If you are anything like me then chances are you have bought far more games then you'll ever have the chance to play. Sometimes I need a little motivation to go back and play through a game that I regret not spending the time with yet. Anyways, that's what this thread is for. Simply delve into your backlog and pick a game that you own that you regret not having played yet, then post what game you are gonna play on here and update your post with your progress (whether you've finished it, or just played it enough to be satisfied.)

Anyways, my February game is going to be Darksiders. I want to have played it before Darksiders 2 comes out this year so I can make a more informed purchase decision on it,

So what is everyone else thinking of playing through?

Update: Started Darksiders and about 3 hours in now. Really enjoying it so far.

I gotta play through Darksiders, Bulletstorm, Deus Ex, Dead Island, Final Fantasy XIII and bunch of PSN games I bought on sale and haven't even opened yet. Unfortuantly February is looking to be more busy than January for me in terms of both school and work, ugh.

My backlog is now hundreds of games deep thanks to Steam. Also, all I want to do is play Dark Souls. I'm 200+ hours in now.

My backlog makes me sad everytime I look at it...

I made a list of all the games which I really need to finish and here it is.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations - Having trouble getting into this one.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - It's not what I was expecting but it's interesting and I would like to play more.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D - In Ganon's Castle after going on my own quest to collect all the heart pieces. (50 Gold Skultulas was enough!)

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - I really don't know how I feel about this game. I love the temples, but the stuff in between them feels like a huge chore to me.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies - Slowly working my way through it. Enjoying it so far.

Alice: Madness Returns - Really love the world and the platforming, quite sad I never finished it.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction - I really enjoy the sneaking, but really don't like it when it becomes a third person shooter.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Sunk around 70 hours into it, haven't done the main quest.

Rage - Got over halfway through the game then eventually burned out due to the lack of checkpoints. (Need to learn to save as I go along).

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Got it cheap with Rage, haven't played it yet!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - How can I not finish a short, linear shooter, shame on me!

Bulletstorm - Steam sale, haven't touched.

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North - Again Steam Sale.

Fable III - Not very far in, somewhat enjoying though.

Skyrim ( not gonna happen anytime soon)

Saints Row the 3rd ( thanks a lot Skyrim for using up all my time)

Disgaea 4

Dark Souls

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

It's all Skyrim's fault. Damn I feel like I'm in a abusive relationship and I keep coming back for more.

I hear you ...but at the same time it's also some excitement for all the awesome stuff I have yet to experience!

This month I'm going to tackle Xenoblade Chronicles, which I started in January but had to put on hold to take care of some University work.

And I wanna at least finish Shadows of the Damned and Resident Evil: Revelations, too!

Skyward Sword, even though I didn't think I'd like it, now that I'm "used" to the controls, all of the best Zelda memories are coming back to me.

LA Noire, Bioshock (I know), Metroid Other M, Mario Galaxy 2 (I just got a Wii a couple months ago for a killer price), and of course Skyrim.

Phantasy Star II. I know, this one's an oldie. I had the game as a kid and never beat it. Bought it again used as a teen and again never beat it. I got pretty darn close but then my save file got corrupted. Needless to say I didn't have the heart to start a brand new game. Damn those old carts! I'm now playing it on one of the numerous Sega compilation discs and am about halfway through. Without the fear of losing my data, it's all up to determination from here on out. The dungeons are brutal for a JRPG, and the encounter rate is unmercifully high. Nevertheless I am enjoying myself and see myself finishing it within the next week.

After that I need to finish Divine Divinity and play more Skyrim. You'd think that all I play is RPGs by what I'm typing here, but that's not the case. The thing is they're really the only type of games that ever end up on any backlog for me.

I'm playing Peacewalker HD right now, which is fantastic because I never owned a PSP. But once SSX comes out I don't think I'll have time for all these unfinished games.

I cleared 5 games out of my backlog last month. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Alice: Madness Returns, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2, Shadows of the Damned, and Mass Effect 2. I plan to clear out at least 2 more before ME3 comes out.

Yeah, I have been going through my stack of shame and I came up with a list of games that I need to put a bow on before I can worry too much about the 2012 games. The thing is, I started playing most of these games and I put them down for one reason or another during the year. Now, I have to get in there and finish them.

Skyrim - Only have like ten hours in so far. Been too busy.

Uncharted 3 - about halfway done.

Infamous 2 - I finished festival of blood and it has compelled me to go back to Infamous 2

Dirt 3 - played very little

Forza 4 - I am on season 6

Metal Gear HD - played almost nothing

L.A. Noire - Just finished it last night

Rage - I am on the second disc

Space Marine - probably halfway

Dark Souls - hahahahaha Yeah, that probably isn't gonna get finished

El Shaddai - I dunno..... Like 4 hours?

Dead Space 2 - Disc 2

Halo 2 PC - Just started it for the points

Castlevania LoS - 5 hours

Driver San Francisco - about halfway

Vanquish - Less than an hour

Red Faction Armageddon - a couple of hours

Deus Ex: Human Rev - about an hour

Duke Nukem Forever - probably halfway (I will finish it out of spite)

Deadly Premonition - I will get around to this one day.... Just not today.

Well, there you have it..... My shameful pile of shame.

I get sidetracked too easily these days...  Skyrim, Deus Ex: HR: The Missing Link (finished main game already), Assassin's Creed Revelations (starting to feel series fatigue, can't get into it), Halo: CE: Anniversary, Catherine, RAGE, and uh.. I forget.

My backlog is ridiculous, and goes back a few years. Lets start back there, Quake 4, Doom 3, Zeno Clash, Metro 2033, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC, Clear Skies, Chronicles of Riddick: Assult on Dark Athena, Aliens vs. Predator, Dead Rising 2, Saints Row The Third, The Witcher 1, Trine 2, Magicka, King Arthur, Just Cause 2, Dark Souls. So many more.... needless to say most of those will probably never be finished...

Jump on Singularity ASAP. That game deserves so much more attention then it got.
 
Anyways for me it's 
 
Final Fantasy XIII-2: I'll probably finish this before the end of the week, I'm loving it so far. Great game to start of my 20102.
 
Uncharted 3: Drakes Decemption - I got stuck on a puzzle and never went back...yeah, I'm "That guy"
 
Dead Space 2 - I'm half way through the game, just need to hurry it up and find some time to play it. 
 
These 3 need to be beat while I play NBA 2K12, Super Street Fighter IV:AE, and Tekken 6 on a daily basis.

Warhammer 40k Space Marine: Just bought it on Steam, gonna see how much I like it.
Dark Souls: Have about 3 or 4 bosses left, about 55 hours in and I don't know if I will ever return even though I love the game. Its just so hard to get back into.
Skyrim: About 60 hours in, I'm a little over half way through the main quest, and I finished Mage's guild and I'm half way through Dark brotherhood. I will continue to play this over a loooooong period of time.
Saints Row The Third: Never beat all the side missions/cleared all the territory. Not sure if I ever will.
Shadow of the Colossus HD: Just beat the fifth Colossus, will be playing it in random spurts most likely. 
Battlefield 3 campaign: Probably never gonna happen
Fallout New Vegas: About 10 hours in, probably never gonna play it again
RAGE: About 6 hours in, would like to beat it someday but the chances are slim.
Limbo: Haven't started it yet
Deus Ex: Human Revolution: About halfway through and got sick of it, I don't know why.
Sam and Max Collection: Only played 2 episodes...
 Beyond Good and Evil HD: Don't know why I stopped playing this
 
And thats about it, not as bad as I thought -_-

1) Rayman: Origins - Was fun at first, but kinda burned out on it right now. I'm not a huge platformer fan.

2) Space Marine - Over halfway done, but it's a chore for me to play. I do not like it at all.

3) Forza 4 - I think I only finished one season of races, would love to go back.

4) Castlevania : LoS - I'm only like 3 hours into this, even though I have had it for a year and a half.

5) Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom - Haven't even opened it yet, bought it over a year ago for like $10.

6) Fallout: New Vegas - *grumble*, *grumble*, *grumble*, *grumble*.... I fucking hate this game.

Dead Space Extraction, just finished Dead Space and really loved it. Happened to own Extraction already and wanted to play some more Dead Space so why not. Playing the Wii version. Surprisingly good for a rail shooter.

Also asked my wife to pick another game for me since that DSE it not so long. She picked a number and it landed on: Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements. No comments about that yet. Rolled a warrior and its combat feels decent enough.

I've started Darksiders a while back, beat the first dungeon (the bat demoness) and was planning on making that my current PS3 game.

On the PC I'm almost through act 2 on GTA4 and quickly approaching where I stopped playing the last time I tried to get through it all, but since Star Trek Online went free-to-play I've been on that whenever I get the chance. But the only reason I started it up again was because I wanted to get through it (and maybe the Episodes too) before diving into Saints Row 3 which I know I'll enjoy more. I think I'll focus on the most recent game I started on the PC though: Dead Space. Star Trek Online will still probably edge out either game's play opportunity.

Fucking backlogs, making video gaming seem like a chore. Whatever happened to the old days when I stared at flyer cutouts of a game for weeks before finally getting it and playing it for months before even considering anything else. Age and money happened, and perhaps more to blame, Steam sales happened.

I just wrapped up Skyrim (first S ranked 360 game), now to dive into AC:Brotherhood, SR3 DLC, Iron Brigade DLC, play through 3 of Borderlands DLC, finish Forza 4 (season is done, I'm roughly a fifth through the checklist), I'm still in the first year of my Madden franchise, 20 minutes into GTA 4, majorly lacking in BF3 campaign and multiplayer, and ive yet to touch Darksiders, Dragon Age, and DA2. Not to mention SSX coming quickly...and to compound all of that I'm getting married 11 days after ME3 launches.
