Shenmue on the Dreamcast - still looks good after all these years
Call of Duty 2 on PC - along with COD4 MW the best in the series.

^^ great choices. Agreed about the CoD games, although I personally loved cod1 for PC the most. so many memories of clanbase scrims and hours sunk into those games.

Got BF1 preloaded to play when I get home, didn't get a chance last night due to the 40gb download for it!

If you like your cars and sims... it is awesome. It looks amazing. If you would rather a bit more of an arcade style and street racing... Forza Horizon 3 might have been a better choice.

The fact you have never played any... do you actually like cars at all? :D

I do like my cars to be honest, I'm a simple gamer, I only buy the latest Fifa or GTA. I'm easily pleased.

The last car game I bought was Ridge racer on the PS1 or 2..

So maybe she has done me a favour :D

Mad Max on PC. Better than expected so far.

Episode 3 of The Batman Telltale series and Red Dead Redemption on 360, because I had a near orgasm over that teaser for RDR2.

Civ VI is pretty good. Everyone else on the map seems to hate me a lot, though. Kongo declared war on me within 6 turns of meeting them. I have no idea why.

I also cannot recommend Stellaris enough to anyone who likes Sci-Fi based Strategy/Resource/War/Political games. I've probably played this game nearly every day since it was released 5 months ago. Paradox are a fantastic publisher.

Got this for free on PS +.

It's a bit heavy on the eyes ain't it? Had to have a lie down after a 10 minute go earlier. :)

I bought Shadows of Mordor

Only played it for a couple of hours, but it seems to be really dark, repetitive and cumbersome.

Forza Horizon, was free from xbox and a few of us from work have got into trying to beat each other on the speed cameras. Wish there was more to compete on, the newer ones are better for this!

World of Warcraft, never really played it before, been at it since just before Legion's launch. Found a guild of decent people with similar outlooks. Sort of annoyed I've purposely avoided this all these years, not sure why.

Paid up 6 months subs , so Blizzard have me (for) now.

Limbo on PS4.
Little else to say about this one. It's a simple and atmospheric platform puzzle game with some of the most beautiful neo-noir artistry I've ever seen.
Entirely in black and white, it's eerie yet exciting with some great brain teasing puzzles. Worth the $4!

Got Madden 17 for my birthday. Had a quick go but haven't had the time to play in properly yet. Looks good so far though.

I got a tad sentimental and picked up some quality scrolling shooters from my childhood, namely Gradius, Gradius II and Salamander.
All from Konami, all absolute classics. Still great to play. Each game has regional versions that varies the difficulty and enemy concentration somewhat.
The NA version tend to be the toughest, the European one the easiest, so I therefore play the Jap version.
