We've both started playing Stardew Valley.

I don't understand why a farming simulator is this relaxing, but who am I to argue?

Also, it's been lovely seeing Mr NAB actually enjoy a game again. He's somewhat living proof that when a fun hobby is your job (he works for Rare as a technical animator) it largely kills being able to enjoy it as a hobby.

Stardew is amazingly good. Fair warn that lategame farms CAN get stressful on Spring 1 but there are tricks to mitigate it.

Nintendo announced a whole bunch of stuff today. Shin Megami Tensei 5 going multi-platform, Ender Lillie's getting a sequel, Warren Spector's Wii exclusive Epic Mickey is getting a remake courtesy of THQN.

Age of Empires stream coming up on Fri, with announcements for AoE 2 (a "campaign-focused" expansion), plus an update of the new remake for Age of Mythology.

Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery is releasing on March 22nd.

Pretty excited for that.

Nixxes is doing God's work, porting another Sony blockbuster. This time it's the Sushi Ghost, releasing in May.

Rumours are also flying about some Gravity Rush re-release, including an eventual PC port. Here's hoping.

Also, based on Japanese retail pre-orders, the OG S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games are coming to consoles. Huh.

Xbox is doing a "partner preview" thing today. Might be something interesting there.

EDIT:

Some good stuff in here.

Sinking City 2 is gonna be doing a Kickstarter (understandable, with the war and everything).

Aside from that, we got 5 3rd person AA action-y games, and 2 of them are new IPs!. Good times for AA gaming.
