I also was a little disappointed with Unlimited. I mean I got the most out of it, despite paying nearly full price for it when it came out. My wife and I had fun taking turns and trying to be as creative as possible with some of the puzzles. However it was clear that the game halfted some of that cleverness by practically spelling out the solutions for us, and not budging when we tried something less than obvious. There were a few pleasant surprises though. Apparently adding the adjective Fertile to any being causes it to... well... have babies. And by babies I mean miniature versions of whatever you just hit with the adjective. Make a viking fertile and suddenly you have a bunch of mini vikings, beard and all. And I don't know if it has to do with keeping the number of objects per screen a minimum, but eventually those "babies" start killing each other off.
The games are at their best when shit goes wrong. I was trying to reach an object that was behind immovable steel and my thoughts eventually went to teleporter. So I made two, one inside, one outside, and tried using it.
Instead of teleporting me, it made Maxwell clones. I tried making one of them "thieving" so he would pick up the item I need, but instead he stole my clothes.
I have just over 120 titles in Steam. I need to take a month off work to attempt to play them.....don't even know where to start. How did this happen? Humble bundles, that's how.

There will be some in that list you won't want to play, trust me.
It is hard to know where to start, though.
Broken Age makes it easy for me. After that... I dunno, maybe Skyward Sword that I'm borrowing from my sister.
149, bitches! Though admittedly, some of those are packs (GTA, Blackwell, You Don't Know Jack) or episodic (Strong Bad).
42! And I've played most of them.
Do I lose?
Do I lose?
Yes.
52, but only 27 are installed. Really it's only 50 though, because TF2 beta and DotA2 beta are listed for some reason.
110. Most of which are played, I believe.
...WHY?! WHY OH GOD WHY?! Do yourself a favour and play 3 and its expansions
3 is, IMO, excellent. They really did it right....WHY?! WHY OH GOD WHY?! Do yourself a favour and play 3 and its expansions

Well, I've read all my Kindle AND iBooks purchases, so I regain the moral highground. HUZZAH!For the record (and as required by the Holier Than Thou Treaty of 1987), I should probably point out that my Kindle currently has 16 books I haven't read yet, many of which I own due to the Humble e-Book Bundle.

Having no books left to read does not gain any moral highground.
The ones I'm reading now are physical copies

I have one game that someone gifted me.
I haven't played it yet.
I haven't even downloaded it.
I really need to get my system reset.

Scribblenauts Unmasked: Fuck this game. I was on the fence and bought it for the DC stuff, but there are only 20 story missions. Everything else is the same shit as in Scribblenauts Unlimited, except the random passersby happen to be avatars of DC heroes and villains. That's irrelevant to solving their problems though. Also, sometimes when trying to solve a puzzle, a pile of heroes and villains pop in and start fighting, destroying an item or killing the NPC. And you can't just reload, because the puzzles are randomly generated, showing the game places more emphasis on collecting points than actually figuring anything out.
I got this to share with my wife, but if she wants a Scribblenauts game so bad, they just dropped to half price on the 3DS eshop and I'll buy it for her. This fuck-shit is going back to Gamestop and maybe I can get my money back. Their return policy says once opened, they can't, but it was opened when I bought it due to being their display copy, their last copy, so maybe they'll cut me some slack.
... HAHAHA yeah right.

Saints Row The Third. Got the ultimate edition via Steam Sale.
I really like it so far. It's a great looking game, it's funny, the combat is a lot of fun, and driving across the city with Pierce with both The Boss and him singing along to Sublime was a real character hook for me. Then assaulting the Morningstar Penthouse to Kanye West's "POWER" was superb. It's a game that revels in its own over-the-top nature and isn't ashamed to let you just go for it. Screw having to play through 2/3 of the game or cheat before you get to the good stuff. Also, I love that the special weapons FEEL special. The Decker Specialist's Shock Hammer? I love walking right up to one of their vehicles driving up with reinforcements and just dropping the hammer on it - KA-BOOSH! Or using the Brute Minigun to mow down successive Brutes and just waves of reinforcements.
I'm definitely going to wind up putting well over 100 hours into this one.

3rd was an improvement over SR2 in every way but length, unfortunately. SR2 was a long, epic narrative done on a bad console port, but 3rd is a great PC title with only about 8 hours of story (before DLC).
And yeah, the weapons are all neat and great but for some reason I ended up sticking with dual wielding two of the cheapest, earliest SMGs you get, because once you fully upgrade them they set people on fire.
Also for extra comedy my "boss" had the zombie voice.
