Categories - what do you use?

[SirFur]

Hey folks,

Just recently began using categories.....depsite having had steam for quite a long time I hadn't realised they existed.... ooopsy...and I had been desperately trying to find some way for me to keep track of my games.....tried online places like Raptr but the darn websites don't have 'finished' buttons lol....and backloggery is a little 'plain' to be honest. Anyway, I'm relatively-ish content with using categories and just wanted to share and discuss what we all like to use.

I have the following:

Favourites - for games I keep coming back to, or play on-off eg. TF2, EVE online, Civ 4

Currently Playing - games I'm working on playing through

Finished - includes multiplayer games that I have played to the death or enough of to have moved on from eg. Alien Swarm, UT 3

Mastered - games I have gotten 100% achievements, or played through fully twice or more eg. Doom 3

MAC - for all the extra MAC copies of some games

Shelf - games I have played or tried previously and haven't managed to complete or no longer wish to continue playing or games I'm not likely ever going to play as they were bought as part of a pack - eg. ARES, GTA 1, Crysis Wars, CS:S Beta

Unfinished Business - games I played previously and want to play again to (usually aiming to finish or at least play more of it)

Worthless - games I regret getting and are imo crap eg. Irongrip-warlord

Games/Backlog - games yet to play of course.


What you guys think?

Nice just saw GTA 2 in there - have that in my unfinished business bit - hehe - fired it up lately after I got the GTA pack!

its not that much - only 50k - couple of green level missions nets you 40k easy and you inevitably end up running over a few people and into cars earning some cash along the way hehe. I tend to drive around in a taxi - and take a fare around hehe!

Of course if you know where the tanks are a ride in one of those will set you back nicely to do what you like in that area for a good while!

i have mine categorized by genre (puzzle, puzzle/platformer, fps, rpg, etc.) but i REALLY REALLY wish steam's library would allow for multiple sets of categories. ie. i'd love to have categories for "all achievements obtained", "year of release", maybe even developer/publisher, etc.

I'm too lazy to categorize my games

Dont play

default sort: all games
Because by scrolling down my list, I could find another game to play...spontaneously
