...and catching up on Xcom - Enemy Unknown lately.
It's been a while since I finished a 2nd playthru on a game so soon after finishing the first playthru, so yeah Xcom Enemy Unknown is great. It might even be my sixth favorite game evaaaaaaarrrrr!
Dead Space 2 and Injustice: Gods Among Us -- Rarely do I enjoy doing two first playthrus of AAA titles at the same time, but the gameplay is different enough that this is the exception. Injustice's story is so, so great, too. I am having a blast watching the cutscenes and then getting in there for a fight.
Dead Space 2 makes some of the mediocre reviews of DS3 harder to believe if only because dismembering necromorphs is so fun. It's like making cereal. How do you screw that up?
I tried to cut back on gaming this year but they are SO fun and SO much cheaper than going out! So, I am also playing some multiplayer/PVP GOTHAM CITY IMPOSTORS. I recently accepted a "promotion" which whiped out my unlocks and is making me start over. I am glad that I did. It encourages me to experiment again, and rack up kills with a simple pistol!
On-deck for next are first playthroughs of Dark Souls, Max Payne 3, and finishing my 2nd playthrough of Mark of the Ninja. That game was a blast but I was playing too many games at the same time so I stopped part of the way thru a second game.
I also have to give props to PLANETSIDE 2. I took a year-long break from that game but when I went back to it at the end of last year it was really fun and made for so much variety in how you play and moment-to-moment action.
Planetside 2 seemed to have built more reward into defending bases so you aren't constantly capping and running anymore. I will review it on Gamespot sooner or later and will be giving it a 10 out of 10.
