Let's see:

PS3:
Assassin's Creed
Uncharted
Splinter Cell Double Agent (Target Clearance Pick Up)
Tiger Woods 07 (Target Clearance Pick Up)

Xbox 360
Mass Effect
Stranglehold (Target Clearance Pick Up)
Blue Dragon (TRU Clearance Pick Up)


All because of that COD4 multiplayer! Damn you CALL Of DUTY!

I'm at 9+ but the more important number is the games I have yet to play in my collection, which is probably at 20-30 out of 130 games.

11, here's the list...

Viewtiful Joe 2
All-Pro Football 2K8
Forza Motorsport 2
Virtua Tennis 3
Call of Duty 3
Top Spin 2
Fuzion Frenzy 2
The Godfather
DiRT
Flatout Ultimate Carnage
Bully Scholarship Edition

If I added in the games I have opened but haven't yet played/played enough the list would be absurdly long, probably another 15 games.

I used to be this way, but I managed to catch up. I've basically played everything I have, with the exception of like two games. I got Heavenly Sword via goozex and I haven't even put it in the system yet. I got Assassin's Creed for Christmas and I barely even got into that before it gathered dust on my shelf. I too blame COD4 multiplayer for this problem.

Oh, and Khondor you really need to play Uncharted. Its a great game. That is, whenever you get a chance to beat MGS4.

Do you even really like most of the games? I don't understand why people collect games...just to collect....what's the point?

I honestly can't think of 130 games on the 360 worth playing, not to rag on the 360 or anything. In fact I doubt I can think of 130 games worth playing when all of the current gen systems are in the equation....

Pretty much a ton of them. I just noticed yesterday that I have unopened copies of Syphon Filter 1 and 2, sitting on a shelf. Oh well. They'll stay fresher that way in case I ever decide to play a 3rd person shooter that has been surpassed in every measurable way.

i am at 9 plus, all from Target clearance pickups

All right. This is starting to get on my nerves. Why is it acceptable to collect books, movies, comic books, coins, stamps, action figures, hats, shoes, cars, girls, or anything else in this world except for video games? Games are fun to collect because they're fun to play. It's fun to collect things that you like. It's kind of the point of collecting anything. Why make fun of something that people like to do? Does it hurt you in anyway? Do my stack of games cause you pain in anyway? If not, shut the up. I'm tired of people constantly whining about people collecting games when we're on a site called Cheap Ass Gamer.

People looked at baseball cards as a horrible thing to collect but many cards from the 50s are very valuable now because not enough people treated them like collectibles. Now, a Mickey Mantle rookie card can command five figures at auction. A Honus Wagner T-206 goes for much more.

One reason I have so many games sealed is because I like to pick up clearance games even if I don't have the time to play them now. I'd much rather spend $8 on a game that I'm going to play in six months than spend $30 to run around and find an out of print game that no one has cheap. If it's still in my collection a year later, it goes on my trading list. If it doesn't get traded, I give it as a present or sell it on craigslist. Why is it a big deal if I like to collect games anyway?

Zero, once I get the game I open it and play it.

Mass Effect-- I don't know why, it's a great game.
Shadow of the Colossus-- I re-bought it.
Oblivion: Shivering Isles-- GF gave it to me, then my PS3 broke and I lost my 60 hours of Oblivion and all of my interest in the game.

Well I'd rather not sell a game I enjoyed for so little and then end up buying it again in the future. There are a few dozen games I wouldn't mind trading or selling, which is why I have that tradelist.

This is not the thread you are looking for

None! WOOT. I did unwrap and play DMC4 until the 4th level, but then stopped. It's just sitting there until I'm 100% done with Ninja Gaiden 2.

Um, zero. I buy games to play them and I only buy more if I don't have anything new to play. I'll never understand why people buy so many games that they can't get to them all. I'd rather have money in my pocket than a game on my shelf.

My reasoning is this... all the games I have in my "backlog" are games that were what I considered incredibly good deals for brand new games that I couldn't pass up. I got Bully for $14.99 new, DiRT for $20, Flatout for $5, The Godfather for $8, etc, etc. I'll eventually play all of them but I don't currently have the time to play them. You may find that odd, but I enjoy playing and collecting games and if I see a great deal on a game its hard to pass up.

sure, by the time I beat MGS4 im sure MGS6 will be in production
as if I didnt have enough to deal with playing TF2, COD4, Battlefield:BC, and UT3. Now you guys have dragged me kicking and screaming into GOW multiplayer,
and this is with COD:WaW, Left 4 Dead, Legendary, and GoW2 just around the corner.

I have 3
Oblivion GOTY
Splinter Cell DA
and MLB the Show 08.

I still haven't opened up BioShock or Kameo.

Sealed, i have:
-Odin Sphere
-Contact
-Children of Mana
-Enclave
-Burnout 3
-SSX On Tour
-Nfl Head Coach
-Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble
-Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
-One of the ../hack games, 3 i think, those names are so damn long

And then, for some reason, i also have a bunch of games that were new, i opened them, and i still havent played them: Super Mario Galaxy, No More Heroes, Oddworld: Munch's oddysey, Magical Starsign, Blue Dragon, Baten Kaitos: Origins, Persona 3: Fes, Overlord, probably a few more i can't remember now. I have a lot more that I've bought used and haven't played, something like 50+.

EDIT: Well, today, i went to two stores i haven't been to in a while (Circuit city and TRU) and ended up with 3 more sealed games i won't play for a while. MGS 3-$5, Samurai Warriors 2-$8, and Nights: Journey of Dreams, $14. So i guess i'm up to 13.
