Dota 2- 35%
I picked this up for just below £6 on Monday and I haven't really have a big chance to play it and get a feel for the game because I've had a lot of issues trying to get onto the servers! I guess it's because there have been lots of new players desperate to play their new game. I've tried watching guides whilst trying to join which are helpful but I still need to practise for myself. If anyone has any tips for me, please write them in the comments! I have made a few private lobbies to practise in and I'm glad I did! I now feel like I know what i'm doing and ready for a real public match.
Minecraft- 35%
Same old, dig, dig, dig. Been playing on a couple of servers with friends but I get bored of SMP these days, it's a really repetitive game, but really attractive for when I don't feel like playing anything else. Oh, I built a dirt house today!
Black Ops 2 Zombies- 15%
Becoming less addictive now that I've bought Dota, but I still love the gameplay! Everything seems really smooth like the Zombie movements, Treyarch have made a much better Zombies mode than they did in the first Black Ops.
Assassin's Creed 3- 5%
This hasn't really screamed out to me like my other games, I'm only about 5% through the game (I'm in Boston) but I feel that the game doesn't have that Assassin's Creed feel about it. Maybe it's because it is set about 3 centuries after Assassin's Creed 2, it doesn't have the same Renaissance feel about it. Perhaps later in the game it's more fun and seems more normal to me ;) Oh yeah, I don't cope well with change!
Diablo III- 10%
Since i'm really in to my Fantasy MMOs and RPGs at the moment, I've started playing Diablo III again. I've had the game since September 2012 but I didn't really get into it that much because then, this genre of game wasn't a favorite. I only recently started playing it again, and wow. I'm really enjoying it. I'm nearly halfway through act II but in one area, I keep getting killed so I sometimes give up on the game for an hour or two. That's why I've only spent about 10% of my gaming time on Diablo.
Thanks for reading.

Black Ops II DLC Leaked
The first Downloadable Content for Black Ops II has been leaked by Treyarch on a promotional poster.
The poster is entitled as 'Revolution' so It's probably safe to assume that this will be the title of the DLC. It contains four new Online maps and one Zombies map. The Multiplayer maps are called Hydro, Grind, Downhill and Mirage. The Zombies map is called Die Rise.
Also included in the pack is the Peacekeeper SMG- a new weapon. This is also the first time a weapon has been included in a Call Of Duty DLC.
A second promotional image shows Revolution to be released on Xbox 360 on Tuesday 29 January No price has yet been set. Steam users who have the Season Pass should expect the DLC to be updated into their library at the time of release.

Preview- ESO: Elder Scrolls Online
Elder Scrolls online is an upcoming MMO game developed by ZeniMax Online Studios with a release date planned for early 2013.
ESO Is part of 'The Elder Scrolls' franchise which is the first online game of the series so far. As the first announcement of the addition to the franchise was on May 3, 2012, Game Informer had revealed this in the same month's Magazine edition.
As with other games in the 'The Elder Scrolls' franchise, ESO will be set in Tamriel but a Millennium before the events of the previous game installment, 'Skyrim'.
In the game, there will be 9 races all together, spread out between the three alliances, Nord, Dunmer or Dark Elves and Argonians are part of the Ebonheart Pact alliance, these characters are all from past games so if you've ever played as one of these characters, you might have a slight advantage over opponents. Although development for ESO began 5 years before it's announcement in May 2012, It is the first project for ZeniMax Online Studios.

GTA V Screenshots
GTA Have recently released five new screenshots of the forthcoming game in Spring 2013
This time, Rockstar have shown more vehicles and possible activities that can be found in their new game coming out next year. With the pictures titled 'Happy Holidays--Enjoy', they have shown a picture of a submarine which we can expect to drive or at least complete a mission with it.
In the fourth screenshot, we see three air vehicles, a fighter jet, a possible airliner/cargo plane and a blimp. The blimp has been previously showcased in other screenshots, this must mean that we can expect to have a play around with one. In the third screenshot we see a shark below a diver which suggests marine life.
Are you ready for the release next spring? Tell me your thoughts in the comments.
