Games you've recently played

Just to name two games I've been playing a ton lately, Civilization V and Burnout Paradise.
Civ V is a game that's REALLY easy to get sucked into without even realizing it, you're like "lemme just start a game and play a bit" and before you realize it you're on turn 200 and it's been 3 hours since you started playing. Helps that the game itself is quite fun, especially in regards to when you play your cards right and get so far ahead of everyone else that you're like 2 eras ahead of everyone else. I don't play on Diety though, I play on Medium (or whatever medium is called), not a fan of playing on the hardest difficulties in games usually (unless if I get REALLY good at playing), plus from what I've read it's a LOT of micromanaging and using ultra-specific strategies to win, so I think I'm good on that for a while >_>

Burnout Paradise on the other hand is simply just dumb fun, just going as fast as I can and creating massive crashes (and crash chains) is just endlessly entertaining. I actually don't play racing games much (though I should change that, more of a fan of the arcade-style racing games rather than sim racers) but Burnout Paradise is one of the main games I've been playing on my PS3 recently, along with I wanna say COD4 (and MW2), Skate 2, Tony Hawk's Proving Ground, and Mirror's Edge. The soundtrack really helps the game too, plowing through races set to Killswitch Engage or Saosin just makes it even better.
