June 25, 201511 yr Monument Valley is promoted again by the Amazon appstore, you can grab it for free. Highly recommended, a fantastic, beautiful and very original game. Bard's Tale is also free, haven't played that one yet but had loads of fun with the first edition on C64 :)
June 26, 201511 yr I really need to start finishing my games before I buy any more. Far Cry 4, Witcher 3, Forza Horizon 2, Forza 5, Watch Dogs, Tomb Raider, Evolve, Halo: MCE. All sitting in a draw and I haven't touched them in ages.

June 28, 201511 yr Steam stole some of my money with their ludicrously low total war prices, snapped up Empire and Napoleon for a song. Had both but have long since lost the discs.
June 29, 201511 yr Bought Batman on the weekend, enjoying it. Can see why people are complaining about the batmobile controls but I still think it's very fun and adds a lot to the game. Love Riddlers puzzles and questions and I like that this game doesnt hold your hand all the way through.
June 29, 201511 yr Witcher 3, Ignis Fatuus is a w**ker. AARD the sh*t of it, that's how I did it. I don't think any of the other signs really help.
June 29, 201511 yr playing through The Walking Dead at the moment. 2nd one isn't as interesting as the first.
June 29, 201511 yr I`ll try that, I`m currently trying to level up a bit so I can go back and kick his head in.
June 29, 201511 yr Provided I've finished The Witcher (Only level 16, not gone to Skellige yet...) Just Cause 3 just gets more exciting the more I read about it. Got to finish in time for when it comes out at Christmas! Edited June 29, 201511 yr by Blueblur
June 29, 201511 yr I'm just counting the days till Fallout. That's the game next gen is crying out for.
June 29, 201511 yr Akham Knight is brilliant. Ties in really well with the previous two Rocksteady Studios games but also makes quite a lot of reference to Origins as well so you really get a sense of this self contained Batman Universe. Some great bits in it that are drawn directly from the comics as well and it's exactly why the series has been such a success. I was indifferent about the Batmobile initially but with a couple of upgrades on it and further into the game there are some extremely challenging side quests to do that use it. I've tried not to just hammer through the main story so I've done quiet a lot of the side quests now. The duel play with Robin, Catwoman and Nightwing works really well and helps to mix up the game as well.
June 30, 201511 yr finished The Walking Dead season 2 The TellTale games? Are they any good? I've been debating about whether to get these for my Vita for awhile now but not sure if they're worth the money.
June 30, 201511 yr Bought Castlevania Symphony of the Night for my Vita. Never played it on PS1 and heard good things about, so it's my current game for train journeys.
June 30, 201511 yr The TellTale games? Are they any good? I've been debating about whether to get these for my Vita for awhile now but not sure if they're worth the money. I wouldn't really class them games. They are interactive stories which you make decisions in as you go, with some quick time events and a bit of wandering around finding things. But they were enjoyable. I actually preferred The Wolf Among Us, rather than The Walking Dead, but both are pretty similar.
June 30, 201511 yr That's just the playstationplus demo eh? No, it says trial but it's the game. The full game for £20 has all the tracks and multiplayer.
June 30, 201511 yr No, it says trial but it's the game. The full game for £20 has all the tracks and multiplayer. Damn. I deleted it thinking it was just the demo :lol: 6 gig update too! Will give it another download tonight, glad I didn't buy that Metal Game game when it came out, very short.
June 30, 201511 yr I bought the full version of Drive Club at the start of the year when there wasn't much out to play. It's a gorgeous looking game and plays well but I was reminded that I just don't like racing games all that much. I do a couple of races and the monotony of it kicks in and I get bored, I barely play it for an hour at a time but haven't touched it in months.
June 30, 201511 yr Not big on driving games either, think Demolition Derby on the PS1 is the only racing type game I have enjoyed.
July 1, 201511 yr Only decent driving games for me were Forza and Grid, they do all get boring quickly though.
