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 don't really have a strategy about it, I just think about what games I really feel in the mood for playing at that time and pick one. If I don't have any that come to mind then I'll browse through my shelf/list of games and see if any spark my interest.

The only kind of rule I put on myself is that I wont have more than two games on the go at the same time (aside from multiplayer games) otherwise I know I'll just end up getting distracted and not finishing any of them.
