How do you tackle your backlog of games?

Growing up, I was only able to play Nintendo games. I got a GBA & Gamecube in elementary school, then a DS & Wii in middle school. I primarily played Pokemon & Zelda. Last school year I started to "game" on my iPod Touch, which got me into the less kid-friendly games. I graduated from high school this year, & received money from family members. Having more money than I had ever had before, I bought a 3DS & was able to build a PC for gaming/ school mid-summer. Feeling invincibly rich I picked up a few DS games I missed out on at my local used game shop. I soon discovered the glory of Steam & purchased a few games during the Summer Sale. Then the Halloween sale came along & I picked up a few more. I was even able to pick up a couple AAA titles that came out this fall (Skyrim, BF3, Skyward Sword). Then the Holiday Sale hit. Detailed below is my list of games I have yet to play to completion. My question for you is: How do you handle your backlog of games? I always read comments saying "I have so many games from Steam sales, I don't even know where to begin. So what do you do about it, what's your strategy? & for those of you who look over my list, where do you suggest I start?

PC:

  • Assassin's Creed II

  • Bastion

  • Batman Arkham Asylum

  • Batman Arkham City

  • Bioshock

  • Bioshock 2

  • Call of Duty 4

  • CaveStory+

  • Crysis

  • Just Cause 2

  • Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

  • LIMBO

  • Portal

  • Portal 2

  • Skyrim

  • Sonic Generations

  • Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

  • Star Wars Republic Commando

  • Transformers: War for Cybertron

Wii/ Gamecube:

  • Okami

TL;DR: I have a bunch of games (mostly from Steam sales) that I want to play but have never got around to. How do you tackle your backlog of unplayed games?
