Re: 595: FIFA series
It's amazing how much impact FIFA has had on my life. Memories of playing FIFA on the MegaDrive with School friends, playing World Cup 98 on the PS1 with my brother and playing countless titles with my cousins in our 'Club' constantly bouncing between the middle divisions year on year. It's an inter...

Re: 562: Star Wars (1983)
I had this on the Amstrad CPC and was mesmerised by the sights and sounds of it. While it looks incredibly basic these days, it can't be underestimated how fun and kinetic the short but sweet gameplay was. I hadn't really thought about this game until I played TxK on the Vita and the vector heavy si...

Re: 572: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
In terms of game and console memories being tightly bound, KOTOR and the Xbox stands out to me as one of the most vivid. The Xbox wasn't a console I needed, as such. But being a gamer kid with no concept of saving money, and an avid Star Wars fan made this purchase inevitable. The game knocked me fo...

Re: 476 - The Last of Us Part II
If the first game was about a father coping with the loss of his daughter, it makes sense that the sequel should deal with the opposite - the loss of fathers and the after effects for those left behind. I bought this day one and luckily avoided all spoilers. I was shocked, saddened and touched by th...

Re: Our next podcast recording (30.1.21): 454 - Celeste
To me, this game is a more nuanced and meaningful 'Braid'. Where Braid uses clever gameplay mechanics to tell a story which some may deem a little problematic and quie shallow, Celeste uses quite simple (but brilliant) gameplay to tell a story which is touching, relevant and ultimately heartening.

Re: Our next podcast recording (6.5.17): Flashback
Hi Everyone, I'm a recent covert of the podcast and have signed up to the forums especially for Flashback, this game is the reason I am a gamer. I was born in the late 80’s and my first gaming memories involved the Megadrive, I remember getting the console, along with Sonic 1 and that awesome triple...
