My wife and our daughters use the room mainly to play Kinect (dance central, sports), my son uses it as his main video gaming room, that’s his xbox360 and skylanders figures. I use the room mainly to play coop with my son and to have a blast on the older games machines. -

Top games I played 2011
A list of the games that I enjoyed in 2011. The list only includes games I played during the year, and not the year they were released. Note there are some major titles that I have yet to play, such as ‘Dark Souls’, ‘Uncharted 3’
The Elder Scrolls V:Skyrim : Thankfully I choose the Xbox360 version, I just love being in this world. The scale, scope and detail of this game is just remarkable. I see myself playing this for yrs
Bastion was strange, I first tried it mid-year for about 2 hrs. Thought it was good, but just didn’t bother going back to it. With all the end of year talk I thought I should have another go. I completed Crysis2 late one night and thought, i can give bastion a go. It got hold of me, and I ended playing it all through, only finishing at 3:30am in the morning on a work day :)
Loved the weapon levelling and the gameplay. People focus on the narration (which is good) but the strongest part of this game is its awesome gameplay
Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure: 2011 was the year I introduced my son to the StarWars Movies, apart from that awesome moment. The many hrs I played Skylanders with him was so bloody awesome, the game is solid and has great levelling mechanics with some awesome weapon upgrades. My son and I had a blast, we spent the day after boxing day desperately running around town looking for more characters. A great game for kids and adults alikeSide note, son completed it. The PC game you get for free is fun, My fav char = Trigger Happy
Singularity : Loved the story and gunplay, feels old skoolish, but in a good way. Raven delivered an engrossing single player FPS, solid gameplay loved the story and gunplay, feels old skoolish in a good way. Didn’t feel as bland as many of the current shooters. Raven delivered an engrossing single-player FPS, with solid gameplay that is consistent throughout. No real mega high-spots, but kept me interested and wanting more always.I wish more FPS would be like this, as it doesn’t seem like they designed it by focus groups. But by the developers :)

Mass Effect 3, main story completed
Background – I found Mass Effect 1 so boring, my biggest gaming disappointment this gen. Whereas Mass Effect 2 I adored, loved the combat, the characters and the story. It grip me right until the end. Was such an epic experience. My only complaint would be that I would have preferred it if they had left in item management. This was simplified too much for my taste.
Mass Effect 3, I was so looking forward to this. anyways after about a good 25+ hrs I have completed the main story line. I struggled with the game from the start, it just wasn’t grabbing me. Think it was to do with the characters and story, I didn’t care for what was happening and to whom. So a very average beginning and middle, however thankfully it did pick up for me about two thirds in, and got ‘great’ towards the end.
I thought the visuals were not consistent, at times they was nice, at times quite dull and ugly. The sounds/music fantastic and was amazing on dolby digital system. I had a great time with the special skills. Weapons felt great and had some weight to them, and they all felt different. Disk Swapping was tedious (even though I installed to hard drive) The controls, holy crap the worst thing about the game. I always found myself attaching to cover whenever I didn’t want to and it was the main reason for many of my deaths, it became so frustrating at times, I even screamed at the TV (I don’t remember ME2 ever having such a problem).To sum it up, a good game but I was hoping for more, but did really enjoy the last third. We don’t seem to be having much luck with the third instalments of games for this gen, seems like everyone is just treading water and delivering ‘average’, playing it to safe. (looking at you Uncharted 3, Halo3, Gears 3)
Still looking forward to what they produce next, as maybe not up to the bar set by Mass Effect 2. But still better than most.

Kinect Times
We picked up Kinect for the kids when i first came out, but we put it away for xmas. Me and Debs had a blast on Dance Central late one night without them knowing, Debs loved it and we know the kids will.
Boxing day, Santa brings the kids kinect and a selection of games. ITS A MASSIVE HIT. The girls loved Kinectables so much, that they slept in the games room so their Kinectable wasnt alone
Some pics of me and Debs having a go, and Astra not looking to impressed
