On-Going:
Jesus, Gaming (Xbox 360, retro)

Recent:
In 2010 I became besmirched with all things Scott Pilgrim, thanks to Edgard Wright's excellent movie. I've got the graphic novels, and I hope to snag some awesome movie tie-ins, like The Clash At Demonhead posters, etc.

History:
I used to game on the PC a lot but not anymore, as I prefer to spend the time on the couch on the 360. I do computer programming for a living so sitting in front of a desk at home doesn't generally mean fun time to me.

I own a Xbox 360 120GB and a PS3 60GB, but usually only play non-exclusives on the 360 due to Live and achievements (I'm a bit of an addict). The PS3 is primarily used for family and PS2/PS1 games. I appreciate all current and past games said to be classics, as long as they aren't in the survival horror genre (L4D 1 & 2 are excluded, of course).

I love fun racers (NFS Most Wanted is my favorite. Forza 3 is also brilliant!), solid Bioware-esque RPG's (KotOR, Dragon Age, or Deus Ex), exciting action/adventure games (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, Heavenly Sword) and high quality side-scrollers (Shadow Complex, All 2D Metroids).

I play games to have fun and for good stories. Anything else is a waste of my time.
One day I plan to buy the original SNES Final Fantasy 3 for our old SNES. I don't do a ton of retro gaming, but this is one game that captured my heart more than any other. I beat it I believe when I was 15, I had only the main character alive with 7hp at the end of the final battle. This is one reason I will always love the 16-bit era.

Games from the current console generation I've found amazing:
Shadow Complex (XBLA)
Braid (XBLA)
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (360)
Dragon Age: Origins (360)
Forza 3 (360)
Gears Of War 2 (360)
Red Dead Redemption (360/PS3)
Saints Row the Third (360/PS3)
Heavenly Sword (PS3)
Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3)
Little Big Planet (PS3)

Favorite console:
Current Gen - Xbox 360
Any Gen - SNES

My favorite games of all time:
1. Final Fantasy 3 (SNES) - simply the best.
2. Deus Ex (PC) - still amazing after all these years.
3. Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast (PC) - an amazing game that I still play.
4. Heavenly Sword (PS3) - the first real PS3 game I played.
5. Metal Gear Solid (PSX) - Kojima knows how to make 'em!
6. Need For Speed: Most Wanted (360) - most fun I've ever had racing.
