I was off last week and got bids on my basement remodel so now I have to decide who to use. I'll post some pictures later in the week on what I have planned. I spent most of the time working on that but did get a little gaming in and for some reason I was attracted to older titles instead of the hot new stuff.
Dark Souls
It's probably one of my top 3 games ever and I just now beat the main campaign. I bought it originally on the 360 when it was released and played for around 50 hours and got to a tough spot and quit. I then bought the PC version when it came out a year later and was addicted again for about 50 hours and got to where I was stuck on the 360 version. I took a month break and finally got past that area and added another 10 hours, that was back in September. I got the urge again last week and put in another 15 hours and beat the main game, I still have some DLC to beat but just finishing the main game is an accomplishment.
The game is really awesome and if you've never played it I think it's a game that every gamer should experience. The game is hard but fair, when you die it's because of something you did, not the game. The combat is probably the best in any game especially when using the sword and shield, you have to play under control and as soon as you extend yourself or relax the game will punish you. The sequel comes out in March and I can't wait.
Fallout: New Vegas
I think I've started this game about 4 or 5 times now, I initially played around 20 hours but then got sidetracked again. I've put a few graphic mods on and the game looks fantastic, since I've never beaten the game I didn't put on any major additions. The game has been crashing on me lately so I need to figure out what that is but I'm enjoying the game.
Skyrim
Not much to say but I put on a couple of mods and I'm the Dragonborn.
Metal Gear Revengance
I've played the opening hour twice and will have to play it a third time because the game isn't saving my progress even though it says that it is. The game has a ton of style and the combat is fun I just need it to work correctly.

Spluenky, Batman Origins and Stuff
Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I've been battling the flu and think I've finally got it defeated. Haven't been playing too many games and haven't touched the new consoles in a couple of weeks, PC still remains supreme.
Spluenky
Been addicted for quite awhile and playing on PC and the Vita. The game is a blast even though I've died a couple of hundred times and haven't even gotten to the 3rd level. It's an rogue action platformer that is has randomized dungeons full of creatures and traps to kill you. That's really all you need to know half the fun is experiencing the game and finding out stuff on your own.
Batman: Arkham Origins
Trying to finish this game up and I'm about 40% through after about 20 hours of play. I'm really enjoying the story of the game and the cutscenes are awesome. The new Joker is really good and evil. The game still has the best melee combat of any game and exploring the city is just fun. It may not be too different from Arkham city but it really didn't need to be, playing as Batman is great.
