This past month I bought many games. These games include: Persona 3 FES, BioShock(PC), Mario Kart Wii, The Orange Box(PC and again for XBox360), Lost Odyssey, Gears of War, Halo 3, and GTA IV.
So far, I've only beaten BioShock and Portal. I'm 10 hours into Persona 3 FES, barely even started Lost Odyssey, Gears, or Halo. I'm 1/4 into the 100cc tracks in MKWii, halfway through Half-life 2. I'm buying games faster than I'm beating them. Hell, I only have 25 stars in Mario Galaxy, and I bought that when it was released!
And don't even get me started on the Virtual Console and XBLA games I've downloaded...
I'm looking around and I realized I've only beaten about 10% of the games I own. I'm excited for new games coming out, yet I haven't played through the ones I already have. I've made a vow to try and beat as many of these games as possible this summer.
Yeah I hate when I buy all these new games and I've yet to beat the ones I've gotten a month or two ago. I bought P3: FES last month, and still haven't beaten it, yet I've bought Odin Sphere and Rogue Galaxy and I'm expecting to get MGS 4 next week. Not to mention that there are a lot of games I have that I've yet to beat, like Halo 3 and SMG. I remember buying Bioshock a few weeks after launch date and just barely beating it only a few months ago. I suppose I was just lazy on beating that one.
Man I totally understand! Yup, too many games is better than too few, but oh, the stress! ;-)
Seriously it does suck to have gaming compulsion but little time to indulge. Wish I had a free summer, but I work 6 days a week....but good luck with your gaming! :)

a problem would be not having any games to play.

Yeah, good luck on getting that done. Also, your avatar really did make me lol. As in out loud.
@ MrSadistic: Yeah, I played through BioShock and expected it to be longer. CoD4 is taking me forever because I'm punishing myself on Hardened mode.
