    YAY finally got me a Wii-U. Super Mario Bros U, wow. Soooooooo pretty. Against knowing better I also bought Zombie-U, and it's really hard and it's SCARY. It also looks and sounds really good. Not something that impress someone with a good pc, but it has really nice effects.

    Having a second screen is awesome, but it also sounds great. Absolutily not regretting getting this.

    lololol Zombie-U is awesome. Really scary and thick with atmosphere, you know you are going to die in a desperate situation. Than you wake up as a different character and your former you is a zombie with the loot he/ she managed to find. It's pretty damn brilliant.

    Edit, been playing all night, I don't understand the bad reviews, may e they just don't understand what this game is about because it has a first-person perspective, it's survival-horror game not an fps. So yes you have hardly any ammo, movement is a bit clumsy, and you die a lot. Really tense stuff. Also really goodlooking, I love the greenish filter, really makes London look diseased. I am pretty sure the makers took a few lessons from Demon/Dark Souls on how to build awesome worlds. Demon Souls has this blue filter that makes the place feel very sad, Dark Souls a yellow one that makes sure you know the place hates you, the green in Zombi-U screams 'infested'. Really good game.

    Tried the Torchlight demo. This is a consensus hit?!

    It's pretty much identical to the FATE games that I played 5-7 years ago in every meaningful way, and those were decidedly mediocre.

    L.A. Noire again. Love the setting, and with the Directx11 update it looks MUCH better!

    Good! I don't know how much hours I put into it but it's one of my favourite games of this gen. Apart from some choppy framerates in some area's and some very cheap deaths (hard but fair my you can just hear the roaring laughter of the developers all the way from Japan) it's awesome.

    In between a very busy work schedule, I've been playing Dishonored GOTY, which I picked up on Amazon for around £13.

    I really like how there's so many different approaches with all the powers and equipment you unlock; I just completed my first playthrough as a bloodthirsty so-and-so, blinking around and turning guys into ash on death.

    It's a bargain and I can't believe it took me so long to pick this one up. Heck, I'm not really sure which games I was playing in late 2012, but this really should have been on the list. Definitely recommended to anyone late on the bus like me! :3

    Dishonored is excellent. I always go for non-lethal because it's coolest if they never knew you where there. Dishonored catered the rabid Thief fanboy that I am in spades.

    Currently in love with Resident Evil:Revelations. It's really fun, better than Resident Evil 4 and anything that came afterwards. The graphics are pretty bad at times, especially in cutscenes it looks like a ps2 game, but sometimes it's also pretty goodlooking. The atmosphere is great and I don't care about graphics all that much anyway.
