It's shocking how fast Skyrim PC loads on an SSD versus on the PS3. It would take at least a minute to load, and about half that just to save a game on PS3. However, it only takes about 5 seconds on PC, and I'm not exaggerating.

ANALYST: MICROSOFT MAY WANT MOJANG TO DOUBLE DOWN ON MOBILE, NOT XBOX

I buy it. And it'll probably be the smartest gaming decision MS has made in 5 years.

Smash Bros impressions so far:  The core gameplay very much survives the transition to handheld, although when the camera pans out it does become difficult to see what exactly is going on.  And that is only from playing the one available map, which is rather small.

Smash Bros 3DS stuff that caught my attention so far:

- when the camera pans out it does become difficult to see what exactly is going on.  And that is only from playing the one available map, which is rather small.  Items tend to be hard to recognize as well.  On the other hand, all projectiles remain clearly visible.

- I like how they handled the character select and after-match stats.  Selecting your own character and CPU's is done very elegantly, as is splitting up the after match stats in different screens.

- as was the case with MK8, the character roster is rather feeble.  A lot of my personal favorites are gone, to be replaced by obscure ones (Paletuna), or just another generic sword wielder from Fire Emblem.

I played as Marth most of the time, if we were taking ourselves serious.  He's still in there, but Ganondorf, Mr.Game&Watch and Jigglypuff are all gone.  I also played as King Dedede often, but at least he's still in there.

Only one game to speak of this weekend:

Don't care about the review scores at all. This is the best FPS I've played, next to Borderlands 2. I have full faith we have only seen the tip of the iceberg!

What about you, Guardians?

I mostly played The Sims 4 this weekend. I'm almost 30 hours in, and still greatly enjoying the game.

I also played a little bit of Simcity, Minecraft PS4 and Skyrim Legendary Edition PC.

At the moment I'm playing Teslagrad.

And I've spent a fair bit of time with Rune Factory Frontier, and the Smash Bros Demo.
