Today I started Doom, and... WOW. It's so cool. I love how fast it moves, and you don't have to reload.

Minecraft , awful. It just really doesn't appeal to me at all
Peggle - boy does this get old fast. I only like how levels end. No wonder Price is Right doesn't run Plinko each week. That shit gets old.
Far Cry 4 - this was my first of these games and I really like the feel of it. Graphics aren't great but the stealth mixed with predators is really fun. And this might be one of the best villains I've ever seen in a video game. I love his scenes. When he catches a prisoner texting under the table and raises the smartphone in the air, "have we stopped looking for these things?! " love him

For E3, they released a bunch of free games and trials. The best of the free games was LIMBO since the sequel is coming up. I loved this game the first time through so I'm happy to play through it again, i'm surprised at how much I'm dying. also, i think this will be the first fun thing to do over Twitch that I've tried so far: I think after I finish it, I'm going to try to get through the game losing less than 5 lives to get that achievement again. I think it'll be super funny to watch over Twitch since it's so frustrating and scary. I'll be sure to announce it here in case anyone wants to watch that.

They're pretty awesome in the game. My go to team is a bunch of Dark Reapers and Fire Dragons, led by a Farseer attached to a squad of Banshees or Seer Council. I played on easy setting so they kind of destroyed everything.
But the best part is the Eldar's webway gate. Anyone who's played any kind of RTS campaign would probably agree with me that the most annoying about RTS is when you have to defend several positions on the map. You have a strike team which probably eat the most of your supplies, and have to defend those positions with your second line units. Eldar however, owns this nifty thing called webway gate which allows you to "store" a group of units in the warp and spawn them on any webway gate with a single click. There's two second delay when a unit enters it, but that's so negligible. So I just put these gates around important stuffs and just made a single defensive force (bind with a single keystroke) comprised of several squads. The webway gate also heals nearby unit (and even allows other buildings to be telported to them).

They announced all the DLC and it's heartbreaking. Six products, only two of which are actual new plot. The rest are geegaws for the settlement construction crap. Did you buy Fallout 4 but wish you'd bought Minecraft? Then I guess it's good news for you. I have zero interest in that stuff. It's not what I go to Fallout for and I don't go elsewhere for it either. It seems like Bethesda is uninterested in its own game.

I loved Dawn of War. It helped that I was already a hardcore 40K player, but the adaptation of units, both abilities and artwork, made it such a great transition that it's still probably my favorite RTS ever. Also because it finally did away with the "mining line" approach and gave you resources for actually advancing on the map. I tried to play SC2 after years of DoW and I just couldn't do it. I'm lost to RTS with worker lines now.
I really enjoyed the Eldar, too, although my favorite were my two favorite armies from 40K that both appeared in Soulstorm: the Dark Eldar and the Sisters (Purge the infidel!) That said, when I think of DoW, I always remember the tagline quotes of the Assault Marines ("Death from above!") and the Termies ("Terminators ready!") Plus Priest-led Guardsmen...

And just in time for the steam summer sale. Time to spend some more money.

Really enjoying The Crew. Total open world driving. I drove from Detroit to NYC last night with a friend in Australia, and it was good fun. I was smashing into him in and around the streets of NY and was amazed that there was no connection issues with someone on the other side of the world.
Overwatch is going to take some getting used to. Won my first two games as Tjorborn but there's a lot going on in that game. The cheevos look to be a nightmare

Pillars of Eternity - haven't checked it out yet, but I'm sure it's a huge time sink if it pulls me in
Darkest Dungeon - this seems really cool. Still early
Super Hot - a neat puzzle game disguised as a FPS. Very short levels so you can play for a brief amount of time
The Witness - have not examined this one yet
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - not checked it out yet

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is fantastic. I played it spread out over months.
