Splurge – Shadow of Mordor

Posted on 07/01/2015 Written by gospvg

Splurge YTD £50

I've been keeping an eye out for this game over the festive period to drop to £25 & purchased this morning.

It's been given game of the year award by quite a few gaming sites & I'm looking forward to experiencing the 'Nemesis' system.

I've gone over my limit of five PS4 games now with already Infamous Second Son, MGSV Ground Zero, Metro Redux, AC Unity, Dragon Age Inquisition sat on the shelf.

I don't think there is any other retail PS4 game that I'm tempted to purchase (famous last words) until Batman Arkham Knight so hopefully the above will keep me gaming for the next six months & MGSV Ground Zero is really only an hour long demo so that will bring me back down to my limit of five. I'm not really counting Destiny or Fifa 14 which seem to have taken up residence on the gaming shelf.

New Game – Fluxx

Posted on 06/01/2015 Written by gospvg

Gaming on the mobile is only really now for multiplayer games like Lost Cities, Carcassonne etc. Over xmas I enjoyed learning to play Fluxx with Carl & Darryl.

It is another board game conversion which to be honest wikipedia can explain better than I could. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxx

It is only 69p on the app store but I must have purchased it some point in the past before because it was ready for me to download. A good few games later I figured out how to play & I think I have the hang of it now.

Send me an invite if you fancy a game on any of the iOS multiplayer games I own.

So which day should we have a UGVM meet?

I'm would go for Thursday or Friday (24th/25th) to avoid the mad rush over the weekend but happy to go with a weekend day if it's easier.

New Game – Peggle 2

Posted on 05/01/2015 Written by gospvg

In a recent PSN sale I purchased two sequels in Peggle 2 & Geometry Wars 3. I've not yet spent any meaningful time with Geometry Wars 3 but I have been playing Peggle 2 quite a bit.

Each master has 10 stages & a trial mode where you have to complete various puzzles with a ball limit. Only five masters is a bit disappointed the first game had more but the trials are an interesting mode.

The ending music is different for each master which is a shame they should have the classic 'Ode to Joy'

Still for less than £4 it's been fun so far

Splurge – Dragon Age Inquisition

Posted on 05/01/2015 Written by gospvg

Splurge Total YTD £25

I lost track of my Splurge last year, so a few days into the new year & I've spent £25 on Dragon Age Inquisition for the PS4.

Not sure when I will get round to playing it with Infamous SS, Metro Redux, AC Unity & MGS Ground Zeroes still to enjoy but I'm sure Abbas will enjoy it for now.
