Status : Offline | Not quiet on my PC! I'm just back from some surgery at the hospital so have accumulated a pile of games to keep me occupied during recovery
I don't know if it's an adventure game or 'other' but I'm playing Stacking. I've been waiting for it to come out on the PC and from my first few hours it has definitely been worth the wait. Really colorful dreamlike environments with lots of fun things to do, and clever puzzles. The art style is such an escape from the realism you tend to get in games these days.
Also got Mass Effect 3 going but I haven't been able to play it for more than an hour-long session. I don't know what it is but I'm finding it really labored and lacking the energy of the last 2 games. Maybe I just need to be in the right mood.

same here, but that doesn't stop me from buying new stuff 
Next on the list:
Fallout3: I haven't even touched the DLC's yet, and there's probably still a lot to discover in the main game
Skyrim: also a lot of stuff to do, mainly secondary quests and the final portion of the MQ
The Witcher 2, Ioverth's path this time, i got bored with the other questline somewhere during chapter 3. But it's on hold until the next patch

Status : Offline | The way I play games changed a lot since The Witcher 2. I still feel like I cannot let it go, but I'm holding off until EE patch... it will be my 5th play-through. Sigh.
However, I finished Deus Ex (the original one) yesterday, it was a wonderful game. I want to re-play it, but not really, because the setting is so bleak I don't know if I'll be able to handle it for another 20-30 hours. There are some things I'd like to do differently. I also picked up DX3:HR on Steam sale a couple of days ago, so it should keep me amused.
But yeah, I'm mainly still hung over The Witcher 2.
@markornikov
Roche's path is a damn bore until the end of Act 2. Act 3 is slightly better because it's short, yet packed with action. But Iorveth will always be my love <3 I'm curious to see what stuff they will add; I'm trying not to spoil myself too much, but from the stuff I've heard... oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

You are in for quite a treat with Deus Ex Human Revolution. I found it to be better than the first game in many ways, the most important being the stealth mechanics.

Status : Offline | Well I'm back. I go through phases of playing and hadn't done much for weeks.
I've got Syberia 2 on the go but have just spent 3 hours today with Geralt. I am replaying (and this time intent on finishing) The Witcher. Just began the fantastically intricate 2nd Chapter and am already getting confused with all the intrigue and the suspects... Loving it!
Currently playing: Dragon Age Origins, Dishonored, The Witcher, Fallout 3, Deponia

LoL, yes on my second playthrough Chapter 2 also had me scratching my head - yet again! as to the correct order to do things in and when (or not) to accuse whom...

Status : Offline | I am looking foward to Deus Ex III, a remarkable series and i love the atmopshere and game play dyanmics of both the first two, fine seres and I was surprised and happy they did the new one. I have avoided screen shots and any info to be surprised when i can get to it, too much else for now for a while.

Status : Offline | I finally finished Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate with all the DLCs and am now trudging through Neverwinter Nights 2 Platinum before eventually tackling several newer SP RPGs including Dragon Age 2 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which are already downloaded and installed with The Witcher 2, Mass Effect 3 and Skyrim yet to buy in what I consider to be the super-premium CRPG category.
Am also still wading through a very long list of shooters missed along the way and keeping an eye out for any new AAA PC adventure titles on the horizon.
Cheers, Terry
