I think you're too busy being an 80s man. It's 2014 now.

My only regret is that I have... Boneitis!

PC
Starbound ... so much Starbound.. mining.. ore.. upgrade armor.. build house.. space travel.. ugh. I'm finding myself just completely addicted to it because of the open sand box nature, the old school graphics and the online. Every time I think I'm tired of it I stumble upon a cool alien lab or temple deep in the earth and tear it apart for ore. It may help that I am off work right now... I need some mindless tasks to scratch my brain itch.
If you are on Steam hit me up. I have figured out how to host my world - if you jack all my stuff or wreck my home I'll never forgive you.

Strikers 1945 Plus is pretty much the only game that I've been playing for the last 2 weeks. I don't know what it is, but that game just sucks me in.
Whisper, when you're sick of Ninja Commando, send it to my house.

Hearthstone
I fully intend to play Ketsui this week as it's been sitting on my table since last monday. Hearthstone is just too real though.

PC
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborm-God, this game is so good...
PS3
Beyond: Two Souls-Awesome storylinie, neat intuitive visual queues for QTE combat that needs some refinement to get 'there', but overall plagued by the same problems as Heavy Rain. Thoroughly engrossing story with some interesting situations when you take control of Aidan. Quantic Dreams manages to successfully shine a psychological mirror on the player during these sequences, but they they are entirely confined to the scenes in question and don't seem to have an effect on the end result. As with Heavy Rain, my recommendation is to play it once to experience it and then give it to someone else to do the same. I may do a review of this at some point.
3DS
Bravely Default (demo)-I love this so much. My LE just came in the mail on Friday, but I am going to clear the demo completely before I jump into the full game.
PSP
Final Fantasy: The After Years-Edward post scenario content is way too grindy.
Dissidia Final Fantasy-I have owned them for years but never played them. This game is unabashedly pure fan service and I love it on that level. Can't say much for the camera angle. I also love that the the characters are distinctly different in play styles. Surprisingly more grindy than I was anticipating. I think S-E should hire Arc System Works to do a 2D or 3D fighter with all of their FF franchise characters. It would be really amazing, especially drawing on the art direction of both Yoshitaka Amano and Tetsuya Nomura. I don't know if Dissidia is 'good' but I know I'm enjoying it.
Upcoming:
Lightining Returns: Final Fantasy XIII-I can't wait to see how it all ends. I really came to love the storyline after playing through XIII-2 so I'm excited to jump right into this.

Ha, I'm in the same boat. Got my LE on Friday, but I haven't even opened it yet as I want to play through the demo first. I've downloaded it, but barely put a dent in it.

Xbox:
Panzer Dragoon Orta - Haven't played a single game in this series till now & man, this game is great. I can't to play Zwei & Azel once I get a Saturn.
Jet Set Radio Future - I'm still early in the game & so far, it's pretty fun. The soundtrack is ok, but it's hard to listen to for extended periods of time.
Sega GT 2002 - Got it with JSRF. Meh, it sucks.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance - Nothing special, but it's a pretty good beat em' up.
Wii:
Elebits - Started a new game after not playing it for a long time. I wish Konami would've made a genuine sequel instead of that DS spinoff.
Mega Man 10 - I don't remember the other classic Mega Man games being this hard. My expectations were pretty low, so at least I wasn't too disappointed.
