Let the gaming madness begin! and what better way with Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare. Seriously addictive again to say it's online only and does not have many maps to play on. Never thought I would see the day that I could not put down a multiplayer game. Look for a fun shooter that does not take the genre serious then check it out, it's a blast and you will want to spend unlocking all the customisation features for your characters. Not tried out the co-op mode "Garden Ops" yet but hopefully soon, hoping that will be just has good has "Gardens and Graveyards".
Anyway it's March finally and we kicking off the gamers Christmas where we will see a ton of new releases every week for the month. Started off with Thief and Plants vs Zombies for me last week, I did not pick up Thief since I'm just not sure on the game. Something is putting me off it and plus I really can see it going into deal of the week in a week or two so I'm waiting for now. Back to the topic of new releases, next week sees South Park Stick of Truth finally releasing, it's been a long...very long..so long...wait to get this game but it's going to be worth. You only got to see the trailers and the play through of the first chapter that's gone live to see how great it is.
Does not end though, oh no for me there is a game week for the next month and my next one will be of course Titan Fall. Really annoyed because I did get a beta invite and was sick for the entire event (yes to sick to play games, dang man flu!). But I know this will be a worth while purchase since everyone I know is raving on about it and saying how good it is.
Week after that sees inFamous Second Son coming out and this game is still a maybe for me. It does look amazing but I really would like to see a little more gameplay before I decide if it's a day one purchase. Finally ending the month off is Phoenix Wright x Professor Layton for the 3DS, a game I've been praying to release in the UK for a very long time. Big fan of both so having them combine into one great story has got me bouncing off the wall with excitement.
There is one more game to add to this list and that's the Diablo 3 expansion, I know it's near the end of March but I cannot remember the date. Still unsure if I want to pick it up yet since I do want to get the PS4 version when that hits and it's meant to have the expansion included with the main game. Tough choice since the PC version is doing a great collectors edition and I have pretty much all the Blizzard games in collectors format for the PC. Will get back to you once I've decided on what I will do.
So what about you readers? do you have a long list of games to pick up this month? Give me a shout and on that note I'm off to go kill some Zombies or maybe some Plants.

P.S. Lego Hobbit at the start of April as well, I really hope they don't add any more games since it's going to be very hard to decide what to get first.

Plans for the evening
Morning folks,
Will be rushing off in a second to head to work but I thought it was about time I got a general post up, I was planning to type this up after work but the more time I got later the better. Over the last week I've not really done much gaming, the only thing to report was I finished the last two-three levels of Defence Grid and that was it.
So yesterday I finally sat down and finish chapter four off for Phantasy Star Universe and then finished Episode 3 of Phoenix Wright Trials and Tribulations. Not a bad way to end the day to be honest but anyway I decided I wanted to do a gaming evening tonight. Planning to try and get the fifth chapter completed for Phantasy Star, well depends on how the boss battle turns out. Then I'm going to jump onto World of Warcraft, my timecard ran out a few weeks back and my new one has just been sitting on my desk since. No doubt I've lost a ton of items in my mail box again, really need to be more organised with that. So yeah anyway I want to reboot it up and do a few quests, see what the new patches have brought.
After that going to take it as it goes, thinking either to jump onto Star Wars Old Republic or watch a movie. Not sure at this point but depends on how the first two games go, might get wrapped up into them and lose all my time.
That's my plans for today and for the rest of the week will be pretty much the same with me trying to finish off Phantasy Star. I'm also tempted to try out a new game that I was looking into last night, Planetside 2. SOE new FPS MMO that is free-to-play, watched a few videos last night and I am really tempted. Reminds me a lot of Battlefield in most ways.
Might try and download the client this week, give it a few hours try but not sure yet since I've got plenty to play already. We will see and on that note I better go run since I will be late for work, have a good one folks and I will try to post soon again.

P.S. On a finally note I will leave you with a gameplay video

Summer is here
Morning folks,
Blimey it's hot in the UK right now and I'm not a fan, hay fever has been playing me up rotten although I have now got some tablets that seem to work. So prefer the winter where it's so much easier to get yourself wrapped up to be warm, much harder to get cool.
Anyway enough of me ranting about the good weather and time for an update on the gaming side of my life. Well I'm currently playing quite a few games right now, first up I have the retail disc version of Back to the Future from lovefilm. Currently playing that on the side so I'm slowly working my way towards the platinum trophy, in fact I'm a bit annoyed with Lovefilm right now. It was announced last week they will be dropping games rental soon, then it was announced the other day it stops on August 8th. Talk about a short notice and no reason why, although there is a lot speculation it has to do with the next-generation games. Why can the whole thing I have no idea since the PS3 and Xbox 360 will be still getting games for a long time. Shame though since I rental quite a lot of games through, either to try something I'm not sure on or to play something on a different format.
Side from that bad news I have started Phantasy Star Universe, if you remember in my last post I had three games to choose from. So far I've completed the first three chapters and I'm actually enjoying it, still won't keep it once I'm done but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. The chapters are like anime episodes with opening songs and closing songs, plus previews for the next episode. Gameplay is massively repetitive with you just running through rooms/fields and corridors, kill x amount of bad guys to get a key to open the next area. Then either a mini boss or boss fight at the end, then that's it really.
Also some good news folks I did put a little into The Last of Us yesterday and I've finally got a bit further into the game, think it's about to open up now so hurray for that. I will be trying to put some more time into it over the next few days as well.
Finally I've pretty much back to where I was with Phoenix Wright Trials and Tribulations, in the middle of the third episode. Usually play handheld games on the weekend when I'm out and about but I've not worked on it the last two weeks since I've been busy. Well last Saturday I spent a few hours on it and now I'm onto new story that I don't recognise. Again will be working on this in the future and trying to get it completed so I can work on Apollo Justice.
That's it folks in the ways of my gaming, not much really exciting just slowly making my way through the collection. Oh I did nearly forget to say I finished the story for Bulletstorm on PS3, couple of more trophies for my collection. Did delete it the other day so I've now got some space on my hard drive, well did have since I've downloaded X-COM to play. Really love that game and wanted to play it again, started up the first two missions again so yeah another game to play on the side. Yeah I'm one of those people who play a ton of games at the same time, it's very rare I will just play one unless it's amazing beyond words.
Anyway that's it for my gaming today but I do want to speak about a few things, first up have you seen the list of upcoming games at the end of the year yet?. I checked last night and I think from the end of October to the end of November there is a game every week I want. Last year all over again but this time all the games are triple A in my books and pretty much all coming with collector editions I want. Plus add in the fact there are two next-generation consoles to be released around the same time as well. Dreading it to be honest and not sure where I'm going to get the time to play all this stuff.
Speaking of future games I will be doing the changes to the Upcoming Games and Next-Generation pages on my blog over the next few days. I will post up once everything starts along with some details on what I'm doing with them so keep an eye out for that.
Ok think that is it for me today, I'm going to go enjoy my day so have a good one folks and I will catch up with you soon.

One day to go!
Morning folks,
Cannot believe how behind I am with my blog posts this week, I've had a brilliant week off from work though. Honestly not sure where to begin since there is quite a few posts I wanted to do this week and most of them I wanted done before E3 which starts tomorrow.
So lets begin with what I've been playing this week, well I've had a little time on Warcraft, Star Wars Old Republic and Starcraft but nothing major to report there though. Although I will say that I did start a new character on Star Wars and made a Jedi this time around, I'm actually enjoying it more then my Bounty Hunter. Might actually get into more but we will see, depends if I can put the time into the game.
On the console side I have been working on Lost Planet 2 believe or not, at the start of the week I decided to dig through my pile of games and went with it. It's not a bad game but not great either, the levels are split up into 5-10 minute missions which you get scored on how well you did. Then there are one or two boss missions then it ends the chapter, I enjoy the big boss fights but I am a bit shocked how rubbish the story is so far. Right now though I do want to complete the game because as I said I really enjoy the boss fights, finding the weaknesses and taking it out a step at a time. Even more fun when you using one of the mech suits to take it down with. Can't say I will be stick with it for the full 1,000 gamerscore though since the achievement is insane, talking over a dozen playthroughs for some of the achievements.
I'm also playing Bioshock Infinite finally thanks to Lovefilm, not got that far into it since the disc arrived only a few days ago and I've been busy since then. So far though I'm enjoying the game but I am waiting for it to pick up, going to give it some time later so fingers crossed it will get more interesting later. Other then that I have started Phoenix Wright Trials and Tribulations again since I never finished it, actually I did get to the third episode of the five but then I lost the game so I've had to re buy it a few months back. So far I had only redone the first episode so I'm now working on the second one, think I'm near the end so another session and I should be back where I left off.
Anyway that is it for my gaming news today folks and I will end it here because I want to start writing the other posts for my blog, there are been plenty of more gaming announcements so I want to talk about them and get myself up to date so I'm ready for tomorrow. I will be attempting to live tweet again my thoughts as I watch the conference on my Twitter account then copy and paste onto a blog post after. Hopefully it will go better then the Xbox One conference attempt anyway.

Phoenix Wright 5 Coming to the West
This news made my day the other night when Capcom finally confirmed the newest Phoenix Wright will be coming to North America and Europe. The Ace Attorney series on the DS are brilliant and I would buy a DS just to play them, although I will hang my head in shame since I still need to finish the third one in the series Trials and Tribulations plus the fourth one I never started Apollo Justice. Not to mention the spin off series as well around Miles Edgeworth. So yeah I better dig them out and start playing them to see how the story ends ready for this one, check out the trailer below for the teaser.
So far Capcom have confirmed it will launch some time in Autumn and that it will only be digitally released. Unsure about that since Nintendo in the past sucked when it came to downloads, no transfers and if you console went faulty you had to re buy the games on your new one. I have heard things have changed since then but still left a bitter taste though. But Phoenix Wright is amazing so I will be buying it anyway no matter if it is a digital release.
Seriously cannot wait to play this! I did tell you guys we will be seeing quite a few new games this year. Of course I was not expecting to see this though, this is just the icing on top of the cake for me and in 3D as well! oh man I'm too hyper now.

P.S. What would be amazing if they confirmed the release of the crossover game with Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton for the west, dream come true!
