Saw it today in imax. What a film. Even better than the original. More aerial sights to be seen and the final act was thrilling.

Enjoyed the first episode, only issue I had was the exaggerated accents. Felt like I was watching Eastenders.

I’m hyped for this and I’m actually enjoying Horizon forbidden west. Will have to come back to it. Shame. I picked it up on ps5 as I didn’t have a good experience with their previous pc ports. DF said the best way to play it on PlayStation is the PS4 version on PS5 in performance mode. I’ve downloaded both versions to test graphic fidelity. Once you go 60fps it’s hard to go back to anything lower for me. I’ve been playing forbidden west in performance mode due to how much better it feels to move and shoot things.

Oh dear interesting game. Still can’t make sense of it’s mechanics. But damn, it’s one ugly looking shooter, the scaling or bgart shimmers like crazy. Unsure how they could release it like this. I’m playing on ps5 too. It’s well weird. It’s really unimpressive compared to what’s been released by indie developers. This should really be £15, they charged way too much for this.

Playing on steam with mouse and keyboard looks and plays stunning. Music is lovely too. Looks nice, sharp and vivid. Goes without saying that Nightdive does it again. Z-Clip Emulation, anyone have any idea what that does? Looking forward to John’s take on DF on this and MVG.

Anyone know if there any places to preorder standard or limited physical copies of Klonoa and Live-A-Live yet? If not anyone know the best places to keep an eye on whether they are Japanese or western versions?

Demon Slayer - Kimetsu no Yaiba, love this show with a passion. Not sure how they manage to animate such epic battles. They are so wonderfully animated, brutal and tense. The entertainment arc and the film have been astounding.

The podcast is brilliant, love seeing them bounce and laugh off each other telling their stories. Latest episode is the first in video form. https://youtu.be/W4NVPRKqrN4

Bob Saget - Full house - RIP

There was one that was missed from my list. They always run - haven’t heard of this one before but looks really good. Very style 2d action game. Thanks Secret Santa & JPR!

Thanks Secret Santa and JPR! Received Omori Yuppie Psycho Some really different games to get stuck into, hopefully my mental health will be ok.

Enjoyed this, do feel it could have done with a bit of a trim. It is definitely a parallel to what’s been going on the last couple of years. It can be very heavy handed but I think it needs to be.

All done and sent to JPR earlier.

That rage against the machine cover is everything that The Matrix Resurrections is. I thought it started off really strongly and then at the hour mark it completely dived into a strong message about feminism, gender and wokeness. I’m all fine for films having a message and making people think but it was really hitting it hard. Think I suffered from blunt force trauma. The worst part about it is the action and cinematography, all the previous films were very stylish and pushed the action to new places. You could see how expressive it was. I don’t know how they messed that up so bad, shame they didn’t get Yuen Woo-Ping (I’m guessing he’s retired) or someone of his calibur. The soundtrack was terrible.

Enjoying the game itself. But the story delivery and dialogue is really mediocre. Hologram Villian just going on and on. The pilot guy is one of the worst characters I’ve come across in a long time. Wish Master Chef would give him a slap.

Count me in. PM sent.

Preferred the fincher version. Awful ending.

Thought it played really well. But yeah looks like a ps3 game. Really suprised Square released a demo in this stage, looks really really rough. I thought the darkness of it was my tv, glad others are reporting the same. Couldn’t see anything.

Just put on the Synapse release of Dario Argento’s Suspiria. It’s absolutely stunning with fantastic hdr and a Dolby atmos audio track. Well worth picking up!

This is the weakest in the series I’ve played. Combat is a bore, I hope they don’t do it again for the next one. If they do, they will need to speed it up and fix its issues. Fed up seeing characters trying to pivot around the environment. Good on them trying something different but they failed spectacularly. Hopefully they go back to the beat em up style of the previous games, give it a combo system or make it more dynamic.

As for R-Type Final 2 it’s also available to preorder physical in English on Nis-Europe. There’s an inaugural and limited editions for Xbox One, PS4 and Switch. https://store.nisaeurope.com/collections/pre-order

Yeah I rotated it, tried playing with the joycons attached. Will try it with a controller pro instead. It was released by Nicalis - https://store.nicalis.com/products/ikaruga?variant=35737241452709 Appears to be sold out now, I picked up mine off eBay.

Love the cotton reboot, picked it up on ps4. So easy to learn, I love giant numbers on the playfield! Preordered the physical switch limited edition now. Also picked up ESP Ra.De. PSI on switch, one of my favourite cave shooters, that Drive Waves 2019 mix is fantastic. Found it available on Apple Music to download. I also picked up Ikaruga on switch too physical recently too. Another I never knew was released. I tried Tate mode on this by using the switch in handheld mode but the controls were still in the horizontal mode. :/
