Since I mainly play RPG's and the like kind of games, I generally find myself focusing on one game at a time. But recently I've found myself taking on multiple duties. I'm playing, Drakan: The Ancient Gates, the emulated fan translation of FFV (I own the Anthology with FFV in it for PSX, so I figure my conscience is clear, I just can't stand that translation - what's up with Farris in that??), KOTOR on the PC, with Jak3 and Gothic 2 patiently waiting in the wings.

And I'm contemplating picking up either Morrowind or the Platinum Neverwinter Nights - aarrghh!!!!!

So what's in your consoles and installed on your PC right now?

the emulated fan translation of FFV
Heh, just finshed that myself a couple weeks ago.

Right now I am shuffling between MechAssault 2, Dragon Quest 6, and the bonus dungeons on DQ3, DQ5 and FF1+2.

Right now. I got Midways Arcade Treasure 2 in my console of choice and I am currently playing Space Quest 2 in order to get rid of some of the bad taste in my mouth form Lesuire Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude by playing some old school aventure games.
 
DS: Mario 64 and Mario & Luigi SuperStar Saga
Cube: Paper Mario 2 and X-Men Legends
PS2: nothing for a while, I'll probably continue GTA: SA next.
PC: nothing for a long time.

edit: I usually try to play just one same kind of game at a time, playing Paper Mario and SuperStar Saga at the same time is kind of confusing.

I try not to play more than two games at a time, but I often leave a lot of games installed on my PC incase I get in the mood for some quick action. Installing games is a pain in the ass. Right now I'm playing Rome:TW and Halo 2.
 
PS2: Just finished MGS3 yesterday, now I am gonna play: GTA SA, Sly 2, Dark Cloud 2, and Ace Combat V (mainly unlocking aircraft, got the Falken yesterday :)

PC: No singleplayer games only multiplayer: Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam

My sister sits in front of the tv all day so its kinda hard to play PS2. :( I am stuck with old Pc games.

MGS3- Game of the year as far as I'm concerned. In fact, its the best game I've played this generation.

Xenogears- Replaying this one though it's not quite as good as I remembered. The text moves so sloooooow that it's agrivating

Halo 2 Multiplayer- Don't play this one too much anymore. Maybe it's because i suck :)

mostly counter strike: source, but i've been getting pretty crappy scores lately so I might drop it for a while.

I'm also playing MP2 on my GCN.... sort of. I got to the very last boss and died and haven't attempted it again since.

GameCube: Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door.

Recieved MP2:E, Pikmin 2 for Christmas as well, but want to attempt to play one at a time. So, finishing PM before heading back to University is the plan, then onto the others...and Minish Cap.

Too frickin many:

GC
Metroid Prime 2 - I'm at the Sky Temple, not too much left to go. More than likely finish it tomorrow or saturday.
Megaman X COmmand Mission - Stopped at Chapter 4 once I got MP2. I pick it up every now and then and make a little progress, but once I'm finished with Echoes, I'll get back to this full time.
Lord of the Rings: TTA - just started. Another one that I'll get back to when I'm done with Echoes.

PS2
Shadow Hearts Covenant - I just got Kevin. I make the mistake of playing this when I get out of work at 11, and by then I start nodding off after a half hour.
SSX3 - I have Elise almost fully maxed out and I've completed 90% of the goals on Peak 1 and 2.

PC
Grand Theft Auto 3 - I don't even remember how far in I am. Shit.
Silent Hill 4 - I'm just not feeling this one. I guess playing SIlent Hill 2 and 3 back to back, and then jumping into this one might have done it. That and it runs a bit slow on my comp.

How do I do it, I don't know.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I have gaming ADD.

I just started Freedom Force and NOLF, and I was in the middle of finishing Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Beneath a Steel Sky, Shadow of the Comet, and then I started with some old Sierra games with my new Virtual PC. That thing works better than I would've thought.
 
I'm not really playing through any games right now. I play Halo 2 multiplayer with my friends on Xbox Live (usually under PantsOfSCIENCE, we have three accounts in the house) and I play some of the GC quick action games I just picked up (Alien Hominid, Ikaruga, and Wario Ware) but nothing long term since I got bored with Disgaea.

I'm really just waiting for GT4 and some Intelligent Systems strategy games to come out. Unless I come home and someone has bought me Rome: Total War (and upgraded my computer too), that is.

edit: The most I can handle is two-three games at a time (in different genres).

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!
Only games I am actively playing are Halo 2 Legendary run(3 levels left) and WoW. Massive backlog though...

I usually play two games at a time, one for the computer and one on the console.
