I decided to reinstall all the Tomb Raider games because I needed something to fill my evening. I forgot how slow they all were. No sprint button so you just slowly jog everywhere.

Did you run away from the butler and then lock him in the fridge?

Meh.

Of all the new timezones and areas they could have picked that is probably the lamest, when will they do Victorian London

Assassin's Creed is very quickly become a very stale franchise.

Going the way of Guitar Hero.

I've not played ACIII since before xmas. It's a very impressive game technically, and I enjoy playing it, but it's still a bit meh. I was hoping they'd do a Japanese ninja type game. Doing one that is rumoured to be Conor's grandfather just seems a bit lazy.

Bioshock Infinite Premium for £45 or Limited Edition for £90? Only difference is a 10 inch model of Handyman which looks pretty cool. £45 though. Idk.

Premium?

I downloaded Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 last night for a bit of retro fun. The game still holds up and works well. Loved that game back in the day.

Brief appraisal of games I need to finish:

XCOM - In progress. Really enjoying it though so this won't be too hard.
Asura's Wrath - Easiest game to complete and most visually pleasing game I think I've ever played.
Far Cry 3 - No urge whatsoever
Dishonored - No urge.
Walking Dead - Desperate to properly sit down and do this.
Binary Domain - Slowly working my way through this.
Dead Space - I liked the first two levels but I just can't be arsed.
Lego Star Wars TCS - I don't know why I own this shit.
Left 4 Dead 2 - Need friends.
Sleeping Dogs - About 3/4 of the way done. Decent game.
F1 2012 - Can't even be arsed to do one race.
Tales of Vesperia - I've done 10 hours and it feels like there are 70 more to go.
Fez - Have to get all 206%. Never going to happen.
Lost Odyssey - Need to do disc 4, four years after I bought the game.
Condemned - Need to just get the motherfucker done.
Bully - Randomly own the scholarship edition, should probably finish it just so that I can get it off my mind.
Beyond Good and Evil - Keep forgetting about this.
Tomb Raider Anniversary - Pffft

That's on Xbox. On PC I have a slightly different type of list:

Journey Down - Actually play it.
Syberia - Try and get into it, it's very dull though.
Silent Hunter IV - Have one decent campaign
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Give it more than an hour
Sim City 4 - Build a decent city
Broken Sword 2 - Start and finish the game so I can understand what happens between 1 and 3.
LBA 1 + 2 - Replay so I can call my purchase worthwhile.
Anachronox - Bought it, no idea why. Might as well try it.
Gemini Rue - Get it done, decent adventure.
Neverwinter Nights - Try and play it.
B-17 Flying Fortress - Learn how to turn the engines on.

I did really well yesterday and got stuck into XCOM, which is rally engaging and dynamic. If I can get that done I think I'll play Dishonored afterwards and just crank that out. The PC games are more games that are just here if I'm bored, but I need to close off some of the story based games on the Xbox before I get anything else.

Started playing F1 2012 again since the season's started. It reminded me how frustrating that game can be, especially silly penalties that I still get online.

I only play F1 2012, on Co-Op season, with a friend. The amount of pure dicks online, is ridiculous.

Though Ive just bought Tomb Raider and, will be getting Tiger Woods Historic Edition, on Friday. Can't wait

I don't understand the attraction of a lot of games. Especially first-person shooters. Medal of Honor: Warfighter must be one of the worst games ever made.

From what ive seen Bioshock Infinite looks decent, do you have to play the others to understand it?

No, it's a completely different story. Excellent game.

I have it but I don't feel like I've had enough spare time to give it a good bash and doit justice. From what I've heard, there's a certain point in the game where after that, you won't be able to put it down until the end.

I'm too lazy to play games so I watch the gameplay commentaries.

I'm a cheapskate but oh well. It's quite noticeable how some YouTube channels slant their biases in either direction though.
