Do you ever get that feeling that you want to play a game but not sure what?

The trouble is with doing that is I start several different games and I never finish them. Then I forbid myself from doing that again and end up playing nothing.
It's the worst thing for me, starting one game, getting bored then starting another, and repeat. I just end up with a long list of games that need completing, and because I am OCD about things like that, it drives me nuts. I always make myself at some point go back and complete it, before I'll let myself buy or start a new game. Example, I won't let myself play Max Payne 3 until I have completed 1 & 2.
It's hell in my head at times.

I get this. ArmA2 is my staple GO TO game there is a lot of stuff you can do with it. But sometimes the map being played is not one i fancy, or iv been playing it all week and need a break.
I end up just staring at steam... opening and closing my Games folder... searching this forum for new ideas...
My big problem is the games i want to play are all just not quite out. ArmA3, GW2, MOH.

I get this all the time, ONLY games that i've ever focused on and played practically non0stop are: Cysis, Oblivion: Elder Scrolls, Metro 2033 and Bioshock 1 & 2, In my opinion their the only good classic games worth playing and would play all of them again if i was that bored.... And i've never once played a game through twice other than Final Fantasy 7....

I always solve this with TF2 jump maps.
osu! was a good game for this feeling too. But then I realised that game takes entirely too much skill and I don't want to put the effort into becoming good enough.

i been having that feeling also but was thinking what to play, but i recently got Mount and blade pack with nepoleonic wars, for £7.99
so have been enjoying that lately, reminds me of counter strike, as you ony get one life and theres 100 vs 100 servers...theres are a lot of funny moments in the game!!!

I occasionally feel like this as well. Though sometimes I've discovered that it's the desire for a new game. Nothing you currently own can satisfy the itch, so maybe you should look at something you don't own that looks (or sounds) interesting.
Wait, Counter-Strike had 100 vs 100 servers?
Is it worth it then?
noo counter strike didnt have 100 vs 100, I was refering to the if you die your out for the rest of the round, you get many,
different classes even a drummer to boost morale, but it has many game modes and its a fun game, but takes a bit of time to get used to as you have to use a sword, or gun bayonet for close in battles, you can also block!!

I used to be in the same situation quite a lot. Sat there looking at my Steam Library trying to find something other than Counter Strike to play for a change, I'd give up after 10 minutes and then just go back on CS.
I don't get much time to go on games any more, but I still end up playing CS. I had a GTA IV stage at one point when I discovered one of the patches made it run awesomely for me, but I soon went back to CS. Might as well not have any other games installed, it'd free up a nice bit of HDD space.

Im in this space at the moment.
Diablo 3 Im sick of already.
SWTOR wasnt the game I hoped it would be.
Civ V & Sins games are really fun, but all seem to fall into the same pattern mid-endgame after a while, which gets repetitive.
SC2 is actually stressful rather than relaxing, and Im simply not very good at it.
.
Im waiting for BG2: Enhanced Edition, but there is very little information on that at the moment.
Actually considering resubbing to WoW, which is something I never thought I would do!
