Re: 473 - Sonic the Hedgehog
My family owned an Acorn Electron and Atari 2600, which I have vague memories of, but they never felt like my first console experience. For me, gaming really began when my parents helped me plug a Master System 2 into our shoddy little 'portable' CRT TV on the kitchen table, and I saw that Sega logo...

Re: 477 - SEGA Rally Championship 1995
I dread to think how much money I put into the arcade version of this game on Southend seafront. I never got any good at it, but just adored the feeling of sliding my car around on that machine. The seat felt like being in a real rally car, the pedals gave good feedback and the gear stick was highly...

Re: 466 - Streets of Rage 4
Streets of Rage 4 was far and away my favourite game of 2020. I had long hoped for a new entry in the series but never expected to be this rich. The art style seemed divisive, but I thought it felt fresh and in keeping with the drawings and box art from the era. And I personally was pleased to see s...

Re: 465 - Mario Kart Wii
As a balanced game or single player experience, I can tell Mario Kart Wii is a bit of a hot mess. Especially after putting dozens of hours into Mario Kart 8. But as the first ever Mario Kart game I owned, it has a huge soft spot in my life. The Wii was my first proper Nintendo console, and many of m...

January 15th - Spiderman (PS4) January 17th - Labo VR goggles and camera (Switch) Couple of updates... March 19th - Labo VR blaster (Switch) Really cool build. Very satisfying to lock and load, like a pump shotgun. Or at least what I presume a pump shotgun locks and loads like. Can see it lasting a ...

Re: Games Completed 2021
January 15th - Spiderman (PS4) January 17th - Labo VR goggles and camera (Switch) Had a ton of fun with this. The VR effect is blurry as hell due to the relatively low res Switch screen and long periods of play would make you feel sick, but I'm guessing that's precisely why the games that come with ...

Re: Games Completed 2021
January 11th - Spiderman (PS4) Fell just short of platinuming it, but very much enjoyed this on the whole. The story was really good, the intro training chapter was one of the best implemented I’ve seen and it looks incredible. Animation, city, combat, lighting… All phenomenal. Suffered from a LOT o...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?
After finishing off Master Quest I'm carrying on with the Zelda replays with Skyward Sword . I've always liked this one, despite it being lower down my list of favourites. But playing it again, a lot of the issues don't feel as grating. Even though it is extremely linear, the stuff you actually do ...

Re: The videogame music thread (also Sound of Play submissions)
My daughter and I are having a great time blasting through the co-op indie adventure 'Knights and bikes'. It feels like a wonderfully stylish kids book brought to life with deft humour and original energy. I'm only 5 chapters in but also sense it'll have that miraculous Pixar-trait of working on a d...

Re: Games Completed 2020
I don't have an Xbox alas and I can't see myself playing any of the Star Wars games tons online really, partly as I don't play online much and largely because when I do, its always Titanfall 2 / Splatoon 2 if solo, GTAV / RLeague with friends. So I'd only be after any of the 3 PS4 games mentioned in...

Re: Demon's Souls
The visuals play their part but given I’d seen a lot of footage I knew what to expect. It’s the combination of controller feedback and 3D audio which makes it incredible. You feel it when your sword bounces off a shield or when you do the perfect parry. The 3D audio made it seem like things were In...

Re: Game suggestions for the podcast
I don't think Titanfall 2 has been covered yet from a scan of the previous shows, rather just the original.
If it's not on the list, would love an episode considering that, especially the multiplayer.
Thanks!

Re: Demon's Souls
Wow, big praise.
I'm now very jealous and feeling foolish for buying a PS4 only 3 months ago!
What is it that feels so next gen? Purely the visuals and frame rate?

Re: Games Completed 2020
I really want to play Hades given everything I've heard about it, but the only thing preventing me is that I'm yet to play a roguelike I have enjoyed. So I'm hoping it'll come to Xbox and Game Pass next year, but if not I will pick it up on Switch when it's on sale. I'm no fan of roguelikes either,...

Re: Games Completed 2020
I mostly agree with what you said on the game, I must say though that I thought the very final scene was one of my favorites in gaming. I definitely think I've laid into the stuff I didn't like about it more than celebrated the things I did love. Didn't want to call them out here as they would be s...
