Like I have so many games I didn't even know I had.

Please don't let me buy any new games ever.

Right?

Now I have 52. ._.

Like I made this post just after going through Steam.

That's not even counting the games I have on Uplay, Twitch, Origin, and Epic.

I have so many whole series I forget about. I basically have every Star Wars game, every Hitman game, every Splinter Cell game, and most Tomb Raider games.

I can probably spend the rest of my lifetime cleaning up my backlog, with the bulk of it being from Steam. >_>

11 hours should put you pretty far into Prototype. Plus it's a fun ass game. finish that.

I just noticed you also have 10 hours into the 2nd....the hell is wrong with you? The story directly follows the 1st. Why would you do this?

Here's what I'm planning on doing:

1. Order them by length, as you have done. Group series you want to play in a specific order together so you don't go out of order.
2. Find the halfway point in terms of total hours.
3. Start playing the longest games from each half of the list at the same time. When you finish one, move to the next in that list.

This way, you don't get burnt out by playing super long games back to back to back, you get to keep marking them off the list at a moderate pace, and you'll gain momentum as you go.

Here's my list at present:

Final Fantasy749
Gran Turismo 4257
Oblivion183
Suikoden167
SoulCalibur V161
Baten Kaitos134
Nallout New Vegas132
Fallout 3116

I will never finish my backlog. It's several hundred games thanks to the humble bundle and other such services. I made peace with that long ago, and just play the games that really interest me. I also don't mind buying a new one if I really want to play it.

I vote for Ori. Such a beautiful, addicting game, and not long either.

I haven't properly counted it for a while (and even then I definitely missed a few), but it must be about 100 or more for me now. I keep picking up free PC games (on Steam, Humble Bundle, GoG, etc.). Then there are big packs of games from which I've played one or two. And finally there are used games on old consoles that I missed out on at the time. Those 3 categories make up the majority.

I've gotten to the point where I don't care. I just play what I feel like playing.

I still have unopened PS2 games I never got around to playing. I'd say my backlog is quite impossible unless I quit my job.

I don't have a backlog I tend to finish all my games and don't waste time replaying the same games. I also play when when I can I know some people dedicate a bunch of time to watching let's play and other useless things instead of gaming....same goes for movies

Played some Gurumin today. Not for me, so probably won't beat that.

Probably moving onto Prototype or The Force Unleashed, or possible a short FPS.
