I've been having a break from games for a while, but hoping once I've finished my sisters stitch I'll have more time for gaming and smaller stitches! I'm in the middle of Tomb Raider on PS3, Final Fantasy (I forget which number, the one with the chocobo chick in the guys hair (heck I've forgotten his name too! I need to play it again!!)) and on 3DS I'm on the latest Professor Layton and have a unfinished Fire Emblem on the go too, I think I may re-start that its been so long... Not mentioning my ongoing love of Harvest Moon!
I cannot stress enough how much I want the Animal Crossing New Leaf game or Pikmin 3!!! Have plenty to keep me going though, I was given Infamous at christmas and I haven't even begun that yet. :P

and of course on occaision when I'm visiting the family I sometimes play WiiU games with them. :choco

I'm playing a puzzle game on my DS Lite almost every night before I go to sleep because I enjoy puzzles, and I am also playing DQ VIII: Journey of the Cursed King on the PS2. Hubby got us that game several years ago and then lent it to someone at his old work and we never got it back. Our son has been bugging about getting it again, so for his birthday back on the 31st of March, we bought it again and he and I are both playing it about 2 or 3 times a week.

Been playing Persona 4 Golden on the Vita for a while now.

Got the Vita because I was going to be living out of a hotel for several months (work thing), and wasn't sure if I could deal with lugging around the PS3. The work thing is delayed, but not the Vita. What a great game! Got it because I was jonesing for a good JRPG, and that's about the only one I could find for the Vita. I love it so much, I might need to go back and check out some older Persona games.

For me, at the moment, mainly Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix version (trying to complete extra bosses for each story. Also, Finally beat that Mysterious Figure/Unknown secret boss for the first time ever) and Saints Row 2 (currently before final story mission, but completing side stuff).

More casually - Crisis Core (First playthough - Hard Mode. Stuck before final bosses, trying to complete missions to gain good items so I actually have a shot at beating those bosses. Also too stubborn to go back through the game in not-hard mode), FFV (PS version download on PS3) and NSMB U. Also a bit of SimCity too, but I've managed to nearly run one of my Cities into the ground, so not much recently.

Currently playing Borderlands 2 with the bf, and we started Resident Evil 6 as well. I have no sense of direction, and can't figure out the map in Borderlands, so I usually end up following him to where we're supposed to be before wandering off and getting lost again.

When the bfs out, I've been playing Brutal Legend - a game my little brother gave me when his Xbox red-ringed. Loved the game, and I'm now trying to find the last few things for 100% completion.

We've also just purchased a Wii, and are collecting it this weekend. I'm hoping to go shopping for games for it tomorrow (along with some craft supplies!)
Currently attempting: Epic Pokemon Cross Stitch Gen I, M'aiq the Liar
Knitting - Fusion in Paris

:nod This is so me - he got me Borderlands 1 & 2 - I just follow him to do missions and then afterwards I go wander around because I like to look at everything and next thing I know he's on the other side of the map...

Mario DDR. The sampler band made me pull my mat to play and it's a good choice when you hands need a break from stitching.

I'm also running a tabletop RPG with my spouse which has been near-daily since we started this iteration. She's amazing, and I'm lucky to be able to GM for her.

Currently playing FE Awakening as well. I'm not very far (I didn't know there was a marriage system, that's awesome!!) mainly because I'm busy with the upcoming move and also using a lot of my free time to stitch but also because I always end up playing 2-3 games at once... XD The game is really great so far, Fire Emblem games always offer a great challenge, I get so * at it and I love it!!

Also playing Dead Space 2, half way through. A great survival horror series, to anybody that's into the genre, you should try it.

And I was also playing Sega Ages: Phantasy Star I (the fan translated version) and it's really fun, bringing a little bit of nostalgia! :D
Current projects :
Out of commission after surgery until May.

Currently playing : Speed runs of Biohazard HD Remaster

I wonder if the UK gets it before or after you guys? Considering I haven't seen a release date for it anywhere yet I'm guessing we'll be after... :confused:
