New Loot! #47 - "The Obsession Continues..." Edition

The series in which I brag about all my latest gaming acquisitions. This post is a bit late, as I grabbed these games several months ago. My bad...

---

***The Obsession Continues...***
New Loot! #47

Grim Dawn (PC)—
This one was on my wishlist for a very long time. The reviews actually sold me on this one.



Rise of the Tomb Raider (PC)—
Finally got it!! YAY!!!

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions (Android)—
This was on sale. I've never played it before and was thrilled to add it to my FF collection.

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT (PS4)—
Pre-order. This is my first time playing a brawler and I'm not sure how I feel about it. But I love seeing the older game characters with updated graphics. That's fun. :)

Assassin's Creed Syndicate (Xbox One)—
Hubby got this free with his Games with Gold thingy. Yeah, it's totally mine. Even though it's on the Xbone. I really dislike the Xbone...

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered (PS4)—
Gotta love Humble Bundle.

Have you gotten any new games lately? Tell us about it in the comments! ♥

Until next time...

New Loot! #46 - The "I'm Obsessed" Edition

The series in which I list what I've purchased recently...or what I've purchased that I've neglected to share with you lovely, lovely readers. 'Cause I haven't posted in a while...

So many games, so little time. Here's the latest...

---

***I'm Obsessed***
New Loot!

Divinity II: Director's Cut (PC)—
This was cheap. I mean, really cheap. It was part of a "Divine" bundle on Steam. Sounds interesting; I'm willing to give it a try.

Beyond Divinity (PC)—
This was part of a bundle on Steam. Three games for $3. Can't beat that.

Divine Divinity (PC)—
Part of the aforementioned bundle.



Bayonetta (PC)—
Considering my less than glowing review of this 360 game, it's probably strange that I went and bought it for PC huh? Yeah, I'm weird that way. lol

Tales of Berseria (PC)—
I always knew I was going to get this, ever since I played the demo. The price dropped low enough for me to justify the purchase.

Fable: The Lost Chapters (PC)—
I have this for Xbox, and it will play on the 360, but it's really glitchy. And for some reason, despite having the Anniversary edition, I wanted this one.



Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force (PC)—
...and a crap-ton of DLC. I have FFF, but havne't finished it. I'm given to understnad ADF is more or less an "extended" edition of that.

That's all for now. Sorry for the HUGE time gap between posts. Depression sucks. And that's all I'm gonna say about that.


Until next time...

New Loot! #45 - "Yet More RPGs...and then some" Edition

The blog series in which I let you know the latest gaming stuff I've acquired. 

---

***New Loot!***
"Yet More RPGs...and then some" Edition

Two Worlds (PC)—

Honestly, I think the only reason I bought this was the $1 sale price on GOG. And they gave me another game free just for spending the money. That was a bonus.

Rebel Galaxy (PC)—
This one was free when I bought Two Worlds. That's why I have it now.

Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness (PS4)—
So, yeah, I have the other Star Ocean games, and even though I've never finished one of them, I still bought this. I've started playing it and so far, it's cute.

Bayonetta Bloody Fate (Blu-ray)—
I played the first game and thought it was funny, if a little too much aimed at male players. Figured I oughtta at least give the movie a view, just to see. It's ok.

Fairy Fencer F (PC)—
It was on sale and seemed right up my alley. Only a few hours of gameplay in and I'm totally NOT regretting the purchase. Oh, the toilet humor....

Mount & Blade (PC)—
Another game with a description that appealed to me and a low enough price tag that I decided to take a chance. We'll see. I also grabbed Warband, With Fire and Sword, and some DLC while I was at it.

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing I, II, & III; Final Cut (PC)—
I have a weird interest in Van Helsing, though this game actually appealed to me because it reminds me of Victor Vran. Not sure which game came first, but I've played VV, so...

RPG Maker VX Ace (PC)—
...and VX, XP, MV, 2000, and 2003, plus a crap-ton of DLC. Yeah, it was a package deal, and yeah, not a game. Really cute, though, and I figured I'd put my writing "talent" to good use.

Antagonist, Echoes of Aetheria, Last Word, Pale Echoes, Remnants of Isolation, and Skyborn (PC)—
These all came with the RPG Maker deal, and they were all made using that software, or so I'm given to understand.

Oddworld: New N Tasty (PC)—
A remake (not remaster) of the original Abe's Odyssee. I remember enjoying the original (yeah, I'm super old), so yeah, I grabbed this when the price was something I could handle.

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age Collector's Edition (PS4)—
Squeenix sent me an email saying this CE was on sale... $80 off the retail. Still a pricey collection, but I didn't have the re-release yet and I've been eyeballing this collection for a long time. I've played enough of it to realize how much more I like the XII moogles as opposed to the 'white ball of fluff' moogles they use now. And Balthier has replaced Cloud as my FF crush...but I have a feeling that will change again when the FFVII REMAKE comes out.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Collector's Edition (PS4)—
I have a thing for collector's editions. It doesn't even have to be for a game I'd play. If they come with a figure, all the better. This one does.

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris Gold Edition—
Not a game this time, at least, this set doesn't actually come with a copy anyway. But that's OK; I already have this game for PC. This little set has an artbook, a map, and a funny little big-headed Lara Croft figure. I just can't say no to neat figures from video games...especially when they're on sale.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (PC)—
I've wanted this for years. I followed the development like the very best of gaming stalkers. I considered buying it right off the bat, but I couldn't handle $30 at the time. I saw it was available on GOG and knew I'd buy it from them. (I do like the idea that I can play a game without internet and I can transfer it to a non-internet PC without people thinking I'm doing something nefarious with it.) The Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale put it just within my price range.

Might & Magic 1-6 (PC)—
I'm not sure how I'll like these, but they were on sale on GOG for a whopping $2.49 for all six games. Hard to turn that down...

Gotten anything new lately? Tell us about it in the comments! ♥

New Loot! (#44) - "A Few More PS4 Exclusives" Edition

Yet another post about my recent gaming acquisitions...

---

***A Few More PS4 Exclusives***
New Loot!

It's a short list this time, but that's really no excuse when each game is $20+. Anyway, here's what I grabbed...

• The Last Guardian - this was actually a purchase for hubby, as he'd expressed interest in this puzzling, platformer-ish style game. I think the huge, rodent-like creature is cute and I want to know more. lol
• Sword Art Online: Lost Song - I already had Re: Hollow Fragment, and I love the anime series, so getting this was only a matter of waiting for the price to drop a little. It did, so now it's mine, all mine.
• Exist Archive: The other side of the sky - I stumbled across this on Amazon and it looked and sounded like a game I'd enjoy. Otherwise, I'd never even heard of it. 

That's it for this round. I'll probably have another post about more new loot...later. :D

Until next time...

New Loot! (#43) - "I Already Have That Game" Edition

The blog series in which I share the latest additions to my gaming library...

---

**I Already Have That Game**
New Loot!

Yeah, I have a habit of buying games more than once. This time I bought Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection, which I already had for 360. I had planned to get the AC games for PC, but honestly, Ubisoft doesn't seem to give a crap about PC, at least as far as the AC games go—poorly mapped controllers, no achievements, other issues that I don't know about personally since I only have one AC game for PC and I haven't even played it yet (Rogue, in case you're wondering). So I was pretty thrilled to discover the PS4 release of ACII, AC Brotherhood, and AC Revelations. They also included two short films, one that takes place before ACII (Lineage) and one that takes place after Revelations (Embers). All in all, a great addition to my library.

*All things AC belong to Ubisoft, who in no way endorses this blog. You may now go about your day. Thank you. 

Until next time...

New Loot! (#42) - "Why Oh Why" Edition

The series in which I lament my sad inability to resist game sales...

---

***"Why Oh Why?"***
New Loot #42

Yet again, I have succumbed to Steam's winter sale prices, adding a few more games and some DLC to my ever-expanding collection.

• Trine 1-3 - Hubby already bought these and they are co-op, so I figured I'd get them too and we'd play together. We need something in common other than Borderlands 2...
• ABZÛ - Sooooo pretty...
  

New Loot! (#41) - "Take My Money" Edition

Yet another post in which I tell you of my latest gaming finds...

---

***Take My Money***
New Loot #41

Yet again, the PC peoples got me with their sales and whatnot. I'm so easy...

From Steam (the Thanksgiving sale they had...I think):

• Battleborn: Digital Deluxe Edition - Not a very popular game, but I had fun with the Closed Technical Test and the Open Beta, so I bought it. 
• Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Ultimate Edition - I have this for 360, but I'm hoping to mod it. Why? 'Cause I wanna be able to actually beat it.
• The Witcher Enhanced Edition - Already owned it through GOG, bought it again. I'm weird that way.
• The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition - Another I already owned and bought again. There's something broken in my head...
• Tales from the Borderlands - Yeah, I'm still not sure why I bought this. Again. I bought it from GOG a few weeks ago, yet... Yeah. I have on 360 too. I think my Borderlands addiction might be a bit out of control... 

From Steam's Winter Sale (in effect now through Jan 2):

• Ys I & II Chronicles+ - I've had this on my wishlist for a while. Figured I'd grab it while it was under $5. 
• Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons - I started playing this on 360 and for some reason never finished it. I'll finish it this time. Plus it was under $3. 
• Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition - another that's been on my wishlist for a while. Grabbed it for less than $10.
• Mass Effect - one of hubby's favorite games. Figured I oughtta give it a try when it's under $5. 
• Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe Edition - another of hubby's favorites. Pretty sure he said this was his favorite of the three games that are currently out in this series. It was under $5 in the Winter Sale. Plus Steam let me bundle it with the first game and gave me an extra discount.
• Final Fantasy VI - 'cause I didn't have it yet. Enough reason and it was half off, putting it under $10. 
• Tales of Zestiria - yet another from my wishlist that I just couldn't resist in this sale. It was under $15, and well worth it, if the reviews are to be believed. I grabbed one of the DLCs as well. 

From GOG: 

• The Witcher III: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition - I own so much Witcher crap. Games, books, soundtracks, comics; the list goes on and on. Granted, most of that comes with the digital versions of the games from GOG, but the books I buy as they're translated and released here in the US. Everyone had to know I'd eventually get this game. I had to wait a bit for the price on the GOTY edition to drop. Then it went on sale [again] for $30. Now it's mine. All mine. Mwahahahahaha!!!!!!

GOG gave me (as part of their Monstrous Winter Sale): 

• D&D Neverwinter Nights Diamond - Seems interesting. This was the game they gave to everyone just for stopping by and checking out the sale. It was free for 48 hours. 
• Shadow Warrior Classic Redux - Um...it was free for getting 5000 points in the Winter Sale. I don't actually have an opinion on this one...
• Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut - Again, seems interesting. This was the free game for reaching 15k EXP. I bought Witcher III so I got a crap-ton of points.
• Stasis - Again, no opinion on this one. It was free for getting 30k points. I did that with one purchase. Go me. 

And because I just can't help myself:

• Final Fantasy XV Season Pass (PS4) - I preordered the game, so why wouldn't I get the season pass as well, right?

Gotten any good games lately? Tell us in the comments. ♥

Until next time...

New Loot! (#40) - It's here! It's here! It's finally HERE!!! Edition

The series of posts in which I tell you, my lovely readers, all about my latest game-related score...

---

**It's here! It's here! It's finally HERE!!!**
New Loot! (#40)

Oh my freaking heavens, the day HAS FINALLY ARRIVED! It is November 30, and just yesterday I received my copy of Final Fantasy XV. I'm playing it now, as you read this post. (Yes, I scheduled this post, 'cause I KNEW I'd have no time for blogging once my game arrived. I was right.)

I also got the Blu-ray edition of Kingsglaive / Brotherhood over two weeks ago and I've watched them both multiple times.

Gotta go now. Not sure why, since at the moment I write this, I have no game to play and all that demands my attention is my kids and my housework. Pfft.

Until next time...

New Loot! (#39) - The Lara Croft Edition

The series in which I brag about the games I just bought, and refuse to admit that I'll probably never play half of them...

---

***The Lara Croft Edition***
New Loot!

Yet another edition where the number of games I bought exceeds the viability of making the new loot post pretty. However, I've included links to the games I just added to my library. If only Steam didn't know just  how to tempt me...

New additions to my gaming library:

1. Tomb Raider I
2. Tomb Raider II
3. Tomb Raider III: The Adventures of Lara Croft
4. Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation
5. Tomb Raider V: Chronicles
6. Tomb Raider VI: The Angel of Darkness
7. Tomb Raider VII: Legend
8. Tomb Raider VIII: Underworld
9. Tomb Raider Anniversary
10. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light + DLC
11. Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris + DLC

Can you believe it? Sheesh. They said I could have them all (plus any and all DLC) for only $22. I couldn't turn that down when I didn't even own 8 of them yet. (I already had I & II for PS1 and Guardian of Light for 360.)

Anyway, if you can see it, I've embedded a link below that will take you to Steam. They have the Tomb Raider games on sale quite often, I've noticed.

Until next time...

New Loot (#38) - GOG Got Me Edition

The series of posts wherein I share my latest gaming hauls...

---

***GOG Got Me***
New Loot #38

Oh my heavens, GOG really got me good this time! I grabbed so many games in this recent sale that I'm just gonna list 'em here instead swiping pics and making everything all fancy-like.

I bought...

1. World of Goo - I used to have this game way back when it first came out. The developers had it set up on a donation basis. Yes, I gave them money. Yes, it was more than a penny like some people gave them...
2. Tales from the Borderlands - I wanted this for PC even though I already have it for 360. What can I say? I'm a Borderlands junkie.
3. Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee - So many happy memories playing this game on PS1. Weird thing, we never actually bought it. We rented it. Remember back when you could rent video games? Do they still do that? 
4. Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus - The sequel to Abe's Oddysee. Had to get it for that reason alone.
5. Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee - Another sequel, of sorts. Isn't rated as highly as the other two games, but I figured I oughtta add it anyway.
6. The Witcher Adventure Game - I have every other Witcher game (except Wild Hunt, but I'm waiting for a slightly lower price) so I grabbed this one. 

GOG gave me...

1. Little Big Adventure 2 (aka Twinsen's Odyssey) - Hey, it was free, so I grabbed it. 
2. Expeditions: Conquistador - Might be fun...
3. DEX - Looks interesting...
4. Victor Vran - Yeah, I already have this, but now I have it twice. I really like it. lol

Until next time...

New Loot! (#37) - Another RPG

The blog series in which I brag about my recent game-related acquisitions...to make you jealous...

---

***Another RPG***
New Loot!

It's clear I have a thing for RPGs. I just want to collect them all, or something. To that end, I've added yet another to my growing library of games...

If you can't see the little embedded thingie above, it's Victor Vran, which I grabbed while it was discounted on Steam.

Until next time...

New Loot! (#36) - RPG Heaven Edition

The series in which I show off my shiny new games and game related loot...

---

***RPG Heaven!***
New Loot! #36

I am a total sucker for a Steam sale and they got to me again. And then again. Here are the latest shinies I managed to snag...

New Loot! (#35) - Flames, Faeries, Aliens, N Orcs Edition

The blog series in which I brag about my latest gaming acquisitions...

---

Steam has a bunch of games on sale, pretty much at any given moment. One of my favorite turn-based RPGs (Faery) happened to be included in the list this time, so I freaked out and grabbed it, along with a few others. 

***Bound By Flame***

New Loot! (#34) - Tablet, Batman, and Orcs, OH MY!

More loot! Woo-hoo! Check out my latest haul from one of Steam's mid-week sales. Oh, and there might be some new hardware in there somewhere too.

---

The Batman games were recommended to me by my nephew. He loves anything and everything Batman. I'm not the biggest Batman fan, but I don't hate him either. These games look like they're my kind of games, regardless of the theme. And you just can't beat 75% off. lol (I got them for only $5 each.) 

New Loot! (#33)

Yet more games have made their merry way into my collection. This time they're PC games we got when we bought an old gaming PC from my cousin. Not sure if I'll play them, but with me, you never know.

---

***Overlord***

Of the four games, this is the one that intrigues me the most. Don't know much about it. You get to be the overlord in charge of a horde of minions, making them do your bidding. Crude humor is listed in the rating. There's mention of rabid unicorns. Yes, please.

Sounds a little like Fable on crack. Or not. 

New Loot! (#32)

More loot for my mad gaming self! Woot!!

---

***The Order: 1886***
Collector's Edition

I kinda like Collector's Editions, especially when they include statues and cool things like that. This game has intrigued me since I saw the first trailer, but the mixed reviews made me hesitate. I finally took the plunge.

This edition has the game in a steelbook case, codes to download some in-game items, the soundtrack, and a nifty statue of [I assume] the main character taking cover. It's all pretty neat. 

---

***Heavenly Sword***
DVD

As a fan of video games, I am, of course, a fan of anything and everything related to video games. I grabbed the Heavenly Sword DVD from Amazon for the stellar deal of only $3.74. How could I possibly pass that up?

From everything I've read, this movie parallels the game. It's not a prequel, not a sequel; it's the same story, just not interactive. I've not made it very far in the game yet, but I think I'll wait until I've beaten it before watching this.

---

***Xbox 360 Controller***
Rock Candy

Some of you know I broke my old 360 controller, so I needed to get a new one. I'd been admiring the brightly colored Rock Candy controllers for some time, so I finally took the plunge and grabbed myself a lime green one. Seems to work pretty well at this point, but I've only given it 20 mins of testing so far. It sure is pretty.

Until next time...

New Loot! (#31)

I just love buying new games. I want to try them all out immediately, but that's kinda silly when you think about it. I mean, I need to finish a few of the others I've started before starting a new one, right? Right?? 

---

***New Loot! (#31)***

Steam's summer sale is happening right now,* and there are tons of games I want. I had to limit myself to just a few this time, though, since money's a little tight. But this is gaming and seriously, if I don't spend my money on games, I'll buy something really silly. Like food. Or clothes. 

So here is today's haul, with a nifty little clipping from my invoice to show you the games I settled on. Settled, pffft!

• Final Fantasy VIII - Square Enix; Rated T - I already have this for PS1, but I love gaming on my PC, so figured I'd try out this port.
• Final Fantasy XIII - Square Enix; Rated T - I already have this for 360, but I wanted it for PC too, 'cause... REASONS! 
• Tales of Symphonia - Bandai Namco; Rated T - I adored Tales of Vesperia (check out my review HERE)! I decided I want to try all the Tales of games eventually. Most of them are PlayStation exclusives, specifically PS3, and some are for the handheld gaming devices. Symphonia was originally on Nintendo CameCube, was then ported to PS3, which was then ported to PC. Quite a journey this little game has had. 

*The summer sale ends July 4, just FYI. ♥

Until next time...

New Loot! (#30)

I haven't gotten new loot lately, but hubby just bought some shiny new things for my PC. Computer guts! Woo-hoo!! ♥

---

***New Loot! (#30)***

I have a pretty decent gaming PC (it's actually my EVERYTHING computer, but I game on it too), but hubby decided to upgrade the graphics card again. I'm not complaining. He got me a gaming card that withstands my games so much BETTER. Holy frell, you have no idea. I may have to start reviewing hardware on this blog.

OK, I admit it. He bought it for himself. LOL He plays Skyrim and Fallout 4 on my PC, so he kinda needed the upgrade. But then he went and bought all the parts he needed to build his own gaming PC, including the items I've listed below, so now it's all mine. :D

First thing he bought was the graphics card. It's an AMD R9 380 GAMING 4G card. This badboy is insane. Two HUGE fans. It's so big we had to remove the wireless card just so this thing will fit. Not a big deal, since my wireless card quit working a while ago. :P

I posted a pic on Facebook of my new card sitting next to my old 4G card. You can check it out for yourself by clicking HERE.

How pretty is this thing? I mean, damn. It's even black and red. It's like it was made for me. ;)

My computer's fairly old, so my old power supply couldn't handle my new graphics card. So hubby got a new power supply too. He got a Sentey 725W Xplus Power Supply. I don't really know what else to say about it. It's a power supply. LOL

He got everything hooked up and working. Took a bit to get through all the initial setup for the new card, as usual. (Stupid Windows with its tendency to freak the frell out over every tiny thing. grumble, grumble) But we got through it. Then he tried out Fallout 4 and Skyrim. DEFINITE improvement. Wow. Then he made me (HA! Made me, lol!) play a few of my games and really test the graphics. Tomb Raider (2013) was the most noticeably improved. Holy crap. Funny how quickly you get used to some lag in a video game. Once it's gone, it's shocking. In a good way.

Enough about that. If I keep going, this will turn into a review instead of a simple "Look at my loot!" post. So I'll leave it at that.

The images here link to Amazon, in case you want to check out specs, reviews, etc. 

Until next time...

New Loot (#29)

More Steam and GOG sales, more games for Lowli. Steam and GOG love me. Or hate me. Depends on how you look at things. :P

Don't know who Lowli is? That's me. I'm LowliGigger on Xbox and Steam, LowliGiggre on PlayStation, and JaimeyGrant on GOG (meant to be LowliGigger on GOG too, but messed that up when I signed up, lol). Look me up if you'd like to friend me any of these places. :)

***Assassin's Creed Rogue***
Digital Deluxe Edition

Published by Ubisoft 

Developed by Ubisoft 

Released 2015 

*Rated M for Mature 17+*

I didn't have this AC yet, so when it went on sale on Steam I grabbed it. And while I was at it, I grabbed the deluxe edition that has all the DLC.

Kinda weird, though, as new as this game is, there are no Steam Achievements. I found that odd...

---

***Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes***

Published by Ubisoft

Developed by Capybara Games

Released 2011

*Rated E for Everyone 10+*

I played this game all the way through on Xbox 360 and figured I'd relive the joy on PC. I don't typically do multiplayer, so it's just the story mode I'm interested in, but it was a fun game on Xbox, so... And Steam had it on sale. I'm a sucker for a Steam sale. 

---

***Child of Light***
+ DLC

Published by Ubisoft 

Developed by Ubisoft

Released 2014 

*Rated E for Everyone 10+*

I have this for Xbone but I HATE Xbone, so I grabbed it for PC when it went on sale on Steam. I mean, why not? It's an RPG. With original artwork. Need I say more?

I went ahead and grabbed all the DLC as well, 'cause again, why not?

*I totally swiped the "box" art from Steam. All the images link to Steam. :) 

---

***Sid Meier's Pirates!***
Live the Life

Published by 2K Games

Developed by Firaxis Games

Released 2005 

*Rated E for Everyone*

I have this for Xbox but both of my Xboxes are temperamental. So when GOG put this game on sale for only $5 I couldn't help but grab it. Apparently, this game is a remake of a 1987 game. Super retro. :D

*I totally swiped the "box" art from GOG. It links to GOG. :) And I have no idea why it did that weird white bar on the right side of it either. Oh well.

Until next time... 

New Loot! (#28)

Hubby's been on a game-buying binge, so we have some new Xbox One games now. And Steam had a Square Enix sale, so I grabbed a few Final Fantasy games for half off. Seriously, Steam will be the ruination of me.

***Final Fantasy III***

Published by Square Enix

Developed by Square Enix

Released 1990/2014 

*Rated E 10 for Everyone 10+*

Holy crap, I'm already in love with the cuteness of this game. Definitely one of the best games I've bought and I think everyone who loves the retro, nostalgic feel of old, crappy graphics should grab this PC game. It's the FF game I'm gonna start my kids on. It's that good/fun/adorable. lol

---

***Final Fantasy VII***

Published by Square Enix

Developed by Square Enix

Released 1998/2013

*Rated T for Teen*

After reading the reviews for this on Steam, I wonder if buying it there was a mistake. It appears Squeenix is rather protective of this particular title and playing it not only requires an active internet connection, you also HAVE to be connected to the Square Enix site in order to play. This seems to cause many problems. I haven't tried myself yet, so I can't say from personal experience. Still, I'm concerned.

---

***Lightning Returns***
Final Fantasy XIII

Published by Square Enix

Developed by Square Enix

PC edition released 2015

*Rated T for Teen*

I've enjoyed FFXIII-2 so much (for 360 and PC) and Lightning Returns on 360, so I knew it was just a matter of time before I grabbed the Steam version of LR:FFXIII. Well, it went on sale for half off and I gave in to temptation. It came with all the DLC schemata (outfits for Lightning that have battle perks) and there are a few mods for this game too, so... BONUS! ☺

---

***Forza 5***

Published by Microsoft Studios

Developed by Turn 10 Studios 

Released 2013

Xbox Exclusive 

*Rated E for Everyone*

Hubby bought an Xbone even though he already had one. He wanted to gift the console (and a copy of Fallout 4) to my cousin, so he grabbed a console that included a few other games. This was one of them. It's for his collection, since I don't particularly care for racing games.

---

***RYSE: Son of Rome***
Legendary Edition

Published by Microsoft Studios

Developed by Crytek 

Released 2013
Microsoft Exclusive (Xbox One/PC only)

*Rated M for Mature 17+*

This came with an Xbone that hubby bought recently. I've been eyeballing this game on Steam, so I wasn't averse to acquiring it, though I'm not sure I'm OK with it being the Xbone edition instead of the PC edition. I'll make do. lol

This is the legendary edition so it has a bunch of DLC (all download codes) included.

---

***Sunset Overdrive***

Published by Microsoft Studios 

Developed by Insomniac Games

Released 2014

Xbox Exclusive 

*Rated M for Mature 17+*

Hubby bought an Xbox One and this came with it. I watched gameplay videos of this one and it seemed funny, the way Borderlands is funny. I'll probably give it a chance.

Until next time...
