Can You Have Too Many Games Going at Once?

Well...can you?

My current collection of games either in progress or waiting to be in progress numbers 10 (11 if you count the free copy of The Darkness that came with my Bioshock purchase). Every time I sit down to play, I have to look at the assorted game cases and have to decide which game to load up today. Once I get it going, I realize it's been so long since I played it last that I've forgotten half the story, three quarters of the controls, and all of what I am supposed to be doing.

I've recently decided to try and finish a few of the games that I am more than half way through before getting into the others; but that's still 3 games and each one has at least 10 hours of gameplay left. Add to that the fact that I am something of a completionist (although I don't care about achievement points so I won't be spending hours collecting every stupid flag in Assassin's Creed) and you may start to get a sense for my dilema.

Right now I'm ensconsed in Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, and Lego Star Wars; I've played about 5 hours of both Halo (campaign, I won't even talk about how much multiplayer time I have) and Bioshock; I've also got GRAW, Oblivion, and Madden all in various stages of just begun; and COD4 and Half Life yet to be started (plus that copy of The Darkness I mentioned earlier). So it kind of seems to me like right now, in this moment, I actually do have too many games.

Any thoughts?
