What I mean is when you turn on your xbox, how do you decide what you want to play?

I usually check my friends list to see what their up to and if there is anyone i wanna talk with/play with i'll hop on that game or i'll just play what i feel like which lately has been Madden and NCAA. I kind of want NBA 2k13 but i just bought RE6 so i'll prolly have to wait on that.

How do you guys decide?

Usually I am focused on the game that is in my console. If I get a new game - DING!! - I have to play that one. Sometimes I just need a change of pace so I take a long look at my shelf and try to decide what game / achievements do I want to re-attempt, or if I find a solution to an achievement on TA that I hadn't previously tried, I have got to try THAT one.

Usually, I don't play unless I think to myself "I'd like to play [whatever game]." So I don't choose a game... the games choose me.

I'm a slave to my friends! I don't really like playing games on my own anymore (Gets boring). It always comes down to what my buddies want to party up on.

At this point, it's whatever games I need to finish achievements on. Friends that are online are also a factor to this.

I play one game at a time unless it gets boring, I also have to play a new game the second I get home with it or download it. If I don't have anything new I just look for a game that needs to get done or that I miss playing.

I usually have in mind what I want to play before I turn on my Xbox. On rare occasions one of my friends will be online and invite me to play CoD or GTA before I can play whatever it was I turned the console on to play originally and I will do that instead.

Once I'm done with a game and need to play another, it's usually a factor of which one has been on my shelf the longest. (I still own at least 3 games that haven't seen the light of my tv screen)
