I had a pretty effective system, but it's starting to fall.
What are you guys' categories, if any?

I separate my games by franchise or sometimes by developer if I don't have enough games in a franchise. For example, I've got all Valve games in on category, all Source mods in another, all indie games in a category, and then games like Assassin's Creed, Fallout etc have their own categories.

With that said, because of the ugly Non-Steam Game page, I used Grid Mode 90% of the time.

0-9 as one catagory and A-Z as 26 other ones.

Steams category system is so bad cos you can add only 1 game at the time and then it jumps back up. Im using only Recent games, installed and all games libraries.

Right now I'm rocking the old school "alphabetical order" categories with each letter getting it's own category and my "currently playing" and "all time favorites on Steam" residing in my "Favorites" category right at the top. (I've only recently gone to the alphabetical system so not all of my games are sorted, currently all of my 202 installed games are sorted while less than one third of my 159 uninstalled games are sorted alphabetically)

I'm liking this system better than my previous ones (those included: Genre, Developer and the Steam default sorting order), searching by first letter actually seems a bit easier for me than searching with previous systems for something random to play.

I'm not even joking. I have it set up like this so that I'll actually notice when a game is having a free weekend. I've tried separating games into actual categories in the past, and never could get used to it. It's so much easier when I can just scroll to the first letter in the game's title.

I just have it sorted by genre, but I'm not crazy about it. I can't look fondly on the games that I've loved, and I can't categorize some games properly anyways. Maybe I'll just create some categories relating to my interest in the game. Some of the games are just filler from bundles that I may never get around to playing.

Favorites - Games I have beaten or played enough (Buy a multiplayer game for 5 dollars, I need 5 hours and then it goes into favorites [Less than 2 dollars requires 2 hours of play before it goes here])

Currently playing - Games I am trying to beat at the moment (Helps me stay committed to a few games and won't get distracted!)

Must beat - Any game I haven't beaten or put in enough hours (Pay 40 dollars and only play 15, can't put it into Favorites until I play 40)

Useless/Beta - Stuff that isn't a game or betas (Arma X is just soundtracks and stuff, not a game, goes here)

Is this using a mod? I'd like to separate mine by what has achievements and what doesn't =(

EDIT:
Nevermind - found the 'set category' option. Never saw that before =p

I don't use categories, without the ability to assign 1 game to multiple categories, this feature is useless as far as I am concerned.
