Well the latest WoW expansion is now out. If anyone here plays and remembers the long login queues around the Wrath era then get ready to relive those memories! I started at 1667 in queue

Ah the good old days...

How's this for a game trailer:

Overwatch

It would make an awesome movie.

Pity gameplay looks average at best.

Looks great, if somewhat derivative of Team Fortress 2. I just don't have enough time to get into another online game.

But if it was a movie, I'd watch the hell out of it.

This is why I low-pop servers. No issue at all

Does anyone here play Skylanders?
I got it for my daughter, and find it surprisingly fun.

I'm getting a mental picture of dad pushing daughter out of the way and playing Skylanders for hours on end. Daughter standing beside dad with arms crossed and the 'not happy Jan' face expression.

How many times have you used that excuse huh?

Not often enough.

She is actually a decent gamer (for a 6.5 year old).

Sitting on my video game shelf unplayed are a couple of RPGs

Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XIII-2
Zelda Skyward Sword

Worth starting or should I trade/sell them?

They've been on my shelf for a long time and I don't find myself with that much gaming time lately so I'm not sure I want to start a long game like an RPG.

Haven't heard the greatest reviews of XIII (but I loved XII and put many many hours into that). And Zelda, I'm not sure I can be bothered with the Wii motion controls to be honest. I'm also not familiar with 3D Zelda as I've only played the 2D SNES and DS titles.

Got to say after Final Fantasy 10. I could only play each new one for a few minutes. Yet give me 10 or earlier (or tactics) and I'll be hooked for the month.

Trade them. FFXIII I found incredibly dull.
Skyward sword is completely lacking that Zelda feel if you ask me. I found the motion controls a pain (figuratively speaking)
