...That list just makes me sad....as I have been totally inept in getting to this list.
 
My biggest problem with my backlog is not being able to pick out which games I want to play next. Since you already have a list ready to go you are ahead of the game in my opinion!
 
Silent Hill Origins
American McGee's Alice
System Shock 2
Thief 1
Grim Fandango

Metroid Prime
Resident Evil 4
Donkey Kong Land
Last of Us
 
1. Kid Icarus: Uprising
2. Earthbound (Wii U)
3. Dark Souls
4. Paper's Please
5. Gone Home
6. Rayman Legends
7. GTA V
8. Journey

I don't have anymore at the moment.
 
Dark Souls: I need to buy a fucking controller.
System Shock 2: I need to install some fucking mods.
Rome TW 2: my fucking PC can't handle it.
Grand Theft Auto IV: I'm lazy, I prefier something wackier like Saints Row.
Dishonored: I don't know why I even bought it.
Hitman (anyone): I've never played one, I would like to start from the first.
Splinter Cell: I played the first one and conviction, I would like to try the rest.
Zeno Clash 2: because ¡Viva Chile!
Knights of the Old Republic: I want to play it but it has aged bad.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: the same.
 
  1. ACIV
  2. DMC
  3. Alice: Madness Returns
  4. Resistance 3
  5. Valkyria Chronicles
  6. Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs

So lots of Japanese PS3 goodness and I'm stuck here playing Pokemon.
 
1.) The Last of Us
2.) Grand Theft Auto 5
3.) Beyond 2 Souls
4.) The Walking Dead
5.) Bioshock Infinite
6.) Rayman Legends
7.) Hitman Absolution
8.) Sleeping Dogs
9.) Infamous 2
10.) Halo 4

I can actually probably name 20 more. My backlog is ridiculous and I need to find some way to start playing and finishing these games, but with both next gen systems I don't know how. Maybe I need a gaming schedule lol. I have so many games I want to play that it's overwhelming trying to decide what game I want to play...
 
Heroes VI: Complete
Reus
400 Days
Tomb Raider
Metro 2033
Orcs Must Die 1 + 2
Batman Arkham Origins (started but abandoned)
The Binding of Isaac
Borderlands 2
F.E.A.R - All of them, came from a humble I think.

No PS4 backlog because it has no ga...new stuff I want yet.
 
1) SMB3D Land
2) Fire Emblem: Awakening
3) Etrian Odyssey IV
4) Ys: Memories of Celceta
5) Batman: Arkham City
6) SMT IV
7) Skyrim (lol)
8) The Walking Dead
9) Amnesia
10) Metro: Last Light
11) Witcher
12) Witcher 2
13) Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
14) Mass Effect 3 (just so I can fucking be done with it and put them all away)
15) DKCR 3DS

There are loads more...those are just the ones taunting me. Ys is likely next to be finished since I can't put it the fuck down, then 3D World, then Skyrim since the deal on Steam was irresistible and now I can finally play it nicely thanks to mods. Maybe after that it'll be the Walking Dead. Fuck, who knows?

I'm waiting to play all those short pc games because I'm waiting on my new gaming pc. My old card died recently and I can't play most pc games. Really looking forward to my new rig
 
Since I picked up Fire Emblem Awakening I've spent nearly all of my gaming time playing it so my backlog has grown quite a bit (especially with the Steam sale)

I'm glad to see we're limiting it to our top ten or I could just copy and paste my Steam library (damn you, Steam sales!!). My top 10 in order of those I want to play would be:

The Witcher 2
Borderlands 2
Super Mario 3D World
NSMB U
Guacamelee
Gunpoint
La-Mulana
Trine 2
Don't Starve
The Last of Us

I had to put TLOU in there, even though I have no desire to continue playing. So many people have raved about it. It has to get better, right?
 
Batman AA
Batman AC
Borderlands
Deux Ex HR
Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon
Psychonauts
Saints Row the Third
Scribblenauts Unlimited
The Whispered World
Luigi's Mansion 2

Mostly cheap Steam games, mixed with a bit of Humble Bundle and a 3DS game I got for christmas.
 
I have a really, really bad habit of buying games and not getting around to them for a long time, so here's mine.

1. Fire Emblem Awakening
2. Dishonored
3. Oddworld Stranger's Wrath HD
4. Ni No Kuni
5. Resident Evil Remake
6. Illusion of Gaia
7. Digital Devil Saga 1&2
8. Ratchet & Clank: Crack in Time
9. The World Ends With You
10. Tales of Xillia

...and more. I buy way too many games.
 
Well, my list isn't necessarily a backlog as it is a list of games I still wanted to give a tru. Which one do you guys think I should play first? No particular order:

Alice: Madness Returns
Alpha Protocol
Assassin's Creed IV
Bayonetta
BioShock 2
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Metal Gear Rising
Metro: Last Light
Singularity
Spec Ops: The Line


I've got a few more I wanted to try, but I guess these 10 would be sufficient for the time being.
