Games you are playing now (PC edition)

Since I'm getting burned out on COD WaW, and waiting around for BF BC2, I thought I see what everyone else was playing in their spare time. Doesn't matter if it is co-op, mp, or sp.

For me:
COD WaW
GTA IV
Burnout Paradise
BF2, every once in a while

I've been giving thoughts to Borderlands, but I much prefer multiplayer online over singleplayer games. Also, I'm surprised at how much smoother GTA IV is on my i7 than it was on my Q9400 even when my Q was overclocked to 3.2ghz and the 920 at stock speeds. It's just soooo much smoother that it makes the game more enjoyable to play.

HL1 - now that's a goodie! The game from that era that I keep coming back to is Unreal Tournament. Now that's a fantastic game if ever there was one.

Are there people still playing HL1 over the internet now? Also, don't you just love the way a graphically weak PC of today can play a graphically intensive game that needed a grand's worth of hardware from yesteryear?

left 4 dead 2 (getting old @ +15 hours in / ready for DLC), a little fortress forever and MW2 (only spec ops though, me and friends try to beat each others time) SP is boring and MP is meh..but spec ops is fun for some reason.

I liked the graphics. I loved the cars and sound of the engines. Was not too satisfied from the gameplay.

I was playing loads of games at once, but then came along Heroes of Newerth... this game is so GOOD!!!

Already put in over 100+ hours into it, play it whenever i get the chance, suggest everyone to check it out...it's only in beta atm but it's bascially DOTA from WC3 if anyones played that before, but upgraded.

Just had my first real crack at L4D2 last night. Fun game. Also bought GRID but haven't tried it yet cuz I'm waiting on a controller (everyone tells me not to even TRY on a keyboard.)

Others in my rotation:
The Witcher
GTA4
