I can't wait 'til I can get that game... it's a shame I couldn't afford it at launch, when there would have been more people playing then there ever will be again (at least until some cool updates come out).  Playing: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky (PC) I had another little problem with BioShock. Whenever the game isn't closed properly (say, because the game crashes), all of the settings (graphics, audio, controls...) are reset to default. I've had to redo all of the settings three or four times so far, and it's getting on my nerves.
I'm still enjoying the game, though, except for one cheap part that I just played through with endlessly respawning enemies... Playing: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky (PC) I'm just starting to cut my teeth on Civ 4 and fortunately / unfortunately I'm finding it to have the same consuming effect on me that Sins does. I can just boot up the game and won't be able to pry my eyes from the screen or my mind from the game for hours and hours on end. At least the turn based gameplay helps me fit in bathroom and beer breaks easier than sins does. I still have a lot to learn though as I'm still a 4x noob. I'll probably start a dedicate thread on the topic soon.

WAS playing Exodus From the Earth, a budget FPS that I pulled off Steam for ten bucks. I don't think it was worth five. Semi interesting story, but lackluster gunplay and enemies who all have the same animation. Old school graphics and horrible voice acting. Poor presentation as a whole. My third bummer in two weeks.
The thing is you could play Fallout for 30-40 hours and get one of the best gaming experiences of the year and then set it down. Or you could keep going with the same character and play another 30-40 hours and get an even more amazing experience. I've put in 35 and set it aside for the time being to catch up on other games, but I fully intend on coming back to it and putting another very significant chunk of time in.
Left 4 Dead is still the shit. I'm really loving it right now, even if it is keeping me away from Fallout.
Right now, due to family and work, I'm only jumping on occasionally to relax. I've been downloading and playing several user-made Portal maps. Some are quite good, others suck. One pissed me off because once I finally figured out the trick he wanted me to figure out to get a companion cube way back up to where I started..... he had it timed to disappear so I had to go back down and start over... that one really irked me.
Once in awhile I'll run a favorite level in TimeShift or Crysis or Bioshock... PS2Fish and I were talking about Frontlines Fuel of War and I think I'd like to give it a run. The Stalker and Fallout series too. I just don't have time to start new ones right now. 
The main storyline of Fallout 3, I find, is surprisingly short. I think I may have spent around 15 hours or so on the main parts (that's an estimate). The sidequests really eat up the hours, though. I think I spent around 30 hours or so to finish the game. Playing: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky (PC)
I think there may be a BioShock map in Garry's Mod, and there are several Portal gun mods for it... and you can download some Big Daddy character models... of course, that wouldn't quite the same. Playing: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky (PC)
i still have Dead Space to go through. I guess there's no chance of this game being in the bargain aisle anytime soon?
It's an indie game turned retail release with the HL2 Orange Box. You can grab it off Steam for cheap. Awesome game!
EDIT: If you've got other games waiting to be played, do know that Portal is the type of game that you can play for an 30 minutes or an hour at a time. It works that way.
And when you're done, there are hundreds of user made maps to download and keep the fun (sometimes) coming... and when you're done, this is interesting reading: Portal Back Story
But don't read it until you're finished, it might ruin the game for you.
