Games of 2018 - what I played through the year

Welcome to 2019. And first thing we do is is look back at 2018 - more specifically what games I have played.

Compared to the last couple of years (2017 games and 2016 games) the total number played is much reduced at 68. Nine games were completed this year, plus all the story dlc for Destiny 2 and two of three story dlc for Ghost Recon Wildlands. 16 games played were already completed in earlier years and there was only 3 beta/alpha's played this year.

It's noteworthy by this point that the games I choose to play are very often games that don't have a traditional 'end point' - Destiny 2, Neverwinter, Skyforge, Brawlhalla, Warframe, The Division, Battlefield 1, or else are games that are requests from daughters (Minecraft, all the Lego games)

And having not run the First Time Play video's for the last year, there haven't been as many one-off games.

In fact, Destiny 2 was the biggest time sink of the year - well over 200 hours, which is something like 4 times as much as the next most played game (which I think was Neverwinter) and I have finally burnt out on the game, just as the Black Armoury dlc was released.

I'm noticing as well that there is an increase in games demanding to be logged into daily - the first chunk of any game time seems to be getting the log-in reward from several games before actually getting into something I can choose. I'm not yet certain what I think of this - thoughts will follow though ...

Halo 3: more minus than plus?

I still remain a firm fan of UT in all it's flavours but I did spend three hours on Halo 3 at the weekend: This was on the co-op campaign with a friend who has already completed once. In those three hours, we managed (with me first-timing Halo 3 - and only experience with the demo of the original Halo prior) to get someway into mission 6 (of 9). It looks gorgeous, sounds amazing, and surprising slow. Anyone jumping floats in the air for several seconds, and there's no dodging. Even the fast vehicles like Ghosts seem to take an age to come about. With two players, Halo 3 was good fun, despite all that. My partner in crime knew (mostly) what needed to be done and I am always able to flank opponents. He is a much better driver than I am but I am probably a better turret gunner. I do have some good memories now of that session (in no particular order): operating a mounted gun in a Warthog and using his zoomed in sniper view to watch my tracer fire and take down the sniper he was ai

Games of 2017 - what I've actually played

Okay so this one is a little late ... I've neglected this blog throughout 2018 but here is at last the list for games played through 2017. It follows on from the 2016 list (at this link ) and leads into the 2018 list (posted here). This years gaming total is higher at 150 total games played. There were only 12 completions but another 19 games that have at least story completion. There were nine demo's - again which I'm couting as separate to full games as progress in the demo isn't transferred to the main game. Rare replay has 30 games of which I tried each one once, and Tales From the Borderland I've separated out into five games (of which three episodes I played in 2017) and these I think contribute to a massive increase from 2016, alongside the 26 games for the Cancer Research marathon. There is a marked increase in Android games, as I look for an offline game that will tide me over (and not really finding one) and I'm using the Xbox much more th

Towers of synchronicity

Funny how that synchronicity things works. Some time back, I'm left with half an hour to kill and wander into a Forbidden Planet - it was that or a coffee and I was waiting to go for coffee somewhere else so ... While browsing the book shelves, one title reaches out. More Digressions For those who don't recognise the reference this is a collection of columns from one Peter David (link to his blog to the right). Author didn't ring a bell but I'd recently read a couple of books of compiled columns and a quick flick through suggested I'd enjoy it. Bought it on the spur of the moment and it was as I read through it over the next few days that I began to recognise the author. For those big into Marvel, he did the stories for Hulk and Spider Man for a time, including the movie adaptations; DC readers may have come across his words in Young Justice , sci-fi buffs may have some of his Star Trek books on the shelf. How is this relevent to gaming? Well, Shadow Complex was
