    Definitely going to get The Last of Us, GTAV, BF4 and Beyond: Two Souls on the PS3 and Watch_Dogs for the PS4.

    The new XCOM: The Bureau looks interesting, as does Assassin's Creed 4. Other games look kinda boring.
    Oh the PS4 has Watch Dogs, Destiny and Red Dead 3 (I hear) But if the XBOX has them and looks better, then I'll get that. Also the PS3 has them...
    Was considering The Last of Us, but it's horrendously overpriced.

    New xbox for me as am not a fan of the playstation. Although this could change if I can't play any of the 360 games on it.

    GTAV looks awesome! Although I do hope they change the driving again as in IV it was horrible

    remember me looks interesting

    and no doubt I shall get the new cod even though I say every year that am not going to

    Last of us, Beyond: two souls for the ps3 will probably be my only purchases until ps4

    then for ps4 it will be infamous, BF4, Knack (hope its a launch title!) and probably whatever the hell media molecule are making atm, it will be orgasmic.

    I've seen it for £59.99 . That's for a game that is, as the developers admitted, only 12 hours long. For a game to be worth it in my eyes, each £ of the price needs to equal at least an hour of play. For all my games I've enjoyed, it's worked out that way.

    that 12 hours is if you just power through the game as fast as you can, not doing little side missions and stuff like that. heavy rain was only meant to be something like 10 hours but i played that game a **** loads longer than that! GTA is like 16 hours but everyone spends a bloody lifetime on that game! the time they say isnt really relevant as everyone plays games at a different speed and to a different level of detail. 59.99 was probably a special edition or something like that

    I get bored of it dead quick as well although this one is slightly better because you have to earn all the golden weapons so I am currently trying to get them all at the moment

    I heard that the 12 hours was done by a tester who went through collecting all the collectibles, but maybe you could bump it up to about 20 if you tried.
    The £60 was a normal edition, but it was on the day of announcement so maybe the prices have gone down.
    I'll call BS on GTA4 being 16 hours though. Every time you finish a mission, a new one pops up where the old one was. Add in the commute to each (even when using a taxi/cheats) and replaying the hard levels (the ones that involve fast driving) and that's at least 30 I've spent on it, and there's no end in sight. Maybe I just suck.
    OT: Apparently Bioware are announcing something new at E3, I'll definitley consider that- It can't be DA3, so it's either a new Mass Effect or the new franchise they're working on, can't wait . And Bethesda must have something ready soon.

    Someone did it in 16 hours for sure, was on reddit ages ago, I know people who did it in like 18/19. Just so you know, the last of us is 39.34 on play.com, where as the Joel edition is 59.99, this might have been your confusion wouldn't want a price preventing you from playing an awesome game!!!

    Rome Total War 2 and Europa Universalis 3 are the only games I'm definitely going to purchase over the coming year. I'll probably end up getting the base game of Shogun 2 at some point too, though - I only have FOTS at the moment, and I fancy reliving the glory days of the original Shogun Total War.

    I'm absolutely dying to play Bioshock: Infinite. Heard so many good things and it looks fantastic. I don't have much time/money to play at the moment but once I do, it's the first one on my list.

    I want to play the new Tomb Raider, too. I know it's been out for a small while now but again, the time/money factor :/

    As for consoles, I enjoyed the PS4 reveal (despite the lack of the... PS4 reveal) and once funds are healthy, I'll probably look into getting one. I am a bit of an Xbox fan though so given the choice, I'd more than likely go with the next gen Xbox, unless it had some dreadful feature like always-online or something. Yuck.

    Amazing games (welli thought so anyways) still need to finish bioshock myself but it is really good!

    I heard that the always online was just a rumour and that the new Xbox will not always be online. If that's true or not will have to wait til the 21st may
