This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What is everyone playing?

As an ongoing thread, let's see what you're playing now or what you've just bought for your gaming horde.

I just purchased Shattered Union for the X-Box.  It's a turn based wargame simulating a Civil War in the US around 2012.  The overall strategic level is represented by a Risk-like territory map.  Actual combat is performed on a hexgrid with tanks, infantry, artillery, and aircraft represented.  It's somewhat similar to Dai Senryaku Tactics.  I'm still playing with this one trying to figure out an effective way to play.

Other than that, I've mostly been playing my portables lately.  Field Commander takes up my time on my PSP (although it's been a couple of days since I played).  It's a turn based tactical wargame.  If you've played Advance Wars on the GBA, imagine a non-cartoony graphically revved up version of that game.

I'm also messing around with New Super Mario Bros on my Nintendo DS.  I'm not very far in, because I suck.

Other than that, Lineage II acts as a massive timesink.

I've been hooked on Oblivion since the day it came out :)

WoW.

Oblivion failed to hold my interest.
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways, it's still rock and roll to me.

You can talk all you want about theory, craft, or whatever. But in the end, it's still just new ways of looking at people playing make-believe and having a good time with their friends. Intellectualize or analyze all you want, but we've been playing the same game since we were 2 years old. We just have shinier books, spend more money, and use bigger words now.

I don't do new games very often. My gaming time is currently divided among Lego Star Wars (with the kids), Neverwinter Nights (there are so many modules to download!), and Civ 3 (heavily modded). When Civ 4 comes out for the mac, that will probably take up a good chunk of my time.

I finally got around to installing X-Men Legends II on my new copmuter, so I've been playing that.  Heroes of Might and Magic V has seen quite a bit of play time as well.

Beyond that, I haven't touched Oblivion since I beat the main storyline over a month ago.  It didn't hold my interest after that.  I am looking forward to Titan Quest later this month and Marvel Ultimate Alliance in the fall.  There's a possibility I may start back up my City of Heroes/Villains account once I'm back from my honeymoon as well, but trainings may start then so that remains to be seen.  I'll likely just stick with X-Men for the time being.

Playing Oblivion, Far Cry and LEGO Star Wars on the PC.

I bought a DS Lite this week so I'm playing Advance Wars on it.

Finished the main story in Oblivion and started doing some quests but then I got side tracked.

So lately my gaming life has been flip flopping between Outlaw Golf 2, and Psi-Ops for xbox, older games but I never finished them off the first time around.
