Avowed (Series X) Still plugging away at this game so far I am 30 hours in and still enjoying it.
Diablo III (Series X) Since it came to Gamepass and I have been itching to play it again I decided to start a Crusader. I just hit level 20.
Madden 25 (Series X) After finishing up my college career I decided to go Pro and transfered my character to Madden where I was picked first round by the Broncos. So far we are 2 and 2 and looking to add to that win record this weekend.
I loved a Short Hike. Played it a few years ago on Series X and its such a chill game. You can easily beat it in a couple of hours and its a great way to get quick achievements.
Avowed (Series X) I am just about to wrap up Dawnshore. I have a few areas to explore and the main quest line to finish.
WWE 2K24 (Series X) Started up a GM Mode against my son. I am currently Eric Bischoff running WCW and he Teddy Long running ECW. We also threw in a couple of computers just to spice things up a bit.
World of Warcraft Classic Anniversary (PC) Still playing this one mostly just been building up my crafting lately.
Avowed (Series X) Really enjoying this game alot, I find it relaxing just exploring and doing the quests. Still doing side quests around Paradis before moving onto the main story. I believe I am level 7 right now. Really enjoying the combat and just learning about the world.
World of Warcraft Anniversary Classic (PC) Going to try and do a few dungeons tonight Wailing Caverns to be precise and maybe Shadowfang Keep OG. Been years since I have done either of them so it's going to be fun to see what I remember.
Sims 2 (PC) Mainly dinking around with this game but then again isn't that what Sims are all about.
I also would like to get back into Indiana Jones if I have time this weekend but we will see if I have time.
I had one but to be honest I mostly used it for remote play for the PS4. Main reason I didn't use it more was that there were no games that interested me and of course the price for those memory cards.
I did get a PSTV a few years ago at a garage sale but again really didn't use it. I think I donated it to Goodwill a few months ago.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (Xbox Series X) Finally wrapped up The Vatican and now I moved on to Giza. I am really enjoying this story alot and just the general gameplay. It really makes me want to explore everywhere.
World of Warcraft Classic (PC) Still messing with this just enjoying the journey on my Tauren Shaman.
Ken Griffey Jr Presents Major League Baseball (Super NT) Got the Baseball itch again so will be playing a few games of my season this weekend currently 85 and 35.
The problem with Sledgehammer is once the founders left the company, they just didn't know what to do anymore. I loved WWII but everything after that was just bad CoD wise.
Black Ops 6 (Series X) Well since it's on Gamepass I figure I try the MP. I am not expecting much since the last few years of CoD have been a garbage. I have also prefered the Black Ops series over the MW series so there's that but I am still not hoping for much.
World of Warcraft (PC) The 20th anniversary is upon us and there is a bunch of stuff to do at the festival. I am working on getting the Judgement armor set so there's that. I also started a new character through the Shadowlands campaign which isn't bad but it just makes me want to play Diablo.
Titanic the Board Game (Tabletop) I recently received this as a birthday gift and will be looking to crack this open with the family tonight.
Its really sad when a the person of a major character in a series passes and they cant remove the character. Although if done right it wont be to big of a problem. Look at Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies for example. They key is getting the right person and just not anyone ol person.
Always sad to see a magazine shut down but with the internet and websites like Pushsquare, NintendoLife, Pure Xbox and dozens of others it just doesn't make sense to pay for a magazine subscription for news that's already a few weeks old.
@get2sammyb I remember getting the demo discs in OPM. At the time I couldn't afford games much, just moving out on my own and having a kid so those demon discs introduced me to alot of PS library at the time. I may still have a few lieing around somewhere.
That's why I hat playing QTE that use X as on of the buttons. I always stop and think which console am I playing again and by the time I figure it out I miss the QTE.
Well that just ruined the game for me. I felt that his death in 7 was just perfect. Bringing him back has just cheapen the series for me. Not what I expected from Tekken.
@get2sammyb Fair enough, if that's their business practice more power to them. I know alot of Sony consumers will be getting it and it makes senses give their loyal consumers something.
My son has the newer version of the PS5 the one where the disc drive can detach and I have watched games he played on it like Horizon and GoW and him as a student said he won't be getting the pro due to the price point.
Didn't they learn this leasin from the PS3??? The only group that they are targeting are hardcore Sony consumers. Casual gamers will not be buying this. Pricing is one reason I have switched from PS to Xbox.
Black Ops 6 Beta (Series X) Since it's on Gamepass I will be trying it out. I have always preferred the Black Ops series over MW.
World of Warcraft (PC) A new expansion is upon us, it's time to start the grind to 80. So far I am enjoying the new expansion, I don't like what they did to crafting mind you but otherwise it's an enjoyable one.
Castlevania; Portrait of Ruin (Switch) So glad this is finally on Switch. One of my favorite Castlevania games. Now I can finally beat it.
It's a movie based of a game franchise, they are rarely ever good. Look at Street Fighter, Doom, Super Mario Bros, Rampage, Warcraft and a dozen others.
Played it for an hour or two when it first came out and that was enough for me. I don't know after Borderlands 2 it's hard for me to get back into the series which is odd because I love Borederlands and Borderlands 2.
It's not surprising about Tiny Tina's though especially since they have a TTRPG version.
XDefiant (Series X) Grinding out more guns and unlocking more parts for them. I am reallying loving this game as it's filled that FPS gameplay that I have been missing since CoD died.
World of Warcraft (PC) Now that I got my Troll Paladin to 70 I am grinding out mounts. Might start a Death Knight here in Pandaria Remix.
Mega Man V (Nintendo Switch) Like alot of us this release took me by surprise. I have been wanting to replay this game and since I don't have my 3DS anymore this was great news having it come to the NSO.
XDefiant (Series X) Really enjoying this game. It captures the feel of an old school CoD really well. It feels so good to have a good FPS game again. With the Double Weapon XP weekend going on I will be grinding out some guns.
World of Warcraft (PC) Still grinding out MoP Remix. I am loving it still and enjoying my Troll Paladin.
Eiyuden Chronicles (Series X) Just got my castle and now I am going on a recruiting hunt.
World of Warcraft (PC) Just wrapping up some achievements and mount hunting while I wait for the new stuff to drop. Might try MoP Remix once that drops as that was one of my favorite expansions.
XDefiant (Series X) The server test is this weekend so I will be popping on for a few sessions. Still really enjoying this game.
Fallout 76 (Series X) I started playing this again (I wonder why) and yes it's a big improvement over launch. I will continue my exploration of the Wasteland some more this weekend.
World of Warcraft (PC) Still exploring Azerioth and hoping to hit level 70 on my Bloodelf Mage by the end of the weekend.
The only reason they are acknowledging New Vegas is because of the TV show. If they didn't include New Vegas at all then the show wouldn't do as well in the ratings.

Re: Warner Bros. Games Closes Multiple Studios, Wonder Woman Cancelled
Does this mean that other studios can use the Nemesis feature if WB isn't going to use it?
Re: Pro Skater Claims to Be in an Upcoming Tony Hawk Remaster That's 'About to Come Out'

Maybe you should take that money that you charged people for a PS5 Pro and use it to get better servers Sony, just a thought.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for February 2025 Announced
High on Life is as hidden gem. I played and beat it on the Series X when it was on Gamepass.
Re: It Looks Like The Sims 1 and 2 Are Returning, But Will These Classics Come to PS5?
I hope they do a deluxe version that includes everything in one package, base game and all DLC.
