I recently beat Full Throttle for the first time (yeah yeah, I know where I work). INSANE sound design for 1995. If I had good speakers back then when I only played the demo, I may have fainted.
Actually, the most recent game I completed was SBCG4AP:Episode 1 (PC)... been busy reading a book and working between then and now. =/
Before that, though, the most recent game I played through was Okami (Wii), which has to be one of the most artistic and beautiful games I've played in recent memory. The game mechanic that that game presented when it was first released was truly innovative... probably a bit ahead of its time. Being able to draw with the Wiimote was a nice addition. And the story and music were simply amazing. I'm just sad it didn't get as much recognition as it deserved.
Other than that, also been playing the typical party staples... Brawl (Wii), Burnout 3 (PS2), and Rock Band (X360).
I have been playing Bionic Commando Rearmed (PC) and Mario Kart Wii lately. I had just finished both of them earlier this week.
Strangely enough, I have had Mario Kart Wii since the launch of the game, but I hadn't had the time to finish the last grand prix cup until now. Well, I'm glad that I had finished that... Now I can spend more time playing online matches!
I'm currently playing the Dig for the first time since the demo on the Lucas Arts archives. It is ridiculously involved, and very beautiful. I just don't have time to hit it with a careful eye and a pen/paper, so I've been using the walkthrough
Currently playing: Half Life (by the way evil guy, if a Half Life game is the first FPS you beat, you must be really good at the genre.Half Life games are freakin' hard!!!!At least I know the first one is...).Great game, but like I just said, it's HARD.And buggy(at least in the steam version).Still, this can't keep me away from its awesome gameplay.
Currently playing when I don't feel like thinking or puzzle solving: Need for Speed Carbon on the Wii.I like the game, and I've almost beat it.I don't think I will, though, 'cause those freakin' canyon races are annoying to da' max!!!!!
Spore. I have two saved games right now after the second patch fixed all my problems, with the first game almost complete. I just need to "aggressively expand" my empire in order to rub out some rivals in my quadrent of space.

Hard mode is hard.

... And yes, I'm listening to the soundtrack as I type this.

Before that I was playing Guild Wars alot.I'm a level14 Necromancer!!!
Really wanted to like the game, but they didn't half make some stupid design choices with it.
Ditto for me, but substitute Alaskan Storm for Tales of Vesperia. And I've happily, not sadly, been sucked into Spore.
I am not sad about playing Spore I am sad that I love it so much I now have even less time than I did before it.
....sometimes.
Just managed to register into the beta 5 minutes before Eurogamer completely went down with the traffic after the beta keys.
