Sony seem to have had a decent year with Helldivers 2, Astro Bot and Stellar Blade all grabbing a fair bit of attention as first party games. I've not played Helldivers 2 as multiplayer games aren't really my thing any more. Astro Bot is very much my thing and might tempt me to get a PSN...

I don't plan on buying any major titles for the rest of 2024 now, so I think I can fairly safely list my personal games of the year. My runner up pick for Game of the Year of all the games I've played in 2024 is Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth - I'm a huge fan of the Like A Dragon/Yakuza series...

Not a day one buy for me personally, but it's shaping up pretty good so far, despite what the usual bunch of permanently offended have been saying over the last week or two.

I did a thread like this a while back, but couldn't find it, so it was probably wayyyy too far back to necro! To paraphrase comedy legend Jesse from The Fast Show, "this month I'are mostly playing..." Hogwarts Legacy Redfall Romancelvania With it being October, I wanted to play something a...

I'm not really into Souls-like games, but this caught my eye in the last Steam Next Fest. It's based on Italian folklore which isn't a setting many games explore. Will be waiting to see how the reviews go on release. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2102450/Enotria_The_Last_Song/

In a couple of weeks, I'll have been playing video games for 34 years, as my grandad bought me an Atari 2600 Jr for my 5th birthday. For Christmas that year, I was lucky enough to be bought the must have toy that year, a Nintendo Game Boy. A few years later, I had my first ever Zelda experience...

Valve have been making a few changes to Steam recently and one of the big things is changing how Steam Store pages actually look. Some devs have been posting links to other games and all sorts of weird and wonderful things - Valve are cracking down on that. The thing that will impact me though...

Two of my favourite inappropriate games for the Xbox 360 are coming to PC - Shadows of the Damned and Lollipop Chainsaw. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2535440/Shadows_of_the_Damned_Hella_Remastered/...

I noticed in a thread that @Ekans2011 had been asking for advice on specs that they mentioned being fans of point & click games and that they were disappointed the genre is nearly extinct. This is just advising on a few of the better games released in recent years that I think are worth a play...

It has been alleged that Valve is overcharging UK-based Steam customers and they're facing a legal challenge over it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpwwyj6v24xo Estimates are potentially 40-odd quid refunds could be on the way. Valve will get mine right back as I buy something else with it!

Steam has a very handy page with an overview of all the main events on at the moment with all the showcases. My wishlist is going to top 1,600 games (minimum!) before this upcoming Next Fest even begins. After that has finished? It's going to be far larger if the last Next Fest is anything to go...

As someone who keeps an eye on indie games, one of my most anticipated indie games for the year is out in just over a month. Published by Humble Games (who haven't really put a foot wrong yet), #BLUD is a fun Action Adventure game and I just love the cartoony animations which definitely remind...

I loved the hell out of Hades, although I was really bad at the game, and so I was hopeful when the sequel was announced. It launched on Steam into Early Access yesterday and the early reviews suggest that Supergiant games have done it again! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1145350/Hades_II/

No, the title isn't referring to me (this time), but you may have seen there's a new Alone In the Dark game out as of last week. It seems to be splitting opinions. The critics are not overly impressed: But there's a 78% rating on Steam, which is Mostly Positive, but only 2% away from Very...

I've been having problems with Steam all day. I can browse the store, but clicking into the library screen causes Steam to close down and restart. From what I can see reading around, it seems to be an issue for people with Steam libraries larger than 2,000 games. A few people have been able to...

There appears to have been a Steam update or something in recent days and it's suddenly using a LOT of RAM. Like this much: I'm not running games or anything. This is not normal, but there's a lot of threads in the Steam communities about this. Hopefully it's resolved soon!

This could be a thread I keep coming back to and will probably necro it more than a few times for future Next Fests! I don't know how wide the interest in these games will be, but having flicked through this month's festival, these are a few that jumped out at me and are very much on my radar...

This has to be my new favourite Twitter account ever. They're compiling a list of all the video games where you can pet the dog. Ultimately, I can see this account actually changing the order of my gaming backlog! https://twitter.com/CanYouPetTheDog

2023 was a mixed year for Xbox exclusives with Hi Fi Rush likely being the standout title, Starfield doing okay as a game but not coming anywhere near the hype and Redfall sadly crashing and burning. Microsoft's studios have some pretty interesting stuff going on for 2024 and I'm looking...

If I play a game or series too much, I tend to get burnt out and having spent many, many, MANY hours playing through the Yakuza/Like A Dragon games in recent times, I wanted a change of pace and having watched a video about games set in England just yesterday, I decided to give Watch Dogs...
