Hmmm, LP2? I enjoyed the coop demo, but it felt a little underbaked and the recent multiplayer deathmatch demo stuff was pretty terrible. But if the coop is as fun as you say that's probably enough for me. I spent many an hour playing Resistance 2's coop.

Unplayed? nah. Unfinished??? Loads.

I think I have at least 50 NES cartridges that I haven't even played, aside from maybe 10 seconds to make sure they worked when I bought them. It's only gotten worse each generation.

What do u mean? In one sentence u mention a huge amount of very old games and in the next you say it gets worse by each gen. Do u mean your unplayed NES games increase or all games?

My problem is unfinished games that I take a break from and haven't been able to work my way back to. This happens to me particularly with JRPGs. I just went back today and played Tales of Vesperia for the first time in months, but this will be rather shortlived because all of a sudden my friends are giving me stuff to play, (Dragon Age expansion and Batman: Arkham Asylum) and I just bought the GTA DLC. So right now I'm vowing to only buy maybe three more games the rest of the year, because I have so much stuff to play right now, it isn't even funny. And that's just on the Xbox 360, not to mention the DS, or games that I'd like to replay at some point.

I get addicted to games that I probably shouldn't (Magna Carta 2, Brutal Legend, FF XIII) and they really take away from the 5-star games I should be playing. Took me months to finally play Mass Effect 2 and I bought that game on day 1! Had Assassin's Creed 2 since February and I just started it last week. And then, I bought Splinter Cell Conviction and Mario Galaxy 2, yesterday. The situation keeps getting worse.

Haha, you're crazy like always. But the thing we really want to know is how big is your collection of unplayed games. And how many of them do you still plan to play through (and how many have u given up hope on).

I made a list a week or two ago.  I'll try to dig it up.  It was pretty huge!

Here's a copy and paste from a thread from last month--since this thread, I've bought SMG, Splinter Cell, Ninja Blade, and a few other games that I can't even remember. I've beaten Mass Effect 2, though:


Using the 7th and 6th gen as a reference (these are the only gens where this became a problem) and looking at my collection (100% hands on accurate for those two gens), heres the list of games that I need to finish or at least start (and some of them suck so I'll NEVER play them again):

Xbox 360

Ace Combat 6 (never even tried it)

Assassins Creed 2 (never tried it)

Bee Movie (was pretty fun until I got distracted)

BioShock (Day one purchase. Didn't really like it but I know its a good game)

Blue Dragon (was enjoying it until I got distracted)

Dead or Alive Xtreme 2: (I was horny and it was $9)

The Orange Box (Only finished Portal. The best game that I haven't played)

Infinite Undiscovery (really liked this game. quit because I didn't want to walk all the way back to the beginning of the game for some quest)

Kung Fu Panda (Came with my 2nd 360. Was fun. Quit for no reason)

Playstation 3

Dead Space (great game that really needs my attention)

PSN

Grandia (will get some playtime, VERY soon)

This post is already too long so I'll leave out the DS, Gamecube, Dreamcast, and PS2

After starting Muramasa only 3:

- Little King's Story
- Spyborgs
- Battalion Wars 2

Lots unfinished though (actually, almost all my games).
