I'm playing Saints Row 4 on my 360. Picked it up cheap after Xmas because it had featured in a few GOTY lists. I'm a few hours in now and it's nicely silly, and goes out of its way to empower you, but I've still managed to find an early story-critical mission to get stuck on which is what I tend to hate about GTA-likes. It's probably just me being rubbish, so I'm spending time levelling weapons and abilities in the hope that I can bludgeon my way through without needing to improve too much.
On PC I started a new world on Minecraft after horsies were introduced and have just been pootling about in that for far too long. I'm still trying to understand why I play it so much - I achieve very little in the scheme of things, but it's such a nice place to be.
I've also been dabbling with Crusader Kings 2. I'm not very good at it, but it's a wonderful game. I had to take a step back from my usual approach to a game - "how do I win" and become happier playing a role. The game is about maintaining a dynasty, so if your first son is plotting to kill you it's a proper dilemma - if you're playing to win you should probably let him, because you'll become him if he manages it (and he's clearly a go-getter), but if you role play he's getting locked in the deepest darkest dungeon in the land, and the key's getting thrown away, but that screws your line of succession.

I guess I wasn't in the right frame of mind last time, didn't really get the whole WITCH TIME thing etc.. already having way more fun with it this time round!
Bayonetta is FANTASTIC. I'm not particularly good at that type of game, but Bayonetta somehow clicked. And some of the cutscenes are glorious - properly laugh out loud funny (and it's very rare for me to give a fig about a cutscene).
