I was really amped up when I 1st saw this game and thought it was possibly the reason to get a ps4 for, then I realised it was a re-release so I dropped on the PS3 version for £14.50 and saved a load of cash for now. I am enjoying the game but finding it a bit too story based and I feel like I am just pressing buttons here & there then watching a cut scene, it is a good game though but if I had payed £50 pled the outlay for the PS4 I might of been a bit annoyed. I will keep my PS3 for a bit longer and maybe get a PS4 for Xmas 14 as the new castlevainia looks good also and I have yet to play the last one, then Mario Kart 8 will fill up Spring hopefully. I don't really play games much in the summer as I would rather be out before the 6 months of rain comes around again....

I have played this game way too much with the kids this xmas, last night I could see it when I shut my eyes. TBH I love it!!! It plays well is great fun and has plenty to see and do. We are just in need of more stars to unlock the 1st secret world after finishing the games boss, we are about 21 stars short so have some work to do. We also had a great laugh playing 4 player yesterday when some family visited racing through the 1st level as fast as poss seeing who would score highest. I was never really into mario 64 as I found the controls hard when judging the 3d jumps but on this game I have had no problems. I also really enjoyed Mario Bros Wii U a lot so I guess I am a bit of a sucker for Mario games. We also got Marvel Lego and I can't stand it, gameplay is slow and confusing at times, no skill required and despite looking pretty I really can't understand all the rave reviews of it...

Don't be bashing everyone in the UK too hard My Mario 3d World arrived today for "The worst gift this holiday season" Sadly I am giving it to my kids for Xmas so no playing that one yet. The Wii U is my favourite console ever, I have not played the PS3 once since I got it and I was playing athe Vita the other day and got bored. I just beat SMB U today and will be looking at the Star Road later on. It is lack of marketing that has prevented this system selling over here IMO no-one seems to have a clue what a Wii U is. My friend with a Wii who has just got a PS4 didn't even know Nintendo had released a new console. I really hope they can turn things around, I did see a Mario 3d world advert today on a kids channel earlier.

My friend got an Xbone today and he says it's pretty cool which I can believe. He got Forza and said....

 "Forza is quite good. Needs more tracks I think, and it lacks AA, so it does tend to look a bit rainbowty when you're stopped, but it's not too bad when you're driving at speed. It's insanely pretty too...though, to be honest, the cars look just as good as GT5, but the scenerey for example looks quite a bit better (GT5's scenery is very flat)."

Which I would imagine accurate also. He has a bit of a beast of PC so he wont be blown away by next gen but he does love his gadgets

Mario & Luigi U

Rayman Legends

Wind Waker HD

Wii Party (don't really like this but got it for Wiimote)

Mario Galaxy for Wii

Leaving some of the other obvious choices for Xmas presents as I have hardly scratched the surface of the games I have so far
