Strider and Resident Evil HD on Xbox One, Professor Layton and the Unwound Future on DS and Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands on PSP
I was planning on playing Lord of Shadow 2 on PS3, but I think I'll play some more Bayonetta 2

@get2sammyb It's the thread of the day!

Now it's really weird. When I scroll from the bottom to the top of the page I still see blue and black, but when I scroll back down from the top I see gold and white.

Oh yeah, all my co-workers are asking the same question. For me, it's clearly black and blue.

I'm looking forward to playing both titles, hopefully this year, but I'm more excited for Persona 5, even before the trailer.

I plan to play a lot of games, but I know that I'll mostly be playing Persona Q as I'm in the final floors of the last Labyrynth.

@ShogunRok
Completely agree with you. Persona 4 Golden had the perfect balance between fantastic elements and a grounded story, which is why it's one of my favourite games.
The variety is good though. Some grounded games are great and some fantastical one too.

@Mrskinner
Each game have a very self contained story, vut they are on the same universe. That means that sometimes there can be a cameo of some minor characters on the series. Having said that, you can choose whatever you want to play first.
My first Persona games was Persona 4 Golden, and the central theme is the pursuit of Truth. Because of that, the main story revolves around a murder case and your group of high schoolers form an investigation team. The main color of the game is yellow, possibly to convey a sense of joy that is present on the game.
After that, I played Persona 3 Portable on PSP and the central theme of that game is Death. Your group form a squad to exectue shadows. The main color is blue, as it tries to convey sadness.
I loved each game, and they are some of the best JRPGs I played. However, I think Persona 4 is better than 3, but it is a really subjective opinion. Persona 4 has a more varied dungeon design and the social links are a lot more deep than P3, which is a plus for me. Having said that, I think the ending of Persona 3 is more impactful.
If you like JRPGs you can't do wrong playing one game of this series but be warned that they are very long. It took me almost 60 hours to get to the credits of each game and I skipped a LOT of sidequests.

I absolutely loved what I saw. I also expected a darker adventure, but I don't think it will be like Persona 3.
This is my most anticipated game this year and I can't wait for it to come out.

Sooooo excited!!! I need this game now!

I'm playing mostly Persona Q on my 3DS. I do squeeze some sessions of Gunman Clive 2 and I also plan to continue the story on Spec Ops: The Line on PS3.

I liked Remember Me a lot, so I'll get it.

In recent memory, the only open world that I throughly enjoyed was Sunset Overdrive. I never used fast travel with that game because it was really fun getting to one point to the other.
All the other open worlds feel a bit uninteresting after a few hours and I end up not finishing them.

The only thing I want to know about this is when it's gonna release in the west. It is definetely my most anticipated game of 2015.

@Godsire- I agree with you. Even though I had the PSOne, PS2, PS3, PSP and PSVita, there's nothing, right now, that tells me I need a PS4 and the way Sony just gave up on Vita has really let me down, although I know it should focus on it succes with the PS4.

I'm playing Destiny on my PS3 and Susnset Overdrive on my Xbox One. That is, if Persona Q lets me do it...

My favourites games this year for PS3 were: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, The Wolf Among Us, The Walking Dead: Season 2 and Destiny.

Persona 5 all the way, but I'll be getting the PS3 version

I played a little of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition on Xbox One and Bayonetta 2 on Wii U. Busy weekend before xmas...

I trust Telltale a lot since all the games I played from them I loved, but this I really need to see first. It doesn't sound like a good idea at all.
However, if it's successful, I hope they make a collaboration with Nintendo and give a story mode to Mario

@Tasuki I agree with you.
I was lucky enough to find it very cheap recently and immediately bought it. It's definetely the best version out there.

@get2sammyb
Yeah, it was fantastic, both London and Rome. The cities are completely different, but that made the trip really great. Now, I have no idea when I can do it again, but I'm really glad I did go there.

@get2sammyb
London and Rome. It was very quick: only four days in each town, but I loved every second of it and I can't wait to get back there and visit even more places.

I just got a Xbox One on a great Black Friday deal, so I'll be playing mostly that.
Sunset Overdrive, Middle Earth and Tomb Raider are the titles that I played the most so far and I'm really enjoying playing Tomb Raider on a new-gen machine.
Other than that, my quest on Pokemon Omega Ruby is going strong and I'm on almost getting my 8th badge since I just caught Kyogre.
There's also always some time for Smash on Wii U.
My PS3 and PS Vita are probalby not get played at all this weekend, but I was enjoying Destiny a lot.
This past month has been crazy, since I finally went to Europe, which I was really looking forward to, and then there was my sister's weeding.

@Savino I agree with you. The Wii U is a much better choice this holyday. Heck, for me even the Xbox One is a better choice due to more interesting and exclusive games, in my opinion.

@sinalefa - Completely agree with you. When I decide to buy a PS4 it will probably be cheaper and some games that are availabe right now but don't interest me that much will be much cheaper.

@eLarkos @Jazzer94
I usually play 1x1 For Glory With Anyone and it's always great.
However, when I play Smash against 4 people it's worse. I played one match that was great and the next was nearly unplayable.
I'll probably stick with 1x1 when I play online.

Bayonetta 2 only arrives for me on monday, so I'll probably play a lot of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, which I just got for my PS3.
And I'll probably try to squeeze a little bit of Smash Bros, Theathrhythm and Animal Crossing, but this weekend is all about the story mode of Persona 4 Ultimax.

I enjoyed both seasons to no end, but I think season 2 is better. I can't exactly point my finger on what makes it better, but I guess the relationship with Clementine in Season 1 made me really care about her on Season 2, so every choice felt like it had more weight.
I also loved the multiple endings of Season 2, but I have no idea what Season 3 will be about because of that.

The weekend I usually play more console games, but my 3DS didn't let me do it this weekend as I only played Smash Bros, Theathrhythm: Curtain Call and Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Professor Layton Vs Ace Attorney as I'm reaching the end of the game and the story is really good.
Also Hyrule Warriors so my brain don't get to work too much in a surprisingly good action game;

This weekend will be Nintendo only, I'm afraid, as I'm loving Professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright and Theathrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call to no end.
If I can get away from any of these games (highly unlikely), I'l continue Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 as I think it is a better game than I was expecting.

I didn't buy a PS4, so I have no problem using a PS3. My consoles are used solely for gaming, so I like video-games with a good library. I'm on the camp that see no reason to upgrade to a PS4 because it doesn't have any exclusives that I REALLY want. Infamous looks good and Resogun looks fun, but not enough for me to dump $400 on a new machine. I have absolutely no problems playing inferior versions of games, so since most games on PS4 are cross-gen, I have no reason to upgrade. I could play a prettier version of Destiny on PS4, but I would have to pay to play online...
And I don't think that the overall user experience improvements make the PS4 a worthy upgrade since the library of games on PS3 is superior and I still have a bit of backlog...

@Jazzer94
I do hope it too. I also hope that it is still coming to Vita. I don't care if it gets a PS4 port, but I think it should come to Vita as well.

I'll be playing Professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney that I just got on my 3DS.
Besides that, I'll probably play some Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2, since I liked the first one and am very curious about the second, despite the reviews it got.
Other than that, there's always some time to play Mario Kart 8...

@Cowboysfan-22
Great choice! Shin Megami Tensei IV is one of the best RPGs on the 3DS. I finished it earlier this year and I thought it was an awesome, although a bit dark, story.

Vita - Final Fantasy X HD. Just a few more bosses and I'll beat the game.
3DS - Azure Striker Gunvol. Got it a few days ago and I'm having a blast.
WiiU - Mario Kart 8. I'm finally doing good online and even managed to get a 2nd place.

I just hope they don't cancel Gravity Rush 2 or make it a PS4 exclusive. I mean, I'm fine if they bring it to PS4, but I don't want it to be canceled for Vita

Final Fantasy X HD on my Vita, Mario Kart 8 on my Wii U and, if I have the time, Saints Row IV on PS3.

The Walking Dead: Season 2, Episode 5 — No Going Back, for me. Great ending to a pretty good season.

@gbanas92
SPOILERS

My gut reaction was the gun ending, which I picked first.
I did replay some secions earlier, like the ending of episode 3 and the ending of episode 4 but I did stick with my first choice when the newer ones came out.
When Season 3 comes out I'm seriously thinking about keep my 2 save files and play them both to see the differences as I still can't decide who I want to live...
The knife then gun ending is similar if you got the gun ending and didn't forgive that other character. Clem ends up alone with the baby and see a bunch of walkers but she does what se knows to survive. I didn't do it, but I think it is really depressing as she becomes just what Carver said she would: only a survivalist and (almost) all alone.
I'm really looking forward to Season 3, whenever that comes out, as The Walking Dead was the first game in a long time that I just had to play immediately as each new episode came out.

@gbanas92
Minor SPOILERS for everyone else.
I also went with gun and then I saw knife. I'm thinking about going with knife, because I really liked the redemption of that particular character. Gun was really good too, and I guess I felt harder that decision, but in the end I didn't like those new characters that appeared.
I didn't do gun then knife as I didn't want Clementime to be all alone, but I was very curious with that ending.
I really have no idea what Telltale will do on Season 3 and I REALLY want to continue playing as Clementine, but I think it'll be very hard...

@get2sammyb
I would REALLY like to know what people decided in the end, but since the episode just came out, I think not many people played it...

I loved the episode! It's hard to say anything without spoiling it but that final decision was very hard to make. After I got the first ending I imediately replayed that final section to see other endings and I don't know which I'll stick with when Season 3 comes out.
About the dream sequence I read that many people disliked it but I loved it! It was great to see that character again and it was a good callback to season 1.

I'll be playing the fifth chapter of the second season of The Walking Dead: No Going Back. I'm really looking forward to the end of this season and I'm already dreading to think that not everyone will survive and that I'll have to wait a lot for the third season...

@MadchesterManc
I think I'll get it just because I haven't got anything on my Vita for a long time. I'm still playing Final Fantasy X HD, which was the last game I got for it at retail.

I, for one, am a lot more inclined to get a X1 than a PS4 now. I love Tomb Raider and, IMHO, I think it's better than Uncharted. If X1 was backwards compatible, I'd probably have one now as I didn't have a X360.

@get2sammyb
I love these articles and I definetely would like it to be weekly. I miss these on Nintendo Life and it's great to see what others are playing. I also think that Season 2 of The Walking Dead is great too Sammy, and I think it has a much better pace than season 1 and, for me, it's a lot more tense.
On topic: this weekend I finished Lego City Undercover, played Mario Kart 8 with a friend if mine and finished another dungeon on The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. On the Sony front, I only played a bit of Final Fantasy X HD on my Vita.

@XFsWorld
Even that wouldn't make me feel very special about Vita as there's always a good discount on Vita titles. I want new exclusive games for it.

Well, for me the best game of July was The Wolf Among Us. Too bad it's not an option to vote...
