What is the size of your backlog right now? Mine probably sits around 30 games. I need to finish the games I have before I get new ones, but it is just too difficult to resist sometimes.

I have many games that I've purchased and not played, but I don't think of them as in my backlog. I think of them as games I might feel like playing at some point. When I want to play something I start it.

Depends on the day, but I'd say between 7 and 8.

Women and small children are frightened by my backlog. Other gamers have seen my backlog and have actually wept. It's bad

I answered 20 to 30 but it is very close to 30 and maybe over. I know I will never play some of these. Included in this are things like Fallout 3, New Vegas and Skyrim. All of those could take up months of my time on their own, and that's if I spent a lot of time playing them.

Right now I'd just like to finish Tomb Raider before I get sucked into Last of Us.

Other stuff on my shortlist to get through: rest of the Assassin's Creed (currently still on Brotherhood), Darksiders II, Infamous 2, Sleeping Dogs and Tomb Raider.

If I can't get through all of these by fall I know they will take a long backseat to GTA V.

My backlog goes back to the Genesis and SNES generation including the portables, with each generation adding a much larger load. I've actually thought about selling my collection off since I hardly have time to play now.

The majority of my games are still factory-sealed especially my PS1 RPGs. Sealed Suikoden 1 & 2, Arc the Lad Collection, Breath of Fire IV, Dragon Warrior VII, Final Fantasy VIII - IX, FF Origins, FF Tactics, Guardian's Crusade, Kartia, Legend of Dragoon, Parasite Eve 1 and 2, Star Ocean the Second Story, Threads of Fate, and Vagrant Story of the top of my head. The others I've played once except for FFVII which I've played through at least 4 times. I think all my PS2 RPGs are still factory-sealed. I don't recall ever getting around to playing them.

I'm gonna have to plead the 5th on this one. Actually, my exact count is 74. My stuff goes all the way back to fifth generation (one day I'm gonna play that copy of Fear Effect: Retro Helix). But like some other posters I have many titles I know I'll never get around too( like Fallout 3 GOTY and Xenogears) or don't want too (like The Fatal Frame Trilogy on PS2). Sigh.

But I've kept my current generation backlog at about 15-20 since 2006.

Lastblade

5th

starman9000

Counting steam indie bundle games, 400+, but if it's regular titles for the PC/360, it's more like 10-15 (with another 20 of last generation stuff I'll likely never play).

Gooter

30-40. My backlog includes only X360 games. Most are opened that I played briefly but keep telling myself I will play again. I try to resist getting new games until my backlog goes down but like wlj it is very hard to resist, especially if it is a great deal. Also, my OCD drives me to be as much of a completionist that I can be (except MP, that's where I draw the line!) in these games so it will generally take me longer to "finish" a game before I move on to the next one.

I'm currently trying to whittle down my backlog by playing the oldest games (by release date) first. So, I've recently finished Oblivion and have moved on to Crackdown.

cruzness

I've got 20-30 games from this generation that I have yet to get to or complete. I have many more from last gen but I know that I will not go back to anything prior to this generation.

Music

Easily triple digits.... if not quadruple digits....

mattysemo247

Yeah, I'm in the tripple digits as well. But I feel like I'm making progress!

dan30oly

quadruple digits going back to the atari 2600

Osiris3657

I don't know the exact number but I believe it's around 20 games (360/PS3). And that number has steadily dropped, I've actually been playing backlog games. Cancelled my preorders of Tomb Raider and Bioshock: Infinite in order to keep trudging on with the backlog. I will not however cancel my preorder of Last of Us.

davidh777

Around 20, I'd say, not counting freebies/handmedowns that I'm not that interested in. Problem is that my time is limited and each game takes so long to play. It's not like a two-hour movie.

Currently set Halo Reach aside for Tomb Raider.

eXcentris

I got back into PC gaming around X-mas and discovered Steam. Now I can't stop buying Steam games. My backlog is around 20.

majorjoe23

It's my frontlog that impresses people.

I might have ten discs waiting to be played, and maybe that many downloaded games on my Xbox.

vballboy51

you guys are making me feel much better. i'm between 20 and 30 at least. i lost track of xbla stuff a lot of times. i've also loaned out games i haven't started just to get them "out of sight out of mind"

Krayzie

I plead the 5th as I have 250+ backlog games just on the 360. That doesn't include all the digital ones I bought...

Around 700 last time I counted

davidh777

This conversation reminded me that I'm only one episode into the Telltale Walking Dead.

OldBoy

at least 10-20

bippitty

I'm building my backlog up, since I may not be getting anything from the next generation.
