All over the map in the limited time that I have.

College Hoops 2K7 (usually in March/April)
Fallout 4 -  time permitting
NES Classic (300 game version) - realizing that most of these games are crap from my childhood rather than nostalgia.

Just picked up Last of Us Remastered but haven't gotten into it yet.  May pick up the Nascar game if I can find it as cheap as Skitch.

Mostly Battlefield One and Battlefront.

MAME - DK, DKJr., NBA Jam, Track and Field, Hyper Sports and Mr. Do, mostly.
Wii U - Mario Kart 8, Wii Sports (with the kids)
CoinOp - SuperChexx


Still on the lookout for Addams Family Pinball and a PCB Kit for Pac Man Battle Royale (Deluxe Edition)

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

The show is by far and away the best sports simulation. Only reason I bought a ps4 over xbox.

+1000. I'm kind of glad that I'm not a big enough MLB fanatic to have a need to buy the new game every year, because the entire game is that deep. You can migrate franchises between years, which is an awesome feature for those that do. It has all of the realism and depth that Madden should have if it stopped catering to gimmick-mode fans at the expense of franchise mode. That being said, I will shell out $48 (thanks, Amazon Prime) every single f**king year

Gotta love Reddit for compiling sales across the internet.

XBOX
https://www.reddit.com/r/GreatXboxDeals/

PS4
https://www.reddit.com/r/PS4Deals/

I am an XBOX player, and I am cheep so I purchase games digitally 6-12 months after they are released. I can get the games further discounted, and sometimes Free, by redeeming Microsoft Rewards if the sale is good

https://account.microsoft.com/account/ManageMyAccount?refd=www.bing.com&destrt=rewards-dashboard

basically it forces you to use BING as a search engine, but every 3-4 months I earn enough points for a $10 gift card to use for a new game. all this is passive point earning too which is nice.

Finished up Rise of the Tomb Raider recently, it was a fun. ME: Andromeda is on sale this week, may pick it up

Is NHL good again? It was disappointing the first couple years on next gen, but was the pinnacle of X360/PS3.

It's no NHLPA '93 we played in the dorms, but YUS! Excellent game

So many of you must be familiar with this:



Quote
Sessions became associated with the phrase "Winners Don't Use Drugs", which appeared on idle North American-released arcade game screens during demos or after a player finished playing a game. By law it had to be included on all imported arcade games released in North America and continued to appear long after Sessions left office. The quote normally appeared in gold against a blue background between the FBI seal and Sessions' name.

Picked up Metal Gear Solid V on Amazon for something like $15 a few months ago. That's great. Otherwise my Xbox is used for Call of Duty, NHL and Netflix. For those not interested in buying full priced EA titles, there's a service called "EA Access" for Xbox. It's something like $30 for the year and you can download most 1 year-old sports titles and play the full version for as long as you're subscribed to the plan. You also get 10 hours of play for most current-year EA games. "Xbox Game Pass" was announced recently and it's supposed to be the Netflix for video games - $10 a month for a ~100 game library you can download from. Full downloads-no streaming-so the quality is supposed to be better.

Otherwise I've been mashing Zelda on my switch. I've never been a Zelda fan and typically get Nintendo consoles only for Mario, Mario Kart, etc. but this game is fantastic. I'm finding myself playing my Switch in handheld mode more than I thought I would--I almost exclusively play Zelda in handheld while watching a game on TV. I do throw the Switch into the dock for TV mode for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe though. That looks great too.

No ps4? Only reason you'd be rolling in that trash 2k baseball. College hoops is the best though.

see above.  I'm cheap.  still rolling with the xbox 360.
