It used to be C, but now it's so very very B (I'm sure I have close to 100 games that I haven't even installed yet, let alone started, plus about 10 currently in-progress).
Unless Firaxis releases a game in which case I temporarily switch to A.

I tend to focus on one game until I beat it, but with the shitty quality of most recent releases, I can't focus long enough to, and end up returning em to blockbuster first.

C, with a caveat. The primary game could be any genre, but the secondary games are almost always strategy games (EU3, Crusader Kings, Civ4bts, SMACX) which seldom get played to completion but aren't really 'casual' in the normal sense.

Poll added as requested ;)
Personally, I suffer from MASSIVE Class B gaming ADD. I own 25+ retail 360 games plus a stack of XBLA ones. I've finished less than ten of them. It's been like this on every platform I own for more than ten years. Very, very rarely, something like Metal Gear Solid (1) happens, which I bought on a Saturday morning and finished at 40something hours of playtime by Monday evening.

C, mostly. I've been buying games quite a bit lately, but I find that if i focus on all of em at once I tend to get the control schemes confused. So lately it's been mostly Dead Rising with some XBLA games on the side. I almost always finish the games I play (if I like them, that is), but it often takes months or more.
And I don't play games that cant' be finished at least in some way. So no online RPGSs, no Team Fortress, no internet play of any kind. really. I used to have a gold subscription to Xbox Live, but discovered pretty early on that playing Gears of War with a Web full of moronic 14 year old boys isn't the most fulfilling way to spend one's time.

B with a concerted effort to switch to C.

Kind of C, I guess. Except that I pick three or four "main" titles and swap between them sporadically.

Color me faff, transitioning to a C. I
still haven't finished Thief 2, which means I "can't" play Thief DS yet. Last night, I actually had to draw up a 'game queue' so I could make myself line everything up and
actually work to finish games that I have in progress.

What is that app right there? That looks interesting.
