The LEGO games definitely hit a rough spot for a while (the first Batman, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings were all bland as hell) but they really rebounded over the past few years. Batman 2 and Marvel Super Heroes are both great.
I've watched the wife play Fallout 4 for ~80 hours. (To be fair, I got to play a couple of the rougher combat sequences. And all the, quote, "boring stuff" such as upgrading equipment and organizing junk.)
Fallout 4 is our new Borderlands 2, just without the splitscreen.

I've been in some serious pain with (probably) gout in my hand, since Christmas day so I haven't played anything since then. I got Shadow of Mordor GOTY and Rise of the Tomb Raider for Christmas and Assassin's Creed Syndicate is my latest rental. Might try to play a little of one of them today, see how that goes.
LEGO Star Wars II for me..... Is there an official patch for the game that removes the need for the disk? Fun but now I am wondering if I'll have to download something naughty like a hacked .exe to not have to worry about the disk?
BTW I've given up on The Crew. I am just not finding it fun. Not a petrol head at all and while I do like driving games it just feels bland and dull.

I got Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection for Christmas and have been playing through Drake's Fortune (it looks amazing). I'm trying to decide if I want to play through it again on Crushing, move on to Among Thieves, or play inFamous: Second Son on evil hard mode to get the platinum trophy

I'm playing Powerstar Golf on the Xbox One, and even though it's a "free" title, I couldn't see myself buying the expansions on it. I mean, the graphics look okay, but the mechanics don't feel right, and quite frankly it looks too cartoony for me.
Hm.. I`m playing my favourite RPG Gothic 4. The first of 4 games developed not by the Piranha Bytes. It was developed by the Spellbound Entertainment and they promised to make the game interesting and the did it. As at this part, everything has been turned upside down. the main character is practically the main villain 
Spent a couple hours downloading it, played it for five minutes then deleted it.

Life is full of hard decisions.
On my shelf right now, I've got the three Lego Batman games, Jurassic World, The Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones (the first one, not the second), Marvel, Star Wars - The Complete Saga & Star Wars III: The Clone Wars. The Complete Saga is the only one of those I haven't finished to 100% (stupid blue canister time trials)....and I've played through all but Jurassic World a couple of times on different consoles.
I've also completed Lego The Hobbit and Pirates of the Caribbean to 100%, I just don't have my copies of 'em anymore. Prefer LotR to Hobbit, especially since they never did find a way to include the third movie, and PotC, once finished, wasn't really all that interestin'.
Still workin' my way through Lego The Lego Movie, downloaded on my console's hard drive. I got it free or cheap, can't remember which, and it is the worst of the bunch.
My nephews have their own copies for Lego Star Wars & Batman (PS2 & Wii versions) and Lego Marvel (xbox 360).
My sister has the two Lego Harry Potter games for the xbox 360.
And I have Lego Avengers on pre-order at GameStop. My nephews, sister & I all enjoy these games. I liked 'em a bit more before the characters could talk - the pantomime cracked me up durin' story mode.
I finished the story for Bioshock the other day. May have to play through that again, only to harvest the Little Sisters instead of savin' 'em, see how that changes the endin'.
Been playin' the first Dead Island the last few days. I'm 13% through the main story mode - keep gettin' distracted by side quests & achievements.
One of the happiest gaming moments with my wife was when she (after roughly 30 minutes of the Pirates of the Caribbean LEGO game that I had bought because two separate friends liked it as a couples co-op game) asked "can we play an actual video game now? this is boring".
(Disclaimer: Not a front against people who like the LEGO games, which, of course all of them are a perfectly valid thing to enjoy.)

LEGO Star Wars II. I just can't get that last cannister on the Death star.... Grrrrrr

Is it blue? I hate those damn blue cannisters in The Complete Saga!
I'm offended!!!
No, not really...I get that they are games geared toward kids, but I still like most of 'em. I don't like Harry Potter, so I haven't played either of 'em, and the second Indiana Jones kinda sucks compared to the first one, and the third Batman was a bit of a disappointment, since the open world was empty once ya found all the stuff.

I was planning on Alpha Protocol before but it's being a bit crash happy. Thought I'd give a quick go of the 2013 Trek game instead as when I'd previously played it, I'd sort of given up on it.
It's not great, but I'm actually enjoying it this time round.

Still playing Star Trek: Alien Domain. I have not paid for anything so it's taking me longer to get anywhere.
Still playing Xenoblade Chronicles X (it's a big game) - but I finally got my skell the other day and been having some fun times cruising around. But then I had a set of missions all around the same time that had several characters (NPCs, but still) die right in front of me (one of which was because of a decision I made on an earlier mission), so that was a bit of a bummer.
