Shindig

We spend all life trying to build memories and the slate gets wiped clean at the point of death.I restrict my backlog by only counting stuff I've paid money for. The Epic and PS+ freebies are just ga...

It depends on the roster, too. I don't like it cluttered with copycats.

So did Robert De Niro fund Shadows: War of Succession?

Ubisoft, Microsoft and Concord. Microsoft and Ubisoft feel like they're in a tailspin of producing poor products. It's more surprising from Ubisoft who have spent the last decade turning lacklustre...

Most of the reviews I've written have been in the 6-7 pocket. I view a 5 as having very few notable qualities. A game that barely registers but is, at the very least, not broken. 6's especially feel l...

@bigsocrates said:@shindig: Considering the pixel remasters I very much doubt they'll ever get PS4/5 versions. Though oddly Grandia did alongside the HD release. But I don't believe Square has put an...

I own Directors Cut on disc so no PS5 executable for me. The only one I'm (slightly) waiting for is if the Final Fantasy Anthology versions get a PS5 version that speeds up the oddly stodgy load time...

I agree with that. I'm not tired of the Mashima bullshit (it was my first Tekken) but I'd heard enough to know that Heihachi being killed off was a big thing. Kazuya seemed a capable villain in his...

Just skimming through my reviews for the year to see if anything jumps out at me.Tekken 8 for best narrative seems like a stretch but would you take that over Silent Hill 2? Beyond Galaxyland if you'r...

In terms of stature, I guess it's fine. I look it as it taking another game's spot but this award show is geared towards the AAA. What would take Shadow of the Erdtree's place in a year that's been ...

"And now a moment to remember the trailers we've lost this year ..."

Am I an Xbox?

They're close to having the Switch be the most bought console of all time. I don't see them blockading the Switch 2 when Switch software is still selling.

Yeah, there's something so bizarre about a platform holder launching a game and shuttering it faster than Liz Truss' time as Prime Minister.

I go back and forth on whether gaming is being dumbed down. The yellow paint situation has always existed, just in different forms. Use the same metal texture to indicate a climbable surface, here's...

The Mountain Dew in shot might be the best part of that.

Yeah, I like this game but the maze-like mansion definitely slowed me down. At least I'd killed everything so the backtracking was without bother. At least they went with the PC version because the 3D...

There was a lot more excitement to it but I also had less of a filter when it comes to deciding what games were good.

Yeah, I have no idea what form Beyond Good and Evil 2 could take. The only time it felt like something approaching a sure thing was during the 360/PS3 era. In all that time since the 2008 trailer, I'v...

I feel like Resident Evil 2Make managed to provide a wholly new game whilst keeping the vibes of the original. It finally turned me on to over-the-shoulder Resident Evil combat whilst satiating my r...
