If you're concerned about backlog, tackle it now whilst you still have a chance. Some of us are beyond all hope.

Well, sooner or later someone will suggest this (BLAEO). Maybe take a look there and decide if it could be something for you. You can visit the connected site and take look around there. But you need to comment in the discussion if you want to be active there yourself.

Blaeo

BLAEO indeed!
It's a Steam group and a website dedicated to helping people with their backlogs, I can't speak for others but it's helping me a lot :)

I'm gonna suggest Grouvee, since I believe this site is not frequently mentioned.

Basically, it's like Goodreads (or My Anime List, if you're familiar with it) but for games. You can link your Steam account there and also manually add games you own from other platforms as well. Games can be categorized into different shelves as you'd like, and there's also a 'Tell Me What to Play' feature based on your current Shelves and Filters. It may not have the best interface, but Grouvee still works quite well for tracking your backlog.

I use Backloggery for my complete game collection, to keep track of it, and seeing how much of it I've (not) beaten.

Another shout out to BLAEO! It's been great to be in a group of players with a similar mindset. Being in the group has also helped me to stop collecting free/cheap games, and only get something that I actually want to play. There are other backlog tools around, but they give zero motivation to actually play your games.

Checked your list. a lot of great games.

Best for me are:
Alien: Isolation (It's hard and awesome)
Spec Ops: The Line (great story)
BioShock Infinite (again awesome story)

My recomendation is for The witcher 2

Go for:

• The Slaughtering Grounds (Almost forgot: it's Christmas time, not the time to troll people into wrecking their sanity)
• Lego Marvel Superheroes. One of the better/funnier Lego games in a long list of them.
• BioShock Infinite if you want to stick with FPS'es
• Or Shadow Warrior 2013, which is a lot more action-packed than Bioshock.
• Darksiders
• FTL if you crave an addictive tactics game

How can you not have CoJ Gunslinger as a fan of shooters? IOvoI7
Try XCOM!

I try to play as much I can, but not enough time aaand, I'm an achievement hunter, so this also keep me busy to play more games D: but I'm doing a better progress after I joined Backlog Assassins Website

From you library, I'd suggest Bioshock Infinite (and is a must to play Burial at Sea ep. 1 and 2), the story is just amazing and will surprise you, I believe so :3
Borderlands is nice to play with friends... and is really fun
Darksiders is a great hack 'n' slash
Hell Yeah is a fun and nice platformer game.... I love the art style and gameplay and it is really fun
And hmm, Trine 2, awesome game, wonderful visual and interesting puzzles (should be better to play with friends, but I played it alone and is also fun anyway)

I hate bundles and sales because well... I just can't play em all, drives me mad.

Make a list of 20 games you have the most interest in playing, and only play games from that list. Add new games you buy, but don't buy them unless they deserve a spot on that list. Remove games as you finish them. Ignore the rest of your library.

i barely buy anything for myself, so yes, i tend to play those game because i really wanted them.

I try to play through as many as i can but not enough time

said people of sg with 3000 games while buying 5 bundle packs per week.

I like to use Pick a Game (http://pickaga.me/) to make a recommendation for me.
