I enjoyed the free demo version thingy of Killer Instinct that much that I sprung for the Complete Collection, giving me all the fighters, access to the remaining fighters due to come out, all the add on clothing and extras for the fighters as well as Killer Instinct 1 and 2 re-mastered for £41.

 

Plus it gives me the possibility of earning 1900 Gamerscore. Bonus.

Been off ill from work for a couple of days with a seriously dicky belly (don't ever order from the Domino's Pizza in Heywood) and waltzed through Rugby Pro 15 and Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments on the One including picking up the full 1000g on Sherlock Holmes.

 

Before that I went through Saints Row IV: Re-elected and Gat out of Hell as well. I can see why they ended up making Gat out of Hell an add on to the remake of IV in the end, it was basically the same game in a different setting with slight name changes for the powers and clusters and a really short main story. But it was fun for what it was.

 

Good news was all three where rentals so it cost me pretty much nothing.

Picked up Trials Fusion and Costume Quest 2 for pretty damn cheap in the latest Xbox Marketplace sale.

 

I'm loving Trials Fusion (Gringo, I'm coming for your times, buddy!), and Costume Quest is ace. But it's a Double Fine game, so it stood a chance it was gonna be good.

I've been playing Life is Strange and really enjoying it. The graphics are really good, the time-control mechanics are intuitive and the whole "feel" is fantastically immersive.

 

A good example is near the start where the character puts on headphones (the choice of track helps) and you walk the school hallways. It's brilliantly done.

Oh I sucked on it, trust me - if you wanna see Trials Fusion excellence you need to add my friend SoberBob300. That man can ride.

I picked up and finished The Order 1886. Definitely better than the 6.5 IGN gave it but not by much. I'd go 7 - 7.5 max. Its basically like an interactive movie, lots of story, cutscenes with a bit of cover based shooting and traversing thrown in. The visuals are gorgeous, maybe the best graphics I've ever seen. Overall, when its in the bargain bin for £20 in 6 weeks, its worth a punt.

[Evil Gringo 279]

I have waited for the patches and what not to make AC: Unity playable and so far it has been good, but not all they promised but then again what game is these days?

 

I have Walking Dead Season 2, The Crew, the second episode of Game of Thrones to do as well, plus Rayman Legends which was the free X-Box Live Gold download this month and pretty soon, Borderlands: The Handsome Jack collection too.

[Guest Edgehead]

Has anyone played Alien Isolation? I'm tempted to get it but I've read a lot of mixed reviews.

I personally don't play any games like that, in essence they are just scripted jump scares, there's no real way to "play" the game. Comparably AI is better because you can fight back against the enemies but you can't kill anything either. I'd rather play something like Dayz where other players are your main enemy because the game is never predictable.

[Evil Gringo 279]

If you want that type of game but actually want the ability to fight back then Dead Space 1, 2 or 3 is a better shout.

[DC 536]

I'd leave Dead Space 3 out of it, but definitely go with the first two.

I picked up Formula 1 2014 for £20 yesterday. the last version of the game i had was 2010 so there is more than enougth to warrant me picking it up.

 

Started a season with Marussia and came 21st out of 22 in my first race in Australia. While on paper it looks pretty poor I'm more than happy with that on my debut, going to attempt Malaysia and Bahrain later today. I'll post updates as i go along.

Ubisoft weekend on Steam and whilst that means mostly b*llocks like assassin's creed on sale South Park: Stick of Truth is only £8.15 and the DLC's £1.50. so since other peeps said it was worth £30 I'm downloading it now. :)

[dsrchris 190]

I reckon you'll love it. Especially if you're getting the whole thing for under a tenner.

Picked up a PS4 last week and currently dabbling around with WWE 2K15 and GTA V.

 

Anyone wanna add me on PSN, then Mookie_ShaunJam is my name.

[Guest Jase01]

I still play Red Alert 2 and I am not ashamed! hehe

[Omega 354]

Finished the main storyline of stick of truth, good fun for 8 quid but I think I'd be a bit naffed off if I had bought it full price.

[Evil Gringo 279]

It is a wee bit short, I blasted it in a weekend so I was glad I got it as a rental but I had a real lot of fun when I did play it through. Good game but yeah, £45 would have been a bit much at launch for the length of it.

[dsrchris 190]

I paid £25 for it from Tesco when it was released, so I was quite pleased with it.

[Omega 354]

Was that console or PC? The PC port controls were pretty annoying..

[dsrchris 190]

Console, I've got the 360 version. I need to go back through it actually and clear up the last few achievements.

[Omega 354]

PC version gave me wrist ache from constantly holding down the AWSD and Shift keys to run everywhere. I did enjoy it though.

[Evil Gringo 279]

Rayman Legends which is a cracking good little platform and free as well on Gold at the moment, I have done the second episode of Game of Thrones which was belting and will get the third episode of it next month, I still have the entire second season of the Walking Dead to do as well.

 

I bought the Handsome Jack Collection (Borderlands 2 & Pre-Sequel re-mastered together) and have done a little bit of Borders 2 but I am waiting for it to reinstall on my 360 as you need to have the old 360 games and the latest patch to upload your character so it can be ported to the new generation version. This is also the same with the PS3 so they can move to the PS4 but if your new to the game or not fussed you can also start from scratch.

 

Finally I have Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham and The Wolf Amongst Us on the way from Boomerang as well. So plenty to keep my company when Becki is at work and I am off over Easter (from yesterday to next Tuesday).

[Evil Gringo 279]

Games I am currently playing or have still to play...

 

Rayman Legends (free on Gold)

Pool VX (free on Gold)

Child of Light (free on Gold)

Neverwinter (free on Gold

Borderlands 2 & Pre-Sequel

Walking Dead Season 2

Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham

 

I may have a gaming addiction.

[Evil Gringo 279]

Also you can get Forza Horizon 2 Presents: Fast and the Furious for free until the 10th of April on X-Box Live Gold. It is pretty much a smaller version of Horizon for free that you don't need Horizon to play, it is completely stand alone.

 

It is also one of the easiest 1000 Gamerscore games I have ever played, all you have to do is just play the game really, took me two hours or so. Fun little blast though, highly recommended for Forza or diving game fans.
