I count a backlog as stuff that I'm not yet finished with. Whether or not that's completed or just "done with this now" is up to the game.

That's more meaningful I guess; Metro is pretty short but I'm still not 'done with it'. I was 'done' with Dead Rising after 15 minutes. :)

I finish the vast majority of games I buy, often 100% completion on max difficulty. Although I agree on Dead Rising, I lasted about 8 hours before writing it off as unplayable. :)

I only have a 'backlog' when work / research / etc starts sucking up all my time, in which case the last couple of games I bought prior to this happening sit around unopened. This has been the case for the last six months, where the only games I played were Hawx 2, Bad Company 2 and the DLC for Mass Effect 2.
