That's one big fucking testicle!

You got me there bro.

I'm going to have to pay it again, I don't remember anything like that.

The Swapper

Been playing here and there for a couple of months. It's not a long game, but I found it suited the odd 15 mins here and there (and I appreciated having cloud save to switch between PS4 and Vita). The puzzles were very good.

Yeah, that was good too - those slightly odd visuals aside - although playing it over such a long period meant I didn't follow the story that closely.

Next one down in the pile of shame, Alien Isolation

Finally. Kept putting it off as it scared me shitless. Hour here or there was all I could handle, but managed to complete the last 2/3 hours today. Dripping with atmosphere, jaw dropping in places and always a looker, immense sound design and brilliant if sometimes limited AI makes this the best Alien game IMO, and one of the best games all told I've played in years.

8 facehuggers out of 9 xenomorphs.

Showing as £29.99 for me.

Fucking blammo, the Collection which includes the Nostromo set DLC is up for £12.49, cheers gents.

NaissanceE

Good, creepy and weird. Fantastic soundwork. Amusing seeing people on the Steam forums scream about some of the "punishingly hard" platforming bits.

7 Tsutomu Nihei's out of 10.

Not sure whether this makes you a genius or a heretic, scoring out of nine. Makes me angry and aroused.

Alien Isolation is also on my 'list of games to catch up with', hopefully I'll get around to it soon.

I played RE3 more than any of the others, even though it's probably not as good as 2 in that original series. Just got into repeated playthroughs and trying to do it quicker and with fewer saves.

I reckon I could have a damn good shot at a Nemesis speed run, it's so short.

Yeah, I've been tempted to go through again. My first run was only 10.5 hours, could easily do it much quicker this time around. I'd also agree that 2 was better, but 3 is the first Resi since 4 (I played them very much out of order) that I've wanted to play through more than once. And I'm not sure my multiple play throughs of 4 count because it was on various bits of hardware.

Back on topic, but Thomas Was Alone on the Wii U. Best quid-or-so I've spent in ages. Top stuff, though the middle stages with twitch platforming was a bit frustrating, the floaty jumping mechanics didn't suit the faster paced stuff. [8] rectangles with actual personalities out of [10] generic white guy action heroes.

I wiuld love to see it get a HD remaster release on PS4. I would play the shit out of it. Well, I would try.

It does have way too much platforming for basic FPS controls. Architecture is awesome, though; good enough to keep me trying to do that stupid bit in the pipe with the stupid rotating stuff and the stupid wind. I normally wouldn't bother with that much stupid.

Yeah there's nothing in that section to suggest it's essentially timed and I think you need to hit the glowing portions to extend the time you have until the draft pushes you back? I'm still not sure.

I like the song from the advert

Life is Strange.

I liked it. I think. Kind of annoying that for every good element there was at least one bad. Some very lazy writing in parts, some very flat and clichéd characters, some crappy voice acting (chubby girl I'm looking at you).

It was saved by the central story thread but even that had some inconsistencies.

Just kind of wish it came together a bit better. Another thing being that even though they wear all their references on their sleeves with bright neon signs they couldn't divert from the cliches of those storylines in most instances.

"its not a game" etc
