Happy Holidays! PR is probably the thing Aeria Games does the worst job at. Despite their large portfolio of games you almost never hear anything about them. Maybe the PR person was out of the office that day. Game I enjoyed the most was Aura Kingdom although have actually been playing Twin Saga. May give Bless a try and am looking forward to Laplace.

For the question of the week... well, there was Ragnaros, if a little unofficially (hehe), but seriously... for the hubby, he had been in a strategy mood so, I got him Wasteland 2 , and X-com 2 for his PS4. Also, RIFT was having a sale (that's like kryptonite for me), so on top of the toy Needler (so awesome!), and the ton of books from Half-Price Books, I also got my son a bundle that included character slots, bag slots, earring slots and all of the souls he was missing except for the most recent four. We also played together this morning (Christmas morning), and got his Druicar to level 35. Which was the 'required' level for him to make a new character. Happy, Merry Everything guys!

2016 - Warframe was the one that got my atention most of the time!
2017 - Lineage Eternal, Lost Ark, Revelation Online and a lil'something called only Mass Effect Andromeda I hope to lose at least 3 months on this last one.
Question of the Week - I got some goodies from the Warframe store and sent some gifts to my friends aswell.
Question for MMOBomb's first cast in 2017... What F2P games should we be playing that will have the tendency to, in the long run, keep us hooked or basically serve as a steady time sink while we try other things that keep disapointing us?
Happy Holidays MMOBomb!
