Recently I've got more and more games piling up which i need to complete. I bought a PS2 a few months ago and have a few games i havn't even started on that, and a 360 with plenty of games still requiring my time. Yet i keep buying more? anyone else like this? At the moment the games i need to get through are as follows:

PS2
FF X (still in shrink wrapping)
Ico (played it for about 2 hours then started something else)
Deus Ex (bought this the other day for 2.99 because i was curious how the console version played, not started it yet)
Pro Evo 5 (bought it and hardly played it)

360
Kameo (not far into it)
CoD2 (got the american campaign left to finish on veteren)
PGR3 (done quite a bit not sure how far i am from finishing it though)
Oblivion (got about 36/50 achievements i think, 37 hours into it and just need to do mages guild quests and some thieves guild quests to get all achievements)

It's not as if i particularly dislike any of these games, i just seem to buy other games too fast! Although atm i havn't touched anything apart from oblivion since I bought it which im quite impressed with.

Aye, I do the same thing at times, though I always return to the best games. Top Spin 2 and PES5 are my current games, which means Oblivion is sitting doing nothing at the moment. However, I do know how much I love the game, so as soon as I put it back in I fully expect to get right back into it and not play anything else for a week.
 
Yup, hardly touched some of my games recently but I know I will load them up again at some point in the future, so I keep them. Only if Im 100% I dont want to play it again (ie King Kong, Fifa) will I sell them on.
 
I don't think anyone can be as bad as me..I got 2 xbox 360 games (FNR3 & Burnout revenge) i brought about 3 weeks ago that i haven't even put in my 360 to even look at or try yet..
And another one that i just loaded up and had one quick race (RR6) and then went back to playing tombraider legends.

I've pretty much played all my games to death, except for Oblivion which I'm selling because I just cant be bothered with, and Condemned which I will keep and finish at some point I'm sure. That just got put to the bottom of the pile.

New FIFA game this week though which should keep me entertained for a few weeks till something new is out :)
 
I rarely keep a game unless i consider it to have any replay value. Thats why ive started renting games. I only own about 3 games.

Finished Fifa yesterday. Now im working my way through Top Spin 2. Should have king kong with me by wednesday.

No I tend to play a game to death until its finished then sell it on. Only game I have now that I have to finish is Tomb Raider. I don't have games piling up, my problem is the reverse. There's literally nothing after I finish TRL that I want this year apart from moto gp. If that sucks I'm in trouble. :eek:
 
Heh, I'm the same as you danny. I rarely play more than one single-player game at once (or one game on each system really), and I generally don't stop playing that game until I either finish it, or 100% complete it, depending on how good it is.

My housemate has an absolute shedload of Xbox games (at least 30 or something silly), and yet I think I've only played about 4 or 5 of them. The other just don't interest me, or I plan to play them later, when I've completed what I'm playing currently.
 
One advantage to being strapped for cash is that I can't afford to buy games and not play them. I'm going for every mission in Oblivion.
 
"Think i'll play some PDZ, oooh, FN3 to rent"
*plays, takes back*
"Right now for PDZ, oooh Burnout"
*plays, takes back*
"Sod PDZ, play Oblivion, oooh Tomb Raider"
*plays, takes back, comes back to uni*
"Damn really wanna play PDZ"

That was the second week of my easter holiday. I rarely complete games so I have a tonne pilled up that need to be finished.
 
I don't know how much more game buying time I've got left because I'm currently shopping around for a house with my gf. As soon as I've got bills to pay its going to be a game every 6 months if I'm lucky. Thats why I'm stock piling games now :p

I've got several that have had a tiny bit of play and COD2 that hasn't even been put in the drive yet :o
