So here's my list:
Guitar Hero (any variant, 2, '80s, 3)
Dance Dance Revolution/StepMania (proud owner of a RedOctance Ignition 3.0)
Crazy Taxi (I lose too quickly)

I used to have 2 Ignitions, until I sold them and bought an Afterburner instead
I'm pretty hardcore at Guitar Hero also.
I'm very similar, all PC FPS all the way. The only long-term game* I ever got involved in was Super Mario Galaxy, and somewhat Soul Caliber 3 (though that is pretty much pick-up-and-play also). I was in a pretty hardcore Call of Duty clan for 1 and 2 (as well as UT2k4), until they disbanded and I kind of got out of that scene. I've picked up CoD4 and UT3 though, and they are ridiculously amazing games.
I never really liked Halo, since I blow at console FPS's (lack of keyboard/mouse is baad), but I've been playing a lot with my friend lately and I'm getting better. It's definitely a fun game for short periods of time, but I don't see how it's so MASSIVELY popular. I'd take any CoD or any UT over Halo any day.
*with the exclusion of my younger years, when I played Super Mario World for HOURS upon HOURS.
