Legend of Korra (PC):
Solid budget game, nothing extraordinary, but a VERY solid B+.
The game play is good, the story is...okay, the graphics are solid, the music/sounds are work out, and now I want a Pro-Bending game.
->Would have been a C+, if not for the very cheap price of 15USD and managing to look so nice on said budget.

Shadow of Mordor (PC):
Moar liek Creed of Mordor, ham i wite?
Okay, but, seriously?
Yeah, I like it.
It's a fun game that punishes you for failing by making the fights harder the next time.
I just wish there was a little bit more, meat, to the game.
Maybe in the sequel?

Warship Gunner 2 (PSN-PS2):
It's the aesthetic of Ace Combat meets the customization of Front Mission meets the game play of a Navel Ops game.
-Basically, <3.

So, yeah, I LOVE this game, it's the second time I've bought it, but man are some of the bosses HARD.
-Still, I loved it for my PS2 and I love it again for my PSN.

Civ 5 at the moment. I only started playing it about a month ago so I'm quite late to the party. I'm really liking Shoshone and Egypt. Babylon is fun too but it almost feels like cheating when I play them.

Magic 2014, Magic 2012, GTA V, Warriors Orochi 3 (and soon to be samurai Warriors 4), Dungeon Village, and to a lesser extent Eternal Sonata. Not sure how far I'll go into ES, but I bought it for 3 bucks a while back. Totally worth that much, at least.

Fallout: New Vegas, finally. I'm a good 40 hours in with my melee-only, Very Hard, Hardcore character and I'm having a blast just wandering the wastes, collecting loot, killing Powder Ganger scum and generally causing mayhem. Just finished up Honest Hearts and now I'm wrapping up quests on the Strip.

Hearthstone, too. All's good on that front, finally reached Rank 5. My goal is to hit legendary this month, and I think I can reach it, assuming I can break out of this loss rut I'm in.

Assassin's Creed 3... Don't judge me!
And Megaman Starforce... DON'T JUDGE ME.

So far I yet to really start Assassin's Creed 3, just finished Haytham story and played a bit with Connor, so far Haytham is awesome and Connor is meh. Though Achilles may be my favorite assassin in the entire frachise, I really hope something bad doesn't happen to him anytime soon. (It will won't it?)
One thing I notice thought, while you are playing with Haytham, the Templars are shown as not evil people, but in Connor story is like the twirling mustaches just grown. What the hell, Assassin's Creed writing?

I defeat the Queen Snake is Megaman Starforce and now I just grinding for cards and trying to find all HP memories in order to re-fight the bosses and get better cards, if I am not mistaken Gemini is coming up and the son of ***** is tough, so a lot of grinding and looking around will be.

Excluding the games that I started over a year ago and still haven't finished...

Right now I'm playing:

Tomb Raider
Fun gameplay so far, but not without a plethora of issues. Lara gets beaten up a little too brutally. I can see what that guy meant when he said "you'll want to protect her" because it's really getting presented in more that way than "you'll want to play as her".

The odd comment of "This coin looks like it's dated from the X era" comment doesn't relate the game to archaeology. I have no idea what that era means, and for all I care it's just a non-sequitor comment to remind the player that yes, Lara is in fact an archaeologist.

Lara Croft's voice actor sucks. She's just awful. It's not helped by her dialogue.

Don't Starve
Finally got to winter 20 days in. However it turns out that food doesn't grow in the winter so I was quickly starving. Thankfully I also forgot to make a hat and coat so freezing to death mercifully saved me from starving.

I love this game.

Mostly been playing Shadow of Mordor and payday 2, been having a lot of fun with both.
Same here, though I've also been playing Fallout: New Vegas. Sadly...I'm remembering why I never finished New Vegas, no matter how many times I play it. The "run around all over, talking to people and then going back to the 1st person to talk to them again" type quests really get old fast. So many quests, and Vault crawls translate to "Go to location A, and talk to person B. Person B tells you to go to location C, and talk to Person D. Person D tells you to go back and talk to Person B, who then sends you to Person F, who then tells you to go to Person Z" etc etc etc. It gets really old really fast, all the fetch questing they send you out on.

TF2 as usual. Moreso now that the Halloween even has started. Gotta get them spells!

Xcom: Enemy Unknown as well. Not as much as I'd like though, I haven't had enough free time since I bought it. TF2 I can pop in and play for 45 minutes, Xcom is more of a "you play for three hours or you don't play at all" kind of thing for me.

I have quite the backlog so I multitask:
Current Year Release: Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Current Gen: Forza 5
Previous Gen: Pandora's Tower
Retro: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Online: Destiny
Rental: Remember Me
The Twos: Assassin's Creed II
Portable: Silent Hill: Book of Memories

Note: The Twos was a category I started for this year because I had played a lot of "first" games that had a part two that I wanted to play and so I have a nice list of games with "two" in them. And yes, it not only means part two but things like Beyond Two Souls counts as well. Also, its fun to have a theme.

Just started Tomb Raider 2013 last night. Got a fairly large backlog and I'm trying to get through as much as possible before I buy any more games. Still haven't picked up Smash Bros. and Borderlands yet and Sunset Overdrive is out next week so I need to hurry up :p

And I guess this counts, I've been playing a fair bit of Subway Surfers on iOS when I'm on the bus or something.
Here's a tip I have for a large backlog. Make a chart and only buy one game for every two or three you beat. It's worked like a charm for me. Really helped get the backlog out of the way.

Dead Space on my own and Dead Island with a friend (we're playing online). Both on the PS3.

Max Payne 3 multiplayer mostly, its a bit of a payne (heh) at the start since its so terribly unbalanced, whoever bought the DLC has a really good rifle and who is at max level has a 1 handed sawed off shotgun that kills anyone in one shot for a rather good range considering the weapon that it is.
That's true but at least the progress is palpable as you level up. At least that's what I remember from playing earlier this year. Now I wanna get back into it but I'm afraid I would have to go through an entire session of suck before being as good as I used to be.

Current games that I am actively playing are Tearaway on the Vita (which makes the best use out of all of the Vita's features that I have ever seen and now consider it a must-play title) and Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 on the PS3. I loved the first Lords of Shadow for the story and really wanted to see the continuation. Despite the pretty poor reviews I read, I grabbed it for $18 and so far I am enjoying it.

I also have a few games on hold. Remember Me for PS3, and for PS4 I have Watch Dogs and Lego Marvel Super Heroes. I'm having fun with all of them, but the stories just aren't that great for any of them.

I've just completed Corpse Party for the PSP and have started with the sequel, Book of Shadows. I'm on Chapter 3. I think I prefer the first PSP title and the fan remake, but I haven't really formed an opinion of it yet.

I recently acquired the Xbox version of Project Zero (along with my recently acquired Xbox) and will be continuing that. Next up will be the Wii version of the sequel if I my pants remain unsoiled.

To break things up I'm also replaying Phoenix Wright.

I'm trying to play through my backlog and since it's October, why not finish all those horror games I've got? I am determined to break my habit of rarely finishing my games!

So...basically you need some recommendations , right ?
Try these..

Star wars battlefront 2 ----> Epic wars
Spec ops : the line ----> Just try it
Planescape torment ---> Epic in every way except combat
Rome : total war (original) --> RTS and TBS at its best
Company of heroes ---> Another great RTS
Sins of a solar empire ---> Another great RTSish game in SPACE !
Euro truck sim ---> Great for a comfy experience
Painkiller ---> Great for blowing off steam
Alien shooter 2 ---> Great for blowing steam as you fight 100s of aliens at a time
World of Goo ---> Great puzzle game
Sniper elite ----> The best sniping sim
Deus ex (original as well as HR) ----> RPG with action elements , original is better.
Mount and blade : Warband ---> If you to take part in epic medieval battles and sieges.

Thats all.

I have quite a few on the go:

Playstation 3: Assassins creed IV: Black flag- My favourite Assassins creed game. I am also playing No more heroes which I find quite cathartic, plus I find the visuals to be quite fun.

Playstation 2: Persona 3:FES and Resident Evil 4: Two of my favourite games of all time.

Nintendo 3DS: Super smash bros, Resident Evil: The mercenaries and Pokemon X: Currently playing these to tide me over until Pokemon: Alpha sapphire and Pokemon: Omega ruby are released, and yes, I will be acquiring both.

Playstation one: Resident Evil 2: My favourite game in the Resident evil franchise. I will often play the Leon A scenario when I want to while away a couple of hours. I can probably do that scenario in my sleep.

Guild Wars 2, as usual. Busy with my third legendary.

Also, last week I had a mind to replay the campaigns of some of the Call of Duty games. Started with Modern Warfare and worked my way through MW2, MW3, Black Ops and I'm now finishing BO2. Say what you will, but the campaigns to those games are epic fun.

Additionally I've been trying to get through Borderlands 2 for the first time, but it's slow going.
