Back after working manically for the last 2 weekends ! Time for long, quality gaming sessions ! Could only be ES IV Oblivion on XBX and it's amazing- understandably buggy though, bring on those patches Also thinking about starting Clar Obscura time allowing. Not a popular opinion here but XBX gamepass is killing it right now - I've Oblivion , South of MidnightAtomfallAvowedBorderlands3 and Ninja Gaiden Black all on the GP backburner....my PS5 will be feeling unloved soon 😀 Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@Czar_Khastik ...totally agree. My 5 yr old daughter loves the old Xbox Manhunt games - she takes great joy in finding original ways to pulverise heads in or suffocate them with plastic bags 😉
@MrPeanutbutterz ...its a shame, you should really give it a try one day. The gameplay is very engaging, particularly the 1st person combat, with melee and a whip, just like in the movies. The puzzles are superb too. Just don't go into it expecting another Uncharted or Tomb Raider, it's more akin to the Indy films
@OldGamer999 ...Sony were such an electronics powerhouse back in the day, before refocusing on PlayStation. I think the Sony Xperia phones are the best on the market but being obliterated by Apple and Samsung
@Meowmixes98 ...this is Nintendo.it will NEVER go on sale. Mario Kart 8 is still full price after all these years and still selling in the millions. Even pre owned copies are not much cheaper. MK World will do the same
@Judal27 ...yeah I have all the Remastered Xenoblade games on Switch sat in my backlog ! Pining for the day I can get around to committing the time for them and this
Atomfall on GamePass. Not impressed so far, it's a poor man's STALKER but nowhere near as good. No sense of dread, enemy types are the same, no atmosphere, unlike the brilliant STALKER 2 Also dabbling in Forza Motorsport and AC Shadows which is superb so far Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
Assassins Creed Shadows for me - a 1000% improvement on the yawn inducing Valhalla. Superb setting
Will be blitzing Tekken 8 with FF16's Clive who is so overpowered it's guaranteed wins in online ranked matches 😉
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@get2sammyb ...Robocop is ok - it plays like a typical PC 00's style FPS, even with the typical atrocious voice acting lol. It's the epitome of an enjoyable 6/10 game
Space Marine 2...finished the excellent campaign and now onto the co op online operations mode and multiplayer. A great game More of the superb Avowed on XBX a typically great Obsidian RPG - it's literally The Outer Worlds in a fantasy setting Have a great weekend guys and gals
Not just a contender - was my GOTY last year. Troy Baker did a phenomenal job as Indy. The puzzles are fantastic and it replicates the feel of an Indy Jones film perfectly. It's nothing like Uncharted though, it's not an action game, but there's plenty in it. Superb
Such a great gaming history Monolith had, some fantastic PC games - Alien V Predator 2, the No One Lives Forever games, Tron 2.0, FEAR 1 & 2, the Condemned games. A very talented studio. Such a shame
@EfYI ...kind of yeah - in the sense that they are very hardcore, won't hold your hand in any whatsoever with a huge open world that you're free to explore as you wish and challenging combat. They're both fantastic with tonnes of atmosphere. And yes, similar mechanics, like you say
Sorry guys, Im being a full on traitor this weekend and staying on XBX for the next few months lol !
Playing the truly wonderful KC2 - Deliverance , got to Trosky and picked up some side quests and loving it. So much better than the first game.
Started Avowed on early access with GamePass and its great so far, an interesting Pillars of Eternity spin-off- a fantasy Outer Worlds and im loving it
Also, another life sapping open world hardcore RPG with the brilliant STALKER 2 ..As hardcore as it gets and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
Two of the best RTS games ever made ! I implore you all to pick these up - literally a lifetime of gaming, I've been playing them both on & off since 2004 - these 2 remasters are a gem
Always loved this series - ive played every iteration since Civ 1 ! But Eurogamer have given it a detailed, damning review which has totally made me cancelling any ideas of purchasing this. Such a shame
Forget about any more mediocre campaigns - just please deliver the ultimate multiplayer experience a la BF 2 /3/4 ...2042 did redeem itself a little but too little too late. I remember playing BF1942 back in the early 00's and literally playing it for days at a time. Bring that back !
Trying to plat the amazing Stellar Blade but that Brute boss REALLY kicks ass big time. What a game though ! Trying to mop up the final Achievements in Indy Jones before I do another story run through. Also blitzing through the lovely Crew Motorfest which is a joy to play and get lost in. Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@Frmknst ...wow you really gave the game a chance didnt ya ? Calling it "effing awful" after only an hour is ridiculous....its a 200 hr RPG which like most games really evolves and opens up as you play. The first hour is barely a tutorial - I'm presuming you've never played Skyrim or a Fallout game
Been so busy working the last 2 weekends but now I'm back baby ! So im on an Achievement mop up on Indy Jones on GamePass. This turned out to be my GOTY for '24. Let's hope it rocks up on PS5 soon. Im also blitzing WOW The War Within which is the freshest WoW has been in years, it's outstanding....15hrs flys by playing this 😅 More of the superb Stellar Blade too but man some of the bosses kick my ass hard, but I won't rest until I get the Platinum Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@ApostateMage reading your posts on here, I think we have VERY similar taste in games - believe me, Veilguard is a great game. Yes there's SOME questionable dialogue but there's also some fantastic writing in there too - some of the side quests with the cast of characters ( similar to ME2 loyalty missions, are superb, one in particular but I won't spoil it ) the lore of the game is deep and overall I loved it. Most people slating the game on here have never played it
@Rich33 ...I thought Veilguard was great, too. Some fantastic quests hidden in there, there's actually some GREAT writing in it ( see : Solas ) and some stunning locations. Most people on here slating it as "Failguard LOLZ" have 1000% haven't played it
Hoping for a full on remaster with a great graphics upgrade and QOL improvements. The original has aged like a bad curry - only really playable these days on PC with a tonne of mods
Fantastic, ground breaking game back in its day. But unfortunately it's aged like a bad curry. It plays well on PC with lots of mods - that's the only worthwhile way to play it now I fear

Re: Cancelled Wonder Woman PS5 Game Was 'Gorgeous and Expansive'
A shame we'll never see it. You'd certainly back Monolith to deliver a great game. Couldn't be worse than Suicide Squad ...could it ?

Re: Is Starfield Coming to PS5? 'Keeping Games Off Other Platforms Is Not the Path for Us,' Says Xbox Boss
@trev666 totally agree. I've completed it and the expansion and enjoyed it a lot without calling it a masterpiece. The very definition of a 7/10 game
