I haven't commented on what I've been playing recently, mainly because I haven't been playing much of anything new.
When I picked up Mario Golf: Advance Tour and Mega Man Anniversary Collection, I played those obsessively for a few weeks. Now that I've finished both of them though, my choice of games has been pretty eclectic.
Any multiplayer gaming has been going into the SSBM obsession that I share with a couple friends. I've had the game since it came out in December 2001, and it still gets more playtime than basically any other game.
Any solo gaming has been split up lately between Tetris DX, KOTOR and the newly-released-yet-bargain-priced ESPN NFL 2k5.
I'm not much of a sports gamer anymore, but when ESPN was released for a mere $20, I figured I couldn't really go wrong. So far, that's been true too. I've really enjoyed the game, though the few online sessions I've tried with it have told me that I'm not very good at it. It's an extremely solid football game whose only major problem is some occassionally moronic AI (mainly during blocking). Everything else is really top-notch. The franchise mode is made for the obsessive compulsive, the crib gives you a reason to keep playing and sets up certain goals for you to accomplish, and the ESPN 25th Anniverary mode lets you recreate various historic NFL games. Really a great game, even if you're not that into sports games. You'll definitely get your money's worth and then some.
