How do you decide which game to play?

If you're anything like me, you are exceptionally spoiled in that you own multiple video games that you may not have completed, or even started.  So my questions is: how do you decide what game to play next?  What draws you to choosing that game?

For a few years, I've realized I am very visually drawn to the icon art, (previously) box art, and perhaps screenshots when it comes to choosing which game to play next.  Sometimes I stare at my desktop and see a slew of great games I have yet to really begin: Company of Heroes, Dead Space 2, Crysis 2, etc.  Instead, I keep coming back to the same games (currenly Planetside 2 and Elemental: Fallen Enchantress).

I have even tried to sort my game titles in a spreadsheet, wherein each column lists a "type" of game, such as "fun for 15-20 minutes," "will take hours," etc.
