Ordered a new laser lens for my PS3 the other day - probably be here this next week. I'll finally be able to start on Uncharted 3 
Fallout 4 - It's legit beyond measure. Easily one of the best in the series, if not the best. Thrilled with it (And I'm a die hard Fallout fan, and equally takes a lot to impress me as I'm critical about these kinds of games)
Black Ops 3 - They really hit it out of the park with this one.. hats off to Treyarch. Phenomenal game. Very polished and it's obvious tons of love and care went into this one in particular. By MILES best CoD since Black Ops 2 (if you're into the CoD series).

Rise of the Tombraider is utterly brilliant on XB1. I loved the reboot but this takes it up 50 notches with open hub areas packed with hidden tombs. Fantastic platform and adventuring and combat that doesn't feel like a chore (something the uncharted games as brilliant as they are, always suffered from). It's my top game for the XB1.
About 40% through right now and I agree with everything you said. Very enjoyable with some loot collecting, but not to the point it becomes tedious like in many games.
I'll have to wait a year to play the new Tomb Raider. Not a problem, as I have too many other games I have yet to even open. I'll get there eventually.
I wonder if this timed exclusivity is actually making people buy an XBone over a PS4, or if it's just making the people who already have one really happy. Was it worth the $$$ for MS?

Too many reduced price games so picked up a stack of titles on Amazon earlier that I'll likely never get around to playing ... Bless
edit ... and supplement that with a couple of titles on PSN & XBOx Marketplace that are cheap. Madness.

I finished Rise of Tomb Raider today. Considering how many games I buy and barely make it 15-20% into them, before they are put on my backlog it's testament to the quality of rise of the tombraider. It's a fantastic game.
I made it through the entire weekend without buying anything! Resisted all the sales and special offers!

Star Wars Battlefront
Ori and the Blind Forest

Looking at the EU PSN January sale. Dishonored Definitive for €15, Sniper Elite 3 for €16, Tony Hawk 5 for €25, Deus Ex HR Directors Cut for €4...
Problem is, no matter how good those deals are, they won't buy me any more free time to play games. All I would accomplish is growing the stack of games I haven't gotten around to playing yet.

I have $25 dollars to spend on the PSN. What game should I spend it on?
Current on my mind:
Borderlands Handsome Jack collection
Diablo III
or any requested suggestions

Good choices. Dragon Age Inquisition is a great game on sale now too and will last you a long while.
DeadRising 3 for $15 as an impulse buy. It's the only physical game I have for the XBO. I buy mostly digital.
I actually really enjoyed it. Yes it's flawed and doesn't look the best but I found it entertaining.
I picked up Defense Grid 2 on PSN. Already own it on PC because I backed it on Kickstarter, after having an addiction to tower defence. Never played it on PC, no idea why. But I'm playing on PS4 and Vita with remote play and it just feels better. I think I'm going to get hooked into the genre again!
Just took advantage of a buy 1 get 1 50% off sale GameStop is running on a few 3DS games.
I ordered The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D!
