i honestly have so many video games but i rarley play most of them. i bought super mario galaxy 2, and played it once. anyway, i seriously will buy a game and not play it, because the only thing i play now is cod. i need help!!! they should make a hotline for call of duty addicts!

anyway has anyone else had a similar situation, whether it be with call of duty or any other game!? (jaja i typed that with my eyes closed

I'm familiar with the habit of buying more games than I can realistically play, but I cannot relate to the Call of Duty problem (hate that series). If you need help, though, you could just spend all your money on something else. I need a computer...

Off-topic: I was gonna ask you if you got those yet
On-topic: It's like smoking in videogame form!

I buy games and don't play them all the time. Its an expensive habit.

I'm in that boat too. I've almost bought as many DS games in this year alone thus far (January-June) than the amount of games I'd purchased throughout 2005-2009 combined. o.O A few of my games are still in their shrink wrap or have yet to be played as I've bought many of them on sale.

Many of my Wii games are also being neglected, though I make an effort to complete the game at some point. =P

I do have this habit, but I intend to overcome it over the summer! My backloggery page has my banner, which shows all of the games I intend to beat in order to catch up.
After that, THEN I'll buy new releases...

I'm working on a game that's coming out soon!

I still have about 50 games that I never even opened that are just stacked in my closet.

I signed up with backloggery and then got depressed, chances are I have more games new/sealed/unplayed than everyone that has posted in this topic, combined.

I can't even BEGIN to imagine buying games without playing them to the end (unless they suck). It's just ... not possible.

The best strategy in the game: go up stairs and pause balls.

I think the same exact thing. If your gonna buy a game, you might as well get your moneys worth by playing it.

Lol I do that all the time to and not just console games I do that with PC games as well. I have Neverwinter Nights 2 which I think I only played once for like 3 hours or so. I just bought Super Street Fighter 4, and Tekken 6 and havent really touch them yet. I got Punch Out!! for the Wii last year and played it once and got passed King Hippo and than got sucked into another game. Mostly I buy them when they are a good price on Amazon. One of theses days I will get to them....... I hope.

I have 74 retail games across four platforms and I probably play one game a day. lol

Then I have another 30 or so downloadable ones and I never play those. Most are VC games I purchased because I thought it'd look nice to have them.

Ummm Yeah I wont go into VC, Wiiware, and XBLA games that I purchased and havent played yet or very little.

Yeah, I tend to do that a lot. I've now vowed to not get another game for a console until I've beaten all the games I have for it. The problem is I don't know even where to begin.

I still have some Wii games still in the shrinkwrap, and even one Gamecube one (Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles). Not because I don't want to play them, it's just that I don't have a lot of time to play them anymore.

EDIT: Actually, I technically have two sealed Gamecube games when you count my boxed Donkey Kong Jungle Beat with the bongos. I still have yet to open that.
