Want to play ME2 again, need to run through Bioshock 2 again. Also playing Dirt 2 on and off, ignoring the cheesy dialogue and general "Red Bull dude, extreme!!!!1!" presentation, the gameplay is stellar even on my crappy keyboard. The game is just flat out gorgeous and fun to play.

But for the time being, I am 100% committed to Napoleon Total War. It's everything I wanted out of Empire and then some.

It's not a A++/100% game in my view but it's so much better than the last release that I'm completely in love.

Oh man I have too many games.

ME 2 : 2nd run through on insanity/Renegade
DAO : 2nd run through on Nightmare as a rogue/assasin/duelist
League of Legends - so addicting.

Then I have like 8 steam deal buys that I have dabbled in including:
Titan Quest - almost beat the first campaign as a assasin
Mount & Blade - barely played it
Torchlight - barely played it
World in Conflict - barely played it but not sure I like it.
Company of Heroes - great game but have not played in a while. about halfway through the first expansion.
TF2- I think I am finally done with this. Got annoying since the Soldier add-ons or maybe I have played too much.

I should also mention Oblivion. I wanted to try and replay it with some mods and holy crap there are mods that totally change the game since I played it 2 years ago. Installing the mods I would venture to say is an adventure in itself - I still have alot of work to install some more mods that I wanted to try. May just sit on my computer - too much time involved :)

In terms of playing time, Heavy Rain got the majority of my free time the last couple days and then LOTRO before that.
I wish that wasn't a PS3 exclusive. I really want to play it.

As for me, I am currently playing:
Team Fortress 2
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Assassin's Creed
Sinking Island

Little bit of Titan Quest, but not as much.
Some Grid.
Some Wings of Prey. Actually, lots Wings of Prey.
Some old school Starcraft.
Tried getting back into Mass Effect but that game is just so tedious the 2nd time you play it.
Lotsa Dawn of War 1, and expansions. Wish they had made more in-depth campaigns instead of the lame "Conquer the Globe" shit. Also wish they had more factions and more in-depth factions. They jumped over to DoW 2 a little too quickly.
Been trying demos on Steam. Supreme Commander 2 did not impress me.

I played it for 1 hour and got bored of it. I realized "why the hell am I playing this?" But it's a lot like diablo, everything in that game is like diablo 2.
Other people like it though.

I think I am going to fire up The Witcher this weekend. Since my TF2 is borked and I realized after reaching level 18 in TQ that I still 52 levels to go to reach the end of the game (way too long of a grind) that I'll try something that looks to have a cool story.

Be prepared. If you are the kind of person that has to complete everything, this game is going to take you forever... not that that's a bad thing!

To the OP, I can with confidence recommend BF:BC2 now. I've been playing non stop for the past few days and it's a really fun game. Server browser is still pretty iffy though, it's under a lot of load right now. And there's too many damn snipers!

Interstate 76 off GoG. It's every bit as awesome as I remember, but I still get stuck at the same place I did ten years ago, at the jump in the fifth mission. It's kind of a pain to get it working, and it doesn't really work completely right, but it's good enough to play.

I'm a bargain hunter. Got loads of unfinished games sitting around.
Just finished Mirror's Edge.
Now playing Half-Life on hard, just reached Xen. Hard difficulty balancing is poor, forces you to a retarded creeping/peeking style and abusing AI instead of rewarding fun and varied tactics. Should have played on normal instead but won't restart now.
