The obvious answer is Solitaire. I think that's insult enough without explaining it.

Finished Mafia 2 earlier in the week. Was a great follow up to one of my favorite games of all time. The ending left a lot to be desired and it seems a lot was cut out to be DLC (Booo!) but it really immersed you into the characters and setting. The music and voice acting were perfect and the missions were not extreme and felt like things a mobster would actually do.
Now I am onto the most angelic and my most anticipated game of the year!

Just polished off Majesty 2 and its expansion. Really enjoyable. And yes I could not do the last mission in either one. So "Polished off" really means "ragequit in frustration" Probably going to start C&C 4 because I actually spent money on it, and yes I cant stand the EA shit but I miight as well finish the thing before I uninstall it, and use the disks as a coaster and/or prop up something unpleasent.

I found the last mission in Majesty 2's expansion less enraging than the last one in the base game. I only beat the base final mission once, the rest of the time I totally did the ragequit thing. I'm playing City of Heroes, of all things!

Hmm.. decided to try <game title intentionally left blank so certain people don't think I'm picking on them> and got really nauseated. This hasn't happened since my last time playing HL2. Game wasn't bad. Cutscenes and acting were cringe-inducing, but the actual game looked promising.

For the last 2 weeks, way too much WoW. After the slow boredom and grindiness of LotRO, it's quite enjoyable. Even the grindy bits are less grindy and more fun than LotRO.
Wanted to play some more Borderlands, but the General Knoxx DLC makes you drive for 20mins each time you pl;ay before you get to the quests, and wanted to do the 2 Army of Two DLC missions. But, you know.. WoW...

Started playing Sin and Punishment 2. Pretty awesome. The pacing reminds me a lot of the better games of the 16-bit era, no filler or stretched content.

Thought about going out and picking it up after Bioware fucked up on the PC version of the ME2 DLC. Decided to play some Burnout Paradise instead (after finishing up the Witch Hunt DLC for Dragon Age).

Still on my world tour of games that I never finished.
I did get through ME2 and Red Dead Redemptionn last week. Both awesome.
I think Demon's Souls might be next...either that or FF13. Also playing 3d Dot Heroes with the kids.

Just curious, what is the ME2 DLC fuck up on PC?
On topic: I was finally pulled back into WAR, it's come a LONG way from when it started and is actually quite fun. It feels really weird saying that about WAR. Also, I'll be having another run through with DA:O and ME2 soon enough for the new DLC.

They fixed it later on that night, but when they first uploaded it in the morning, it was a 1.5 gig file that contained nothing but zeros. Think it took them maybe six or seven hours to fix, but in the meantime their forums were pretty much flooded with bitching. Probably the best DLC pack they've done for any of their games yet though unless you count Stone Prisoner (since Shale is awesome).

Thanks. Now I'm glad I chose to wait a bit before picking it up then.

Working on Red Dead. Kill a bear with a knife... sure, would have done it last night except the chicken-shit bear led me on a merry chase which ended in me being attacked by another bear and a boar at the same time. I can't believe I fell for it. I also can't believe Marston, baddest dude since Frank West, can't use a knife from horseback.

Since getting engaged and dealing with life, a future wife and three future stepdaughters I haven't had time for much gaming. When I can steal some time for myself it's been Dirt 2 on the 360 and Starcraft II on the PC.
Dirt 2 is a hell of a lot of fun, and gorgeous, but I wish there was a little more track variety. It also took some adjustment for me to get used to it since I'd been playing so much Burnout Paradise and this is a game where just keeping the gas pushed to the floor is a recipe for failure.
I'm enjoying the hell out of SC2, but I'm still only about 7 or 8 missions in. I've come to the conclusion that DoW, CoH and newfangled RTSes aren't for me, but the old school formula still works. I won't ever play multiplayer, but the campaign is more than worth it to me.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero ate up my gaming time last night. Should do the same tonight. I'm trying to be good and not achievement whore what is basically DLC/paid demo, especially since I might get DR2 on the PS3 (unless there are problems with it).
Looks like my eventual resub to WoW is being delayed. The horrible nature of the FFXIV beta hastened that some.

Good idea. That's something I've never played. Ordered it through the amazon link up top. Kinda hit a wall with EQ2. I recall now that I hit the same wall the last time I played. I get to a new zone, get started by grabbing all the quests, then realize I'd rather be doing something else. With the population being mostly at level cap, there's not much chance of getting into a level appropriate dungeon group, which would break up the monotony of leveling. I'd rather not get powerleveled as I like to see the world and grow my character over time. PvP would be nice too. Anyways, had a fun couple of weeks playing it. Time to do something else.

I spent something like 8 hours yesterday installing Oblivion and about 8 gazillion mods.
Still playing this. Really, it's almost a whole new game, I played at release and got a character up into the 20's but never finished it (though I did do some mods). I think this play through will have a lot more legs. It looks great, all the petty annoyances seem to be fixed or mitigated and there are all kinds of interesting things going on. Right now is probably the best time to play Oblivion if you haven't before or, like me, only at launch. Well, if you aren't intimidated by a lengthy, arcane and potentially hair pulling mod install experience that is.

Surely there is some sort of mod manager app at this point?

I'd like to know as well. Might reinstall it if they sound good.

There are a couple, Oblivion Mod Manager is the defacto standard. And if you use mods that affect the same area or objects you will need to use Wrye Bash to solve the conflicts but they are mostly painless if you can follow directions. Mod List:
