Finally bit the bullet and purchased some DLC for Mass Effect 2. Seeing as Bioware/EA apparently don't believe in DLC price drops I'm never going to get it any cheaper, so may as well get it now so I can get the most out of my current run of the series. Skipping on the Overlord pack though for no other reason than it costs 560 bioware points but I'd have to buy 800 in order to get it, which after purchase would leave me with 320 wasted points that right now I don't think I'd ever have anything to use them on.

'Playing some Borderlands lately. Got the GotY Edition so get to play all the nice DLC. Never got around to "destroying" this game when I had it for the 360. Gonna be rectifying that.

Reinstalled Morrowind after some time without it, fully loaded with graphics mods to bring it more into this decade. Obviously doesn't look as good as my modded Skyrim, but for a 13 year old game it looks great.
 Now I just need to get Oblivion up and running in a playable manner. Despite being able to run heavily modded Skyrim with only a few rare crashes Oblivion is lagging every few seconds on my current install. Funny thing is I haven't installed any mods I didn't use before when my system had less powerful hardware and I had it up and running with graphics mods pretty damn good before having to do a full system reset but now I've changed from 4GB RAM/2GB GPU (might have even been my previous 1GB SLI GPU's) to 8GB RAM/4GB GPU it runs atrociously. Mind you Oblivion stability was always more problematic for me than Morrowind. Might even just clean install and then install Nehrim over the top, it's a better game IMO. Outside of Elder Scrolls I also started up Mass Effect again. I'm trying to go pure Paragon on this save. I also tried for the second time the demo of The Evil Within but also for the second time I've uninstalled it and have now decided not to bother. I never got past the second chapter in the demo but it hadn't hooked me plot wise by that point (quite confusing really) and the controls feel rather clunky on PC to me. I probably could have plugged in my 360 controller for Windows but in past experience any game that involves shooting is ridiculously hard to control with a controller after using keyboard and mouse; either that or the game in question just switches on aiming assist of its own accord which is completely unnecessary if you're using K&M. Glad I never bought this one.

I tend to find at least a decent amount of new games every year, though admittedly 2014 was one of my weaker gaming years in recent memory, mostly focused on finishing games from previous years, or playing cheap indie games. I honestly only got Dying Light because it was the first non episodic game released this year that looked even somewhat interesting, so obviously I'm glad it ended up being much better than I expected. I have two games coming out within a week of each other next month, both of which will probably last me quite a while.
The first episode of Resident Evil Revelations 2 was solid, but not quite as good as I was hoping. The first half of the story mode was a bit underwhelming, though the second portion of it was quite a bit better. Surprisingly, I'm enjoying the raid mode more than the actual story so far, which certainly didn't happen with the first game.

I expect I'll pick up Dying Light at some point. It's one of the few recent or upcoming games I actually seem to be interested in. Having played and loved quite a few titles from the 2012 - 2013 period there hasn't seemed too much to be of interest to me from 2014 - 2015 so far. I have a few titles from last year I still intend to pick up such as Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and Far Cry 4 but aside from The Witcher 3 I can't say too much about 2015 has excited me yet.

Finished Dying Light. I've heard of people being disappointed by the final mission, but I thought it was great. I've played better first-person games overall (the Bioshocks have better stories, for example) but as someone who prefer third-person normally, I think from a gameplay perspective this is the most addictive first-person game I've ever played, even more so than the Borderland games (though again, they're better overall because they're just so damn funny.)

Damn, I didn't realise it was such a short game. I think I will get Dying Light soon, I have a few old PS3 games to trade in since they don't work with PS4.

^^I've heard of it, I'll need to take a closer look at it, sounded interesting.
I just bought Besiege today, a medieval physics-type game. Has a good amount of planning and thinking involved for what exactly you're going to want to construct. Been having fun with it so far, it's still being updated so more levels will come later.

^Apparently it takes 5-6 hours, so that should be easy to get through. I was considering getting it, but between the length and the fact that it apparently has a rushed ending meant to pump a sequel, I decided to hold off for now until it goes on sale for around $30. I think I'll like the game, but everything I've read about it suggests that if I were to buy it now I'd feel a bit let down, where if I wait for the price to go down I'll probably be more satisfied with it.
I'll be finishing up Dying Light soon. It's been a really fun open world zombie game so far, much better than Dead Island. The platforming is surprisingly fun most of the time and before I got good enough weapons I was mostly running away from zombies, but at the point I'm at now the combat has become a lot of fun. I really didn't expect much out of it, but it's been surprisingly very good. Tomorrow I get to play the first episode of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, and I'll likely do a bit of raid mode as well, so that should be fun. Between that, buying the newest Sherlock Holmes game from a PSN sale and buying an intriguing indie game called Hand of Fate, I have ton of stuff to play for now.

Currently playing 1886 The Order on PS4. Seems pretty good so far. I'm not a huge gamer and I lose interest quickly but this looks like I might get a fair way through it before my elsdest son finishes it for me :)

I have that problem with Skyrim. :P
Today's antics in the game included losing my horse to a passing sabre cat, misplacing the replacement horse before the battle for Whiterun and getting reported for murder by a bear. Also I took several arrows to the knee so I guess my adventuring days are well and truly over...at least until tomorrow.

I'm towards the end of my current Bioshock Infinite run. Don't think I'll play Burial at Sea afterwards this time. I enjoy the DLC's but usually stop before the end of part 2. I honestly find the ending so deflating that every time I get close to it I'm like 'I don't need to sit through this shit again'.
The game that has most of my attention right now though is Skyrim again. Got a relatively stable install (a few teething problems still to sort out), modded with ENB, and it looks gorgeous.   I've also been playing a bit of Tomb Raider (2013) and Velvet Assassin.

Aside from the Millennium series (which I mostly play on my lower power laptop) I've got back into several favourites from the past few years. Especially been playing a lot of Dishonored. I finally managed to complete my Shadow/Ghost run on the main game and The Knife of Dunwall in the last week and am currently going for the same on The Brigmore Witches.
Aside from that I've been playing a bit of Bioshock Infinite, The Witcher 2, Fallout: New Vegas and Skyrim, which I've just remodded fully to try out this ENB thing. It looks good but a bit too intensive on my rig to be stable (though I have a GTX 970 on order so hI won't be changing my install just yet). And I'm on episode 3 of The Walking Dead.
