Shit, I actually played a lot this week. Continued with a replaythrough of Final Fantasy X (the Home Desert took FOREVER >.<) and playthrough of Final Fantasy V (so underrated :(,) and started playing LoZ Minish Cap (awesome,) Half Life 2 (awesome,) and Borderlands (awesome, once I figured out how to turn off that horrible mouse smoothing shit.) Also Peggle :D
Good to see you're enjoying yourself Jim, now that you're one of us, the GLORIOUS PC GAMING MASTER RACE.
What do you think of The Witcher, incidentally?

I recognize that band, the annoying fuckers kept spamming me on MySpace many years ago. Purile filth mongerers.
Didn't play anything new this week.
Next week however it's gonna be Assassin's Creed I & II! Woohoo! aren't you excited for me Mr. Sterling?

Still working through Dragon Age here. I'm dawdling around the dwarven area. I hate mine levels and I'm none too keen on dwarves, so I couldn't really care less about their kingin' problems.
Finally got around to setting up my iPlayer with all the GBA roms that I could pack into it. My DSi feels complete now. Now if only the stupid face sticker would quit trying to peel up...

TF2 as always.
Started to play Knights of the Old Republic but I am not hooked yet.
Gave the Last Remnant demo a go. Hated it.
Finally completed Half-Life 2 after around a year of owning it. Also started and completed Half-Life 2: Episode One. That darn thing was too short, but I have heard Episode Two is the shit.
Played some Left 4 Dead, it's strange how little I have played it because it kicks serious ass.
The Osmos demo is cool and all, but for some reason my PC couldn't handle it for a moment. Strange, maybe my drivers needed to update.

i remember playing Final Fantasy V Advance in my last months of high school after a friend lent it to me and I thought he had FFVI instead. But it felt very very nice despite the slow beginning. Shame he claimed it back when I was very hooked.

A bit of Beyond Good & Evil, but mostly getting back to Borderlands (and beating it with one character; second playthrough is roooough) and a lot of 1 vs 100.
SSBM, SSBB, and MK: Double Dash with family and friends all Thanksgiving break... it was awesome. Also, Cap'n Falcon got so nerfed from Melee to Brawl, it's sad.
Wait, wait, Heavy Rain? iCarly? What the shit?
I need to read these things.
Hey Nick when/if/definitely when I kill you I'd prefer you'd keep that copy of Heavy Rain in the man bag I know you carry around.

Mostly Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Left 4 Dead 2, Tekken 6 and Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's: Stardust Accelerator (when I'm not rage quitting).
Monodi, you will definitely enjoy episode 2! For some bizarre reason I ended up playing them in reverse order and I still need to complete HL2. Been playing too much L4D2 to complete my recently purchased (cheap on steam) Mass Effect and Borderlands.
Ps2? Zone of the Enders 2 and Robot Alchemic Drive. Just sayin'
Been playing Dragon Age (I'm at the landsmeet and returning to the alienage for the first time. Ouch.), started Uncharted 2 (time to roll out the creature feature again!), 1 vs 100 (Lv8!), the Tropico 3 Demo on 360 (MUST HAVE THIS GAME!) and a little Geometry Wars 2 (ALMOST beat Chad Concelmo's Pacifism score!)

Taking a small break from the current releases for now, so I can try some Mirror's Edge that my friend lent me. It's...not terrible, but I'm not really getting the feel for it. But I only finished the first three chapters, I'll see how it goes from there.
@Jack Maverick
I will admit Mirror's Edge was not a completely successful experiment, but it feels so different that it's fresh.

Most of my time is spent with [Prototype] which is surprisingly fun. As ugly as the animations and the lot are for the game, running, gliding, and elbow dropping shit never gets old.
LOTS AND LOTS of Left 4 Dead 2. It's so addictive. Also, I'm scared of Realism. It's crazy as hell.
I also started getting into the mod, "Research and Development", which so far, is VERY GOOD.
Steam is kicking my ass this week too. With that said...
-KoTOR (trying to get the Widescreen mod to work). Shit looks ugly if it ain't 1440x900
-Osmos (very good, but difficult)
-Guild Wars Trilogy (finally, a sale on this)
-I bought World of Goo (finally, also)
Lastly, the "Ben There" and "Time Gentlemen" bundle. I'll dive into that later.

Wait wait wait... these guys are better than ELO? :O
I picked up Osmos and Trine from the Steam sales over the weekend. Still hoping for a Torchlight or Serious Sam HD discount to finish the sale tomorrow. Other than that I've been making more progress in the brilliant Overlord. Also started GTA: Chinatown Wars which is a brilliant nostalgia trip, reminding me of what I liked about GTA before IV came along. :)

Went back to BlazBlue this weekend, it's pretty damn great! Except it pales in comparison to the absolutely gorgeous-looking Continuum Shift. I also played some Vampire Savior and a bit of a friend's copy of Tales of the Abyss, which is actually quite good.
Then I went on to play some Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, which is a ton of fun despite the lacking gore. Unfortunately, I took no advantage of any Black Friday sales.

Jim's list is awesome, mine's pretty similar at least as far as tropico 3 and dawn of war 2 are concerned. Also downloading Empire: Total War and I can't wait to play it :)
I do believe Jim is responsible for 50% of the corruption of my brain from the interweb.
That said, I played Super Mario Galaxy for the first time since I bought it the day it came out, L4D after buying it for less than $6 on Steam(4pack split 4 ways), bought DA:O(PS3vers. I know, I know) for $40 but in mail atm, On Lavos on Chrono Trigger DS, Played RE5 with a friend who just bought it and forgot so much in that story it's like a new game. Also play Okami(Ps2vers, no thank you waggle-stick) again, I never finished it and apparently I'm at the begining still.
Also played ME for an few hours. Bought Star Wars:KotOR and sad at how much it looks to suck ass so far. Also played TF2 for FNF about an hour.
Great week for gaming I'd say :D

Forgot to mention I played the Machinarium demo and realized why point-click games grew extinct despite my fondness for them. They reduce into randomly pointing and clicking at everything on screen until frustration hits and you stop playing or beat the game.
I've mostly been playing Miner Dig Deep. Yes, really. That thing from the Indie Games in XBL. Looks like a flash game, the gameplay is repetitive & redundant, but addicting as CRAP and strangely satisfying. Have...to...get...this...awesome...uber...lantern...!
Oh, and also Half Life 2.

Demon Soul and a little more Demons Souls. I've had the game ever since it's Oct 6 release date so I've got the game on lock down. Started a new game with a female character and I'm soul level 63 and it took me just 5 or so hours. Anyway, wicked game!
I went to my parents for thanksgiving and got them sold on Rock Band. They then bought Beatles Rock Band (they knew more songs on it), so now I have a free copy of BRB. I'm extremely surprised at how good the Beatles music is; I liked it before, but I only knew a few songs. After going through the whole game, I can honestly say I love 90% of the songs, with a few being not as good. I'm a bit sad that Yesterday, Hey Jude, Maxwell Silverhammer, and Let it Be are not in the game, but I guess I'll just have to fork over for DLC.
MAG beta, nothing but MAG beta, all week, all weekend, all evening, all night, having trouble getting up for work (UK here no Thanksgiving) with all the playing till 5am shit I can't help but do, the mrs managed to drag me away for a couple of hours to go to my folks for dinner at the weekend, then i was straight back home and back into the MAG beta, after spending most of the time telling my parents how amazing the MAG beta is. (They really couldn't care less)
Cannot get enough, want to be playing right now but at fucking work, will be home in an hour and a half my sweet sweet MAG beta, I've missed you since lunchtime.
FPS games will never be the same again, step aside Modern Borfare, say goodnight homo, see you around killzzzzzzzz(one), services no longer required, there's a new dog in town, that dog has massive battles, varied, changing-on-the-fly objectives and 256 players. You guys are fucking obsolete.

HEY JIM I SAW KUNT AND THE GANG LIVE AT A FESTIVAL THE OTHER WEEK.
ARE YOU REGRETTING LEAVING ENGLAND?
ARE YOU REGRETTING LEAVING ENGLAND?
I can't say anything about it yet, but yes, I am playing the beginning of Heavy Rain.
What I can talk about, however (and what you're more interested in), is iCarly for the Wii. It's like WarioWare. You guys like WarioWare, right? Just like that. With iCarly characters.
