January 2015 Summary

After ending 2014 in superb style, 2015 began in a similar vain with the trend of 100+ unlocks in a month continuing with a haul of 139 across my trio of platforms and aside from the goals highlighted earlier in the month, another is to play and achieve on 150 different games. This is lower than last year as despite hoping to be the 2014 records, I expect to play fewer games across the year.
