Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I started Metal Gear Solid 4. Not too far, had my first boss fight with an octopus lady. I'm not... loving it, just yet. With MGS3, I was hooked from beginning to end. I'm sort of waiting for MGS4 to get going, there's a lot of exposition, and not the kind I usually get into with Kojima games. And, ...

Re: PS1 games and exclusives leaving PSN - Grab them while you can!

So someone clever has made a firefox plugin which accesses the legacy store and has loads of games which have been removed previously. I just bought a few PsOne classics and PSP games through this on the EU store. Its been going around Twitter so I suspect many of you know about it but still its co...

Re: Association Football (aka 'Soccer' / "The Beautiful Game")

I was trying to figure out how different it was from the dumb NFL/XFL thing over here. Didn't fully understand the "rich get richer/elite get elite-er" aspect of it!

Re: Games Completed 2021

I finished Sunset Overdrive and it's two DLC missions last night. Didn't realize I was so close to the end... The main game is a lot of fun, glad I gave it a go. Gamepass really got me playing those "I'm interested but not $20 interested" games and it's worked out for me. The DLC on the oi...

Yep, the site is down now. You have to do it all via console now or no dice.
I was annoyed to find that out the hard way, because that means my wishlist was gone!

Re: The Nintendo news and discussion thread

Has anyone played Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 ? I'm thinking of getting it for the kids, and to be honest I'm quite in the mood for a mindless, button bashing brawler with a load of Marvel characters. My 2 younger ones have recently been really enjoying the Golden Axe trilogy on Megadrive and the Ca...

Microsoft Studios is having a sale, which means I bought Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition. This might be the 4th time I've bought that game?

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I'm still playing and enjoying Sunset Overdrive. But! My Gamepass for PC subscription expired and I wasn't looking to renew it, but I wanted to finish Overdrive and it was only $5 on sale... oh, that's how Microsoft is doing this!

Re: PS1 games and exclusives leaving PSN - Grab them while you can!

I just grabbed Xenogears, Legend of Dragoon, Wild Arms 1, Parasite Eve and Mark of Kri a few days ago. I was holding back on same games that I can easily get physically, are on the PS4/5 or will probably come to the PC, but even with that, I'm itching to go back to make sure I grab these games while...

Re: Games Completed 2021

I grabbed the Panzer Dragoon Remake on sale for about $6. I did three playthroughs, died the first two, finished the game on the third. I'm almost hardpressed to say that's worth the $6, but it did give me a chance to play a game I've never played before, and that's something. Actually, it's the onl...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I think I have two weeks left of Gamepass, so I started Sunset Overdrive last night. Didn't get too far last night, but grinding, bouncing and swinging around was a lot of fun. Lots of 90s attitude that I'm in the mood for. I have Jet Set Radio on Steam, but I've never played it. Might check it out ...
