Right now, I have 5 games I'm playing regularly:
1. League of Legends. Still my most played game of the past year by a wide margin, it just doesn't get old. 57 Champions and counting.
2. Borderlands. Totally hooked on this right now. It's not a perfect game, I wouldn't even give it a 9/10, but the simple fact is, sometimes you don't want to push yourself while playing... sometimes you just want to load up 4 guns and cap a few guys in the face. Mindless Diablo-style fun. Love it. Like gaming fast-food.
3. Bioshock. Yes yes. I haven't beaten this yet. Stfu. It's going to happen, it just takes me time.
4. Starcraft II. This game will surely be #1 or #2 soon. Holy crap, it's amazing. I played some 'Toss fool last night, and just as expected, he tried to rush Void Rays... only to lose because his one void ray and 3 stalkers couldn't handle 25 zealots pounding his base.
5. Team Fortress 2. This game is just impressive. I cannot believe how much love the dev team lavishes on it monthly. New updates are keeping it fresh and challenging.
Games I need to play soon: Mass Effect (1 and 2), Oblivion, Fallout 3 expansions (haven't touched them yet), a couple others.
Games that are upcoming: Mainly Gran Turismo 5, although Fallout looks phenomenal.
1. Counter Strike Source - I've been addicting to Scoutznknives for 5+ years.... that's ONE map!
2. Dragon Age: Origins - Amazing game... still enjoying it.
3. Battlefield Bad Company 2 - still enjoying it..
Eventually this will change, but for now this have been my most played games... I've considered buying the new Worms game, I used to be terribly addicted to Worms2 back in the day.
Sport games
Geez, I forgot about BC2. I've been playing that a lot, too. And I need to play Counterstrike again... scoutznknives IS an amazing map. And maybe pick up my M16 and play CoD4 again.
*sigh* Too many good games out there.
Dragon Age. I still need to get back to my me2 insanity playthrough. I recently started a second Oblivion playthrough, but I don't play it. I just wait until I'm too drunk/tired/burnt-out to effectively play CoD and I load up my uber-leet mage and travel around to all my houses to look at all my uber-leet collections of stuff. I've been into that for a week or so. Speaking of CoD, I finally put down mw2 and started playing CoD4 again. God, it's so much better.
You haven't played Mass Effect 1 or Oblivion? Obviously, you don't need me telling you to get on that.
If only there were 48 hours in each day huh?
nba games
and mporpgnever got into wow cause cant afford it, but cant wait for diablo 3
Have been: mw/mw2, mlb the show, PES 2010, WE9, NFL 2k5, MK II
Will be: NBA 2k11, PES 2011, (new) Mortal Kombat
Exactly.
I have played Oblivion, and I got about 8 hours into Mass Effect, and then just stopped.
You have phenomenal taste in sports games. Those are two of my top 3 all time.
1. WE9
2/3 (tied). NFL 2k5, Tecmo Super Bowl
Currently playing:
1. Counter-Strike: Source (PC) - God damn I've logged in a load of hours in the past 2 weeks. I stopped playing CS in 2006 but bought it on sale in June. I forgot what a legendary map de_dust is.
That is all.
Games I own but never started:
1. Killzone 2 (PS3) - Never get past the first 10 minutes before I have to stop.
2. MGS4 (PS3) - Stopped playing an hour in, need to find time before gets hectic next month.
3. Bioshock 2 (XBOX360) - Don't know why I can't get myself to start playing.
4. Splinter Cell: Conviction (XBOX360) - I may never start this game with the in front of it and the games soon to be released.
5. Portal (PC/XBOX360) - I know.
Castlevania 1, 2, and 3
Battletoads
Arch Rivals
Blaster Master
Xexyz
Metal Gear
Maniac Mansion
I have an NES emulator on my phone, and I play them on the train to/from work.
If it weren't for the licenses in PES nowadays (Champions League, Europa, and for 2011 Copa Libertadores) as well as Become a Legend mode, I don't think I'd touch the next gen PES's. I still play the crap out of we9 though, tons more stadiums, players slots, and better overall feel than any fifa or next gen pes.

As for NFL 2k5, my damn Action Replay for xbox hasn't worked for about a year and a half, so I'm still using the rosters and schedule from a couple years ago (using flying finns rosters and such). But it's still the best football game out there. Being sold for around 59 cents last time i checked.
Dude, play Portal. Immediately. I beat it in a day.
As for my answer to the OP's question... sadly, none. Classes just started in my first year of grad school, and between course work and TAing, I predict a thick layer of dust will be forming on all consoles and controllers. This breaks my heart.
Otherwise, I've most recently been playing Super Mario Galaxy 2. Not terribly exciting, but Gamefly sent me nothing but selections from the very bottom of my queue all summer.
just got mafia 2 but i played it a good 5 mins and that's it. i'm not much for playing video games. however, i'd play the out of nba 2k10 but not by myself and if i still had xbl access.
I just started classes this week as well and between that, work, and the gym I just can't bring myself to turn on my PS3 either. I had a few hours last night where I could have and I just zoned out while watching a movie on netflix on my laptop in bed instead.
I feel that. I just finished grad school (technically this is my last week) but my gaming went down considerably in the 2 years I did my Masters.
I'm starting a one-year program that will probably be less demanding than my grad program, but I'm also taking on a part-time job. I should still have more free time in general. I will clear Portal this weekend, though.
none with school just starting back up. i'll be playing on weekends mostly. on weekends i will be playing Black Ops (if it's as good as i hope it will be), and Christmas break i'll buy New Vegas and spend hours playing that. o yeah, Halo Reach will be a game i'll buy as well and probably play a lot of that on the weekends. those are my big 3.
Truth. Very, very short game that is just plain full of awesome. I replay it all the time in one (short) sitting.
Civilization 4: yeah, yeah, yeah...still. September 21st cant come soon enough.
BC2: I played the out of it when I first got it, havent played it in weeks, though.
I just replayed and finished Dragon Age recently, yet I still refuse to buy one expansion. Dont know why, so dont ask.
I then immediately went back to Fallout 3 to try and finally finish the damn thing. I still havent "beat" it and I still wont buy an expansion, either. Honestly, and I know I am going to get ripped for this, FO3 isnt all that cool to me. Its a well done FPS with a pause feature (VATs). An expansive landscape thats literally uninhabited (unlike Oblivion) and once you hit a certain level or a combo of skills, youre unbeatable. Im literally yawning my way to the end as everything I shoot dies in one or two hits.
After I beat that, I'll go back to Dragon Age for a Rogue playthrough or ask my brother for RDR back so I can beat that.
One way or the other, I will find myself spending a majority of my time playing Civ 4, though. Until 9-21-10 that is.
Really? Are you playing it on hard or very hard? That game wasn't incredibly challenging to me, but it wasn't totally easy, either. I had to shoot things 3-4 times, even with a plasma rifle, near the end.
The thing that sets Fallout 3 apart for me is the fact that it's an actual RPG. Rather than watching scripted action unfold the same way, you have an active part in the way the game plays itself out. To me, that sets it apart. The fact that it is really well-written and has a huge area to cover with a slew of interesting places to explore just makes it that much more replayable.
Seriously though, if things are dying that quickly, you need to up the challenge.
1. Socom FTB for the PSP. I lost a lot of my life to this game. Used to play for at least 12 hours when I was on Summer Vacation a couple years back.
2. Fallout 3. I've had multiple characters with over 100 hours.
3. Elder Scrolls:IV. Same as Fallout. Since I was a bit late to the party, I didn't play this one as long
New Vegas seems like it's going to be more for you, Reign. i don't know how big it is, but with the Vegas not hit by nukes, it's probably going to be more populated. they're also fixing the fp combat. my complaint with it in Fallout 3 is that it's clunky and not smooth. they're going to give it a COD feel for New Vegas.
Cry is right about highering the difficulty. it's a waaay harder game that way.
I don't fight the difficulty in games like Fallout. The combat system in that game is so rudimentary. Why fight relatively limited controls in addition to your enemy? I'd say the same about Mass Effect 1, but the squad based, real time strategy mitigates the argument at higher difficulty. Nevertheless, just go along for the awesome ride of the story and character; the point of games like Fallout isn't to make you scrap and die over and again until you get it right. Save your technique for Veteran CoD4, any true FPS, Ninja Gaiden and 2-d platformers.
