Have you ever had a tall stack of unplayed games?

If nothing else, crack open Enslaved and play the opening sequence. It's pretty spiffy.

Admittedly, that's as far as I've played the game, since a friend and I were just tossing in a bunch of games I got during holiday sales last year...

I am about 20 minute in to AC2, playing it first.

My collection basically is a tall stack of unplayed games. Soooo many games still in cellophane wrapping. I can see 24 from where I'm sat right now...

:cry:

But yeah, I'm in the same boat. Except in my field of vision, I only have about 8. The really big stack is the crate of DVDs I have yet to crack open.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

Well, I stopped before the final boss because of a spike in difficulty (I normally underlevel in RPGs so don't worry about that) and it's kind of meh.

The overall ideas are very good. Making rows of colored gems to get mana and then cast spells? Crafting like an RPG? Lots of quests? Everything sounds good! But man, the realization is just bland! Really bland. The spells are all underpowered and boring, the quests are just "go there, kill that", the plot is generic and unimportant, and the music is completely uremarkable.

However if like the game from the beginning you will probably keep playing it. You don't lose anything if you don't try.

I just counted, including Downloadable games, but not including DLC add ons, and not including never played games from previous generations, I own 135 that I have not once played.Most of the retail ones have been opened though, so that I could look through the manual, see the disc art, etc. Though most of the downloadable games have not been downloaded even.

I aquired all of them since last December.

I started last December saying that my spending would go down.

Its more then tripled.

I need some help.

If you're in the mood for an FPS, try out Wolfenstein. I played through it on PC when it came out and quite enjoyed it. Not as much as Return to Castle Wolfenstein, mind you, but I did greatly enjoy wandering around the main town, popping Nazis and finding new secret passages. It's also pretty short, you should be through it in a few days or so.

I've usually had no problem rushing through the classics I buy. Now brand new titles on the other hand...

Right now nearly all of my Xbox 360 and Wii games are in my "incomplete" pile. I've started (and enjoyed) many of them but things came up at the time that forced them to my backlog.
