In the Consoles: XCOM:EU or ACIII

In the computer for when GF is watching TV: Guild Wars 2 or Football Manager 2011.

Enemy Unknown is great. Faf, I do the trick to avoid the crap boast to stats aliens get from "classic" but retain the greater numbers that make the game more fun.

Classic amount of aliens on normal roll rules? yes please.

I've also been playing XCom pretty much exclusively, though it comes out when the wife wants to play Lego Harry Potter. 

I've never played an XCom game before but I really like it - it's kinda like a much more badass Civilization game.  And I started on Classic because screw hand-holding, I'll sink or swim on the game's own terms.

Boarderlands 2. One of the longest games I've ever played if you include the side missions. I rarely pay full price on a game, but  Defiantly worth the full price.

I just love how the captured that sense of attachment from the first X-com game to your squad, if you play on ironman. The ability to custimize your squad members coupled with peremadeath is amazing.

Example: I am realll protective of my Squad member named after my Girlfriend. which she thinks is hillarious, she ask's after her.

I also get actually depressed when I lose a squadie that I've built up a mental backstory for to a dumb tactical blunder. Makes you feel like you, as the commander, are respnsable for the death of this little digital person.

I was ticked the other night when I lost my best assualt trooper, Rajon Rondo, when 3 guys missed 65% shots to hit and a beserker murdered him. RIP my 20 mission 39 Kill murder machine....you were the best of us.

 But that's Xcom and I love it.

XCom Enemy Unknown on the PS3 quite addicting gameplay.
I've heard good things about the remake, and the original was a classic.

Me, I'm stuck in the Middle Earth right now (Lord of the Rings Online).
I played LOTRO when it was first out for about a year, got bored once the progression stopped entirely.

X-Com: EU is awesome, a bit short and easy on normal but classic and impossible are very challenging and a ton of fun.

When I'm not playing that its Borderlands 2 or Dark Souls (finally got a copy cheap as a present for myself for passing some tests)
In the meanwhile, LOTRO has gone to L85 and all the way to Rohan. Also, a lot of the content has been adapted to be soloable.

Borderlands just doesn't look like my cup of tea.

I've had my eye on Torchlight 2 for a bit, but can't really find motivation to play a multiplayer game with open servers. Although I guess it's what you make of it.

I also remain hopeful for the enhanced edition of Baldur's Gate.

Dark Souls has sucked me back in yet again...I got the DLC expansion and am fighting my way to the point where my 2nd character can get to it.  Lot easier this time (which means it's still pretty hard).  I'm told the DLC will be brutally tough, though, so I'm looking forward to that.

I've also got the Walking Dead game (the downloaded TellTale game, not the apparently awful shooter) on queue, and will probably pick up Bioshock Infinite to kick off the summer.

I switch between Skyrim and  Black Ops II.

Skyrim I have 3 characters: An over powered Pure Mage(i cheated :D), Sneak Assassin, 2handed Warrior tank. Different play styles keep this game fun, almost impossible to do everything,and new DLC :D.

Black Ops II: I pretty much despise the game, but it's the flavor of the month with my online multi-player friends. The spawns in this game flip constantly and it feels like enemies are coming out of your back pocket.

Bioshock: Infinite still continuously blowing my mind, and I'm always playing a ton of NBA2k.

MyPlayer Antoine Walker just landed the cover for Style Magazine after a few hot weeks. Update of the b button being a gather-move has really reinvigorated me.

MyPlayer could still use some work though - went to the GM after winning rookie and player of the month for the second consecutive month I asked for Jarett Jack to be traded and the GM refused, but was willing to trade me.

I use to play a lot of video games, but I haven't really played any for probably a decade.  I think the last 1st Person Shooter I played was the original Max Payne or Half Life.  I've played a couple PC games here and there at Lan parties like the latest Tribes or Battlefield 2... Played LoL for a month.  Otherwise... very few games.

My girlfriend convinced me to buy Bioshock: Infinite so that she could watch me play it.   I've been playing it for a few days.  Pretty fun.  Games have come a really long way.  It's so much like a thrill ride now... like exploring a huge virtual theme park.  Unfortunately, I'm playing it on a PS3 and it's been a bit of a challenge for me to get use to controlling a 1st person shooter with a gamepad as opposed to a keyboard and mouse.
