Gaming craze ...

With the school year finally winding down, it's time to indulge one of my hobbies gaming. That's not an easy thing to do because of the holiday season coming up and games publishers pushing out title after title!

Been looking at these few games - Endless Legend (bought), Civilization Beyond Earth, Shadow of Mordor (bought), NBA2K15 (bought), GTA V, FM2015., FIFA15,

Still playing - Guild Wars 2, FM2014, Civ 5, Hawken, Heroes Charge (mobile), Marvel Puzzle Quest (mobile)

I play them every year and I still keep going back for more. It's just small changes here and there but I cannot seem to get enough of Football Manager and NBA games. NBA2K15 is really nice this year, am loving every minute of it so far!

Was hunting for games the other day and realised that there were online 3rd party retailers selling CD keys for cheaper prices than Steam. Had used services like these back in the early days of WoW but had stopped because Steam made buying of games so convenient. Anyway, this was what I used to purchase Endless Legend for a cheaper price than could be found on Steam.

While I was reading about Steam pricing of games, I also came across an article on ST that basically attributed the stubborn refusal of prices to fall despite digital distribution to publishers and retailers in Singapore. Link is here.

Lastly, while I'm on gaming issues. Do wish that more of my friends were gamers. It's lonely at times in MMOs without friends.
