 2, lego harry potter, legend of zelda twighlight princess, madden 2011, and maybe a few for the ds, and the sad thing is i wont beat all of them, i just dont have enough time. But if you mean how many i actually play at once, i usually play 2 or three.

There have been a few threads like this around lately. But for me, I'm usually into 3 to 4 games at a time.

I can only play one heavily story-driven game at a time. For example, Uncharted, Mass Effect, MGS4, etc. However, during my time playing the game, I will also dabble into my multiplayer games such as NHL 11, Madden, and WoW. I wouldn't play a game like Heavy Rain while I am also playing God of War.

According to my Now Playing list, the number is 8. But I'm really only focusing on about 4-5 of those.

If it is story mode, I can usually only play one at a time. If I play anymore than that I become uninvolved in the story and begin to get like "what just happened last time I played?"

With multi-player, I can undoubtedly play ten at once or within one day, because I get bored with them easily and go onto the next one.

Usually about 2. One game where I'm focusing on the MP (right now RDR and Halo:Reach) and one game where I play the single-player. Fable II atm.

That sounds about right although I don't have nearly as many downloadable games as I'd like.
