If you are like me, then you have a lot of games in your collection that you have yet to play. How do you go about deciding which games to play? Do you just play what you feel like playing? or do you have a set order that you play games in?
I try to play series of games in chronological order. As in I won't play a more recent game in a series until I have played its predecessors first. When I decide to play a series of games, I will try to throw in a random game or two in between each entry of the series to break up the monotony. This way I won't get too tired of the series I'm trying to play through.
Sometimes I get hooked on just playing PC games, or handhelds, but for the most part I like to vary the platforms that I'm playing my games on.
When I'm at a loss and I have no idea what to play next, I use a program called "The Hat". It's a random generator program. I have the names of all of my unplayed games in a text file, and I just copy it over to the program and it picks a game for me. I've found that doing it random like this kind of makes it a little more interesting since I never know what I'm going to end up playing next. I actually haven't used it in a while though.

If you decide to check "The Hat" out just be careful since it installs some additional software as well, but it can easily be removed.
