I'm still plowing my way through Tales of Phantasia (GBA). Still a tremendously fun game that bodes well for the rest of the Tales series (of which I own in its entirety, but have yet to play through). I've recently passed the 50-hour mark, and I'm close to finishing (one doozy of sidequest left, and then the final castle).
Wife and Friend: Our Thursday-night Rock Band (PS3) continues. Got the plane and opened up North America, and we're working our way through there. We're concentrating more on stars now (~1100), rather than fans (stalled at 2.4 million) so we can finish the game and move on to RB2.
Still chugging away at a Space Marine campaign in Dawn of War: Soulstorm. I have one more territory to take before I can take out the Dark Eldar. Thank god!!! They are one of the more annoying races. The Infiltrated Mandrake Squads are probably the biggest nuisance. Thank goodness the Marines can attach an observer to their tactical squads. I've already taken out the Orks, Tau, and Chaos. Once done with the Dark Eldar I'll swing back up the right side of the map and take out the Necrons, Eldar, Imperial Guard, and finish with the Sisters of Battle.

Tales is some fun old-school RPG action with a new-school shell. I like it so far, about 4 hours in. Fallout 3 is fun, too. I'm not gaga over it like other are, tho. I was the same with Oblivion.

Despite intending to spend more time w/LittleBigPlanet, whenever I switch on my PS3 I wind up playing Wipeout HD, which is a terrific game, BTW. I'm also still making my way through FFIV for the DS.

Local store accidentally put out Story Hour: Fairy Tales a week early so I picked up before they took it off their shelves and I have been enjoying it immensly.
Finished Fallout 3 and though it was very fun I don't feel like playing again for a while. Started Mass Effect again, and also playing some Spore whenever I have little extra time.
I have several new games I have yet to really play, Fallout 3, Sacred 2 and NWN2: SoZ chief among them.
However, I also have WoW: WotLK, which is pretty much the freebase of PC games. My WoW addiction has never been stronger...and the game has never been better.
Shadow Crusade is the latest expansion for EQ2, and I'm having a blast riding around on my armored Dire Bear.
On the 360 I've just finished SC4 and now have started Fable2.
I'm also on the lookout for a new desk top computer so I can play some of the great new games that are coming out. So if anyone has any suggestions ... let me know.
__________________ Just be thankful I'm not a twin.
Now that I've finished Fallout 3, I've gone back to play through Fallout 1... for the first time ever.
It's pretty fun so far. I've got dogmeat and I think I...uh almost prematurely ended the game accidentally. Thankfully, I saved beforehand and was able to get out of it.

Oh boy. I surpriced myself with an early christmas present yesterday and bought Red Alert 3 . So far I'm liking it. I have a fear that it's going to be too short lived but so far it's great fun. Maybe they should've ditched some of those Big Name Actors and invested that money on the storywriting...

See I am really tempted to buy RA3 but I hate the fact that they include software that only allows you to install it a set number of times before you can no longer use it. Bioshock initially did the same thing but there was such an outcry from the fans that they removed that limitation. If RA3 does the same then I'll run out and buy it.

I just picked up Prince of Persia, and have recenly finished both Mirrors Edge and Fallout 3. Mirrors Edge is nifty, but short and frustrating in some ways. I'm also getting back into Civ 4 a little bit.

Not much of anything. Fallout 3 was good but isn't holding my attention on even a second time through (as compared to Oblivion which I am replaying again for the billionth time).
