New Week

Morning gamers,
So I did pick up Destiny in the end and I have to say no regrets with that decision what so ever. I will not say its amazing and game of the century but it is a really good game. Good solid eight out of ten in my books, what is letting it down is the story campaign which is boring. What makes up for it is the graphics and amazing game play with friends, this is where the game shines. Playing with your friends and the time will just fly by and next thing you know you have spent six hours in the game, forgot tea and got some amazing boss fight stories for your troubles.

I also did pick up Minecraft at the same time on both consoles, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 which came out just a few days before Destiny. Love them to bits or though I am putting more time into the Xbox One version since I have a friends on there up for playing so we have a community world built.

So as you can tell I've got plenty to play with right now and let's not forgot I got Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition for the PlayStation 4 sitting next to my TV. I have decided that I need to use the next few weeks to try and clock a game. My next new release is not until October 3rd which of course is Middle Earth Shadows of Mordor. Really looking forward to getting my hands on that game and from the looks of things I will have the whole of October to play it since most of my new releases got pushed back to November.



My plans until this game comes out is to try and finish the story campaign for Diablo, of course also put some time into Destiny and Minecraft. I also have the Lego Movie game for the Xbox 360 on rental so I could do with working on that and clocking it so I can send it back. Think that's a good game plan to start with this week, it's been a long while since I've clocked a game so I better set off and get started.

Have a good one folks and I will catch up with you again in the week

Holiday Fun

Morning folks,
It's been a few days since I got back off my holiday and just settling back down again. I thought since I've got the day off today it would be good to get another blog post up before I started any gaming.

Awesome start to the day with the announcement of Minecraft for the Xbox One coming out this Friday! that woke up me quite quickly when I checked the news this morning in bed. No doubt in my mind that we will see the PlayStation 4 any day now along with the Vita version as well. Will have to dedicate some time this weekend into making some awesome worlds, really cannot wait to get back into it since I've been holding off building anything lately.

I know you can transfer the worlds over from the old consoles but I wanted a fresh slate and start a new. Good news though is any DLC packs bought will be transferable, picked up several packs early on the year when they was on sale so that's a bonus. Also the price is awesome since if you own it already you get a discount. This was posted up earlier on twitter...

"Minecraft: Xbox One Edition is £3.99 / €4.99 if you own the Xbox 360 Edition, and £15.99 / €19.99 if you don't. Out Friday!"

£3.99?! bargain! just hope the same happens with the PlayStation 4 version when they announce the date.

Anyway enough about Minecraft for now since I will no doubt be posting a ton this weekend about it. So let's talk about another upcoming game and thats Destiny which is out next week. I really do not know what to say about this game, it looks good and I did enjoy the Beta. Do I think the hype for it is bang on? no I don't, I really don't see this being the game of the century that everyone claims it is. Don't get me wrong it looks amazing and it probably will be good, but don't think its this ten out of ten.


I have it pre-ordered on the PlayStation 4 just a box standard edition but I'm really not sure if I will get it day one now. Thing is though if I do wait and then when I pick it up later it could be brilliant and I will have a long grind to catch up with my friends. Also to note I have no games other than Minecraft slated for this month and October is already falling a part with delays so I would have plenty of time to play it or to work on some old games.

Will have to think about it over the weekend, probably wise to check out what is coming out over the next few months so I can plan my spending. I know November is jam packed this year with lots of goodies.

Anyway on that note I'm going to shoot since I want to get some time on Diablo, have a good one folks
