Re: Really great 'retro' collections

Yeah I'm interested in that Atari collection just for the sheer scale of it, even if half the games are really not worth playing these games (subjective, I know). I'm most looking forward to the upcoming Jeff Minter collection, that's going to be amazing.

Re: Formula One

I'm about halfway through season six of Drive To Survive and enjoying it as much as ever. Despite not having any real interest in the sport, it's a fascinating show. One thing that puzzles me. Hamilton was world champion for 8 years, and then Max V comes along and blows him out the water. How does t...

Re: Games Completed 2024

Dead Island 2 This one surprised me. I had no interest in the first game and only gave this a go as it was on Game Pass. I ended up playing the whole thing co-op with a few friends and had a great time. Did you play the first Dying Light game? Wondered how this compares to that. I enjoyed Dying Lig...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I got a new Evercade cartridge in the post this morning, the Tanglewood/Xeno Crisis double pack. So instead of writing a risk assessment for court like I'm supposed to be doing I obviously had a little go... Xeno Crisis is a fantastic top down twin stick shooter, developed for the Sega Megadrive (an...

Xenoblade Chronicles - on my third attempt to play this. I played around 15/20 hours on the Wii original and the same again on the Switch remaster last year. Just came back to my save and decided to start again. I really want to like this game but I just find it so confusing and complicated. It thr...

Re: 635: Yie Ar Kung-Fu

As a young child, before we had a computer of our own in the house, I'd eagerly lap up any gaming action I could get round friends houses. Yie Ar Kung-Fu was possibly the single game that made me badger and hound my parents in to buying us a gaming machine. I remember being so excited playing it at ...

Re: 622: Elden Ring

I'll preface this by saying I loved Elden Ring. It was the first game I bought day one and the first game I bought full price in several years. I have probably played about 100 hours of it and feel like I am still ages away from the end. And herein lies my only criticism of the game. I think it suff...

Re: Bruce Lee

Didn't really have enough to say to include on the pod, but my only memory of this game is a vague recollection of playing it at my cousin's house as a kid. My memories are more around the house, actually. They lived in this big country house that seemed like a mansion to us with seven bedrooms, mas...

Really great 'retro' collections

We all love video games, that's why we're here. And most of us remember fondly the games we played when we were younger, or are excited to play games from the past we might not have done before, and that's why retro collections are such big business. I have loads of these collections from the Sega M...

Re: 636: Vampire Survivors

I first heard of Vampire Survivors on the IGN podcast when Joe Skrebels spoke about it for several weeks in a row. I was intrigued, but didn't have a PC to play it on. When it finally came to Xbox I downloaded it straight away and got stuck in. I love the way the game looks, as if the sprites have b...

I've read loads of books over the last few weeks. Ducks: Two Years In The Oil Sands is Kate Beaton's autobiographical story about her time working in the Canadian oil sands.
