Before I forget. EPIC store gives out two free games a week every week and they are normally actually quite good. If your not taking advantage start now.

Also does anyone know of any other games launchers that do the same

Origin used to do that.

ActiBlizz does give stuff away occasionally (Destiny 2 vanilla was on a giveaway on battle.net a while back)

And of course, Humble bundle and Steam have free games quite frequently. GOG does it during sales only.

Just watched last night's Nintendo Direct. We're getting SNES Classics today!

And I've got 12 days of vacation! I am going to play so much Super Mario World. I hope it lives up to my nostalgia. Ten year old Apt played through that game dozens of times.

Think it's actually tomorrow for those of us here in the UK, but yeah! I just subscribed to Switch Online a couple of weeks ago because of the rumours this was coming and I thought they might put the price up at the same time (they haven't - yet).

Some nostalgia. Memba this?

It used to freak me out (and kind of scare me) when I would watch my older brother fire up the game. I used to imagine what would happen if you turned that valve. Would blood start pouring out his nose? eeeeeeeek! Posted Image

That one and the one where the valve was in his neck and he started to turn. Freaky.

Any of you Souls fiends looking forward to Blasphemous? It looks really good, I also suspect I'd hate it.

I have it wishlisted on GOG, but more for the Metroidvania bits than the Soulsiness. I'll grab it when I see under 20 bucks.

So it seems that the open world RPG which Playground Games (the Forza racing series) have been secretly working on is...FABLE 4.

The plot, according to leaks, is that the world was devastated by an asteroid, and will be again in the future, and it’s up to you to try and stop it. Or you could just buy up properties and make millions a la standard Fable. Parts of it will also take place on other planets and there might be a more sci-fi tinge to it.

Cool idea to take the series into the future, rather than being bound to the fairytale like fantasy setting.

For those with the Sony Box, there's a TLOU2 "media event" towards the end of September. I'm guessing a release date announcement is coming?

I saw some speculation it might be a part of an unannounced PlayStation event but I'd assume Sony is pushing any big announcements to next year when ever they reveal the PS4.

I'm hoping an English dubbed version releases.

Watched the briefing story trailer and it's wonderfully Kojima. It's everything I loved about MGS4.

TGS isn't big on major news this time.

No word on Project Awakening, Babylon's Fall or Elden Ring.

I am sooo tempted to buy Link's Awakening.

I feel like I should wait for Christmas when it might get a 33% discount but it's Zelda!

Stay strong Apt. Borderlands can tie you over until Ghost Recon comes out.

The new Ghost Recon is a travesty. It's at best a vehicle for microtransactions and at worst not even trying to be a Ghost Recon game.
