The funny thing Jay is that your thoughts about Detroit are exactly how I felt about Heavy Rain first time through. I didn’t like Detroit as much even though it’s far superior I liked its janky plothole ridden predecessor.

Well, I suppose there's no accounting for taste!

What? I've already endured that particular hairshirt of a title, you'd know this if you'd listened to the podcast we did on it back in volume 5

I finished my first playthrough last night and whilst the ending I had felt a little abrupt, overall, I have to say I quite enjoyed the experience. In point of fact, it's the first QD game that I actually want to play through again just to see how the different decisions play out. I did think that t...

Yeah, I've adjusted that post so as to not give anything away

Here's where you can contribute your memories and opinions of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain for potential inclusion in the forthcoming podcast.

Yeah, I bought that a while back mostly because of that soundtrack, I like the art style too, but it was how often I listen to the soundtrack that incentivized me to pick it up (haven't played it yet though).

Yeah, it's definitely presented more slickly than any of the previous QD titles and I like the way it flicks between each of the protagonist's stories quite briskly so that none feel like they're overstaying their welcome.

As well as the original 1981 coin-op, its many vari...

Decided to start playing this since I got a copy as a joke from my better half back in November and I've been wanting to give it a playthrough at least once. Perhaps surprisingly, I'm actually enjoying it! Sure, it's as obvious as you'd expect with its heavy-handed manipulations but so far, (about 3...

I really love that SteamWorld Heist track!

Did you know that the Egyptians built their calendar around the Nile River? They divided their calendar up into three seasons. Akhet, or inundation, was considered the first season and was the time of the flooding of the Nile. The other two seasons were Peret, the growing season, and Shemu, the harv...
