This week Brian has been up to his old tricks of buying games, but hardly playing any. He has added to his collection quite a decent little haul to keep him busy on his week off.
He has actually played a couple of games this week!
Over the weekend he was embroiled in the endless slaughter-fest that is Diablo IV But by far his highlight is getting his teeth into Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key. He has been dying to play Ryza since it was announced so keep your mince pies on the site for his review soon.

Just as Ryza approaches the gate, a strange voice echoes in her head, telling her to reach the Code of the Universe.
