I haven't played through RE5, Halo 3: ODST, GTA IV or GoW2 on my xbox 360. I have had Bioshock for like a year but haven't played it. I recently bought Torchlight but I've only gotten to level 22 and I feel no urge to play more. I have the whole HL-series but I haven't played any of the games to the end except for Half-LIfe 2. I haven't even started on EP2. I've downloaded a SNES-emulator and most of the games considered good to that console but I don't play any of them. I found my old Nintendo 64 and installed it to my TV, played through ZELDA: OOT and tell myself I should play all the other great games I have to that console but I don't. I just waste my time sitting infront of my computer doing nothing. It's like I feel this need to play through all the games that I have but I have too many I haven't played and this makes me not want to play any of them. Instead I consider what new games I should be getting next but I know unless the game is **** awesome I won't even play it much. One thing that sucks is that ALL my friends except for like two ONLY play DOTA. They have been doing that for like 5 years on a daily basis. I cannot possibly understand HOW they find playing between 2-5 SIGs (single instant games on dota-league) every day funny. I usually play the occasional DOTA clanwar but that's about it. Now why am I not playing my games? I mean it's not really like I feel they are bad games and don't want to play them. I just can't never be arsed to start them up. ._______.

I can actually understand your plight quite a bit. I have tons of Xbox games that I have yet to finish, and yet I just keep buying or renting new ones. The mere thought of going back and having to relearn controls or methods, remember the story or plot up to the point where you quit makes you not want to try, and if it's a multiplayer it'll be harder to find game - ect.

I can also understand when all your friends are playing something else; you kinda feel left out, left to your own devices.

Do yourself a favor though, FORCE yourself to toss any of those games in and give yourself 30 minutes of playtime, if you don't find yourself having fun sell it for money or credit. I often do this and find myself having a blast and, once the rust has been shaken off, picking up right where I left off OR feeling excited for starting over with more info, better strategy or a better character the second time around.

I have RE5 and I need to play it more. I only have a few achievements. If you want to Co-Op add my GT: mymortalcoil

I must agree with this. When I don't finish a game it's probably because i'm stuck somewhere so I open the walkthrough and play the game again and I finish it.
