For this thread we will post what game we are playing. Simple as that. And as of the point where you are at in the game, what you like about the game, how far you are in it, and anything else about it. Then post what you will play after the current game is beaten.
Right now I am playing Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. I am currently not very far in it at all. I have to balance this and work and school, so this gets pushed to the back. I think this game is awesome. The graphics are top notch, the music is cool, and the story is neat as it is telling a story.
After this game I am going to be playing Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (duh).

Well, I wasn't impressed by the graphics, nor the music, but they are just okay on my scale.
The story does the typical: good guy has to defeat armies of evil with girl and beat evil genius stuff that most games do. There is one part that caught my attention, perhaps you'll find it.
The gameplay is... linear and short. It only took me a litter under 10 hours to beat it. There isn't much to unlock either. Platforming is simple and combat is just button mashing (well there probably are some strategies, but I found button mashing to work anyway).
Oh right! What am I playing?
Well, I play Natural-Selection, which is a mod for Half-Life. I like it because every other mod for HL requires "AIM FASTER THAN HIM!" gameplay, which I dislike. Of course this mod is mostly no different, but there are some parts where you don't have to have ninja reflexes, yet you can still be effective.
For my gamecube, I'm playing Phantasy Star Online Episode III. It's not a common game, because most gamers would gladly play their mindless shooting RE4s, button mashing KH2 or crappy and short single player conclusion Halo 2's (ooh, I'm going to be hated for that one).
It's a... (once people hear this they expect it to be terrible) card game, similar to Magic or YuGiOh. The great part is that you just play, not pay to get new cards. The AI can be challenging and making your own deck gives me a lot of freedom I don't get in games where I'm forced to do something a certain way. With over 400 cards and 4 players support (with only 2 controllers), this game can last a very long time.
Well that's what I'm doing.
