I picked up the PC version of Crysis (Maximum Edition) on Saturday, and have been playing that pretty much exclusively for the last few nights. It's an awesome game (if you're into first person shooters). For those here that are into Back to the Future, it even has a DeLorean mod (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZAaKH0FYO8) that puts all others to shame.
Other games that I have started (and intend to finish one day soon):
Final Fantasy III (DS): I'm just outside the Crystal Tower.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii): I currently have 201 stars.
Also, I'm excited about next month's adventure gaming opportunities:
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge Special Edition (July 7th)
Sam & Max 304: Beyond the Alley of the Dolls (July)
The Silver Lining 101: What is Decreed Must Be (July 10th)
Kane & Lynch was on the Steam sale yesterday, so I bought it, just to remind me of the story and events before Kane & Lynch 2 comes out in a few months, and managed to beat the game on hard in less than a day! Shame this game gets soo much hate, I actually like it quite a bit and the PC version looks quite nice in 1080p, 4xAA and 16xAF.
I've just finished S&M 303, and I'm still struggling with Super Mario Galaxy 2 (I have 225 stars so far).
I've temporally set aside Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Sith Edition until I finish SMG2 for good.

I'm jealous, it'll be a few months until I buy a computer that could play Crysis.
Also, you're going for the green stars in Mario Galaxy 2? I got bored after the first 3 of 'em. The rest of the game was as much fun as I think I can have with a game though.
Thinking about birthday gifting myself the L4D bundle tomorrow when I get paid. As for today, Magic: The Gathering: Duels Of The Planewalkers: Excessive Colons took up most of my time.
Right now I'm just stuck trying to beat this weird insect boss in the desert. My average survival time is about five seconds.
Duriel is a real git, no real strategy for him, just fill up on potions place a portal and do it over and over.
Or try and get some more levels, that could help a bit.
But I must admit I didn't really play it Solo, I played on Closed B-Net.
And there high levels take you to do Baal runs, so you can easily get to level 50.

I am slowly realizing this. I think I'm just going to run about and play in the fake tombs for awhile until I stop dying so often.
I think D2 was made in a real rush, just because D1 was a huge success and they wanted to repeat that. Granted D2 did become a success, but it was not really that well planned through.
All bosses are just stack potions, bash, die, repeat.
And some of the spells was so overpowered that nothing could stop a character, like the Sorceresses Frost Orb or the Paladins Hammer of Justice.
Items was so random made, that it could grant characters special abilities that builds was dedicated to that. So if you couldn't get the items, you couldn't become god-like.
Builds is the same for all characters, because only certain spells are good.
And you are really item depended, and the best way to get that was to buy them online.
And the game is infested with bots, especially online.
So I sure hope they will do D3 better, and so far I am really impressed with how it looks. And that they are taking the time they are, only means they are going to fine polish it down to every single detail.
I've "finished" Super Mario Galaxy 2 (241 stars, I've gave up on the last one...), and I've almost finished Puzzle Agent (only two puzzle files left blank on the filecase).
I'm waiting for MI2:SE, and I'll play Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (and maybe a little Ghost Busters) till then.

Right now I'm playing the Lord of Destruction expansion as the assassin. Pretty fun, but the ranged attacks sort of suck. Which is why I hate Duriel, who requires ranged attacks to be beaten.
Just Finished Ghost Busters, so currently playing Deus Ex (well i played the training last night, and hated it. We'll see what the actual thing is like), TF2 and Mushroom Men:Spore wars.
Finished Indigo Prophecy last night (why does David Cage always cock his games up at the last hurdle?) and Puzzle Agent today, gonna go back to Deus Ex now methinks

Yeah, at low levels traps are not really that good, but at higher levels you do get quite and edge. And an effective Trapsin only spends points in lightning traps, but that makes them weak when you get to lightning immunes, but people take Fire Bombs to even that out, as it get synergies from all the Lightning traps.
But I like Martial Arts more, I like all the variety it has.

So do I. I've been pouring all my points into Martial Arts and have like, two in traps. Gaah!

I like the green star challenges so far. It gives me a legitimate reason to play through my favorite levels again. A few of them require some delicate acrobatic skills, too. Luigi is recommended. I have been using him since star 120.
PS. I finished Crysis last night. Up next, Crysis Warhead. Did anyone know that Dominic Armato (Guybrush Threepwood) did a few voices for Crysis? It surprised me when I heard his voice in-game.
PPS. I played Puzzle Agent a few days ago, and loved it. I just wish that it had been a bit longer. Scoggins seems like a place that I could spend a little more time in. Bring on a full season, Telltale!
Playing "Overclocked" and loving every minute of it. I'm a bit spoiled because I already played the demo last year. I've now done the first flashback in cell 3. It makes me think so hard of "Shutter Island". I love the realistic looking environments. Characters are a bit static, though, especially the eyes. Voices are okay.
the First Half-Life. How is it that it's graphics make me kinda sick but HL-2's dosen't?
You might wanna try playing Half-Life: Source then, as it's Half-Life 1 upgraded to the Half-Life 2 engine. (Though buying it again just to do that might be a bit excessive...)
You also might want to wait for the Black Mesa mod, which is basically what Half-Life: Source should've been. Only problem is that it's fan-made with a "when it's done" release date, so who knows how long you'll be waiting.
A few days ago I finished Puzzle Agent. Now, I've just finished Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (both endings and the three extra levels).
Tomorrow I'll start MI2:SE when it's available and maybe I'll try TOMI's DVD (It seems to have arrived today, but when the postman did the delivery I wasn't at home, and I can't go to the post office to pick the package up till tomorrow)
Ghostbusters will have to wait till I'm done with Guybrush Threepwood
Puzzle Agent: Great work guys, a nice change of pace from the standard TTG formula.
Neptune's Pride: Damn this game is killing me, a bunch of guys from the Idle Thumbs forum have set up a custom anonymous game, inspired by the Telltale office game, taken to the next level: most of the players in the game have setup a fake twitter account so that those outside of the game can follow. The game will be 3 weeks old on Tuesday. it's well worth playing, and it's free to try.

Ingame with my fancy 99 Runecrafting cape:

I just completed They Stole Max's Brain yesterday (my review).
I enjoyed all of them, although I felt all of them didn't quite live up to their potential.
Now I'm beginning to play Gabriel Knight 1: Sins of the Fathers.
I've temporally set aside Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Sith Edition until I finish SMG2 for good.
Played that for a while, but after (over 9000!) Baal runs, I thought it was pointless. :P
So now I play Torchlight until D3 comes out.
Now playing through the Strong Bad Series on the Wii & Machinarium
Waiting to play Puzzle Agent!

I will also probably buy Puzzle Quest 2 for Xbox soon.

In the adventure world, I'm working on Puzzle Agent. I was REALLY taken by surprise by how good that game is.
