I try to get an hour of play for every dollar I spend on the game. There are obvious exceptions to this (Journey comes to mind), but this loose rule usually overpowers the hype machine and gets me to wait for a sale.

Kingdoms of Amalur Re-reckoning I really enjoyed it when I played it on 360, and was excited to give the remaster a try (once it went on sale) The story is meh and the art style is pretty ugly, but the gameplay is there and I'm really enjoying hacking through countless fantasy baddies and collectin...

I never had a PS3, but one of my good friends a few blocks down the road did, and because of that I decided to go with a 360 that gen. Not because of the game library necessarily, or because in a pinch I could play on my friend's console if needed, but because of my memories of that PS3 constantly u...

is the rice cooker that sounds like a samurai movie "Zojirushi"?

I'm trying like hell to get into Control . I've played it a handful of times, usually for 20 minutes to an hour, and I'm enjoying it so far (I've recently unlocked the dash ability) but it just hasn't "clicked" yet. I'm still trying, and I'll play some more later today. I was a big fan of ...

The new F2P online client came out everywhere yesterday, which is free to download but has an £8 or £9 premium pack, plus MTX for in-game currency and associated cosmetics. The retail SKU Super Bomberman R (which is a separate though related client and includes some single player content) is still ...

I've always leaned pretty heavily into cult and horror films, but I've really gone over the edge this past year during lockdown. Anything from the 80s, anything with killer dolls or a summer camp, the campier or more controversial the better. I'm not enjoying all of them, but I am enjoying the act o...

Not sure about the rest of the world, but right now in the US Super Bomberman R is free on Playstation, Xbox, and Switch.

Playing both Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 and the Link's Awakening remake, and I pre-ordered Super Mario 3D All-Stars . It's a big month for games that came out 20 years ago. I remembered I was about one zone short of finishing Donkey Kong Country, so got that done over what turned into a very infuria...

Yeah, the almost far too predictable flare ups have been a little concerning. My sister is getting married (again...) next Friday, but it's been on and off more times than a thing that's been on and off several times already. We're still not 100% sure if it's allowed to go ahead or not now! I've mi...

No, but I've started watching the Micheal Jordon/Bulls doc, The Last Dance, on Netflix, because apparently I'm only interested in basketball at the moment :lol: I just finished this last night. I'm surprised how much I liked it, considering I'm not really a basketball fan. I mean I like it fine, I ...

Finally saw the credits roll on Days Gone. I really enjoyed it a lot, which I still find surprising considering how bad I have zombie and post-apocalyptic fatigue. The biggest surprise is how much I liked the story. I had only heard rumblings about how long the game was when I was already 10-15 hour...

I usually don't get swept up too much in nostalgia, but it's hitting me hard when I watch videos for this game and I can't help getting excited.
Good reviews so far, too.

Jumped into the RDO update, and so far the new role seems kind of fun, if a little grindy and not too dissimilar to hunting. They seemed to have fixed a lot of the bugs people were having issues with, and there's some nice menu and quality of life improvements. But it's more RDO at the end of the da...

Finally finished Octopath Traveler. My feelings on Octopath weren't too different, maybe a bit more positive. Although it has one of my favourite soundtracks in JRPGs. Did you just finish the 8 stories or actually take on the final boss? It loosely ties some threads from the 8 stories together, tho...

JUL - Watch Dogs 2 (PS4) This has always been on my list, but never close enough to the top where I chose it over something else. But I like how you made it sound, may hit the spot for me too, so next time it's super cheap (which is often) I may pick it up. Do you have a PS4? It's currently on PS N...

Finally finished Octopath Traveler. While I enjoyed the combat and REALLY enjoyed the art style, I think that the game really dragged by the end. I finished at just under 70 hours and would have enjoyed it way more if they had chopped at least 20-25 hours off. That's mostly to do with the story (sto...

Red Dead Online , easy. I love the world and I got hooked hard into the daily challenge streaks, and played it almost every day, if only for a few minutes (but often for more than an hour or two). I only recently broke the streak, and I think it's a little strange but I don't miss it. Until they up...
