Minecraft - an indie game developer's take on an MMO lego concept. Alpha quality software written in java, that somehow rises above being just the sum of it's parts. You dig up stuff, and use it to build. I've been pottering around on the BuxVille server, which is run by the same guy who ran the WoW raid group I used to play with.
Web
WordSquared - Basically, solo Scrabble on an infinite board that is shared with other people. Surprisingly addictive, especially given I don't usually enjoy word games.
iPhone
Zen Bound - a puzzle game in which you wrap a statue in string. A delightful, and lovingly crafted game.
Carcassonne - a classic board game, faithfully recreated on the iPhone, with support for AI players, ranked "quick play" with strangers, and play-by-mail style play with friends.
Tabletop
Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition - (with friends from work). With the 4th edition, Wizards of the Coast have supplemented the classic pen and paper role playing experience with elements of board game and card games. I'm still new to the system, but so far it's been fun. I rolled a Minotaur Battlemind.
Shameless Self Promotion
