Currently playing MI1: SE, Oblivion (RPG), and trying to finish Plants vs. Zombies (collecting the last few Steam achievements). Guild Wars (MMO) off and on.
I really need to finish HL2 one of these days, too.
Shadow Complex: A great game with the mechanics, the story itself is dreadful. I want the game to be brighter and more colourful, which generally doesn't happen in Unreal engine 3 games, unless you are Mirror's Edge.
Street Fighter IV: I still suck at fighting games, this is no exception. However with my recent purchase of a stick my game has noticeably improved.
Marvel VS Capcom 2: Been playing a lot of this with a friend who is into fighters. I am better at this than with SF4 but not yet god enough to play many other people. Again using a stick has definitely improved my game.
At this exact moment in time I'm watching my brother playing Spore.
Otherwise, besides ToMI I've mostly just been playing old games on an Amiga emulator! (my real Amiga hasn't been set up for years but I still love the games)
Mass Effect: Replaying along the Renegade path as a woman, the female actor seems to fit the role really quite well. The dialogue paths and options are some of the best in any game which I have played, in this respect it seems like those in an adventure game, but better. Some of the combat is frustrating with my character being of a low level at the moment.
I just borrowed Fallout 3 off my bro's friend. Having fun so far, just got out of the vault and into Megaton.
The manual's printed upside down though, with the cover the other way round from the stuff inside, so I'm tempted to sell it off as a collector's item. Not that I would, but it's tempting.
I'm currently playing nothing on my PC, as I've had to replace both a hard drive and the PSU as well as deal with a virus infecting every single .exe file. Stupid AVG not picking it up, grr.
On the PS2, I've been replaying the Ratchet & Clank series, mostly so I can write reviews on them. I'm on the second game ATM, and am getting ever so slightly bored of levelling up my weapons. Lord knows how fed up I'll get when I have to go hunting all 100 Snow Crystals... again.
It's been two days since I have Psychonauts. Amasing game! Amazing game! The art style kind of reminds me of Sacrifice, Grim Fandango and MDK2, only 10 times as crazy. It's just an amasing game. I'm still playing it but this is one of those games that deserve a 10/10.
I also got A Vampyre Story, but for some reason I find the game pretty slow, unfunny and boring. The art is awesome, but with a gameplay so slow and jokes so unfunny, I'd rather just browse deviantart.

I found that as well. I liked the idea of not carrying heavy items around but only going and getting them when needed, but aside from that, there was very little to keep me playing. I gave up when I reached the boat - I just didn't want to play it any more.
Currently im playing Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena which im surprised to say im thoroughly enjoying. Its not often that a movie franchise gets a decent game. Batman Arkham Asylum was also fantastic (i love the metroidish game progression) so hopefully this is a start to a new trend of quality in movie/comic/etc. to game adaptations
Other games i am currently playing:
-Metroid Prime Trilogy(wii) ~just finished Prime 1, now ankle deep into 2
-Mass Effect (360 via the Games on Demand service) ~just had to try it out
-Shadow Complex (XBLA) ~completed but going back to get the rest of the items
-BioShock(PC) ~with 2's release looming closer thought id replay it but on PC this time around (was originally the first 360 game i bought 2 years ago
I also recently bought KotOR via steam but am reluctant to play as it makes my GTX 285 scream like a Banshee for some crazy reason
Oh and of course i replay the as-of-yet released ToMI episodes biweekly or so in anticipation of the next entry
"Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition" and it's VERY good! The new artwork is amazing and the voice acting just breathes life into the whole thing! Lucasarts have updated it so much while still staying true to the original!
Fate/Unlimited Codes (PSP/PSN)
A very primitive beat em up game à la Street Fighter (it's even made by Capcom). What sets this game apart from similar games is that the controls are about as responsive as Street Fighter.
The Settlers 2 Gold (PC/GoG)
The sequel to one of the most accessible and yet still complex strategy/building games of all times. Eventhough this game almost belongs into a museum now, the graphics are still beautiful, the gameplay is still as fulfilling as it was when the game came out and the settlers are still cute enough to eat.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (PC) (Can't give you a hint where to order it because I still have my original CD)
Easily the best THPS game for people who don't play THPS for the tricks alone, but who want to use the environment to build up the longest possible chain of tricks, rails and manuals. In this game, there are no large areas with dead ends to get stuck in or rails that lead nowhere. No stupid walking mode or missions to distract you. It's you, the clock and dozens of rails where you can do anything if you time your jumps right.
Apart from regular games of Fifa 09 (for the rest of the month anyway, 'till Fifa 10 comes out) I'm mainly playing GTA IV trying to get 100% completion of the main game (at 95% now) as well as a bit of Red Faction: Guerrilla - all on the 360. On my PC I've been replaying SBCG4AP (up to 8-Bit Is Enough now) and spending a bit of time on Football Manager 2009.
You mean you haven't played it yet?! We can play it on my Nintendo Entertainment System™! It's the Legend of Zelda™ and it's really rad, those creatures from Ganon are pretty bad, octoroks and tektites, leevers too, but with your help our hero pulls through! Yeah! Go Link! Yeah! Get some! Awesome! Intense!
The Nintendo Entertainment System™. Your parents help you hook it up. The Legend of Zelda™ sold separately.
Fallout 3 was beginning to depress me (why can the Tenpenny Tower quest not have a happy ending ): ), so I moved onto Beatles Rockband, and from Thursday/Friday depending on how early it ships, the new Katamari.
In between re-installing all my games (thanks to the screw-you virus I've thankfully seemed to finally overcome), I'm replaying the Ratchet and Clank series on the PS2. I'm on the third one (Up Your Arsenal!) ATM.
Now, a word on Blitz 2. This game is a blast, but the cheating AI is ridiculous! It's like playing against a hacker. What the hell, Midway? What. The. Hell. That is all.
Patapon, Locoroco and soon Katamari Forever. I had a rather serious adventure game session recently so I shall take a short break before replaying Dig and Indiana Jones.
I've been playing way too much Left 4 Dead than should be considered healthy. I also picked up Scribblenauts! I've barely touched the main game because it's so much fun creating random stuff on the title screen. You can summon Longcat and Tacgnol!

Strong Bad - Baddest of the Bands
Fallout 3
World of Warcraft (of course)
Puzzle Pirates (on occasion)

Really recommend the newly released Drawn: TPT.
It really is one of the most beautiful adventuregames I have ever played! Check it out!

...Yes, that is the game's real title, and yes, it's way more fun than it has any right to be.

I typically like to wait for a while. That way, it will be closer to the launch of the next episode and the DVD will seem not so far away.
That doesn't go for all series though. Once the third season of Sam & Max comes out, I'll be downloading them as they release!

I've had it for three days now and I am not even halfway through it.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry =(
