I'm not exactly tracking them (except for how I have them organized in my Steam Library) but lately I have been looking up which games are shorter and am playing through those first. I don't have much time per week to game anymore sadly so being able to finish games quicker keeps me interested more.

I dont care if I have a big or small backlog, i play what i want when i want, wont try to force myself to finish a game i dont feel like playing

I check in on that sometimes, mostly to mark games as completed, but have never considered it a tracker. I suppose you could use it as one if you only have Steam games though.

I have a spreadsheet where I list all games on my backlog, and each game receive points according to the criteria:
If the game is considered mainstream or indie (usually I leave mainstream games with +2 points);
How much I desire to play it (there are 4 levels, going from 5 to 12 points);
How much time to beat (according to howlongtobeat) (there are also 4 levels, from 8 to 12 points - longer game has less points);
If is the first time I am playing the game (+ 10 points);
If I have the game (+5 points) (Well... there are some months I play a game I do not own, so this is kinda useless now);
The nice thing for me is that I can change the weight of everything according to my preference at the moment, so it fits my mood any time.

I think of it as not handling but more of fondling my backlog.
Works for me.

A question for those of you who, like myself, have an excessive backlog of games:
What do you use to keep track of your games? What do you like/dislike about it?
