Got 179 games on Steam, but that's padded out by humble bundles so I don't feel overwhelmed by that, physical games are another story. Got about 1000 I'm trying to go through them all and get rid of the crap and the ones I'll never play again but it slow going and I haven't even finished the 8-bits yet.

No, but let me just say that if these case were to fall then I'd be seriously injured by Nintendo and Sony cases. XD
As for Steam games I only have like 20, and the only ones I truly care about are the Fallout games, Oblivion GoTY Edition, Sonic Generations, and Audiosurf. There aren't any other games that I personally want for my Steam since those games are the only ones I need. Man I love the mods for those games.
The only thing that truly sucks for me is that my Let's Play channel and the projects causes me to not be able to play the games I want to play for too long before I have to go back and record.

Yes I have 100-200 Steam games so much that I've almost stopped buying many genres especially 2D platformers. When the Summer Steam Sale comes up I'll refrain from buying as many titles I like until I clear some of my backlog away.
That said physical console games are different since I have rather niche and wide tastes I buy a few games every month just because if I wait until I'm ready to play them I might have to buy from collectors and resellers. That and the fact some games I want to buy near launch to support the dev.
I've only had a PSP & DS for under 3 months and I already have about 50 games and there's still 20 or so I want to buy.
Damit and I haven't even bought a PS3 yet, lol.
Then again that's why I'm in no rush to buy a next gen X180 / PS4. I'll be happy with my backlog for atleast a couple of years to come once I've bought all that I want from this gen. (most of them are on console keepers and timesinks not 8hour SP FPS', my PC is for those type of games)

I put all the ones I want to play in my favourites list, and play them alphabetically. Right now I'm playing the new Hitman. After that I have Legend of Grimrock to play and my backlog (on Steam at least) is completely dissolved.
Just gotta get through (or at least try) Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 with their expansions, and The Walking Dead. EDIT: Also want to play FF12 again on the PS2. Then I'll wait and see what else I can pick up on sale (preferably Skyrim and Dishonored).
All of this before the tidal wave of games coming this winter. Good god.

This problem has been growing and growing for me for years...to the point of absolute insanity at this point.
I have entire game systems that I have tons of games for and have never gotten around to playing at this point. Why? Because there are good games on the system, I want to eventually play them, and I can't help picking up games that look good when they are on sale.
I have both the PsP and DS game systems for instance. Probably around 50-100 games on each one...mostly RPGs, Action RPGs, Action games etc. I've played oh maybe 20-30 hours MAX on either system....the concept was great...have a portable game to play....the reality? When I was out and about I would read instead of playing a handheld game. Heck I even read books on my PsP instead of playing games.
But I still thought...eventually I'll play them!!
Then I got an Ipad a year ago or so. Now I do actually play games when I'm out and about sometimes....but it's on my IPAD!!!
So yeah, Like 100 games I own that I probably never will actually get to right there.
I still have a good 40+ good games...some really good games, on for my Ps2 that I never played. Now I did play hundreds of good games on that system, but I did have a backlog that I never caught up on. Then came the Ps3 and Xbox 360....I was doing fairly well keeping up with them for the first year or so, but in the last few, sales (especially chrismtmas sales) and game stores/video stores going out of buisiness and having huge sales have led me to buy tons of freaking games for both system. I have honestly played maybe 4-5 games on my xbox 360 all together, I've played way more on my Ps3...but I have a freaking TON of games to play on both systems that I havn't touched..and probably won't get a chance to with new systems coming out soon. That doesn't even take into account my large # of games on Xbox Live Arcade (they had a special that let you get 1500 microsoft points for the cost of 500 normally...so I bought most of the games in the arcade at 1/3 the normal price)...and of course all the games I either bought on PSN....or got for free from being a PSN_ member.
That is just the consoles though....Steam, GoG, Humble Bundles etc have bogged me down with freaking tons.....hundreds...of PC games waiting paitently for me to play some day. I have over 100 still waiting to be played on Steam alone...and yep, the Summer Sale is just about to start....I have way too many games already but you better believe I'll be picking up more on sale.
I'm also waiting for a few games that will be out soon.....I can't wait for Shadowrun Returns for instance....and I'm looking forward to Kingdom Hearts 3 (even though I still have never finished or even gotten very far in Kingdom hearts 2...and any of the versions I own on my DS and PSP (like 6 or something).
So yeah...I'm overwhelmed...and what is worse...it makes it hard to actually finish any game...because once you get to the part that winds down..where there isn't much new to the game, I often get bored now and try something else. I don't have the patience for long games that are repetative or require grinding, instead I get distracted by a new game I am playing at the same time...and the other one gets played less and less till I stop all together.
Right now I am playing.
Original Sega Shadowrun game. Penny Arcades Precipice of Darkness part 4, Prime World Defenders, Knights of the old republic part 1 (on ipad), Knights of Pen and Paper +1 (on Ipad), Sword of the Stars The Pit, Nino Wrath of the White Witch (on Ps3), Arcanum of steamworks (from GoG) and I'm keeping up with new flash games (espeecially TD flash games) on kongregate and armor games.
Each of those games have a current save game that I have played within the last 3 days. I'm having a hard time going back to Penny Arcades game though...it's not as fun as the first 3 to me, and I have gotten bord with it by the third tower....Gonna try and force myself to finish it though.
I also want to start playing Xcom on my Ps3...since it's free right now...but I need to finish up my current frun on Sword of the starts first..and either finish or give up on precipice of darkness. Also almost done with the original shadowrun..which I was just playing to tide me over till Shadowrun Returns comes out (got delayed a month).
Too many games....makes any one game harder to really enjoy...at least for me.

I have a heroi... Indie bundle addiction. I just dropped 30 bucks on more than 50 games and that's counting steam alone. I used to be a bit more wary of purchasing indie bundles, until I played Dungeons Of Dredmor. Ever since that game turned out to be everything I ever, I started buying more indie game bundles to find the little stuff that I didn't think I'd like, but was pleasantly surprised at. I still buy damn near every bundle that comes my way that I can afford on a meager $30 a week paycheck.
Do I feel overwhelmed at my 150+ steam games? No. I feel overjoyed that I have so many. It's the console games that all my friends own that gets me a bit overwhelmed. I want to sit and play a console, and I'm bombarded with too many boxes, and no idea WHAT I want to play.

I have close to 200 games across PC, 360, PS2, PSX and Gamecube. I've played just over half of them.
The thing is, I'm a serial replayer and I have a hard time getting into new titles. It's like I get too immersed in a game's universe and have trouble adjusting to new environments. I'm trying what I like to call "Indie Therapy", where after playing something deep and time consuming, I'll relax with a few short games or try out a few early release titles.
e.g. I recently played Just Cause 2 for like a month. I then tried to dive straight into The Witcher. I wallowed in the depth and bailed out. So I wound down by playing Little Inferno and FTL. The only problem there is that I lost interest in starting The Witcher over and I've now started playing Rome Total War for the millionth time whilst trying to get the hang of Kerbal Space Program.
So in conclusion... having too many games is great but also confusing. And if it all gets to daunting, turn the screen off and pick up that novel you stopped reading 6 months ago.

A little bit, especially with my PS2 backlog. For every game I finish I seem to purchase two or three more. Some I've been dragging along for years without never really touching because of all the hype or the fact that it'll take me ages to finish (the Final Fantasy games, for instance).
Nope. My crappy internet has locked me out of any and all online gaming, much to my chagrin. So I have no problem beating everything in my library. Although I do have quite a number of games.
Crapple iPhone 4 - 9 games
Compaq Presario 7000 Craptop - 4 games
Nintendo Funcube - 11 games
Nintendo Wii 180° - 4 games
Nintendo TriDS - 17 games
Nintenderp 64 - 22 games
Sony JoyStation 3 - 22 games
I used to be seriously big into MMOs. But I can't play them anymore and it makes me so upset. So I just play one of those other 88 games o' mine, instead.
(the grand total is 89 but one of them is an MMO I play when I go to a friend's house, so it doesn't count) Although technically, a few of those are Collections, so it's actually 96 in all.

Yes and no?
One half of me is all 'Oh God, I'm never going to play all of these'. The other half is 'Don't care; need them all'.

My backlog makes me cry a little at night, both the physical one and digital one.
Also I'm running out of cash to pay for them all.
Right now, (while I don't have a job) I'm getting through as many as possible but my love of JRPGs shall be my downfall.
Seeing only three of my games and knowing it's about 150 hours worth of gameplay is daunting.

*looks at 150 games on steam*
*looks at 45 games on gog*
*looks at 4 games on origin and 12 games sitting on shelf*
hell no!
actually, i do get the "fuck..school and work are being anal bitches right now, i won't get through half of these new games by the end of summer.."
which thanks to kickstarter, i have another 6 games on top of everything coming in the next year, and i KNOW i want to play those until my fingers fall off.
so yes and no, i don't regret 99.9% of those purchases (fuck you mass effect 3) but it is a bit daunting to look at sometimes.

Yeah, it can be pretty bad. I've got loads of games to finish like Darksiders 2, Ass Creed 3, Star Wolves 1, 2 and 3, Crusader Kings 2, the new content for X3: Albion Prelude and Eador: a broken world but I spent all last night playing the StarSector alpha. Just as I was going to bed I saw that The Secret World was on offer and I bought that as well.
I think what I need is to be involved in a really bad car accident that mangles my legs up real bad so I can take several months off work to get all caught up.

I'm a bit overwhelmed by the number of JRPGs I have...I'm kind of in the middle of moving (only not right this second because complications) and only have a fraction of my JRPGs. Sure, I've beaten Final Fantasy VI, IX and, X but that still leaves me with Final Fantasy I, II, V, VIII &, XII...and Legend of Dragoon, Pokemon Leaf Green, Paper Mario Thousand Year Door, Blue Dragon, Dragon Quest VIII, The Last Story, Xenoblade Chronicles, Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger and, Wild Arms...Those are just my unbeaten JRPGs...that I have right here right now and not counting the ones in my home-to-be (complicated).
That's not counting the action games, horror games, puzzle games, compilation discs (those fucking compilation discs!) etc that I still haven't got to the end of yet. I do make some progress though...I just beat Donkey Kong Country Returns yesterday. I'm also on the verge of fighting the Elite Four in Leaf Green (I consider beating them to be the ending and everything else after to be post-ending content). Also, since my Xbox Classic decided to be a dick, there's one console's worth of games I don't have to fucking worry about for a while!

I have 182 physical games both for handhelds and consoles and 21 downloaded games on various systems. It's a lot but there is a decent chunk of those that I don't play often if not at all, but I keep them around purely for collective purposes.
I make sure to finish one game at a time, unless I get more than one all at once, so I don't have a backlog at the moment.
There's a group of games I replay a lot so I rarely ever feel like I have nothing to play, or too much to play.
