Would you Adam and Eve it? People have been playing as much Fallout 4 as they possibly can since its release on Tuesday. Of course, Dave had quite a bit of a head start, as the staffer tasked with reviewing the game, but he also found time to complete and review Rise of the Tomb Raider, has been playing Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros. for a preview, and returned to Jet Set Radio Future on his Xbox 360, which he says is in desperate need of a remake.
Mark’s another one who’s been stepping out into the sunlight, loving the first few hours of Fallout 4 an thoroughly enjoying the crafting system and building up his Sanctuary. Between that and Tomb Raider, he’s set for gaming until the end of the year. Miguel has also been juggling Fallout 4 playtime with Danganronpa which, while he loves a bit of Danganronpa, is a little on the long side of things.
Jim’s once again been playing an awful lot of games. Yes, there was an early introduction to the world of Fallout 4, but he’s largely spent his time with The Witcher 3, as well as reviewing Rodea the Sky Soldier, FORCED, Poncho and The Room Three, with only the latter really doing enough to impress him. Finally, he conquered Kyrat in Far Cry 4, and you can expect to hear a little something about Blizzard’s Overwatch in the not too distant future.
Dom’s actually the only respondent not to have been playing Fallout 4, but has instead spent time speeding through Need for Speed for our review earlier this week – he seemed to enjoy it a lot more than the commenters did. You can also get his impressions from the first few hours of Xenoblade Chronicles X on Wii U, and read about the wonderful homage that is the Doctor Who level pack for Lego Dimensions.
Last but not least, I’ve had a mixed up week of gaming. Black Ops 3 featured over the weekend, as I dove into the multiplayer and levelled up to unlock a particular specialist. There was also a spot of co-op campaign, which once again revealed just how easily co-op can dismantle and deconstruct the work done when trying to tell a story.
BlizzCon also inspired me to open up Battle.net and see if the Overwatch beta had been added to my account – it hadn’t – and finally try out Hearthstone, which was really good until you come up against opponents with decks and card that are much better than my own. And I’ve also been playing StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void and Telltale’s adventure games, more of which you’ll hear next week.
And now it’s over to you. What have you been playing? What trophies have you earnt? How many hours of Fallout 4 have you already managed?

Picked up a copy of Blackops3 last weekend so have been playing that throughout the week.
Like BLOPS2, the Zombies mode is mince and overly complicated but the PvP modes are a lot of fun and I can see myself playing them for a long time.
Been having some Fallout4 envy since Tuesday however and sort of wish I’d held off getting BLOPS3 yet over FO4. Keeping an eye out for a cheap Steam key over the coming weeks.

Not had time for a heck of a lot really but made headway into the DriveClub Bikes update also just installed The Nathan Drake Collection via redemption code at knock down price thanks to Avenger with his canny purchasing advise…just tested it so far but not played it in a serious gaming modus.
Otherwise, just titted around on the ipad during work lulls ;)

Apologies for the double posting but I’ve now completed the main story of fallout 4. To be honest I found the story disappointingly underwhelming.
Have now started again with a more skill based build.
