Just picked up The Last Spell on the PS, definitely my sort of game. Will tackle it after Tactics Ogre.

Was gonna grab Bleak Faith Forsaken on GOG, but the Devs borked that release, and then got too busy fixing bugs and patching the Steam version at a crazy pace. Also, they bought a bunch of animations from Unreal marketplace, and it turns out those were illegally ripped from Elden Ring, so now they need to replace them, because FromSoft fans are afoot with pitchforks and torches.

So instead I picked up a key for Hi-Fi Rush for 25% off at Fanatical.

Finally started on Dread the other day. Mixed feelings - I feel like they ramped up the need for melee too much and it's pretty dang hard compared to the older 2D 'Troids.

But then I should probably stop bitchin' given that difficulty is one reason I slut for Prime 2...

Picked up NieR:Replicant and Trails of Cold Steel IV in the Steam Spring Sale.

Grabbed Gungrave G.O.R.E. off CD keys, b/c 66% off.

for the Spring Sale, I'm looking at a bunch of indies from the bottomof my wishlist (sorted by price), but I'll wait to see what GOG's full spring sale is like first.

Picked up a bunch of 3DS games, mostly £3 - £4 each, at the last minute before the eshop closes down today.

Hmmm, did a bit of banking and realized I'm in a bit of a pinch with all the house-related expenses lately.


Gonna have to cut down on random game purchases, and probably save up for Lies of P in AUG.

(this bodes well for my backlog)

So I popped into CeX in town the other day (second hand games/DVD's/electronics store) and found them selling Mass Effect Legendary Edition and Tony Hawk's 1&2 Remastered PS4 edition at £12 a pop, so obviously I bought both of them straight away.

I put ME into the console just to check it works ok and an hour later I remembered how much I truly love those games. Almost to the point that I'm willing to stop playing TLOU2 despite how much I love that... I think I'll stick it out though and keep on with TLOU2 so I can enjoy Mass Effect without anything else hanging over my head hah.

As for Tony Hawk I think I'll just play that for downtime every now and then.

I shouldn't by Age of Wonders 4 right now, but I really really want to.

Did I see people in this forum talk about the Outer Worlds? Is it good? Currently only £6 second hand and wondering if I should get it.

I dropped it after about five hours, it was dire. Couldn't pay me to pick it up again.

Bought Baldurs Gate 3 yesterday, had a plan to wait until my next holiday, and keep playing Half Life VR. But all the enthusiastic stories made me not want to wait any longer. First impression is very good.

Dawn of War II was £2.

And our enemies hide in metal boxes.

Not so much a game I bought today but today I purchased a steam deck! Bigger than I thought it was (that's what she said) and I realised my steam library is somewhat lacking.

I have some games from a while ago so I'll play them for some nostalgia but it seems not every game I want to get is compatible for the console.

Oh well that's fine I'll just play Rome Total War and Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (built on the AoE2 engine) and Max Payne 3 which I don't think I ever really played.

Looks like there are some good free/cheap games too.

Finally caved and bought Baldurs Gate 3, started playing that then Palworld dropped on the PS5 so bought that too. Total dilemma what to play now...

[Tiste Simeon]

Today I bought Jedi Fallen Order. Is it good? Is it suitable for a 5 year old to play/watch? Or is it quite violent?
