Simple, what are you playing and what's in your inventory, waiting to be played.
Thanks in part to the Blockbuster closing sale, my list has gotten sort of gotten out of hand:
Current games I'm actively playing on the PS3:
Fallout 3
CoD Black Ops
Spiderman, Shattered Dimensions
Wolverine
Game on the to do list:
Infamous
Prototype
Little Big Planet - Family game for everyone to play.
Duke Nukem forever - played about 30 mins, so far not impressed.
Assassins Creed 2 - great game but when I trasfered data from my old PS3 Fat to my PS3 slim this is the only one where I lost all my games saves. I doubt I will play it again as I was probably 3/4 finished.
Assassins Creed 2 - brotherhood - one of my wife's games
Assassins Creed 2 - Revaluations (Coming in November, - one of my wife's games)
Price of Persia something or other
Homefront
The Bournce Conspiracy
Transformers - The War for Cybertron - old band mates want me to play on line with the.
Fallout - New Vegas
The Orange Box - Portal
Portal 2 (Future Christmas gift for wife)
CoD modern Warfare 3 (Coming in November)
Overlord - one of my wife's games
Overlord 2 - one of my wife's games
Dues Ex - Suppose to set a new standard of awesome for games and be the one to watch.
Brink
Boarder Lands
Lost Planet (hated the controls and will probably never play again)
Lair
Dungeon Siege 3 - to play with wife
Harry potter Lego - currently playing with my wife
That's just my PS3 list. I have a bunch of Xbox 360 titles I probably never get around to playing or finishing (Fable 3 comes to mind).
I realize I have a HUGE list and it's not like I'm sitting at home all day playing video games. Quite the opposite really. I have a 5 year old and a wife and right now I'm more interested in ripping down the paneling in the laundry room and replacing it with sheet rock. I just keep picking up games when I see them going for a really good price. That and I have 2 PS3 in the house so some of the games are ones I picked up for my wife but I'd still play them some day.
So what are you guys playing?
-
Currently playing, SC2, WOW (strickly PvP), minecraft.
Just biding my time for Diablo 3

modern warfare 2 and... modern warfare 2.
still plugging away despite all the campers, rushers and knifers infesting it.
if anyone's playing it on PC and wants to play some Spec Ops co-op, PM me and let me know, I could use some help doing the Echo missions and trying to finish the Deltas on Hardened...

Tenchu Z
Splinter Cell Conviction

If it was on PS3 then I would be your man. I did all the Special Ops on hardened. Heck, I played the entire story mode on hardened. I played the heck out of that game and I would play it again if not but for all the campers and hackers. I can deal with the knife lunges from 10 ft away but nothing ruins a game more then sitting in the corner and camping. Me, I'm all about gun and run and when I'm in the zone, I'm pretty darn good if I say so myself. My buddy Mike like to "hide in the corner".
Gah, that's camping 101. He saw me on his system one day doing the whole gun and run thing and he was saying "OK. I get wheat your doing now". Me, I jump out the windows and spin in a full 360 before I hit the ground, look for movement, run at it, start shooting and THEN I start to aim. Total gun and run. Sure, I'm not always first but I'm usually in the top 3 and I have fun doing it and I give the other plays a good target to chase as well.
Having a hard core cool head set really like the Tritton AX 720 and not a junky ear bud rammed in my head helps. Easy to hear guys behind walls reloading. ;)

yeah, i run and gun all the time. only time i hide is when i've got a kill-streak reward to use. i was playing a domination match on high rise the other day where i was kicking butt all over the place. i finished top scorer overall with 25 kills, 7 assists and 20 deaths. and i had 4 3-streaks but just couldn't get the 4th for a care-pack. some days i have good matches and some days i have poor ones, depending on the volume of campers.
i'm still doing way better than i was last year, when i was horrendous and was lucky to get over 4 kills in a match. then i suddenly got better literally in one day. i played in the morning before work and was rubbish as usual, went on again in the evening and suddenly pulled off 10 kills. next game, i had about 12. it was weird as hell.

Im going wayyyyyback.

Battlestations: Pacific & Tomb Raider Anniversary (360) for me.
If I ever get my PS3 back in working order (gotten the Yellow Light of Death twice) I'll have the God of War collection, Arkham Asylum, Black Ops, InFamous & Madden 12 to play.
I've also got a crapload of games I'm very far in but never completed: Forza 3, GTA IV, & Red Dead Redemption just to name a few.
This fall I'm looking forward to Arkham City, Forza 4, Halo Anniversary, & MW3. Might pick up NHL 12 as well as I keep hearing really good things about it.

You can fix the YLOD. Check you tube if you want to do it yourself. My buddy Mike fixed his recently. I had a PS3 fat and had it repaired then I bailed off it and bought a slim.
BTW, if you have a PS3 fat, you should be playing with your system on it's side. Remember when they first came out there was an add on stand so that you could your your PS3 sideways? Turns out that stand wasn't as useless as I thought. It increases the airflow into your system. I've taken one of these apart with my buddy and there is a huge fan but it blasts straight down, so if you want longer life, turn your PS3 FAT on it's side.
Also, if you start getting the YLOD and have friends profiles on your system, deactivate their accounts asap. Each user profile can be used 5 times. If a PS3 dies then all accounts tied to that system are lost.
On a side note, the latest CoD Blacks Ops maps are FREE to download. Anyone want to hunt Zombies?

I got it fixed once by a guy who really knows what he's doing. I got it back, played one game of Madden & some God of War collection, & it YLOD'd again. I think if the guy can get it working again I'll back up my hard drive & then go buy a 320GB Slim.
I also think it's ridiculous that there's such problems with the new systems (RROD, YLOD). My 20 year old Genesis & 30 year old 2600 still work just fine, thank you.

I hardly play any games as I only have one TV at the moment. But the only games I have been able to blow the dust off recently are.
NHL 11
- I have been updating the rosters more than actually playing the game. However, I am leaning on getting the 12 version as they have the Jets in it and Mario Lemieux. I will wait when the season starts in a week or so so I can get updated rosters.
Madden 12
- I am luke warn about this game. Major reason is that I have to to re-learn the Steelers playbook. EA just totally changed it and hence none of my favorite plays from years past are in there. Plus the OL sucks (just like in real life) which is killing me in the passing game (and watching these pilons in real life).
MLB The Show 11
- Just got this about a week ago. The attention to detail for the stadiums is amazing. The only thing that blows in this game is the minor league rosters. They have a ton of fake names on there, unlike the NHL game that all real player names. And just like a Yankees and Red Sox game in real life, this game takes a while to complete a match-up. Bombista.
GI JOE ROC
- I am having a hard time getting into this game. I haven't touched it in months nor I am even close to completing it. No urge to do so.
Any good kid games for the PS3 incase I have company over?

GI Joe was a bit of a meh game. I did a review of it a while back for the news letter. It good if you want to have a buddy over and talk about life in general with a beer by your side and a controller in hand. In other words, it's decent background entertainment but not something to plan your night around.
As for kiddies games, pick up a copy of "Little Big Planet 1" if it's just for the children.

I didn't pick up any games during Blockbuster's blow-out. I want to get Captain America, but I'll wait until it is cheaper.
As far as what I'm playing (PS3):
Red Dead Redemption
What I need to play in my collection:
Smackdown Vs Raw 2011
Lego Star Wars 3
These ones are on my PSP and I am not having any luck prying them out of my sons PSP yet.
I am looking forward to Arkham City and Uncharted 3.

I had that WWE game and just couldn't get into it. I use to play a lot of wrestling games in the past but they just lost all appeal to me. I know they have decent stories if you follow them all the way through but I just fell out of love with it all. They kept changing the controls so it felt like every time I picked up the game I had to spend a few hours learning how to do the moves again, and that's not fun.
That's why I'm a fan of Call of Duty. It's doesn't matter which version I'm playing, I know how to gun and run at the start. Usually when I buy these games I go to on line play as soon as I open it. I do that so all the campers won't know the hiding spots. ;) I usually don't get to the story mode of the game until I've played on line for a few weeks.

I currently own a X360 with the Kinect sensor and like to play on Xbox live (anyone here?)
These are what I play:
Kinect Sports
Kinect Adventures
Kinect Joyride
Kinect Dance Central (no really, I'm latin so no wonder I like dancing haha :P )
Castlevania Lords of Shadow (bought the collector's edition game for 30$ at Futureshop!!! But...didn't have a chance to play it yet)
Left 4 Dead (I'm not a fan of first person shooters, but if it has Zombies, of course I'll play it!)
Left 4 Dead 2
Gi joe The Rise of Cobra (don't have anyone to play it with, and I'll admit it: It's kind of boring to play it alone)
Bio Shock 2 (played it before the first one and I absolutely prefer it: It is such a strange game, which is why it kept me hooked)
Bio Shock (never finished it, I am stuck at the stage where you have to retrieve materials while keeping the right timing in order to avoid being stinged my the bees. Don't tell me the trick if you know it! I also refuse to watch walkthrough's on Youtube, I enjoy neverending challenges)
And I'm also big on old school games which is why I still have my original NES, SNES, Sega Genesis (console is broke) and my PS2. I still play my old games.
My favorite titles are the old Megaman games (1-5), Castlevania (1,2,3, Adventure, Belmont's revenge, Bloodlines, Super CV4, Chronicles, Harmony of Dissonance, Aria of Sorrow, Symphony of the Night), Demon Sword, Battle of Olympus, Master Blaster 1&2, Bionic Commando, Batman 1&2, Gi joe (by Taxan), Double Dragon 2, Ninja Gaiden 1&2, Gradius, Life Force, Super Gradius 3.

Guess I didn't actually answer the question though...
I'm playing Borderlands (just started) for my co-op game, and I'm doing Infamous on the evil playthrough now. I was playing Afrosamurai, but I think I've abandoned it.
But in the past two weeks, I haven't played anything.... :(

I quit Afrosamurai a while back as well. Totally forgot I have it.
Are you on the PS3? My buddy Mike and I just started Borderlands. Always looking for 2 more players. ;)
