Creating a new playlist...

Once again the backlog has grown to overwhelming proportions and my nights of gaming are becoming less focused on playing something and more focused on "what" to play. It is a sad state of affairs when you cannot just sit down and game without regard. I find myself researching games and how horrible the collectibles are, how grindy the multplayer is, or how many tens of hours it is going to take to complete. Anyone have recommendations on where to start? I like to get as many achievements done in one playthrough as possible and loathe games with locked difficulties.
