The games I've been playing the most the last few weeks have been:
Minecraft
Unreal Tournament (1999)
Frontlines: Fuel of War
Star Trek Online
Somewhat rediscovering UT after not having played it in about 6-7 years I've realized how much I love that game. Just about everything about it seems perfectly tuned to stimulate my pleasure centers.
Awesome music, fascinating level designs, great weapon selection and the greatest mod system I've ever encountered in a game. The later UT games seem to have tried to hide the mod/mutator support somewhat - in the original UT it's very easy to find, simple to use and experiment with, and ridiculously easy to install new mods to.
all my time for the last week and half has been used to go through Mass Effect 1&2, ME1 for the first time and second time for ME2, and i am maybe half way through ME2 with a play time 55 hours for both games.
but before that i finished Halo reach, Enslaved, MoH and played through MW2 again for shits & giggles along with doing some specs ops.
And i have Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2 sitting on my desk waiting.

What did you think of ME1 after having already played 2? I played them in order both around the time of their original release dates and kinda want to go back and play 1 again now, but I'm afraid it will be too painful now.
@YoctoYotta: i now regret letting not playing ME1 when it came out, it was absolute great game. i didn't like the on planet stuff at first but i got use to it and after that it was ok. the story of ME1 really pulled me in and as i played i could see all the changes and plot elements in ME2 as played it, and that made we want to play ME2 again with my import character these games have really left a mark on me as a gamer, and i can not wait for ME3.
- Team Fortress 2 - offline practice. New player and wanted to get the classes down before I take it offline. Still having fun just playing with the AI - Alan Wake - haven't been playing much recently but only have two chapters to finish so at some point I'll finish that one off - Civilization Revolution (DS) - this goddamn game is still chewing up an embarrasing amount of my time. The best toilet game I ever owned (also good for brewing tea)
Games I'm Sorta Playing
- Demon's Souls - been in my PS3 for ages without me touching it after playing a half hour or so, dying and then saying "forget it". It still calls to me. I love fantasy RPGs too much not to give it another go. - Split/Second - have it on rental, played an hour or so and had an absolute blast and haven't touched it since. Hmm. - Professor Layton and the Curious Village - finally wanted to give this a fair shot, so sat down with it over the weekend and got through two hours or so.
Games That Are On Deck:
- Fable III - once I'm done with Alan Wake, this'll take up residence in my 360. Loved the first two Fable games too much to not get this one. - Amnesia: The Dark Descent - seems like a good late autumn game for late at night. Will spend some time with it when I get a chance. - Valkyria Chronicles/Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crank in Time/God of War Collection - really need to spend more time working through my back catalogue of PS3 games.
Fable III - Just made it to the end game segment, and I'm slowly losing interest. Sitting in a throne room making very binary good/evil decisions about the future of Albion is not engaging.
Fallout: New Vegas - Played about 30 hours so far, but I put it on hold for Fable III. I'm hoping another patch comes out before I pick it up again.
Rock Band 3 - The first music rhythm game I've purchased since the first Guitar Hero. Slowly working through the Pro Keys tutorials and trying to recall my guitar skills from the deep recesses of my muscle memory.
Super Meat Boy - I really love/hate this game.
Rhythm Tengoku - One of the only games I've ever imported, and it was totally worth it. Great rhythm game to pick up for ten minutes here and there.
I'm currently alternating between Espgaluda II and Mushihime-sama Futari. I play some Ikaruga, too, but not much -- I get bored of that game very quickly, so I can only play a credit or two at a time.

It would like revisting an old friend, oh Saren how I miss you.
Completed Killzone 2 in one sitting and really didn't enjoy it. Story was terrible and the characters just made me cringe. I spent 20 mins shooting the last boss only to realise he can't be killed till you kill off endless waves of enemies, wtf who made that design decision. Hopefully KZ3 might be more than a pretty shooting gallery and have someone older than 12 writing the story.
Played some AC2 just to get in the mood for AC3.
I haven't stop playing UC2 multiplayer since it came out and doubt I will stop till UC3 lol
F.E.A.R. 2, The Ball, TF2 + surprisingly a little Audiosurf and DoD:S. Waiting till I upgrade my rig to continue Splinter Cell : Conviction, AvP + Metro 2033.
I just bought Overlord and Lair Of The Shadow Broker DLC for Mass Effect 2, so I'll be playing that quite a bit. Might even do another playthrough. Fallout: New Vegas I just put down, but is still calling me back... TF2 is always there if I get bored... Starcraft 2 from time to time Civ V: I swear I quit whenever I want to!
Back half of Uncharted 2. Really enjoyed it so far, but I had to take a break because of school and shorter games. Started Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare co-op tonight. Not too crazy, but very fun. Planning to start the single player after I finish UC2. I am still determined to finish Dragon Age someday. Morrigan romance quest boss battle kicked my ass AND my next logical place to go is Denerim, which is a tad overwhelming. Almost halfway through Chrono Trigger on DS. Loving the story. Just got to the point where I have multiple time periods I can choose to go to. And looooots of Game Dev Story, Drop7, Monster Dash, Shibuya, SuperMegaWorm, Helsing's Fire,Pix N Love Rush, and Tilt to Live on my iPod, especially at the gym. And I still have to finish Starcraft: Brood War. But, I think we'll be living in Starcraft's universe by the time I finish that. (I SUCK at Starcraft)

you didn't ask me but .. I just went back and replayed ME1 through with an infiltrator and had a GREAT time. I like quite a few things about the basic shooting and RPG elements of ME1 better than ME2, after playing them back-to-back. I skipped all the minerals and tag quests and that helps a lot. Those were just silly time sinks.
anyway, so I'm playing: Super Meatboy - last boss, loved it Halo ODST - about halfway, it's O.K. but a little slow Fallout 3 - just finished, super fantastic RPG. My GOTY. Oh wait... heh Bayonetta - sharp smooth 60fps and fun arcade action!
I've been playing a lot of Fallout New Vegas. I'm starting up a new game of Oblivion. I started a topic on that also. I've just beaten Kirby's Epic Yarn and still working on Metroid Other M, just haven't played it in a couple of weeks.
