    I love online play. Sports/racing games can be really great online as long as you find the right people to play against.

    Now I've yet to pick up the PS4, was waiting on more games to come out. Mainly Baseball and some racing games (driveclub out in October?)

    Picked up WatchDogs today. Played for an hour or so. I think it's pretty good. Very entertaining!

    The only complaints I heard were about frustrations while driving.
    I don't think I'll pick it up but the graphics for ps4 looked fantastic.

    Yeah, driving controls take some "getting used to". The first time I had to chase a dude down in a car I crashed into pretty much everything along the way. Hahahaha!
    I then found a sweet ass car, stole it and while it was fast, it was really hard to control.

    Updated? PS4 due out soon. (few months)

    I'm guessing with a price cut and more internal memory...hopefully a slimmer version as well.

    I have been addicted to Might &Magic : Clash of Heros on the xbox 360. I play it everyday, so simple, but so fun.

    Just got a PS4...kinda pissed that you cant get Outlast for free via the PS+ anymore. Boo.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    It wasn't that good of a game IMO anyways. Kinda creepy, but annoying.

    A few more hours into Watchdogs. Pretty good game. I've got the controls down now, but the driving still annoys me. The driving controls seem like it's either really unresponsive or overly responsive. "Why can't I turn? Oh shit, I just turned too much and crashed into a wall!" :fp:

    Signed up for the Beta of Battlefield:Hardline. Cops vs Robbers. Pretty cool. Tough learning curve for me playing this online never having played before.

    Looks pretty good, shit ton of action.

    Downloaded Hearth Stone: Heros of Warcraft on my ipad last night and enjoyed it. It's free to play and doesn't seem intrusive on forcing you to buy stuff and Blizzard did a real nice job on the presentation. It's a card / fight game which is a genre I haven't spent much time with, but the tuturial made it easy to understand.

    Has anyone sold anything to Gamestop or a place like that recently? I'm looking to upgrade to an Xbox One. I have both PS3 and Xbox 360. Have a bunch of xbox 360 games and 4 controllers as well. Just wondering how much I could get for the systems....doubt I'd get much at all for the games.

    My local Gamestop is offering me 48 cash or 60 dollars store credit for a 40gb PS3, games very from 2cents to 25 dollars, depending.

    The Neverwinter Nights MMO is coming to XB1 as F2P.

    Also EA subscription service coming to XB1 as well. $30 a year, free games, early demos, discounts....a lot of potential here, but could as easily be a disaster.

    I think you are required to spend another $30 in lube if you get the EA subscription. It's mentioned in the fine print.

    Maybe!
    Depends on what their 'free game(s)' end up being yearly.

    I don't remember an EA game I've wanted to play in some time. Well, that's not true. NHL '14 was pretty good.

    Tomodachi for the 3ds is one of the weirdest games I've bought in a long, long time.

    I'm a huge 3ds fan boy by the way. If you have one, send me your friend code!
