Does anyone have a good spreadsheet or program for keeping track of there game collection. What games completed? What order to play? Random play? etc? etc?

I feel i need to get a bit more organized and start completing games=) Plus I would like to keep track of what I own, where it is located, etc. This is much needed since it is spread over three hard drives, steam, origin, desura, gamestop, etc.

Any recommendations for keeping track of things would be great. Thank you.

Backloggery maybe? It's web-based, I believe it does most if not all of what You mention.

I use VGCollect, but then again, I work there so I'm a little bit biased.

A non biased opinion would be Backloggery though.

I use a custom spreadsheet. One sheet for GOG, one for Steam, one for bundles. Highlight yellow meaning they're next on my queue, green means I'm playing it, dark gray to indicate I completed the game.

Thank you both, I will take a look at both. Basically at this point anything will help...i honestly believe there are times when i sit doing nothing wondering what I should play=) I have completed plenty of the games in the past, but that was before I had 2 kids and have been married=) Although I did put 2500 hours into Guild Wars and ran 10 characters through the game and grabbed a good majority of all the titles and what not. But I am staying away from MMO's and would like to start actually tackling this collection of mine.

I just need to keep on track and jump into a game and not sit in indecision with what free time I do have=)


edit: I also thought about something similar mondo84, but I feel I will overcomplicate it if i try to create a spreadsheet from scratch...such as adding in too much information or going overboard=)

You may want to look at GC Star it has templates for various collectables (Video Games, Movies, Books...)

Sounds simple and handy. Need to do something similar to especially as to what ive bought and plan to get lol

Darkadia

You can search from them as they use the same database from Giantsbomb and the owner said that you can add a game they don't have then you tell the own of Darkadia and will come up their as well or might happen automatically after some time.

Turbotax

I have a spreadsheet in Google Docs for this purpose..

I do mine in a more traditional way.

I download everything at purchase and dump it onto an external hard drive.

Edit: GCstar looks interesting, I may try it out to get my stuff sorted also.

I have a personal spreadsheet but I got the format from Backlogger.

thanks for the idea!

Backloggery, as mentioned, is pretty useful. But also a bit scary, especially in Holiday Season. I used to have my backlog under control but due to the recent sales I became "Minion of Bak'laag"

I too am working my way up the hierarchy but we must be careful lest we succumb to vanity. Have you seen the Heralds yet? These most favored disciples are truly gods among impulsive purchasers. We are not worthy.
