MasonicGamer.com: Take a look around your game collection and honestly how many of your games do you actual play more than 4 or 5 times a month?
I can honestly say that outside of work (reviews etc) and from my vast collection I have 4 games that I turn to on a regular basis.

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.

I love collecting, but it isn't for everyone, I tend to have a bit more disposable income than others do, I've collected more this generation than any other, with almost 250 Xbox 360 games, 75 PS3 and 75 Wii games, I've enjoyed this generation very much.
20 for generation not more; I like complete the games. In cases like Killzone 2, GT5 or Battlefield, their multiplayer is very deep and I can play for weeks. Also games like Skyrim, GTA, GT5, Dead Red Redemtion, Infamous, Mass Effect and Uncharted the singleplayer is amazing and I repeat the campaign.
ive got at least 40 games from this generation and I would have to say after a while. it begins to give some confusion to what you want to play lol
I agree. This guys "work" is video games, but to the average person, life dictates how much time you have to play. Unless you have no life there are not always enough hours to spend getting to the next level. That is why sometimes for me I like a game that I can just pop in and spend 20 min to an hour having FUN. Sure I would love to spend 6 hours a day on a game(and right now I have been on Monster Hunter Wii U, as often as I can.). What I do is have "Marathons" sometimes so that I can dedicate my day or weekend to gameplay.
I have a friend that is so pasty white,and has no girlfriend/boyfriend, because all he does is work and play video games. That to me is sad.
Anyway, this is why I am very selective with the games I buy. I have a life, and friends. I want the time that I have to play games to be FUN. I can not dedicate 40 hours a week to video games. I will say that since Wii U came out, I am now using a console more than ever, as it is an amazing way to surf.
So many people buy games, but never finish them. What a shame. That used to be the reason we bought games.
I usually have 2-3 active games at any time because I can only play 3-4 hours a week most of the time. In all honesty I can probably only manage 2 at a time.
Granted right now, I've got about 7-8 that I need to finish or actively play with some of them being GOW: Ascension, Tomb Raider, AC3 (still haven't beaten it), Halo 4, BF3 and Injustice with a few games I shouldn't have purchased but still need to beat since I spent 60 on them in Crysis 3, the GOW: Saga and Spec Ops the line (all good games but just not needed atm)
I tend to trade my games in when I beat them unless they are a great SP experience or a MP game I love (Mass Effect series, etc.)
