Half-life 2, Doom, GTA San Andreas, Battlefield 2, Call of Duty2, Fear, Far Cry,Painkiller, Graw, Rainbow Six Vegas, Splinder Cell Series, lol and even some older ones like Undying, Thief, AvP2, Mafia, Deus Ex..... Many good games, so little time. Any of you have the same problem?

Yeah I feel your pain. I own around 225-230 games and about 120 of them are unbeaten. I am trying to balance a 42 hour work week with friends and gaming. It's hard but enjoyable.

Jade_Monkey... 230 games?? wow and i thought i had a lot. lol and yea another problem is trying to pick what to play next.

I have the same problem. I have several hundred games that I haven't beaten, some of them I haven't even tried. Well what can you do when there's a shop near you that sells old/used games for dirt cheap. :oops:

I don't, i take one game at a time.

i feel your pain, between my pc, ps2, ps3 and snes games i probably have around 200 games and i've beaten MAYBE 20 of them.

Yea i always buy them when they get to 10 bucks or less.

Luckily, I don't have this kind of problem lately.

Yeah, I know what you mean - I've got game boxes on my desk that I haven't even opened, and a ton of stuff that I've never finished (or even played much of). I just find that I don't have enough time to spend playing slow/mediocre games.

you should see, my closet looks like a EB games store. lol

I've got over 130 PC games (I don't have about a dozen listed on my game collection list because they're so bad....I don't want the world to know I wasted money on them) and I can honestly say that I've probably have beaten about 1/4 of them on that list. So I've got around 90-100 I haven't beat.

I tend to get so far into a game, then start over to try something different...rinse and repeat and then I never do beat the game.

I have at least 2-3 dozen games that I own that I haven't even opened yet.

I've got about 2 dozen games installed on my PC currently and out of those, I've probably got 6 of them beat, but I still play them from time to time. The rest of the games I either haven't played or I played a ways into the game and stopped for some reason or another.

I've got a good 50 games sitting on my computer desk on the left side that I have played and not beat or not even played yet and the 30 games or so on the right side of my computer desk are games I have beat. Then I have a big box of games in a closet that has the rest of my games - generally the older ones - which very few of them I have actually beat.

I had to stop going into GameStop stores and Best Buy stores and even browsing Amazon.com for PC games....I always walk out with a new game and I don't get a chance to play it. I need to beat what I have. I haven't bought a game for over 4 months now....it's driving me crazy!

I have about 50 games I've yet to clear.Most of them are on the PC but I have a few for my PS3 and Xbox 360 aswell.Problem is every time I go into a game shop I usually buy another game.

I had the same problems, in fact last year these games were on my bought but have not played list (I have finished them now except Graw), so I decided not to get any new games until I was done with the old ones I have. I still have some games I need to play through before I get new ones, but when some of those games are Grim Fandango, No one lives forever, Mafia and I-War 2 there is not much to complain about :).

Philmon.... you need to play NOLF ASAP lol it came out in 2000 but ill put it agaisnt any game today. Its that fun to me.

I'm in a similar position, I've picked up games that have interested me but uni work took higher priority.

I'm currently nearing the end of my last year at university, once done I plan on enjoying catching up.

i used to have that problem really bad.

now i limit myself to 3 or 4 games at one time.

I have around 70 games and have beaten over 45-50 of them. The rest of my games that are unplayed are just on the "to-play" pile or so bad I can't even bring myself to play them for whatever reason (like Descent I and II and Freespace II make me dizzy..).

This is just off the top of my head, I'm sure I am missing more.

But it's better to have more games , than not have enough. I just consider myself a squirrel storing up nuts for the Winter! :)

I don't have a stack of unplayed games, but I DO have a stack of unbeaten games. I have this problem of starting a game, then getting distracted by another game and forgetting about the original. Just to list a few that I have started and not beaten: KOTOR, SW: Republic Commando, GTA: San Andreas, Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, Bioshock, Gears of War, DMC4 (waiting on getting a gamepad for that one, so I guess that's legit), CoD:WaW, ES4:Oblivion, Mafia, Doom 3...and that's just quick off the top of my head. I gotta get on all those...

nah ive never had that problem. i buy one game beat it, buy another one. Try playing them when your about to go to sleep for a couple of minutes.:P

I don't have many games but yeah, I understand.

I have 40-50 games and maybe beaten 15 of em.

Jade_Monkey... 230 games?? wow and i thought i had a lot. lol and yea another problem is trying to pick what to play next.

yeah I spend way more than I should on games. I don't have kids or dependants so my 42 hour a week pay cheque can go towards more games than the avergae gamer. Choosing what to play is a huge task for me. If I can't decide I will just go to www.random.org and get it to give me a random number which will corrospond to a game and that's what I play.

how can some of you people aford 100s of games? Why do you keep buyng more if you don't play them :?

Im running out of shelf space but im relatively new to the PC gaming scene so my collection is not as large. Granted, I think they should stick with the slim DVD cases, the fat ones are just a disc with a manual and nothing else so I don't get why you need such a fat box. At least it makes for a colorful room!spiderman120988

I agree with the slim DVD case idea. I have no problem with bigger boxes if they are warrented but if they are not it would make it easier trying to store my games. I am using an entire closet right now and almost out of room.

Many good games, so little time. Any of you have the same problem?California74

Abso-friggin-lutely. I had actually been making progress cutting into my backlog of PC games, or at least keeping pace, at one point. Recently though, I'm starting to accumulate games far faster than I get to them once again.

Philmon.... you need to play NOLF ASAP lol it came out in 2000 but ill put it agaisnt any game today. Its that fun to me.

NOLF (in addition to NOLF2) is among my all-time favorites, great game!

Yes, I do. I love these new games that keep coming out, but most games I have I haven't even finished them. Thats what I am trying to do in my spare time

Some of my games are not completed, but i would say a stack, more like 5 or 4. Some of them because of the fact the story was terrible, or because someone used to wipe my save everytime i left. (curse you, nephews, prolonging my completion of FFX-2!) Some i completed when i was about 5 years old but just haven't played again.

I just go with a few games finish with them get a couple more and by the time I'm done those I'll want to play those old games again. Keeps my budget way down. Right now I'm playing GeoW and Fallout 3 and later I might go back to Command and Conquer or finally grow a pair and by Crysis
