My favourite game full stop is The Longest Journey, followed closely by its sequel, Dreamfall. I've played TLJ at least once a year since learning of it, followed by Dreamfall in the years since its release. I enjoy adventure games generally, and I'll play just about any adventure game that I come across (Fahrenheit was a decent and somewhat recent one; I've not yet had the time to play Amnesia, but I've heard that it's decent as well), and generally will give visual novels a chance, despite the decent ones being rare (Hotel Dusk is amongst the better of those translated into English). And then there're the obvious light western RPGs -- DA, Mass Effect, Fable. I'll play JRPGs now and then as my partner likes them, but the only one that I've played in the past few years and didn't dislike was the FF:Crystal Chronicles GameCube game.

Civilizations has long been my go-to time waster, but I'm not too happy with Civ V. I like some of the changes -- the resources, the fighting, the city states -- but I sorely miss the religions of Civ IV.

I also like playing rhythm games at the arcade, especially Dance Dance Revolution and Taiko no Tatsujin. I usually go for rhythm games on hand-helds as well, like Taiko no Tatsujin and Patapon for DS and PSP. I may at times be found singing the patapons' songs to myself as I walk about. (^^; (o/~ pon pon pata po~n papara papaa~ o/~)

and I have a somewhat guilty love for GTA San Andreas, as horrid as that series can be. It's well done and hilarious, and I like taking over turf. (^^;

oh and I might also enjoy scouring the shops for Japanese pr0n games to play with my friends or partner and mock mercilessly; they're awful but zomg hilarious
