I got a new laptop and Im able to play a lot of tones of amazing "old games" I bought on steam. Each one of them are awesome in its own way. So...I spend more time thinking wich one to pick instead of playing it.

*Skyrim- after a couple of hours having to deal with his clunky gameplay now I love it. So much inmersive and organic world.

*Deus ex human revolution- near to perfection. Too bad its so focused on stealth. Otherwise could be close to half-life and flasback as my all time favourite videogamws.

*Borderlands 2 - insanely addictive.

*mass effect 2/3 - such an universe and storytelling! Talking og wich...i begin with 3. I leave it in 75% done and I begin wity the second wich I almost going to finish. Dont know if its worth to import my savings and start the third again.

*darksiders 2 - gorgeous art design and so much fun combination of some of my favourite games.

*alien isolation- a dream com true for a fan of this franchise

*-far cry 3- fps action adventure survival also near to perfection. You can even see water in your eyes when you get out of the water.

So...whats your recommendation? How i should proceed? Lol

Really? How about you do it like every sane person and just play what you feel like playing in the moment?

I have about 530 games, so I created a Backloggery.com list. It has a "fortune cookie" button that will randomly pull a game for you to play if you can't decide.

I have no real methods or anything I really just pick the first thing that grabs my interest at any given time.

Play what you are most interested in first or just whatever you feel like playing

@jord: Play the game(s) you want to actually play based on personal interest in that time-frame. A very simple answer I know, but I never have backlog issues because even though I try new games I always go with what I'm craving for.

I usually play two games at a time, one a main game (will take longer to play but has more content), and what I call a side game (usually a party game, retro title, or considered Indie) when I need a break from the main game_

So yeah, play games you are actually interested in playing in the moment. Seeing games as a chore/ check-list is turning something fun into work. Best to beat out that bad habit and have fun.
