Looks like fun, too bad it's an xbox exclusive.

That looks awesome. But I don't use bikes in Mario Kart 8 the way I did in Mario Kart Wii.

The course changes every time you play it, so that is cool.

Is this in the Nov pack or the May one?

When they say November, I hope they mean Saturday.

i'm intrigued by the Nemesis system.
Picked up Shadow of Mordor over the weekend and i've logged quite a bit of time in it. Initially that Nemesis system really screwed me over, I tried to take on too many Uruk captains and they all defeated me and leveled up too fast and i was just getting my ass handed to me over and over again. Started a new game a few hours in and fared much better the second time around. So far i'm really enjoying the game and that Nemesis system keeps things interesting enough that I can see it bringing a lot of replay value. The combat system is pretty good too, it's very fluid and not nearly as "button mashing" as i thought it would be based on the gameplay videos. Much better than Assassins Creed, even the new games. The only real annoyance is how your character interacts with the environment. A lot of times in heavy combat i'd find myself wanting to scale a wall or vault over a boulder only to find myself stuck and taking a pummeling from a bunch of angry uruks....can be very frustrating.

Great game though, i'm having a lot of fun so far.

Good to hear. I'll pick it up on Black Friday if it is on sale.

After having had it for months - and pretty much having given up being able to get into the actual gameplay - I finally managed to play a bit of Rocksmith 2014 last night. Previously I couldn't get past the guitar tuning bit - despite my guitar being perfectly in tune. Tweeked some of the settings in the .ini file - and we're off!

this is good to know, seeing as how I bought the game in a humble bundle sale for cheap and was looking to bust out my old guitar and start playing soon.

Looking forward to Inquisition or whatever the heck its called? Are you boycotting it for only allowing cis-gendered romantic interests?

I think I'm going to get GTA V for the PS4. I never really played online with the PS3 version because the PS4 came out around that same time. Excited to play it with better visuals and first person mode.
