I'd recommend getting Elder Scrolls online for Xbox One as the servers are far better.

I started playing Project X Zone recently. It's a pretty mindless but entertaining strategy RPG at it's heart - however, the layers of ridiculously plotlines and nonsensical crossover fanservice is pretty hilarious. Pretty jokes seeing all these assorted Capcom, Namco and Sega characters find themselves working together because reasons.

Yeah, To The Moon was the only game to make me cry also. It was amazing.

Also I played through Ghost Trick, a DS game made by the Ace Attorney team and really enjoyed it. It's hard to describe what it's like, but it's kind of like Broken Sword but with the aim of the game being using powers of manipulation to change the fates of people and find out who you are. The best thing about it was a character that you encounter and end up seeing a lot of is a dog called Missile. He is so adorable and determined and optimistic and great, he's easily the best dog character to ever grace a game. It was just great, and I would recommend it to everyone.

Ghost Trick has been on my 'to buy' list for a long, long time. Really should get around to playing it. You've also reminded me that I still need to play the new Ace Attourney too..!

Get it off the 'to buy' list and buy it! I got it bought for me and didn't play it for weeks because I thought 'meh' to the look of it. I wish I had played it sooner though, the characters are more odd and charming than Ace Attorney even!

The new Ace Attorney is very very good by the way. There's a bit of a boring mission in it but like always it has a supremely intricate and amazingly satisfying ending. Ghost Trick has an amazing ending too come to think of it... Those guys no matter what else always give you a damn good ending.

Absolutely loving the new South Park game but fuck...........the censors are pissing me off with the amount of stuff that's been taking out in this one section. So much has been retracted its like what the fuck is the point of this section now.

If it's any consolation, I really want to play it but I hear the Australian release has even more censored :(
