It is hard to believe that it is already January 2016!
Another whole year of gaming awesomeness has passed! 2015
was a great year because on July 17, 2015 that is when
JPSHRACERGAMING launched. It was a quiet launch however now it is time to
launch for real. I have been tweeting on Twitter @JPSHRACERGAMING this past
year. In 2016 I want to blog using Word Press more frequently. Enough
about the technical details, let us get to the fun stuff, games! YouTube will
be a continued work in progress.
Mainly my console of choice has been Microsoft Xbox One.
The brand new releases in 2015 were The Elder Scrolls Online, Halo 5, Need For
Speed (2015), Star Wars Battlefront on Xbox One. Star Wars Battlefront quickly
became the best multiplayer and the one I keep playing. I was catching up
earning achievements with friends over Halo 3 ODST, Halo 4, Halo Combat
Evolved. I also played Kinect Adventures and Dance Central 3 for achievements
and exercise. EA Access allowed me to play games 5 days early before release
date like Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, Madden NFL 16 or Star Wars Battlefront for up
to 10 hours. I played Minecraft Xbox One edition throughout the year and
getting lost for hours at a time with friends was the best. Going back to Watch
Dogs was fun to play the hacking multiplayer. Microsoft introduced backwards
compatibility for Xbox 360 games. This means certain Xbox 360 games are
available on Xbox One. This included Mirror’s Edge which I was working on going
back for achievements. Now that most everyone is on next generation there are more
friends to play with.
Last year 2015 was the start of brand new experiences and
the return to Nintendo. It started with the Nintendo 2DS back in March.
This also meant the return to Pokemon with Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby. The
Eon Ticket which allowed you to catch both Latias and Latios in the same game
was offered as a download. This heavily influenced my decision to get both
games immediately. I also picked up Pokemon X and Y to follow the Pokemon TV
show. Then just last month in December introduced the Nintendo Wii U. The Wii U
gamepad offers the second screen experience with a tablet controller. Super
Mario Maker became a quick classic with the ability to create your own Mario
levels. Splatoon is Nintendo’s ink splattering take on a first person shooter.
Mario Kart 8, New Super Mario Bros U and Mario Party 10 are other great
exclusives.
Looking ahead 2016 should be another great gaming year!
Looking forward to all the great games! Keep reading Twitter for the absolute
up to the moment information and this blog for frequent details.
