Right now, I'm playing through House of the Dead: Overkill, Zelda II, and F-Zero X, all for Wii. For the rest of June, I'll probably be playing through Punch-Out! and whatever else GameFly decides to send me. In July, I'll pick up a copy of WiiSports Resort, as I've been sold on it since I learned about the 1:1 ratio swordfighting. There's also the possibility of good Virtual Console and WiiWare games coming out sometime this summer.
And they say there's nothing to play during the summer....

I bought Infinite Undiscovery and Lost Odyssey a few months ago, but I haven't really got around to playing them yet. Done about an hour on Infinite Undiscovery, while I haven't touched Lost Odyssey at all. Oh, and I bought Blue Dragon about a year ago and have a total of about 2 hours play time.
Then there's the bad/neutral karma replay on Fallout 3. Guitar Hero and Rock Band never get old... so yeah, I've got plenty to keep me occupied. Which is just as well really, since I'll be spending a lot of time sitting around doing nothing else.

Going to be grabbing TF2 next week. Will be spending the next 3 months recovering from the shock of actually being able to play that game with PATCHES and UNLOCKABLES and even *gasp* NEW PLAY TYPES.
Please Note:- I'm just sarcastic, NOT Fanboy Material.
Thinking of getting a couple of other Valve games too. Awesome team.

I'm planning on finally finishing Baldur's Gate II. I'm playing through Throne of Bhaal at the moment, and it is ridiculously difficult. Still, it definitely won't take me the whole summer to complete, and judging by how much progress I've made in it over the last couple of days, I might actually finish it in a week or two.
If that is the case, I think I'll probably get KotOR and play through that. It's a game I've been meaning to play for a long time, but have never really managed to get round to.

Two words; Mass Effect. I plan on being as nerdy as possible and finding out the absolute best combinations to use in my quest to make the perfect warrior; then, I'll create me a good 2-3 profiles, level them all up, and wait for the release of Mass Effect 2. All other games are inferior to my fanboy eye.
Of course, I'm going to spend barely any time near a computer this summer, so we'll see how well my plan carries out.

Summer is generally not a time for games for me. It's a time to be outside with your mates, enjoying the sun while you can...
*Bursts out laughing*
I'm sorry, I just couldn't keep a straight face.
Probably be catching up on a few games I haven't got a chance to complete, as well as playing the usual (L4D, CoD4, TF2 ect).

Monster hunter, Red Faction: Guerrilla warfare, COD:W@W cause I'm still addicted 
Not forgetting odds and ends like rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: Metallica, might get Bionic commando aswell. InFamous looks pretty good from Yahtzee's review too, I'm all for being evil and beating people with an acoustic guitar

Ill probably be getting back into Gears of War 2 (because I renewed my Live Gold Subscription) and maybe Halo 3 (a lot of people play it). I plan on picking up Banjo Tooie from Live later today.
I might check out Punch Out on Wii and I REALLY wanna check out Ghostbusters (Don't act like you don't love it!). Batman Arkham Asylum comes out at the end of summer so that is something to look forward to. Also, King of Fighters XII comes out in July.
I still need to finish Dragon Quest V and Pokemon Platinum on my DS...

Ghostbusters, Maybe Sims 3 then a variety of 1-player X360 games that I never gave a go.
Note: A few have said theyre gonna gety Farcry 2 but I really dont see why its such a good game - I found it very bland and boring compared to many other games.

You're lucky you're not within slapping distance, my friend.tendo82 said:
I'm replaying Professor Layton right now, in anticipation of the new one coming out. Also eagerly anticipating the release of Afrika in August. I'm playing a lot of casual games, too. They just seem to go better with hot weather, for some reason.
Oddly enough, my summer will be spent with old games, like Grandia and Breath of Fire III / IV. Other than those, I will be playing Fallout 3, NWN2, and Final Fantasy XII.
I'm playing Knights in the Nightmare, Suikoden DS (meh), and Kingdom Hearts 358/2.
Eagerly awaiting Blazeblue!!! .. and KoF XII.. I'm considering waiting until XIII comes out. The only characters I like to play from this set are Terry, Benimaru, and Kim. Kyo from 2000 is amazing, but his 94' set is a poor man's Athena, Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Dan.. I think you get my point. I will only be truly disappointed if they get American actors to do the voices... Or worse, get the actors from the new movie to do the voices.. *shiver* I love Terry's horrible pronunciation. ^o^ Basta! Wolfu! xD
I would also be a little upset if his rising tackle doesn't make it in there.. I haven't watched the gameplay trailers close enough to see if he has it, but I can only hope that this isn't going to be so simplified that I feel like I'm playing the much overrated SF4. Hadoken! Hadoken! Hadoken!
