This is the first pizzle game in an awful long time that I flat out refuse to look for help on how to beat the game. It leads to some frustration, but you just can't best that feeling of satisfaction when you do finally get it right.

I hate to be 'that' guy, but £30 is a good chunk of change, even when I've got a voucher for it. I'll likely pick it up in a few days, I'll give a few of my favourite podcasts a listen and decide after the fact.

The Witness I enjoy puzzle games as much as the next guy (Talos was superb), and I'm really eager to get in on the conversation about this game but something is holding me back..its length. Can someone sell me on it as I've got £25 PSN credit to burn after Christmas and there's naff all coming out for a while that'll likely be played on my PS4.

I'll take the no afterlife option please. Although if you eased up on a few of the rules I might be tempted to take the blue pill. For example, maybe give me 3 Reincarnations before I come back as an animal? I enjoy wiping my ass on the ground as much as anyone, but I'd like to take up the option of being a pro sportsman or a Royal first. You're in a fight to the death. You get to pick one of the following as a weapon. Baseball bat or a meat cleaver. What do you take?

Let me tell you about San Andreas. If you want to watch a series of CGI scenes of buildings collapsing (which lets be honest, aint fun no more) then this might be for you. Watch Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson flagrantly disregard the same people he swore to protect while he rushes to save his incredible beautiful family and two of the most British British people you've ever seen. If thats not enough for you, perhaps I can interest you in 'Movie Step Dad'. A fairly likeable guy who goes from alright dude to absolute monster in roughly 40 minutes. San Andreas. Paul Giamatti is randomly in this movie.

Shush. *please move it*

Ant-Man. I'm hesitant to say it's simply 'Okay' as I genuinely did enjoy my time with it, but I wouldn't call it 'Great' either. It's a fun Marvel movie. At this point, that's all I really want from them.

Another, slightly less serious problem I end up walking into (granted, this comes hand-in-hand with the style of game it is) is that after I grind and grind for that super-weapon that I've wanted for 10 months; eventually it'll be totally redundant and be replaced by a Yr 3 Common.

Lack of new content in PvE is why I've totally dropped off the Destiny map too. I know its only been a few short months since TTK, and I've put upwards of 60 hrs into the game but I've got to the point now where everything I had any interest in doing has ceased to be fun on the 20th go-round. Perhaps this is less a problem with the game and more with what I expect out of it, but it's still disappointing for a game that we figured would be brimming with new content on a regular basis. Look at the new event things they're doing. SRL was fun, but it certainly wasn't enough to keep me diving bank info Destiny and the Halloween thing fell totally flat for many. I wonder if Bungie and Activision have decided that they're okay with fans playing for a month and then leaving the game behind until the next major release?

Could try Missing E? It's an extension that's been pretty great in the past. Speaking of tumblr, I love the basic idea of it, but good lord has that platform gone down the tube in the last few years. I hate to go 'Way Back When', but I joined that site in 2010 and it was fantastic, when did it get overrun by 14 year olds doing their best to be offended by everything?

Me and my GF have been playing a game on our Chromecast recently. It's called Big Web Quiz and it's exactly what it sounds like. They use the Google Knowledge Graph to populate the game with various questions (although most seem to fall into the category of Who is this?, Where is This? and How Many of These?) which is unfortunate but whatever, it also allows a certain random approach that you might enjoy. The real hook of the game however, is the ability to play on the TV whilst using your phone or tablet. The game is designed to be played in a group; its a party game. It supports up to 5 (I think) players, and each game will take you roughly 5 minutes. It's free, its fun and it's pretty inventive. Wouldn't mind seeing more of this stuff going forward. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.bigwebquiz.app.prod&hl=en

I've been with my Nexus 6p for a little over a week at this point, and I've got to say, I love it. Size wise, I think it might be a touch too large for what I'm looking for (the OnePlus 1 really was ideal), but with a decent soft-touch case on the back I'm not having too much trouble gripping the phone with one hand. The camera seems solid, which coming from a phone with a very decent camera in the 1P1 was all sorts of essential. I'm still a touch worried about that giant glass camera region. I'm absolutely certain that *IF* I rub against a wall it'll be the first thing to crack, and I'm not sure how replaceable it is with the unit being sealed. All in all, it's a lovely phone. Marsh Mellow is real nice too.

I know I'm in the minority here, but Super Mario Maker just hasn't grabbed me in the slightest. The level design stuff fell entirely flat (namely because IDK WTF 2doew) and most of the custom made levels that I'm trying are simply..unfun. So PXOD, I ask; what am I doing wrong?

Not available in the UK because...Oceans? Thanks Amazon.

My 1Plus One was starting to get a little old in the tooth, and my contract with o2 was coming to an end so I thought I'd go for something more premium this time. Had the device a day, and whilst I've not really had a chance to use it in the wild (waiting on the number transfer), I can safely say that it's got that premium feel I'd not had since I got a HTC ONE X a few years ago.

That would be Besiege.

Ditto above. I've put in roughly 4 hours at this point, and I'm struggling to motivate myself to play anymore. The driving is fun, real fun. Crashing into things, flying over sand dunes; all great. The rest of the game? Tedious. They even managed to turn leveling up into a meandering bore-fest. It looks and runs great though, which I guess coming from WB should be a relief at this point (PC).

Big thanks to Mr GOH! for gifting me The Talos Principle, Hotline Miami 2, Kholat (been looking forward to that for a while) and Elite Dangerous; a game I'm hoping will hold a Destiny like place in my heart. You're far too kind. From my GF, who'll likely be delighted that I now have something to do, and from me...thanks.

People still play Rocket League with a ball? I thought all the kids were playing with Pucks now?

So am I the only one who's seen this yet? I guess this is my FIRST!!!! Comment. I'll be able to write a more in depth opinion of the film when I get a chance to sit down, probably on Sunday. I'll say this, I really fucking enjoyed The Force Awakens. It had everything I'd want from a Star Wars film. Was it perfect? No, it's got one or two niggles but on the whole I'm super excited about the franchise being back, and after watching the prequels over the last 4 days, it's great to see that they've gone back to what Star Wars used to be.

In hindsight, I think I'm going to go and say The Witcher 3 was a bit of a disappointment. I enjoyed my time with it greatly, but in my opinion it's a weaker game than the one that came before it. As for my GOTY? Until Dawn gets the nod ahead of The Taken King (if we're allowing that, TTK is my GOTY). I don't typically enjoy horror games, but this was the perfect combination of fun, tension and visuals. **Edit** So Yeah, I forgot Rocket League and Guitar Hero Live. Still playing them both now, and I don't see that changing coming into the new year.
