  1. Finally got around to starting the Alien franchise. Alien was fantastic from start to finish. Aliens was also very enjoyable, but it lost me a little after half way. I think I prefer the tension of the first against the action of the second. I've heard it falls off a cliff from here on out though?
  2. NHL15 will finally get a new announcement team. I've been listening to the same guys for 8 years at this point.

      Ugh Ray Ferraro? Ugh.

      Anything is better than Clement at this point.

       

  3. Sir, You Are Being Hunted left Early Access yesterday. Has anyone been playing it? (Its really really good).

      I've been meaning to get it but I held off until it is off Early Access. Now to wait for a sale since I'm broke.

  4. Fairly sure FSD means that I should use the RSS app 'Press' with Feedly as my RSS manager/Service.
  5. What RSS readers are you all using? I've been using Feedly for the last year or so (since Google Reader was taken from us), and for the most part it's been solid. However, recently it appears to have fallen off a cliff and i've decided a change is needed. Problem is I'd like something that's available on both iOS and Android, and that limits my options substantially.
  6. The Last Days on Mars - Fairly mediocre science fiction that see's an expedition to Mars take a turn for the worse when they make a super important discovery. You've probably seen this film 4 times before in one way or another. Dirty Girl - Because Juno Temple is lovely.
  7. I'm just not seeing this boom in PC gamers though. I don't doubt the figures, but everyone I know who plays video games, plays them on their sofa with a Sony or Microsoft console.
  8. If that is truly the case, I may have to abort the series all together. I'd rather finish the books before the tv show.
  9. Filth James McAvoy's best performance to date? This film was awesome.
  10. Just finished Arkham Origins. The game certainly didn't merit some of the bad reviews it received (although I can't speak to technical issues - although the game did quit on me twice), but it wasn't a truly great game either. All in all, if you're wanting Arkham City 2, Arkham Origins hits the spot. I just hope they mix it up a little for the next game. Also if they could stop throwing generic bad guys at you whilst your supposed to be in a battle to the death with a major villain, that'd be fucking great.
  11. £6.55 on GMG I had planned on re-playing Arkham City before this, but with Arkham Knight coming out soon (ish..?), I should probably get cracking.
  12. Tengami - iPad Really enjoyable....puzzle game? I'm not sure. It was fun, it looked nice and it made my ears feel nice whilst I played it. It's awfully easy though.
  13. The Banner Saga Flew through this game in a little over 10 hours, and for the most part it was an enjoyable experience. The game is a beauty to look at, and it's story grabbed me from minute one. The combat is a bit hit and miss however, whilst I think the idea's are in place to make it an interesting and fun mechanic, at the minute it just doesn't land. And then there's the final battle. It changes sh*t up, which can be very frustrating if you're not into that sort of thing. I worked it out eventually, but I had to game the system a little in order to do it. Also the game just ends, which I assume to means we'll be seeing a sequel at some point. That's fine by me.
  14. Sometimes You Die A very short iOS puzzle/platformer that I don't at all feel slimy for including in this thread.
  15. Currently on sale for roughly £10 on GMG (use the code).
  16. First time I tried to play it, I had it without perma-death, and I was still struggling to get into it. I gave it another go last night, and it just didn't take. I gave it a few hours, I'm happy to leave it behind now.
  17. Fire Emblem Awakening Its my second attempt at getting into this game, and whilst it's got the makings of a very good game, I just can't 'find the time' to play it. I wonder if that means I've subconsciously decided I don't like it or not. I've already lost a few guys, and I'm not all that far into the game. I'm enjoying the battles, but they're certainly not the prettiest things you'll see, not even for a 3DS title. If the games cutscenes were all as beautiful as some of the hand drawn art they sometimes throw at you, I'd probably be more eager to play this game, they're that good; unfortunately they're not. I'll see if I can give the game another hour or two this evening, but in all honesty I think its destined for a trade in.
  18. Ever gone through a short spell where games just aren't grabbing you? That's me right now.

      Last two AAA games I started both failed to grab me. I'm not sure what's wrong. Real world worries apparently turn me off gaming, rather than push me into it.

      You're probably just sick of AAA games. Whenever that happens to me, I pick some weird indie game at random in my Steam library and play that. Thanks to indie bundles, I'm never in danger of running out of those...

       

      Anyway, my advice is try to play something a bit out of your comfort zone.

      I haven't played games for a while. Second Son might grab my interest for a bit though. I'm just an RPG guy, and those aren't that common throughout a year

  19. If you're like me in that you seem to change wallpapers every few days, I can't recommend Muzei enough. It'll pull down wallpapers from various sources, and with the addition of MultiMuze, allow the app to change the wallpaper itself after a predetermined amount of time. It's free also.
  20. As a fan of the books, I'm not too pleased about it, but there's no way we'll be able to avoid show (and thus), book spoilers. Not with the popularity of the show as it is currently anyway.
