I'm in Korea, and yeah, MMOs and Starcraft, though these days the latter is losing some of its popularity to LoL and DotA. Street Fighter and Tekken are big as well and there's still a bit of an arcade scene in the bigger cities. The ubiquitous PC Bang (pc Internet cafe) is starting to lose favor as people realize that it's cheaper to just have a machine and a decent (try best in the world) connection at home. My 100 Mbit connection costs about $30 a month and includes a couple hundred TV channels.
The kids are playing a lot of mobile games, but mostly on Android. Samsung - as you can imagine - is very popular here, much more than Apple. (Why, I'll never know, since Samsung actually charges more for their products in their country of origin than elsewhere. Captive audience I guess. That and Koreans have this somewhat misguided tendency to believe that if something is expensive, it must be good.) When I say kids, I mean kids, I've taught third graders with nicer phones than my iPhone 3.
Consoles are minimally popular here, but slowly gaining. The PC has always ruled Korea, though if you look hard enough you can find the occasional Playstation Bang where you can sit down and play some Playstation games. This generation saw the lifting of an embargo (due to unresolved animosity between the two countries) on Japanese imports, so more games are making it here than ever. The Wii was the first Nintendo console to be released in Korea as far as I know.
