Super Mario 3D Land. Maybe Assassins Creed 4.

Hopefully that's it....my backlog makes me cry. I just picked up Batman Origins.

I'm too impulsive to think that far ahead.

Watch Dogs, DKC: Tropical Freeze, Wonderful 101, Dragon's Crown.  I'll probably pick up Link Between Worlds and Super Mario 3-D World on my own before Christmas.

Same ones here with the possible addition of Rayman Legends and maybe (but probably not) pokemon y.  Have Mario and Zelda pre-ordered.  Will get W101, DC and RL when they get down to half-price..  These will be not just christmas games but the only games I see me picking up until more must have U games come much later in 2014

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu

So my list is this:

  • Mario 3D World
  • Assasins Creed 4 (Jesus)
  • Zelda a Link Between Worlds
  • Splinter Cell Blacklist
  • Wonderful 101
  • Marvel Lego Heroes

3D world is the only  cert, ALBW can wait till next year maybe. So probably AC4 or Blacklist and maybe even Lego.

Hobo pickups next year:

  • Batman Origins
  • BLOPS 2 (yeah, that oldie)
  • Lego Batman 2

Recently picked up a fuckton of new 360 games so I'm no buying anything new for a while on that. Still haven't played Skyrim indecision

Oh I might have to add Marvel Heroes to my list as well. I think I'm going to have my Lego fill for the year with Lego City Undercover (funny game and fun at times, but kind of boring). Maybe Batman Origins if it goes hobo quickly enough.

How are you playing it? I find you have to switch between open world and campaign otherwise too long doing one thing will get old. I tend to explore till bored then do a mission.

I'm mainly focusing on the missions right now (I just delivered the T-Rex). I did a lot of exploring for a while, but now I just want to hurry up and finish the game. It's good, and pretty funny at times, but it's also been a good reminder of why I generally haven't played the Lego games that much.

It picks up in the latter missions. After that's done try exploring the open world, it's stacked with collectables. The U gamepad becomes pretty essential to getting everything with the scanner and map. If you click the (i) on the map touchscreen it gives you info on what you have or are missing in each section of the map.

I'm not in the latter missions yet? Yikes? Oh well good to know I guess. If nothing else my kid loves the game. I think this is the game along with Duck Tales pretty much offiicially makes him a gamer. Prior to this he was into the Wii Sports, Wii Music, and mini-game collections. But he's eaten up Lego City Undercover. The responsible parent in me is like, "oh jesus he's getting into video games. STOP HIM NOW!", but the gamer in me couldn't be happier.

I think you're about halfway through the campaign but you should check the lobby of the police station it shows how long you've played compared to how much of the game you've uncovered.
