Re: Our next-but-one podcast recording (29.6.16): Plants vs. Zombies

Does anyone know what I lose out by playing the free iphone version. It's the only version I'll have access to but don't want to comment if it's not sufficiently definitive if you know what I mean. Think it just replaced the original game with an ad supported version didn't it? I expect there's som...

Re: Videogame Deals

Don't Starve is currently 79p on iOS. Pretty well suited to iPad play if you own one.

Thanks for that. If it's enjoyable chaos I might just get on it!

Re: What's Out This Week?

Not much this week but i'm sure they'll be at least a couple of instant launches during E3 this weekend. Anyone taken the plunge on Trials of the Blood Dragon yet? There's a couple of reviews out but they're poles apart so I'm still on the fence. Really enjoyed playing Trials Fusion again over the ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Had a bit of a gaming lull recently, which might explain my lack of activity here... Been trying to get the most out of some multiplayer stuff before I move to the middle of nowhere and satellite broadband lag means no more Call of Duty, Destiny or Star Wars Battlefront. Have really got hooked on Tr...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

As recommended here previously, I decided to play Until Dawn a chapter or two per week at a time, and have now finished it. I found the first part of the story pretty telegraphed, and the second a bit ridiculous, but haven't played a game so persistently unsettling before. I finished PT and found th...

Re: What's Out This Week?

I know I'm probably the only one excited about playing these on yet another console, but here's the games you can unlock via the Lego Dimensions Midway level pack: Spyhunter, Blasteroids, Championship Sprint, Defender, Defender II, Gauntlet, Gauntlet II, Joust, Joust 2, Marble Madness, Paperboy, Ram...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I've done exactly the same! Thought I was crap at it for a couple of hours, then realised it is just hard. Broforce wasn't the game I voted for on PS+ last month but I'm liking that too. Also gets hard pretty quick. Still slowly working through Until Dawn, and jumping in and out of Star Wars Battlef...

Wow. What I would have given for a Lego Spyhunter car when I was young! Not sure how it works, but this level features 20 Midway classics - Supersprint, Gauntlet, etc. My little boy definitely needs to find out though!

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Currently playing Rocket League. What the hell? This game is fun! Never thought I'd enjoy it as much as I do. It's really easy to learn at first but offers surprisingly deep gameplay once you try to get better. Rocket League is still a go-to game when I've got a few minutes to spare. Great fun, and...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

That makes sense. Definitely feels compromised in some way. And like macstat says, those loading times take me back to my ZX Spectrum! Moved into Until Dawn tonight. Was very tempted to play right through but it's a school night! I really love it do far. Far more unsettling than any cabin in the woo...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

My brother lent me his copy of Just Cause 3. I was surprised he offered because he'd not had it long, and played Just Cause 2 to death. I played a good few hours too, so I'm wondering why after 6 hours on the new one, I feel I'm done with it too? It's never been about the story, but having done a fe...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I'm sure I'll finish it, but I really hope the game settles on a tone for the final half. I enjoyed the second half a lot more than the first, though my brain had well and truly switched off by then and I was just shooting stuff. On a similar theme, I had my ass handed to me in my first few games o...

Re: Videogame Deals

I just picked up Black Ops 3 on PS4 for £20 on Amazon, on the basis I'll be able to get a good few hours enjoyment out of it before selling it for the same again on eBay. Also noticed Dishonoured Definitive Edition on there for £9.99. You have no idea the smile that your spelling of Dishonored [sic...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I'm dabbling at the moment before I dive into The Witcher 3. Some Mortal Kombat X story mode, which is a bit too story-heavy but it gives you a nice taste of different characters when you do eventually get to use them. I love the two new Star Wars tables on Zen Pinball 2 - both really pacey with ple...

Re: iOS and Android gaming

Downwell has been my go-to iOS game since my iPad got hit by the incurable Gamecenter glitch and I abandoned Shooty Skies and Pac-Man 256 as a result. I didn't get on with the controls on iPhone but switching to iPad made a big difference for me. It is punishing, but I've found that since I started ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Grim Fandango is a game that's always interested me but I was never going to buy for the same puzzle vs patience reasons I've never got a Silent Hill game. When it arrived on PS+, I thought I'd at least load it up. I played for a bit and really liked the setup and where the story was going, so decid...
