Just for giggles I hooked up my old Atari 2600 and got into a Q-bert, Dig Dug and River Raid marathon. Good times!

Currently playing "Where in the World is LeBron James?".
It has no ending, and nobody ever wins.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

Sounds like the game "Will the Cleveland Browns ever be relevant?"

The Last of Us comes out on PS4 today. I will be picking it up on my lunch break and getting into it tonight after work. I loved it on the PS3, but didn't get to finish it before getting rid of my PS3. Phenomenal game.

Agreed. That game was phenomenal. Loved it.
Today I'm gonna look for another game to pick up and I'll keep working on New Super Mario Bros. U or Donkey Kong. I think I might grab the Zelda: Skyward Sword game. That's one of the Wii games I always wanted to play

I've been hammering away at starcraft 2 lately with a tiny bit of terraria tossed in. My friends and I are anxiously awaiting Smash Bros for Wii U....and I occasionally can cajole them into getting stomped in the gamecube version

If you have the Wii U and like old school nes platformers, check out Shovel Knight, its a downloadable game, i think like $15. Its fantastic, one of the best games of the year. It has elements of mega-man, ducktales, castlevania, a little zelda 2, its a lot of fun.

Honestly, not that big of a fan of the NES Old School Style Platformers. I bought New Super Mario Bros. U for my girlfriend. I'm just trying to get her better at the controller so that she can enjoy videogames more. She gets frustrated cause I'm so much better than her. Donkey Kong was more of a mistake to buy. What I like about both games though, is like Mario Kart 8, I can grab it, play 20 minutes, and then turn it off.
Donkey Kong I find to be eh, but Super Mario Bros. U is a very well polished game. Not necessarily my style (my favorite games are like Mass Effect, Fallout, Uncharted, Last Of Us, Skyrim), but very well done. That's generally the way Nintendo games go though. I'm sure I'll eventually beat both Mario Bros U and Donkey Kong, but I don't really see myself playing anymore of that style.
Games like Dragon Age and Destiny are coming out. Witcher 3. Even the Nintendo ones like Zelda U. And so on. Fitting in more 2D Platformers will be far far far on the back burner. Kind of like Indie games, I just never had the time to get into them
You can't do that with a game like Skyrim or Far Cry 3 or whatever. Those I feel like you have to put in like an hour at a time at least.
Today I'm gonna go grab Zelda Skyward Sword over at gamestop and see how that goes.

Yeah my girlfriend and I love that game. But it seems kinda short. I shoulda grabbed that at Gamestop today and I could have returned it at the end of the week. We'll beat it in another week. I've been keeping track of its price on Ebay and i'm waiting to jump on it when it gets down to 25-30$

RISK finally became available on Xbox LIVE last night, so I happily paid the $15 and squeezed one match in. That will probably become my most heavily played game again like it did on the Xbox 360. It's made by Ubisoft this time and done well. I just wish they allowed for the classic game board instead of the futuristic Battleship kind of display. Oh well, it's still extremely fun.

So after beating Lords of the Fallen, which was a big PITA, but it was challenging and fun, I picked up the new Assassins Creed for PS4.
Thus far of all games I have played on this console, this game has got by far the best graphics. It's pretty amazing IMO

Have you played the new Call of Duty? I have both CoD and Assassin's Creed and CoD's graphics are ridiculous. Assassin's Creed's characters still look like they're made of plastic while I sometimes have difficulty distinguishing the difference between a video game and a movie with Call of Duty.

No CoD, cannot stand first-person games but if the graphics are better, then I'm going to ask a buddy of mine who plays all the CoD's to demo it for me.
Best part is, I don't think any game released yet is truly pushing the limits of the PS4 and etc.

Yeah, have him show you CoD, it's crazy. This is the first Call of Duty I've bought in about 3 years because I'm not one of those guys who has to get its annual release, so I'm happy with the differences between this one and the last one I bought.
You're right, none of these game developers are creating games with graphics even close to what the consoles are capable of yet. That probably won't start until the PS3 and Xbox 360 start dying. I'm guessing by this time next year, graphics will blow us away on a consistent basis.

I don't see that much of a difference on COD between last gen and this gen. I have both versions and play both (have friends on both gens and the ps3 version came free with the ps4 purchase)
The opening sequence is amazing, but it's the same on ps3, its just a movie though basically, not actual gameplay graphics. The actual gameplay isn't that much different.
Yes, the PS4 is definitely better, more clear and crisp, but i don't see a huge difference, not like some other games on this gen.

I wasn't sure how the PS3 looked, but that opening sequence definitely looks amazing. I think the single player campaign looks awesome on the Xbox One, very crisp. I would have suggested Ryse, but that's only on Xbox One. So far, that might be the best looking game on consoles. I only have a few games on PS4, so I can't suggest many games for that console in terms of graphical power.
-The Last of Us
-Moto GP14
-Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
-Injustice
-The pool game (can't remember the title)
That's my PS4 library. The Last of Us is by far the best of the group, but the graphics aren't superb since it's basically a slightly modified port of the PS3 version. The replays on Moto GP14 do look great if you want to sit and watch replays of your races.

I'm thinking a couple really really good seasons and a bold move to the SEC. I've been trying to get Wyoming invited (NCAA 11) to the Big 12 for 2 seasons now.. I can only destroy Iowa State and Baylor so many times before I get bored.. I kind of miss NCAA 14.. Mostly the ability to start as an Assistant Coach..
Am I the only one that pronounces hyperbole "Hyper-bowl" instead of "hy-per-bo-le"?

Yeah in 13 you can move the teams yourself. I had to do a serious overhaul because of all the changes in football. It doesn't work perfectly either because the WAC is still a conference in the game, and you can't wipe it out. You have to keep a minimum of 4 teams. It's basically the independents.

Right.. That's why I got 11 (Plus it was $5)
I missed the idea of being INVITED to a conference.. as opposed to just "Well I guess I'll move to the Big 12 now.."
But It sucks cause neither the B10 or Pac 10 have Conference title games..
I wish they had made it an option in the newer ones..

Still playing Assassin's Creed. I've got really bored with it. There isn't much in this game. I liked the other one where you could hunt and etc. There are a lot of missions to play but most are similar. I do like the murder mystery missions which is new.
I think that they're releasing too many games on this series which is burning it out fast.

I don't care to gather teammates, train them, collect money, and upgrade cities and buildings. I just want to kill digital targets.

Not really much of that in the new one. But still, I don't think I'll be pre-ordering the ne t AC game which knowing them, is going to be released in another month or two.
They should really take the time to renovate the game series and come out with one awesome game instead of a bunch of so so games. The Pirate AC game wasn't "spectacular" either.

Just bought GTAV for the PS3. I rented it right after the release and played it through a weekend. I really liked it. I waited until the price dropped to $40 on Amazon.
I'll still play COD BLOPS2 3-4 times a week. I want to get to the Prestige Master level before I quit (which I think is level 10, I'm almost level 8). I only play online team deathmatch. I spent 10 mins playing the campaign mode. Yuck.
After that, who knows.....maybe I'll wait for EA's World Cup '14 (assuming they'll be doing one). I REALLY liked World Cup 2010. Funny, I posted this back on Dec 2013.....and I'm STILL playing COD BLOPS2. I might throw in Uncharted and play for a while, but I'm still shooting away with Blops2. I rented COD:Ghosts and really disliked it. The newest COD was ok, though I didn't like the jetpacks. I might start thinking about a PS4 or XBOX:One, but that is till a decision many months away.

NCAA 14. Got it for $7.49 downloaded..
I'm currently Akrons OC.
My QB is 1st in the nation in passing.
I am 8-1.
Very realistic.

Up that difficulty. I'm an excellent NCAA player and struggle to beat the likes of Toledo at times. Set it to Heisman difficulty, turn your sliders down, and turn the CPU sliders up. It's so much more fun that way instead of never facing a challenge.

Punch.... if you like shooters, have you tried the Crysis series? Good fun...longish solo campaign and enough tweaks to add some different elements to gameplay.
I've been replaying the Mass Effect series. Just restarted the third one which I actually havent finished yet.

Nice, that's where I got mine from too and used as a base difficulty. I have altered them a bit, though, to make the game more challenging. If you're 8-1 with Akron with the #1 QB in the country, though, I think it's pretty obvious you should make it more difficult for yourself.
