PC / Console Gaming
I haven't had a lot of time in one place so my immobile selection is a little dry this month.Diablo III - Reaper of Souls

I just got back into Diablo III and I know I'm pretty late into the game, however Blizzard has really done a great job sprucing up the place! Things seemed so foreign at first returning to the Diablo interface but it all came back quickly and all the pieces fell into place. They haven't tweaked the interface much so you won't quite forget how to play. They've also removed the dreaded auction house and revamped the armor and weapon crafting so it's actually very useful. I've also found quite a few Legendary Items which are always a delight when you pick them up.
Blizzard has done a fantastic job smoothing out the rough patches of the game and making the experience very fluid. It's simple, but yet elegant and doesn't take a huge degree of learning to start playing, even if you're completely new to the Diablo universe. If you haven't picked up the original Diablo III yet, I'd highly suggest anyone to start playing it now, since all the kinks have been smoothed out.
Mobile Gaming - Phone / DS
I've picked up quite a few games over the past few weeks on my phone and have been having a blast! The quick-fix style of gaming perfectly suits my life right now as I don't spend too much time in one place on one thing, so mobile gaming has been the leader this month.
Plague Inc.

I played this one a few years ago on my iPad and noticed it on the Android App store for free while I was waiting for my wife to get out of class. I downloaded it and noticed that a ton of features had been added.
For those of you that haven't played Plague Inc, this little game simulates the birth of a little disease with big dreams. Those dreams are to destroy human life as we know it. You get to guide this disease, evolving new was to infect and kill people until they develop a cure, or are completely destroyed.
Ndemic Creations has added a significant amount of features including some new disease types, scenarios, speed runs, and the promise of more to come. I haven't spent a ton of time in these new features, but if the regular game play is any indication, they should prove quite challenging. I fully support this developer so I unlocked the entire game to help give them some funds to continue making great games!
Plants vs. Zombies 2

PvZ2 has been out for a bit, but they continually add new content to help keep things fresh and fun! They recently released the Far Future expansion with a whole slew of new plants to defend with, but this isn't why I've been playing this week. They have been running a campaign to celebrate PvZ's fifth Birthday with a preset level to play every day with prizes at the end! I've always liked the conveyor belt style levels best so these levels really do it for me.
That's it for now. 'Till next time!
