Mine comes and goes depending on what is out. Do you play a lot of smaller, indie games? If you're looking for innovation that is the place to look.

Yeah I'm somewhat of an indie nut, although I have cooled on puzzle platformers et all. I guess when the next Steam sale hits I will wonder why I ever questioned my appetite at all.

Until then I have a few terabytes of movies to work through. :thumbsup:

I watched someone livestream it for a few hours. It is certainly innovative but the novelty seemed to wear off pretty quick. Still, I'll be keeping an eye on the developer(s) in future.

GTAV is pretty addictive, I ended up playing until 3am last night when my original plan was to play until like 11.

Finished Last Of Us. Took me a while to get into it. Found it pretty boring for the first few hours but I came around.

We must have been playing together or something. That's exactly what I did. The online is pretty amazing once you unlock things and have variety.

A triumph in game design and atmosphere. It really stays with you long after completion.

I cancelled my pre-order mostly due to still being immersed in GTA V. I adored Heavy Rain so I'd still like to give Beyond a go.

Nothing wrong with that. Did you get that HD remake pack including both?

Sure did. I think my expectation were just set too high with Shadows. I still liked it but Ico really resonated with me.
