    The 4 hour rental is bad & all tiers for a half dozen or so of the "newer" games are insane, but the majority of titles' 3 longer rental periods are reasonable. It's untenable longterm without the Netflix-type subscription; in the meantime, however, I'm enjoying the novelty.

      Forza Horizon 2

      This time it's a eurotrip. You start in Italy and France as they take you thru getting your wristband and learning features.

      Same airplane vs car race fairly early on as well.

      Menus kind of feel like Windows 8 tiles, much like the XB1 interface.

      Forza Hub is separate app you can install to maintain all your info over all Forza games and the rewards system.

      New is the cross country races where you drive thru fields and other terrain. Anything goes as long as you pass thru the checkpoints.

      Game looks great visually of course.

      No AI racers. It's all driveatars. Rivals return as well.

      Level and skill system using separate xp to level each up. Also unlocks permanently active perks.

      Xp and discount billboards to smash also return.

      Bucket list feature is fun. Get in a car that you find parked. Act on whatever challenge it offers. First one was to drive a Koenigsegg like you stole it. Meaning get to the goal before the timer expires.

        I had zero interest in the new LOTR game, but it apparently has a cool death mechanic.

        If an enemy Orc kills you it gets promoted and separate from what you're doing can kill it's competing Orcs to gain power.

        You may meet that orc several times over your campaign as he becomes a sort of rival.

        So no two players will have the same experience. Kind of cool.

        ---------------

        PS Vita update will allow you to use custom icons now instead of just a background image. PS4 still has to wait!

          Welp, I got myself a PS4 finally. Played Infamous: Second Son last night, very fun game but I've been a big fan of Infamous so YMMV. It's especially fun having lived in the Seattle area before. Gonna try Destiny soon here.

            For Destiny the story is a 20 level tutorial basically. So stay focused and beat the game right away. Once it's over and you're 20 the game begins.

              Is it as bad as FFXIII's tutorial?

              I'll get to it but I'm having fun with Infamous. I've forgotten how much those games are.

                And, it seems, they've made them even more fun! The new powers are a hoot, I'm loving the neon stuff!

                  If you like Alien, grab isolation, absolutely fantastic so far. Five Nights at Freddy's has nothing on this.

                        I like the changes thus far. I've got most things already, but it looks like it should be more efficient for any new players out there.

                          Pre-ordered my digital deluxe copy of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (PS3) for next week's release.

                          Puts me close to the Sony promo of spend 100 and get 15 back.

                            In Tapped Out, they added more land to purchase, so I did because I was running low on land and it only cost around $10MM to get it all.

                              I think this came with the Clash of Castles (or whatever it was called) update.

                                Okay. I didn't try to buy any land then, the idea only occurred to me to even try this time because of the pure MB size of this update.
