    I switch between different games pretty regularly. There's never one game I'm playing at any time; except maybe for BF3. I've been playing alot of that recently.

    Way too many, I only really stick with one game if it somehow hooks me. My back log is 100s so I'll never catch up and just be able to play one game at a time.

    Well if you stop playing you get the best ending in the game.

    At my age now which is 40 I am having trouble playing a single game.  I have been able to have some fun with Saw for the Xbox 360 the last few days and hope to complete it before moving onto anything else that has a story.  In between playing this I played some Indie game on Xbox 360.  A basketball game I can't think of right now.

     

    Soooooo with all that said I can play more than 1 game at a time but only 1 game can be story driven.

    However many my hard drive will allow at one time. Currently I have five installed but I'm focused on Deus Ex at the moment. I'm also trying to play Far Cry 3, Dead Space 3, Dishonored and WoW.

    I play one good game at a time until i finish it, then buy another that might interest me. If i buy a chunk of games at a time, i completely lose my commitment for a game, because i get the urge to switch back and forth, and eventually get bored of every one of them.

    Right now I'm on a kick of finishing off older games in my library that haven't been completed. I just tackled (in the recent 2 weeks) Saints Row: The Third, Torchlight 2 (though I'm working on my 2nd play through), Bastian and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (single player).

    Right now I'm working on.......Borderlands 2.

    Usually I bounce through a handful of games, but I just want to clean up my library right now.

    I swap between a few, but I consistently always play Dota 2 no matter what.

    I can't play more than 3 games at once. Anymore than that and I have to keep checking the options menu to remember the different keys.
