A couple of these titles should have been held to Janauary. Gift cards and money would have been plentiful after the holidays.

Plus this Best Buy GC thing has really effected my decisions. For example Far Cry would of been a no brainer for the PC but now i can get it cheaper for the XB1 or PS4.

Please let me know how that is, reviews have been less than stellar to say the least. My daughter loves these games however.

Will do. It's for my 12 year old WWE crazed son predominantly. This is the one game he dominates me. From what I've read, gameplay wise it seems improved from a more realistic pace standpoint. Fatigue plays a pretty significant factor, which may or may not frustrate those who continually do finisher moves. Unfortunately, missing features are overshadowing this enhancement. Time will tell if these lack of features has any bearing on his enjoyment. I'm guessing no initially at least.

I'm picking up WWE 2K15 and GTA V tonight from my local Best Buy, both preordered and paid for with trade-ins.

I would like to say I'm getting WWE 2K15 for my two sons, but I want to play it, too! :) :) :)

Over shadowed by the big releases on 11/18 is the Jackbox Party Pack (You Don't Know Jack). Played the demo of Fibbage with my daughter, and embarrassingly lost but had a hilarious fun time. After much begging and pleading, my wife decided to play and absolutely loved it. Smart phones and tablets work extremely well, and for five games, it looks like a no brainer for $25. It'll make for a great party game for the upcoming holidays.

I played it on the PS4, but should be available as well on the Xbox One.

Pretty much how I feel about MS with the X1. I still can't get it to 'turn on' on command and Kinect has been meh for me including a second replacement due to sensor issues. But with the latest games, monthly updates, going Kinectless while lowering the price, they are a different console today.

Thrilled to see HBO Go on the XB1 at last. Now I can relegate the 360 to the kids' TV for good.

You have to be a current subscriber to hbo. So you would log in thru your cable / dish provider. Hbo go like netflix is coming next year.

GOT isn't for kids. Lots of sex and violence. But if you have hbo you can see them all on hbo go.

Not that I'm parent of the year but your daughter is she like 17 or older? If not I'm not sure watching GoT would be umm safe :)

I don't care how old my hypothetical daughter would be, I'm not watching GoT with her. I can't even watch Tosh.0 with my mom. Awkward as hell.

As others have said you have to have HBO to use HBO go. However, HBO announced that sometime next year they will start offering HBO go as a separate subscription for those that don't already have HBO.

Can't a 17-year old get into any movie now? Certainly get into R, which is about the same as GoT.

Which is why I asked if she was 17 or older...

My daughter 17 and watches GoT. There is no way I would sit down with her and watch it.

I let my oldest kid watch all of "Breaking Bad" and "Trailer Park Boys" at 14 and 15. She's now 16, still a 95 average Advanced Placement student and a two-sport all-league athlete.

Then again, I probably drop an F-bomb two to three times per day in front of my kids, who are 16, 13, and 9. It's called being an Irish-Catholic. Guess it's time for me to surrender my Father of the Year ballot. :)

Ok like ive said before, i played doom 3 with my then 2 year old son on my knee oohing and aahing and ive always said if he grows up to be a killer or weird then i might consider video games and my parenting a problem. my kid is an out standing citizen at the age of 19 no signs yet. :D My daughter is 16 and yeh i will watch game of thrones with her like i do walking dead and the following yeh the sex scenes are a little awkward when watching movies but its not like they aren't putting together the playground talk with the movie scenes or god forbid what they have already done.

You were that age once right?
Id be more concerned with me shouting" get em off " to every chick in GOT.
