[General Discussion] One game at a time or multiple games at once?

Gah, I have a horrendous backlog. In fact, I am selling some older titles on Ebay that I never really touched, unloaded about 5 so far... My problem is that I buy new games when I haven't yet beat the old games I have. I've vowed to stop doing that when it comes to console games. PC games are few & far between these days until fall when the big titles like UT2k7 or Bioshock come out, so it's not really an issue on that front.

For me, when I try to play too many games I can never keep the stories straight (RPG's), the moves straight (action/fighting), or the mission objectives straight (adventure). However, when I try to plow through just one game, that can get old. For example, I'm playing through Zelda: TP and even though I feel it is a superb game, I just get tired of it, especially the dungeons that take so long I fall asleep halfway through them.

So, to keep this from happening, what I'm trying to do now is play 2 games at a time, one RPG-ish title and one action-style title. I'm counting Zelda: TP as both, since it's an action/rpg and I hope to finish it soon. After that I'm going to combo games, such as: Jak & Daxter/Shadow Hearts 2, God of War/Resident Evil (GC), MGS3/Disgaea. It's good to have variety in your gaming diet, but I've found too much variety is bad as well. Once I start buying games without beating/playing the ones I already have, there's nothing to stop me from buying more games. I would rather truly appreciate the games I have; otherwise I end up appreciating nothing...

Jam it back in, in the dark.
