So, what's every one been gaming lately?

All I've been playing recently is Persona 4. I don't get into many RPGs, but when I do, it seems to suck away all my free time before I know it. The last game that sucked me in this much was Final Fantasy Tactics A2 on the DS, which I ended up putting about 80 hours into. I've been on the last few chapters of the book I've been reading for the past few weeks, but ever time I sit down to finish it, I realize I could be boosting my knowledge stat by studying in the library, since mid-terms are in a few days, or that I should start leveling up my party so we can fight a dungeon boss.

In order from most played to not as much played -
Street Fighter 4
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Gears of War 2
Infamous
Fight Night Round 4
Rock Band 2

are all in my daily rotation. But when Modern Warfare 2 comes out, that's pretty much it for me and all the other games out there. I was sad to see that Infamous came out while the boards were out, since it's totally a comic book game that never was actually a comic. Anybody else play it and think it's as awesome as I do? Most sandbox type games bore me after a few plays, but InFamous is just too awesome. I though that having just electrical powers would suck, but I was totally wrong. Not having to rely on a car to get a round a large city was also pretty fresh. I love the "grinding" and the climbing I had to do instead. Currently, I'm in the middle of playing the "good" side, but I haven't finished it since my dumb roommate took the PS3 into his room so now I have to awkwardly ask if I could play on his tv in his room.

I'm down to play MUA2 in the future when my funds allow me to afford another cool game. Like the original MUA, i'm sure it'll go down in price. Someone please have the patience to play with me a 2nd (3rd, 4th) time around when I get it myself.

About two months ago I wound up with a bit extra cash and went on a video game shopping spree. inFamous I got new and I picked up used copies of Lego Batman, Uncharted and Resistance: Fall of Man. inFamous was fantastic, but a bit short, I beat it on good path in about a week of casual playing. Lego Batman, while not exactly innovative is a great game to put on a podcast or some music on in the background and just have fun doing missions, getting collectables, etc. Uncharted is fun, but I enjoy the treasure hunting and platforming far more then the combat. Resistance I haven't played much yet, it looks solid but is ultimately a fairly standard post-Halo FPS.

There's an insane number of games coming out in the next two months or so that I will never get to playing all of but still have my attention. I have a preorder for Champions Online, and also coming out is Beatles: Rock Band, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Brutal Legend, and probably others I can't think of off the top of my head.

Just got done with a few tech demo sort of things. One is The Underside, an indy platformer game in the style of Cave Story, with a bit of Earthbound-like humor added on. Very fun.

I've also been toying with the combat prototype from Infinity-Universe.com, just playing quick skirmishes in the engine that will power their MMORPG. Already looking great.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is awesomeness. Also a bit of Fable 2 or Suikoden Tierkris here and there.

Currently devouring Bioshock. Yeah, I'm about two years behind the curve.

My Tv is currently on the fritz, but when it's back up, I wholly endorse people to attempt to take Spider-Man, Captain Commando, and Thanos down in MvsC2.

I'll probably get Left 4 Dead 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 when they come out, but I still need to get through Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3, and even a bit more of Lego Indiana Jones.

I also play Bomberman Live and Puzzle Fighter Arcade more than I should. Turtles in Time might join that fold in a bit here.

My X-box broke and then I got it fixed and then the power adaptor broke, so I'm only playing PC games at the moment.

And really only Fallout 3. It's been fun, even if I had to go through a lot of stuff I'd done previously (just got my computer repaired after eight months.)
