The days are longer (light wise) so I spend more time outside than in the winter. Golfing, cycling, motorbiking everything I can't enjoy in the dark, still game most days once the sun goes down
Will definitely check this one out, would love a physical copy which would have made it day 1 but I'll catch up with it at some point, currently on Still Wakes the Deep and it's fantastic so far!
@Don_Corleone I suspect you might be referring to the legend that is @nessisonett !! Apologies if not, the smoking hair is from Eraserhead
I am off on my hols today so it will be Vita only for a couple of weeks, I am going to take Batman Blackgate, Super Monkey Ball and Ratchet & Clank Trilogy!
@OldGamer999 Yeah I am a bit gutted about this too, I really don't like playing 2 games at once and want to give SW my full attention so it may be that I get Astro day one but don't play it until further down the line. Doesn't help the back log!!
@Khayl Holy cr*p, nightmare fuel right there. I would have dropped dead on the spot. I let my son keep snakes (only corn snakes) in the house no worries but 8 legged freaks are a complete no go!!!! Appreciate the article though buddy, great for those with love for the little critters 👍
I still play it most days, it is an absolute blast, still throws up those unbelievable moments and the PS community is excellent just needs a bit of mixing up. As others have mentioned a horde mode and new faction would bring players back for sure.
This game reignited my passion for multiplayer games, it is brilliant!
Not sure if I am millennial or not (born in 80' but I do have fond memories of Dexters Laboratory & the Powder Puff Girls (awesome tunes in PPG) hence I might have to pick this one up.
@ShogunRok do you know if there are any plans for physical? I know its dying but I'm old school!!
@Futureshark It is a real blind spot if you ask me, House of Dead, Time Crisis, Mad Dog McCree, operation Wolf etc would all be awesome in VR. Proper 90's arcade games!!
Not great for me but I did enjoy Borderlands 3, NHL is not my bag but no issue there, I was pleased when we got FIFA where I am sure the ice hockey fans were not, so all's fair
Got an itch to play Fallout after finishing the series which was excellent, bit less of that 50's music for the next season tough please! Want to give Kayak VR a whirl on PSVR2 too, really loving getting VR games on plus
I really like mine and use it most weeks but yes mainly for 3rd party stuff, GT is great, haven't started Call of the Mountain yet. I had the PSVR1 too which I still have and gems like Ace Combat and SW Squadrons were just the stuff of dreams as a kid, such a shame PS couldn't build on it.
Looking forward to Behemoth and am now enjoying the few games which are dripping out of PS Premium.
@Balosi Yeah it would have been cool to be there, do you know why the PS1 is considered to be so good for audio files? I love the PS1 but never knew it was so well respected in music circles!
Really good review thank you Aaron, I really enjoyed Every body's Gone to the Rapture so I am happy to put some money their way especially as this is more horror than supernatural (I think).
If anybody has notice the link below the article, Amazon are selling this with a whole 4 pence off; £29.95 instead or £29.99 - Bargain
@get2sammyb On another interesting note, did you read at the weekend about the Wu Tang Clan allowing 30 minutes of their one off album (Once Upon a Time in Shaolin) to be heard at the Mona museum in Tasmania? Invite only and it was played through a PS1 which was on stage? Apparently it is one of the best ways to listen to CD formats!?!! Not sure how or why but thought it was pretty cool.
I think this is the first month ever I have no interest in any Extra games but really pleased to get be getting Kayak VR on Premium. So overall I am very happy!
@J2theEzzo No worries buddy, it is an older game now and probably only those who played it will read the article/comments. I did exactly the same as you when I first read their comment 👍
Such a shame, Disco is easily in my top 3 games of all time, truly spectacular IMO. Kim being my favourite side kick of all time makes it hurt even more!
Excellent, another VR game which I haven't got, I really hope we get at least 1 VR game a month now, there are loads to chose from so keep em' coming Sony.
I downloaded Walkabout Golf and Before Your Eyes last night so I will be diving into those and obviously a bit of bot rushing for democracy along the way!
The new booster could be great with the medic armour just not sure if the increase in damage prevention counts on top of the medic armour or not, the increased movement speed will be decent too fingers crossed!
Will get it physical & can't wait. Obviously the game is what I want but the soundtrack if as good as previous entries will be awesome too, not so bothered about avatars, hardly ever change mine!
@Decimateh-xblz Is this actually happening? It has been quiet since announcing earlier in the year. I loved Shadow of the Dammed, Evil West was similar, loads of fun but not quite as good IMO!
Thanks Liam, definitely one to watch, I really enjoyed the Test Drive series back in the day!! It was no Gran Turismo but it didn't try to be and was better for it, one of those games you could imagine dropping a whole lot of coins into at the arcade
Excellent news on the VR front, I have some of the titles on offer here but I was keen to try walk about golf and hopefully we continue to get PSVR2 titles moving forward!
PS. don't sleep on Dredge, great game as is SoR4!!!
Doing my part to get the new Exo suit in HD2 in the hope it is decent and not a glass cannon! Really want to finish my play through of Trepang2 as well & a little matter of the the FA cup final too!
I'll be doing my part, I don't use the Patriot Mech at all, great fun at first but not really viable on higher levels however I do look forward to taking this for spin, should we be successful of course!!
More Helldivers and also got my Sunsoft Collection 2 for Evercade so bit of Blaster Master for me. Hopefully enjoy the last game of the season and fingers crossed catch the boxing tonight!! Happy gaming folks
Great news, great game, well deserved! Needs to improve the war bonds & MO though to prevent staleness, starting to feel a bit of burn out now to be honest and they keep nerfing my favourite guns which doesn't help!
I do love the game though and for £30 it is worth every penny.

Awesome news, just the reason to dive back in and do my part ✊
Re: 'Unpolished' Star Wars Outlaws Gameplay Gets Blasted, But Ubisoft Insists on August Release Date
I didn't watch the trailer so as not to spoil anything but it is a Ubi game so I expect a few bugs etc on launch.
I have no issue with the Ubi formula it is pure comfort food and being wrapped in Star Wars makes it even tastier

Awesome, 2 VR articles in 1 day! we are eating well fellow VR players I jest but it is good news and this looks great. Day one for me I think!
Re: Outstanding Tycoon Title Arcade Paradise Spins Up a PSVR2 Version
Superb game, some of the cabinets were excellent, I got pretty addicted to Woodgal Jr and Stack Overflow!
I will definitely be diving back in, great price point too.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for July 2024 Announced

Re: Disco Elysium Successor Cruelly Cancelled in 2024 Would Have Been 'Most Hardcore Disco Since Disco'

@Kienda Spot on mate, Wally all day and that was my first thought!!
