Monster Hunter Generations, Watch Dogs 2 and Resident Evil 7. Other than those three, the normal.
Oh, and Warhammer 40k Dawn of War. Specifically Soulstorm.

Anyone recommend a specific model of an Android tablet? I'll get my paycheck in a week, and I'll be looking to buy one then.

Anyone recommend a specific model of an Android tablet? I'll get my paycheck in a week, and I'll be looking to buy one then. Total power, most sites recommend the Pixel C, but most also rate it overpriced at $500+ US. A much better value proposition is the Nvidia Shield K1 at ~$200. For those who like Amazon, but getting Google services is a no, including play apps without some hacking... their 8HD is oft preferred at ~$90. Samsung's S series are pretty good, the S3 should be out soonish I think. The latest Huawei Media Pad is alright, especially if you're interested in LTE. Asus' lastest is also pretty good. Find the features to price of those for the most reliably recommended, Otherwise Amazon for instance has a surprising number of off names for cheap, $100-200, with decent 4-5 star reviews. Edit: Sony's Z4s etc. are also well liked by many, waterproof to boot... Also, that doesn't get into large tablets, greater that 10.5in. screens...

Thank you, wascalwywabbit . I don't really need a super high-powered tablet, so not going for Pixel C. Also not going back to an Amazon tablet, because they lack Google Play. I'll look up details on Nvidia, Huawei, Asus, Samsung, and Sony tablets. Edit: I looked up details and I'm leaning towards either the Nvidia K 1 or Asus S 8. Edit 2: I've decided to go for Nvidia Shield K1.

Been playing Rocket League for a while now. Usually 3v3 and 2v2.
If anyone wants to play together, I'm Gold Elite/III.

Shield is a no no for gaming, most of it's games are playable better on highend phones with root and some tools installed

strategoYou know of high end phones with tablet size screens for $200 US off contract new? Some may approach that in China, yes, but still not quite the same... Just because the shield has "exclusive" games you can hack to play on a, usually more expensive, phone with somewhat more up to date internals, does not mean the screen size or sound quality match. Nor does it mean that someone looking for a 'tablet' wants immediately to buy a high end phone and start modding - if they already have a high end AND want the Shield exclusives AND don't mind the smaller screen AND don't mind rooting and modding, that's different... Plus they're moving somewhat from Amazon to Google Play as stated above... The Shield tablet is recommended as a general use Android tablet for not too much money by many reviews and at least one forumite not counting it's exclusives. As I said, there are many others with different feature sets and prices, both name brand and off brand, and everyone needs to choose for their own uses. Not everything needs to be a nail for the modders hammer...

Sorry I'm not in US market, can't say much about mobile technology prices there, but Huawei tablets has very good audio drives with nice audio quality, and their other specifications doesn't suck ice either, I had a mediapad 10+ which had 16core gpu, and nice cpu never got a lag on demanding properly adjusted games on max graphics, I bet newest tablets can do even better. Also don't buy lenovo it's just not worth time and effort to spend on fixing them every few weeks

Thanks for the advice, stratego , but I'm not interested in putting in the time investment required for learning how to mod Android devices.

Lately I've been playing a lot of Horus Heresy Drop Assault, its basically a 40k clone of Clash of Clans but...I'm a sucker for Warhammer. Just waiting on the Space Hulk Deathwing port to PS4 and for Mass Effect Andromeda. But more excited for ST2.

Yesterday I bought Naruto Shippuden ultimate ninja storm 3 full burst. There are two funny things about my gameplay though...
1. I play on keyboard 2. I can't understand why everyone says it's hell... It's perfectly playable once you set the controls right.

In the meantime, the game I've been playing most has been Skyrim on the Xbox 360. Just found out Lydia has different combat dialogue in Solstheim (the Dragonborn DLC island).
