Space Legends: At The Edge Of The Universe - Below average hidden object game. Gameplay is not bad and some tunes are catchy but in general it's chaotic and not really interesting. The worst thing about it though is translation (the game was created in Russia). There are grammar and language errors in every sentence. I'm not joking, they're everywhere, even in hidden object scenes which means often you don't even know what to look for because it was labeled in a wrong way. I've seen in the credits that four translators were hired to do the job. I would do it better by myself. This game is only for the hardcore hidden object games fans. 4/10
Sea Legends: Phantasmal Light - Collector's Edition - Good hidden object game. I love the dark atmosphere, nice backgrounds, good music and very pleasant gameplay. Recommended. 7/10
Dreamscapes: The Sandman - Premium Edition - Amazing hidden object type of game but without hidden object scenes. Which makes it pretty much an adventure game. Anyway, it's extremely atmospheric, with great music (Sanitarium + Planescape Torment + Prince of Persia), awesome gameplay and beautiful backgrounds. It also has pretty nice cut-scenes. Voice acting is terrible though and lip-sync is literally a joke. But the game is really great, strongly recommended. 9/10
Psycho Train: Deluxe Edition - Good hidden object game. 7/10

You must be God if you know anything about my social life.
If you really looked at this threat carefully you'd see that there were not weeks but months when I didn't play anything. But it's better to jump to conclusions, I know.
I have free time - I play. I don't have free time - I don't play. Simple. To tell you the truth I wish I played 3-4 times more than I do anyway. But time doesn't allow me, sadly.

Dying Light, played all the way in coop, really can't understand why last mission was scripted for 1 player only, doesn't make sense.
It's a good and fun game if you like Dead Island style but it's not a masterpiece as many paint it.
I thought a lot better of the "build a shelter and hide for the night" or the "survive by building useful items"
7/10 I would say

Among the Sleep - Nice story, unexpected twist. Great atmosphere, with some slightly terrifying moments (not 100% sure as nothing really scares me). Very nice exploration game. Too short for the full price though. 8.5/10

Out There Somewhere - Small good indie game. It's a puzzle platformer similar to VVVVVV in style and mechanics. Also it has portals. The plot is very simple - so no fails in it :) For such kind of game and its price - 9/10
And may I ask you some questions?

You can do it in many ways. I took a black background 776x2512 and I also took a frame from one of the gaming websites (I basically took a small cover of the game they had in frames, filled the center with black paint and I was left with just frames alone). If you zoom in with Paint you can see that every game has a frame around it, they grey one. You can also see white vertical lines which also separate covers from each other so it doesn't look like they overlap (I've seen people do it without any lines or frames and it really looks like a mess). The frame is 110x110 so whenever I cut out a cover for the game (or sometimes I find it on games.gamepressure.com - if you type the name of the game you'll see results in squares, they sometimes have this frame and sometimes they don't) I resize it to 106x106 so it fits into the frame perfectly. So then I just open the file with collage, add the frame next to the last finished game and then put the 106x106 resized cover into the frame. Voila ;) It sounds complicated but it's really not. And you don't even have to do it my way. Oh and I use only Paint (to put it all together) and XnView (to resize).
I don't read books anymore really. For games I always had a file called "Games I've beaten on PC.doc" and I updated it right after completing a game so I wouldn't forget about any. I also add the cover to the collage obviously and rate each game I finish in this thread. As for movies I use Polish website which is similar to IMDB. It's filmweb.pl and I just rate there every movie I watch. But I also do it the same as with video games - the .doc file, not the collage. Collage of watched movies would be too much, way too much :)

Thank you very much for the detailed reply. So it's mainly done manually, ok.
For movies we have kinopoisk.ru here (not so long ago was bought by Yandex; may be this name is more familiar to you). What's really good about it is the possibility to export all the votes (in Excel-file, for example). As for working with images I can recommend you Paint.NET. It is small,easy to use and has lots of useful features.
I think I should start writing my progress in games/books at least in some text-file. Should have done this looong time ago.

Wow! You sure have a lot of gaming time on your hands, that's awesome! I struggle to complete games because I start playing co-op/multiplayer games with my friends such as Borderlands 2 and Payday 2 haha
So far this year I have only been able to complete:
And I have a lot of games in mid gameplay, I am aiming to finish Arkham Asylum before we July :]

Yes! I completed AC in a single week, a sequel that builded and improved on AA, I think AA is a great game but it's not enjoyable as the experience I got from AC :]
I started Witcher 1 so I don't know when I'll finish AA actually

I don't recall seeing this thread around here and I think it's a pretty cool one. You can either recommend someone a game or advise someone not to waste one's time on it. I'll start.
Mark Of The Ninja - A very good stealth-action game. It's like Splinter Cell but in 2D. Although I admit there were times when I was a little bit bored. Overall it's a very good game. Solid 8/10.
Edit:
Here's a collage of all games I've beaten over the years on PC:
