Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I picked up Princess Peach Showtime , and you know what, it's alright. It is very easy, even more so than the recent Yoshi games (apart from the darn Cake decorating levels which are very frustrating) but I am getting a kick from something more chilled. The main highlight for me though is the boss b...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I've been playing a bit of TOCA Race Driver 3 . A game I've long heard good things about but never played before now. I have wanted to, considering it's the predecessor to Race Driver: GRID, one of my favourite racing games of all time. Turns out this one is quite impressive too. It clearly shares ...

Re: Games Completed 2024

Prince of Persia the Lost Crown Took me 26 hours and loved every second. I lost interest in the story very early on but everything else about it I really loved. The platforming and combat mechanics just felt spot on and it just felt like a top notch metroidvania to me. Special shoutout to put to th...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

Tetris Another good business docu drama. Certainly told a more interesting story than I ever anticipated. Thought it was maybe a bit long at 2 hours and not sure if some of the more crazy stuff that happened like car chases to the airport actually happened but I don’t mind a little bit of exaggerat...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

Watched Killers of the Flower Moon. I enjoyed it but ultimately thought it was too long, there were a few scenes I felt didn't really add anything or scenes which were just repeating something that had already been established. Can't criticise any of the performances of cinematography though. 3.5/5

Re: Mental Health

Sorry to hear how you're feeling Alex. Hope things improve. Out of interest, are you still using Twitter a lot as I remember having a chat with you a couple of months ago about how you were sometimes replying to posts on there which would only make you angry. I can't recommend coming off it enough. ...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

Finished up Masters of the Air on Friday. It's not normally a genre of TV I would go for but I enjoyed it. Really great acting and showed the true horrors of war that pilots encountered but there were some moments of hope and happiness in there. I thought maybe it could have been a shorter series as...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

Just saw Loves Lies Bleeding. I loved it, it was fantastic, a tense well directed grimy thriller. Great soundtrack, really atmospheric, with a fantastic cast. I can't recommend it enough. It's nice to see a good contained thriller that doesn't overstay it's welcome. It is a very horny violent movie...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I think I've come to peace with not going back to the previous Yakuza games and just see what happens with the Like a Dragon series. I am tempted by Infinite Wealth but the first game put me off a little due to the grind and difficulty spikes. Due to the voice actor issues it seems like we won't get...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

A few days ago I started Lost Judgement. I have only played Zero, Like a Dragon and Judgement in the Yakuza series and perhaps controversially, Judgement was my favourite of the 3. The detective storyline just appealed to me more than the politics of the Yakuza games. I also really like Yagami as a ...

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 ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Started a new game which was released last week for the deluxe edition but tomorrow for standard called Classified France 44. It's published by Team17 and is an XCOM like set in WW2 in the run up to D-Day. This sounds great! I'm in! Cool, it works well on a pad too. They have also already announced...

Re: Formula One

I like F1, not so much these days as its become very sterile but i will catch it if its on. I work in the industry building stuff for Mclaren & Redbull mostly so it kinda makes me proud to see our work on TV and knowing when they crash that we will have some more work coming in lol. That's real...

Re: Games Completed 2024

Donkey Kong (1994, Game Boy) I had always known this was considered one of the best original Game Boy games, but I had always wondered how it could stand shoulder to shoulder with games like Link's Awakening and Pokémon Red/Blue, even as an expanded version of the 1981 arcade game. I started the ga...

Re: Games Completed 2024

1. Super Mario Wonder 2. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League 3. Mario vs Donkey Kong (Switch) This was a fun little time. It's pretty short at around 5 hours which is really short even for a budget release and I had some frustrations with the platforming mechanics and enemy hit detection which s...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

I also finished True Detective Season 4. I didn't hate it but it was pretty average. A lot of style over substance. It didn't really feel like a detective show to me as it was more focused on it's other themes. I'll admit that I didn't see the ending coming but equally it didn't wow me.

Re: Videogame News

I'm not sure it's a big fuss over nothing - first party games going to a rival console (with more likely to come) feels like the thin end of the wedge for MS as a hardware supplier. If Xbox exclusives are going to end up on PS/Switch eventually what reason is there beyond Gamepass (which they also ...

so it seems all the speculation the past week was all a big fuss over not very much. Just shows how these rumours can get quickly out of control.
