Still need to get my hands on Balders Gate 3, huge D&D nerd but yet to get round it it.
Ended up picking C&C on steam sale, gotta love the 90s RTS.
Have started God Of War (thank you PS gamepass) also.
The better half has been sucked in by House Flipper on the Switch. |

I'm a year into my first Minecraft world now. I spend 6 months building Buckingham Palace, to scale and in as much detail as possible. Then started on a full Greek-style seaside town, complete with cathedral, cinema, petrol station and football stadium |

I did treat myself to a new Series X last year, but sold it after a month. It was an impulse purchase and frankly, there aren't any new games good enough to interest me anymore.
So I've stuck with the old One X and replay the same stuff I always do. A modded Fallout 4, mostly. |

Everyone goes on about Red Alert 2 (which is good, no doubt), but I've always had a soft spot for Tiberian Sun. 😄 |

I'm sticking to my PS4 and backlog. Have my old Switch which gets occasional use and really should pick up Tears of the Kingdom for it. Unfortunately Nintendo have a pretty solid ban on price drops so while I picked up RDR2 (for PS4) for a song and will try that soon nothing on the Switch ever really drops in price. |

My Christmas present to myself this year was an Xbox Series X. Been playing the Indiana Jones game and planning on doing the Mass Effect trilogy with the one Commander Shepherd.
Only ever played parts 2 and 3 |

Funnily enough I only played 1 when it came out. I bought 2 & 3 as a bundle but my 360 red ring of deathed so never got to play them.
Love the remasterd versions as they look as good as my nostalgia remembers, only competed 2 so far, am getting all my Shepherds (4, a pure adept Paragon, pure engineer (Paragon and looks similar to one Miles Edward O'Brian) , pure soldier and infiltrator (renegades). With specific aims who will do what throguht the series and who is romancing Tali |

I was a soldier Paragon in my first play through but since I had never played through the games several choices were made for me (Wrex is dead, Ashley got saved etc)
Second playthrough was a renegade Adept.
Might start off as an Infiltrator and see how I go from there. |

Renegade infiltrator was my first build, some very good high powered sniper builds possible. You only get about 2 shots before overheating but they work |

I have at least two careers on football manager at any time, Helldivers when all the team are online, rocket league when they're not all on, and command and conquer when I just need to relax a bit. |

I tend to keep to one game at a time until I get frustrated with it and need a break so I'll start playing something else for a while then come back to it. |

I dip between games depending on what I’m in the mood for - but it means I’m terrible for finishing them!

"So what gaming systems or games did people get this year if any?
"
Well I bought a "The Spectrum" at Christmas just to get some nostalgic eighties kicks (manic miner is the Don)
And snagged a Nintendo Wii from a charity shop a couple of weeks ago and loving the shooting games using the wii zapper. At the minute Ghost Squad and Resident Evil are top of the list.

If you like the original films there's a couple of nods to them through it. I don't get to play as often as I like but it's fun when I get a bit of spare time |

We bought 3 new games a couple of weeks back... Split Fiction, Assassin's Creed: Mirage and Atomfall.
We love gaming together so Split Fiction was a joke brainer, especially after we both enjoyed It Takes Two (same studio as Split Fiction)
The other 2 games are taking a bit more getting into. AC Mirage is a bit of a slow burner so far

I'm just waiting on the price to drop, the game overall looks amazing and it's been a few years since I've played a decent turn-based RPG. |

It's great! 😃
What are you playing it on? If you don't mind me asking"
My laptop...
It's got a 1070 and an i7, nothing super special.
Game is a touch jittery when in the open world (around 40fps)
Smooth 60fps when in caves, buildings, smaller locations.
Medium graphics settings and tweaked parameters to taste.

I have a pc in our home for elder scrolls, age of empires and total war.
We are looking after my parents house for a few weeks and I am playing Minecraft on my old PS3.
When I start off I fence off the village, farm animals and wheat and then turn the village into a place where the villagers can thrive safely....
Then I mine and explore untill I can get ender eyes and start the main quest. |
