Question: What is on your gaming wishlist?
Shadow of Mordor without a shadow of a doubt (see what I did there?). It helps that I already know that my other half has bought me this game for Christmas (thanks honey!) and I absolutely cannot wait to play it. I am a huge Tolkien nerd so this game has got me in a bit of a tizzy! It looks completely awesome.
Recommendation: Something to gift to a friend!
The Halo games have always been a personal favourite so this bundle consisting of: Halo CE Anniversary; Halo 2 Anniversary; Halo 3 & Halo 4; Halo Nightfall (Digital Series); and Halo 5 Guardians Multiplayer Beta is a definite must-have. It is such a great deal it is definitely something I would recommend (nay gift!) to a friend.

If you have been following my blog at all you will know I have been on tenterhooks waiting for Dragon Age: Inquisition to be released. Now that it has all I can say is that it is… glorious!! I am 80+ hours into the game and there are still some areas I have yet to unlock! I am having an absolute ball with this game – it was so worth the wait!!
I will be doing a detailed review when I finish the game (if I ever finish the game that is!) but I can’t resist sharing a couple of screenies!!
My only item on my wishlist is Dragon Age: Inquisition, lol. Currently playing mostly Gw2 and when I have time Skyrim.
It’s an amazing game! so worth waiting for. 🙂
Skyrim is another of my favourites.
I hope I will get it soon.
Fingers crossed for you! 🙂
Hahah I would go CRAZY if I knew someone bought me a game and I couldn’t play it yet! Have fun! 🙂
Lol – usually I would be too but I’m nicely distracted by Inquisition at the moment!!
I played Dragon Age once a long time ago and didn’t care for it much, so I am curious to see how much it has changed over time. A few weeks ago I rented Assassin’s Creed Rogue and now it’s on my must buy soon list as I just want to play it some more! Huge Assassin’s Creed fan and I need an Xbox One like really bad..so wish I had extra spending money..lol. 🙂
I loved DA: Origins but it is a slow game to start – it’s closer in spirit to games like Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights. DA2 is definitely more action-based and DA: Inquisition is a nice blend of the two with open world elements thrown in!!
Assassin’s Creed is awesome – I loved the second game so much!!
I love my new Xbox One – worth every penny!! It does suck not having the money to buy things though.
Dragon Age is on my wishlist, I need that game badly! Shadows of Mordor was a lot of fun, I love Tolkien’s world and enjoyed the liberties the developers took with the story. Plus the rivalry system is pretty cool! I definitely want the Master Chef Collection too, but I totally forgot to put it on my list.
It’s really amazing – I am having so much fun with it. 🙂
Glad to hear Shadow of Mordor is a blast – I do love me some Middle-Earth!!
It’s like every one is playing Dragon Age Inquisition right now! Hope you are loving it!
It’s awesome but it is taking me forever to play through it (I am too much of a completionist lol). 🙂
I have already played Shadow of Mordor… good game. Dragon Age is the next game I am playing. I have Halo the Master Chief collection and it’s good but man I am annoying with the matchmaking. What a nightmare! Here is mine post for this month: Read Play Blog
Shadow of Mordor is next on my list to play (either that or Telltale’s Game of Thrones).
Hope you enjoy Dragon Age!! 🙂
It’s the new year and I *still* have not played Dragon Age. I’m waiting to upgrade my current laptop so I can actually play games without it freezing up. The game looks great, and I have heard many MANY good things! o:
It is really awesome! I only just finished it (been playing since November lol). I would highly recommend it – you will no be disappointed!! 🙂
