i like my martinis extra dirty. i prefer vodka, though a traditional martini would require gin. as for those other drinks, they're just cocktails in martini glasses. calling a drink a martini just gives the bar a reason to charge twice as much as it's worth...
IMHO, if it doesn't have gin, vodka and/or vermouth in it, it's just a cocktail served in a classic glass. That said, whatever is in a chocolate martini is awfully good!

I like my martinis made with gin, very very dry. My method is to pour the vermouth over the olives before I put them in the glass. I learned that trick from my bartender and it works quite well.
Sometimes to change it up I use olives stuffed with something, such as garlic, almonds, or blue cheese.
