    I decided to buy the PS3 version of Minecraft, and have been playing it for quite a while.

    So far, it's enjoyable enough. My only real gripe with it is how small the world map is; about 900X900 blocks (I don't know if it's 900 blocks deep, haven't reached bedrock level; I haven't reached the Nether, but I imagine it's just as small, if not smaller) compared to the colossal-going-on-infinite world of the PC version. I kind of wish there was a Dream Suite-style system where you could visit other world seeds; as it stands, the little island I'm on and its one village is a little too small for my tastes. :p

    Playign Alien: Isolation. It's tough, and the alien keeps surprising me in dumb ways, like leaving a room, only to come right back in as I follow it.

    Decided to start playing through the PS+ stuff on my hard drive. Currently playing through Brothers. Every now and then I become conscious of my attempt to control two characters at one time and my neurons start to fire off randomly and one of the brothers falls off a cliff.

    When I'm done I'm going to play through Lego: Lego (the Movie)

    Also installed Gran Turismo 6 this weekend. I've finished games in less time than it took to download and install the updates.

    I just finished Far Cry 4 and Ubisoft has once again given me the middle finger when it comes to an ending. WTF was that? There was not even an epilogue,
    Pagan tells Ajay that Kyrat is his to rule now, but he is keeping the chopper and leaves with Ajay just staring at the chopper flying away and then
    the credits just start rolling without any true resolution. Also, there wasn't even a trophy for getting 100% completion.

    Played through CoD: Advanced Warfare, CoD: Black Ops, and Homefront in the last couple weeks. Gotta say I was surprised with how much I enjoyed AW and Black Ops. Sadly, Homefront left me underwhelmed with how the story was rushed for the latter half of the game. The ending was not what I was expecting, and I wanted "more" (I suppose "more" being a better/more extensive resolution).

    Now I'm trying to decide if I want to play through Battlefield 3 or CoD: World at War next...This coming from the person who used to strictly play the Assassin's Creed, Bioshock, and Arkham games :lol .

    After the credits, you can explore the island more, and there's an epilogue to
    who you allowed to rule Kyrat
    .

    Still kind of a "meh" finale, but it does have some kind of a resolution.

    I disagree on that as I
    killed Amita after seeing what she was doing and that she has killed Badhra, but there was no resolution to it. Nothing to signify that I actually killed her.
    The worst part was, both Amita and Sabal were utterly unlikable characters, so the fact that I had to follow one of them was uncool.

    Of course, there are a lot of other issues I have with the game too. First off, it was pretty much just Far Cry 3 but with different skins and voices. Secondly, Ajay is right up there with Aiden Pearce was being one of the most bland video game protagonists ever. He had about as much personality as a slice of Dominoes Pizza. There was no development for him whatsoever and we never learned anything about what he was like before he came to Kyrat. Pagan was the best character in the game and he was barely even in the damn thing. Also, there were all of these other characters that could have been interesting had they actually done more than just give Ajay tasks such as Loginus and Willis.

    The Arena was just down right annoying and the enemy AI was all over the place. Sometimes it seemed like they had the eyes of a hawk when it came to stealth and other times they were the dumbest idiots ever. The combat system was fine, but your armor seemed to be nothing more than tissue paper and the fact that you can not skip cutscenes was annoying as hell if you died during a mission and the checkpoint was before the cutscene. Finally, like Watch_Dogs, the driving physics were down right atrocious.

    Oh yeah, I tried out the online multiplayer as I wanted to get the trophy for playing the games once and it is a nightmare. I couldn't even complete one game because there were constant Host Migration failures happening, which was utter bull****!!!

    Overall, I give this game a 7/10 stars. If you have never played a Far Cry game before, you will probably enjoy this immensely as long as you don't want GTA quality story telling. If you have played FC3 (or any Ubisoft open world game for that matter), don't spend anything more than $30 on this game, if that, because you have already played this game. I'm going to be ebaying my copy in a few days.

    Deadpool; I finished Job One and LOLed at Deadpool singing Patsy Cline's song Crazy on the elevator ride. :lol 



    There's actually a Homefront sequel if you wanted more to the story, I think the game is coming out this year. As for your next game, play Call of Duty World At War. There's not a lot of WWII shooters set in the Pacific Theater or the Eastern Front and is also a lot of fun to play. Be warned, if you play on Veteran mode get ready to get grenade spammed every second.

    Playing Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth hot off the heels of my Persona 4 playthough, so I'm playing it from the perspective of the Persona 4 cast (haven't played 3 yet, but I'm going to).

    So far, it's pretty fun. A little disappointed that the original voice of Naoto didn't return to reprise the role, but her replacement is pretty good. Still my favorite character in the series. :)

    Wait, so there are two games on Persona Q? I thought the purpose of it was to have both groups working together.

    Same game from different perspectives. From what I heard, who you pick makes little difference to the actual story, it just depends on what your cast preference is.

    And they also eventually work together, but I'm not at that point yet.
