Highlights throughout the year have been the completion of the Mass Effect Trilogy, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Brothers A Tale of Two Sons, Monument Valley & Destiny. I did spend a lot of time with Destiny (200 hours+) but the game could & should have been so much more. Destiny did however get me playing the PS4 again which I had not really touched since completing AC Black Flag last year.
The game of the year for me is another game from my back catalogue on the 360. Deus Ex Human Revolution is a sci-fi RPG, you are Adam Jenson and after an attack are rebuilt into robocop. You then go after your attackers using the skills & upgrades you unlock in the game to complete the various missions. I usually went for a stealth gameplay approach but the boss fights forced you to use a more full on attack style. The remastered edition of the game did rebalance the boss fights but it was a very buggy release with many issues on the 360 inc corrupted saves so I played the original release.
It has been a real disappointed this year that games are being released not fully tested like Drive_Club, AC Unity, The Crew etc. The rush to release a game for the Xmas shopping window was more important than the quality of the game. Hopefully this will be a lesson learnt for the industry & we won't get any more rush releases in 2015.
I failed on a few predictions I set last year the Vita I ended up selling without a single game completed, I really do not play portable consoles that don't fit in my pocket. I've also written off for now my Steam pile of shame. I don't have the time & I have enough to play on the consoles without thinking about gaming on a PC.
Mobile gaming with a few exceptions like Monument Valley & Kiwanuka is now just turn based multiplayer like Carcassonne, Lost Cities, Ticket to Ride etc.
Splurge I lost interest in keeping track of what I was spending, I know that I have sold more than I've purchased this year & more important for me is not buying games to store on a shelf but to play.
Predictions then for 2015.
I will be finished with the 360/PS3 back catalogue leaving the PS4 for gaming only.
I'm not ignoring the WiiU but there is nothing I want to play on the console & it really is just the replacement of the 'family Wii console'. However I have enjoyed the time I've spent playing or should I say losing to the kids in Mario Kart 8.
History tells that I will be weak & purchase the XB1 console at some point maybe if & when it hits the £200 mark.

Mid Week Challenge 311214
Every Wednesday on UGVM someone (usually Zo) will post the MWC (Mid Week Challenge). Here you set yourself weekly challenges to encourage you to play. The following week you report back on how you done on the previous week challenges & set yourself some new challenges to try and complete.
This Week
1. Complete Knack - I think I've only got two chapters to go.
2. Reach Act 3 in Watch_Dogs - not sure how many story missions I need to complete. Keep getting side tracked by gang hideouts & various other icons.
3. Get back to playing Destiny - I've not played for over a week. PSN being down & holidays have messed up my gaming timetable.
Knack – Katrina
It did give me the chance to continue playing Knack with my daughter on local co-op.
The last boss fight proved quite difficult with Katrina in a mech suit & took us a few attempts.
We also managed to collect enough secret chests to unlock a relic detector gadget.
It is a very colourful game & at times a tough challenge even on easy difficulty.
The relic key has been stolen by Vicktor & we have now boarded his airship track him down.
