We all have them, whether it be for the latest album, book or game. Mine is more related to games and includes the following, including many more:
- Sim City (released March 2013). I loved SimCity 4 and its been way too long since. Hopefully this sequel will not disappoint.
- Elder Scrolls Online. If this is in anyway like Oblivion or Skyrim, then it's on to a brilliant concept in an MMO world. I did, however, think the same of SWTOR, and as much as I tried, i couldn't continue to play it. Hopefully, this will not disappoint.
- As previously said and for reasons I don't quite understand.. Euro Truck Simulator 2!
- Anno 2070. I know it's been out for a long time now, but I have never played it and I could plow hours and hours into Anno 1404.
Everybody has wish lists, mine is a good mixture of differing elements. What's in yours?

Wish Lists..

Moving Between MMOs
MMOs are by far, my favourite genre of game, however with the abundance of different ones out there, how do you choose just one (or two).
I have played various MMOs but have never been able to stick to one in particular. The pure choice itself can be overwhelming and because there are so many, each one fights for our attention and picks at your curiosity with a new mechanic, or interesting new take (although most just work off the same general idea anyway). I have played many MMOs, including the below and many more:
- WoW
- Rift
- Allods Online
- Darkfall
- Secret World
- Guild Wars 1 and 2
- LOTRO
- Star Trek Online
- SWTOR
No one has managed to grab my attention to the fullest, and it will only be a matter of time until I move on to the next big thing. I'm a sucker for a good, or sometimes appalling MMO. Is it just me or does anybody else dart around them?

Lego Games.. What Do You Think?
Is it just me, or do Lego games simply not stack up?

I've tried my best to get into Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones, Lego Lord Of The Rings and Lego Batman but, as much as a I try, I just can't find it in me to like them. Reasons being:
- There is a certain tedium with collecting coins and all the other things in order to try and obtain 100% completion, which makes it feel more like a chore than a game.
- The campaign/story is far too short, resulting in the other 80% of the game being tasked with collecting coins and handling dreary side missions.
- Glitches! I've never encountered so many in any other type of game.
This is one of the few types of game my partner does play so I always try to get involved, it's a shame I can't like them. Is it just me?!
