How do you go about clearing your backlog? (self.games)

Interested in seeing how other people approach their backlog. I’ve finally made a list of all the games I want to finish, and I’m forcing myself to play one of them a day for at least an hour.

As an added incentive, I’m forcing myself to wait to finish a backlog game before I can buy a new one. I’ve got a lot of playing to do between now and October.

I recently finished two games I've had for years (God of War: Origins Collection, PS3). My process is to plan ahead, categorize my games by genre. When I'm in the mood for a genre, I'll narrow them down to one game/series & play as much as I can. when I'm bored, I'll move onto another genre, that way I'm not overwhelming myself with the same types of games. of course this means I have a lot of half-finished games as well. Try to finish games when you can before starting a new one. I often switch between long & short games to avoid monotony.
