How do you beat games?

Or the question should be, How do you game? Do you chip a way at games in small pieces and drag them out or do you start a game and have to finish it quickly by playing for hours at a time?

I noticed today that I still haven't finished Galaxy and I got it for Christmas. I'll play it and get 1 or 2 stars at a time and quit playing. I do that with a lot of games. I'll play for a half hour here, 20 mintues there; mostly because I am busy doing other things. I'm still working on MP3 too. it's hard to play that game in short incriments because there can be some long gaps between save points in certain missions.

So, I was curious, how do most of you play?

it depends on what kind of game it is.

I Blasted through the first 60 stars in a matter of days on galaxy but once I got to that point I've really been dragging it out. I've yet to break 90 stars.

I blasted through GHIII expert 7 hours after the game came out.

I've yet to beat Resident Evil 4.

I've yet to beat Metroid Prime 3

I chipped away at Sonic and the Secret Rings until I beat it. Now I only go back and play the "head for the goal" levels.

The DMC I've tended to play almost straight through as well but that's a topic for another board.

When I get a new game, I sometimes "No Life" the game until its beaten or theres not extra content.

Ex. When I got Twilight Princess and Galaxy, I locked myself in my room and played for around 17 hours a day.

I beat twilight princess with all hearts in 3 days and Galaxy with 120 stars in 2.

Other examples are Metroid Zero Mission, Minish Cap, Shining Soul and Riviera. All one day games.

I focus on one game. If the game was really fun the first time, I will usually play through it again or I just find another game. I beat games on my own pace which is about 2-3 hours in the afternoon and then a break. Sometimes, I play another hour after dinner.

It depends if I get really into the game or not, and if it's really that long.

In Wii's case, I remember taking a week of my life dedicating myself to complete Zelda: Twilight Princess... Same with Metroid Prime 3 when it came out... Mario Galaxy didn't take as long for me, but yes it got kinda deep for me.

I don't do these things often, but sometimes if I really do get deep within a game on any of the platforms, I might spend lots of time on it until I finish it.
