Cheers. I guess for less than £10 (including delivery) it's worth a try, although I did find myself thinking last night "No, PS4 is for the tv, PC is for the PC" Posted Image

I've had my PC hooked up to my living room TV for the past 6 years. Completely stopped watching TV, I just use the TV as a giant monitor and play and browse on the couch using a wireless mouse and keyboard setup.

Well, I did. My PC is dead now. Now I am forced to use my TV's browser which is painfully slow.

It's the connection between the steam engine and the wheels in a steamboat or train.

It's a very well made free to play grind fest, but the game was not for me the couple times I've tried it out.

It has a ton of content and depth but after a while you'll realize that the games levels are not actually meant for meaningful exploration and story telling.

The game is meant for a team of random players just brute forcing their way through the enemies resistance at top speed.

As such, by the tenth mission, while the story was cool, the actual gameplay was very copy paste. Very cool but samey.

Think of it as an opposite Destiny. The gameplay is less polished and AAA but there is an actual story and proper world building to get into.

It's an inproved space dark sector on steroids

Uncharted short film.

This is really good considering it's test footage. Nathan Fillion was always meant to play Drake. Everything from the dialogue to the discovery to the action captures the character of the games.

I hope this goes the way of the Deadpool test footage. Fillion is getting old now but he's perfect for this role.

My main issue is that there hasn't really ever been a film based on a computer game franchise that is actually good.

The slight exception is Assassin's Creed but even that wasn't brilliant, despite being good fun...

Call of Cthulhu RPG has a release date: Oct 30th.

Hey, Rockstar! Guess what I might buy instead of RDR2, because you're not releasing it on PC?

Assassin's Creed was absolutely dire.

The problem for video game film adaptations is that Mortal Kombat set the bar so high that it's nigh impossible for other films to live up to that standard

I know even less about spideyverse than I do about batmanverse, but I'm getting strong Arkham Origins vibes from that.

Anyways, it's an exclusive, so meh.

Get a ps4 Ment! Play Horizon.

Nintendo is gunning hard for the room sites! I have never really supported Nintendo in this.many of these games only exist on pc emulators these days. That said now that Nintendo is trying to create the snes mini etx and their Nintendo service maybe they have a plan. If they do ill support them. I'm happy to pay if it's easy and convenient.

If the only way to get ahokd of aero blasters is to buy an ancient Nintendo on eBay I'm going to download the rom.
