    Play a lot of video games? If so, there's a good chance you've accumulated a backlog over the years. Sure, you've been meaning to go back and play them but it seems like there's always something getting in the way. Work? School? Family? Even those pesky new games that keep coming out before you've finished the last one. How are you supposed to keep up? Nevermind trying to get through the old ones in your backlog!

    What you need is a little motivation. What gamer doesn't like to look over their stats and celebrate the milestones as they progress toward a goal? That's where we come in. We'll keep track of everything for you so you'll know what you've done and what still needs your attention. Inputting your games is quick and easy. No slow, endless lists to search through. Just type it in and go!

    You just might discover a lot of great games that were swept aside long ago. And best of all, you already own them!

    The Backloggery is a neat website that helps you manage the amount of games you play/buy/download. You add an amount of games you have and organize them by various variables, the main point is to organize your Completed:Uncompleted game ratio. I myself have a lot of games, and a lot of games I haven't beaten, I tend to download more games even when I don't beat prior games. This gives you some good motivation to complete those games and feel a little more accomplished about your gaming!

    Hmm, I'm tempted to join but I'm afraid I wouldn't like what I see.

    Yeah, I see what they're doing there...but I'm not a fan of the interface and it just takes way too long to enter the information. 
    Defaulting to US each time you enter a game is a bit annoying too. 
    So, its a nice idea..just not for me.

    I agree, lot of hassle to input stuff.
    Which, in my opinion, could be spend playing those games!

    You can change the default region from the "My Backloggery" menu, then options, then User Info.
     
    It's not perfect, but it suits my needs.  It would be nice if it had a database of games, and showed some additional information (e.g. boxart, release date).  That's actually why I switched to the GB lists for a while.  However, it is a basic, unordered list implementation.  That's fine for top-ten lists, or GOTY lists, but as designed, it doesn't handle collections or wishlists very well (no place to choose the Platform, except for comments, no sorting option), so I switched back to backloggery recently.  I also found a decent Greasemonkey script called Tor's Backloggery Enhancements, which adds support for marking a release year, and distribution method (Steam, GOG, Impulse, etc), and builds some cool charts based on that info.
     
    Like I said, it isn't perfect, but it is the closing thing I've found to what I want in that kind of site. Unless I find a better site, or ever actually get anywhere on the one I was working myself, backloggery will do.
