Remember Me - it's pretty fun. Basically Uncharted movement mechanics with Arkham Asylum combat, with a memory-based plot. I was a tad disappointed recently to find out that it was shorter than I previously thought.

I need to pick something else up soon though. Anyone want to make a recommendation from the following?

- Tales of Xillia (Played and loved Tales of Graces)
- FF13: Lightning Returns (Played FF13 & 13-2... alright overall, tempted to finish it all off)
- Dragon Age Origins (Just finished Mass Effect series - I hear it's similar, but fantasy rather than space)
- Sly Cooper series (I hear good things all in all - never played any of them)
- Uncharted 3 (Played the first 2 - pretty good fun)
- Ni no kuni: Wrath of the White witch (I like Studio Ghibli & RPG's)
- Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages (Never played a handheld Zelda game before but I hear these ones are good)
- Spec Ops: The Line (Not normally a fan of military shooters, but that's why I'm curious about this one)
- White Knight Chronicles (It's an RPG... that's all I know)
- Shadow of the Colossus (I really liked ICO)
-
- EDIT: Almost forgot... Persona Series (I hear very good things)
Get Spec ops : the line as soon as possible then if you feel like you want to take part in a epic quest , get Dragon age origins which is much better than mass effect in every way (personal opinion) . Haven't played the rest.

I'd say play Shadow of the Colossus, if only because it's very short. Even if you take it slow, 8 hours should see you through it and it might well be one of the greatest gaming experiences you'll find. It was for me. :3

I've been playing Brutal Legend lately. I got the game on Steam 2 years ago but never really got that far in before forgetting about it. Recently reinstalled it and have been enjoying the fuck out of it.

I went yesterday at 10am and bought Bayonetta 1 & 2 for the WiiU
Now 34 hours later I have played through the first one in 16.5 hours. On most maps I got the worst result and I died a lot. It was a speedrun through, never played the first one before and the set with the first one in it only cost 10? more than only Bayo2. So now I know the backstory if that is needed for the second one. It was a fun game and maybe I'll try and replay it with better results sometime. But tomorrow I'll start playing the second one and I'll try to get more collectibles and then there's the online mode I'll be playing with my Escapist pals :D
Other than that it's been a lot of Hyrule Warriors and in one month itll be SmashBros.

Still playing destiny for the daily missions so I can get enough materials to upgrade my gear. After which I pop in my copy of the evil within and been having blast making my way threw it. Also been dabbling in the user created content for the new Disney infinity and borderless the pre squeal which were co-oping together.

Spec Ops The Line, it'll make you feel like shit but in a good way. Most military shooters leave you bored after a while, that one you'll actually remember.

Also Shadow of the Colossus, sure there's like 13 enemies but the smallest one is the size of a bull while the larger ones will leave your jaw on the floor wondering how the hell you're gonna bring it down. Each one is a puzzle to defeat and the game in general is so unique you gotta play it.

I just got XCOM: Enemy Unknown for free from Green Man Gaming along with Enemy Within on the cheap (sidenote: This is one of the only times one of those "sign up with us now" deals was actually worth it). I love the game and I only just recently started to play with MEC troopers, but from what I have seen so far, HOLY HELL do the aliens not stand a chance. I may bump the difficulty up next playthrough, though I have heard classic is tough in the early game.

Mainly Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, with a dash of Wolfenstein: TNO thrown in.
Both are bloody amazing games.

X-Com: Enemy Unknown: I recently picked this game up for free thanks to a GOTY awards thing I voted in, and they were also nice enough to send me a code for 80% off the expansion Enemy Within. I havent played EW yet, however EU is really, really good. Its tough (especially the final room of the final area, Im almost inclined to say that room is total bullshit.), yet generally fair, with just enough random chance to make things interesting. You form a real connection with your squad as you grow in strength and barely scrape out a victory over a tough enemy. I really cant wait to start EW, any expansion to this already fantastic game is welcome, and with large mods such as Long War available, this is going to occupy me for a while.
I am currently playing X-com- EW.

Protips -
Last room boss. What you need is two squadsight snipers.

EW -

memitic skins is permanent ghost armor.
MECs. I don't use them but we have them.

Good luck with final boss. I think I will make 6 man sniper team now.
I beat him last night after i found out that he doesnt trigger if you just hug the wall after going through that narrow corridor, I still really hate how the encounter was set up though. Once I figured out that, then enounter itself wasnt too difficult (thank god I bought a heavy and saved a rocket and a shredder rocket, that made my life so much easier in dealing with him)

Playing Borderlands 2 right now, have tried to play it multiple times but always quit out of boredom but got into it again thanks to the pre-sequel.
I'm less concerned about checking every possible loot container now (which I used to do on my previous playthroughs) so I'm actually getting somewhere and it's kind of fun now actually.

Also to the people laying X-Com right now, what difficulty are you guys playing on, because on both normal and classic difficulty I found the last room to be kind of joke really, I just slowly advanced until my first unit triggered the cutscene on it's first movement point, after that I just opened fire with my shredder rocket followed by the squadsight sniper(s) and the run and gun double tapping shotgun assault guy that's now standing next to whoever needs to be dead quickly.
Seriously, standing next to someone and double-tapping a shotgun deals insane amounts of damage.

Right now I'm playing 007 Legends for the second time. It's actually kind of fun when you don't take it seriously. I've been meaning to write a review of it, but it would be mostly ranting and no one really wants to hear about it. If anyone is interested in whether or not it's a good game, it's not. At all.

Also I've been skipping around old games lately, and I'm toying with the idea of selling one of my special edition games for Far Cry 4 money.

EDIT: Oh, and I picked up Skyrim for the PS3 because I played it on PC before the expansions...and before my computer died. Would have platinumed it IF THE FUCKING OBLIVION WALKER TROPHY DIDN'T GLITCH OUT ON ME.

I bought the Legacy of Kain series on computer a little bit ago. So I'm obviously playing the 3DS Fire Emblem. Soul Reaver is impossible on the computer.

I'm halfway through Valiant Hearts: The Great War [http://store.steampowered.com/app/260230/?snr=1_7_15__13] and holy crap it's good. It's just my type of adventure game: simple puzzles and a focus on good storytelling, atmosphere, and the world around you. It's right up there with my favourite adventure games like Syberia and The Longest Journey games.

Mostly Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel at home and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call when on the go.

Might get Beyond Earth Soon.

Shadow of Mordor didn't grab me the way I thought it would so I've dropped it for now.

Legend of Grimrock 2.

Everything the original was, with extra besides.

The shift to an outdoor setting is a welcome divergence from the original setting and the freedom to choose your own path makes for a better experience.
Currently wishing I decided to play with the map option on as while in the first I only needed to make my own map on a couple of occasions, adding multiple planes of height to each map zone means individual 'dungeon' levels are significantly more complex and hidden rooms and alcoves are easier to miss.

I'd recommend this game to anyone with fond memories of the old school tile based rpgs.

I've been doing a lot of Smash Bros. 3DS pretty much since it came out. However, I've been wanting to get back to completing all my ongoing runs of Zelda games, so my primary game(s) will probably be changing within the next few days.
