Loving the game so far. Had a few glitches but overall it's visually breathtaking.

Slight spoiler: I've just made it over to the second island and i'm just taking over territories at the minute before getting back into the main story. I've done the first paper trail mission in it's entirety and I'm just waiting for part 2 to appear on the second island. (any ideas when it'll pop up?)

oh and here's a pic I took last night. Delsin chillin' with his wheels:

MGS4 for me. I own it and have tried to get through it 3-4 times but every time I just get around 4 hours in and I'm just bored out of my mind. I'm guessing it's a game that you have to either be "in to" or not. I never really enjoyed any previous MGS games other than the first and just cannot see the pull of this one. The graphics aren't great, voice acting is hammy and game play just isn't fun (all IMHO). Truth be told there's not many games out there that I just dismiss as easily but this one just doesn't do it for me at all.

I'm 33 and have children myself. I've been gaming since the age of 4 (ZX Spectrum) and understand the stigma attached to having video games as your favourite pass-time. I openly encourage my kids to play games whenever possible (after homework/chores etc... ) as I know, not only how much fun they are, but also how educational they can be.

Don't get me wrong I also push my kids to play sports and exercise but I just don't understand the parents who push their kids to be more "social" and go out with friends whenever possible instead of gaming. They have usually taken note of the media who portray gamers as either socially inept lock-ins or gun toting psychopaths. Truth be told I believe kids are much more at risk hanging around with friends outside where peer-pressure plays a massive role in kids trying smoking, drugs, alcohol and petty crime. Much more than video games ever have.

My honest opinion is that if a child is a violent sociopath it's generally down to some deep rooted psychological problem, not through playing a few hours on GTA. In my youth I've played games for days on end and never felt the need to hurt another human being nor have I become an emotional cripple. It's just too easy for people to point the finger at video games or movies, as the possibility that people are just inherently evil or socially incompatible is a hard truth to accept. It takes away any illusion of control we may have over our society.

The most important thing is that kids are raised in a loving and nurturing environment. Irrespective of the games they play or movies they watch.

Silent hill, RE and Dino Crisis spring to mind. They looked great at launch and played fantastically but haven't aged well at all. They now just control like tanks and visually are just a complete mess. Would love to play remakes of all 3 but that's just not gonna happen. RE-Make on the Gamecube was just brilliant.

So far I'm up to £160 ($266) with my biggest expense being InFAMOUS:SS, although if you include my PS4 Console I'm sitting at £560 ($931).

This year I plan on buying:

• Octodad: £12
• TLOU (PS4): £40
• Watch Dogs: £50
• Destiny: £50
• The Evil Within: £50
• Alien Isolation: £50
• The Order 1886: £50
• Dying Light: £50
• The Division: £50

Making my overall total: £562 ($935)
Including console: £962 ($1600)

To Be fair I don't really see that as a massive amount considering it's my main pass-time. A lot of my friends are football season ticket holders and must spend at least £2000 a season watching their team. For me if you convert the length of time/enjoyment I'll be getting from those games then it's very cheap IMO.

Quite fancy one each if I had the money to burn. Imagine having a controller colour coordinated to match your play-through style. You could use your blue one for good/paragon play through of InFAMOUS:SS (or the new Mass Effect), then switch to red for your evil/renegade play-through.

Both look pretty sweet but the price of controllers are getting a bit rich for my blood. Gone are the days of being able to pick up a controller for £10. Now they retail at £60.

Finally bought Flower as my first triple cross buy (PS4, PS3, Vita) and it's a complete blast to play. Vita screen controls are a bit naff so switched to motion and it works like a dream.

Looks fantastic. Only problem is my 6 year old is now obsessed with the game and won't let me play on it much. Probably my top "That Game Company" game. Surpassing Journey IMHO.

I've already completed it on physical copy but gonna re-play on digital. Same as Tomb Raider and Bioshock. All 3 are top, top games.

Average at around 1-2 hours a night if I can Mon-Fri. Weekend can vary depending on shifts at work for me and my wife. I can play as much as 10 hours on a weekend if home alone yet can go weeks without playing much at all. I'd say at Most 22 hours, at least 2 hours (and boy do I hate those weeks).

Gaming is my hobby/main pastime but is also the way I like to relax after a stressful day at work.

I'm 33 now and no longer drink or go out as much (maybe for the odd meal every so often). I don't smoke or do any recreational drugs. The cinema doesn't interest me as much as it did, I don't watch TV (Only decent series on Netflix) and don't read very often. So when I have the time, and spare money, I love nothing better than spending my hard earned cash on systems/games and immersing myself in the many varied worlds which developers have provided me with.

Oh and it's hella-fun.
