Writing reviews is only possible if you can actually finish a game. Unfortunately for me, I'm dying to write a review, but I just haven't been able too finish a game as of late.

I've been jumping from game to game with such frequency for various reason; the top of which being an acute lack of interest. For example, I was playing Company of Heroes and enjoying the game very, very much for about a week. Absolutely loving it. I even wrote earlier that it was revitalizing my interest in the RTS genre. I was enjoying it, that is, until I hit that one timed level. What is the big problem with one little timed level? Well, I have an openly admitted problem with anything that has a time limit. Considering that my major strategy in COH, or any RTS, really, is always to dig in real tight with base defenses and gradual resource domination, a process which takes a whole lot of time to accomplish, my only viable strategy suddenly becomes useless when a time limit is involved.

Yes, I suck at RTS games because I cannot adapt. I can't move fast enough to create the units necessary to rush in without losing them all in the scuffle between rushing back to my base to build more units and fighting a war halfway across the map. So I gave up. I recently reinstalled Windows, and never bothered to reinstall COH.

But really, the biggest problem is that I've just had so many games to play. Spore, Pokemon Platinum, Neverwinter Nights 2, Tales of Vesperia... all games that take a whole lot of time, and time is not something i have a lot of.

Though come to think of it, Of all those games I just listed, Spore is a game I've technically "beaten." I've made it to the center of the universe, at least. I think to fully "beat" Spore would involve capturing every planet in every solar system for complete universal domination, but anybody with that much time on their hands and with that much of a drive for one single game woudl have to be a madman.

I understand your plight.  I have so many games that I still have yet to beat and when you hit a stop-gap (like the timed level for you in Company of Heroes) that prevents you from moving forward, it can kill the interest you had in the game.

Lately, what I've been doing is trying to focus on no more than 3 - 5 games at once.  That sounds like a lot but if you vary the game types like one fps, one rpg, one puzzle, etc., it's not quite as bad.  You'll slowly make progress through them.  Since I don't have as much time like yourself, I've restricted the idea of "beating" a game to viewing the end credits.  When I've viewed the end credits, I mark on a spreadsheet (kept at google.com/docs) the date I completed the game.  This way, I feel like I've finished it and can move on to other games but I still know I have other things that I can go back to.
