    Are Steam hours on record accurate? Some bloke has 420 hours playtime on Sakura Spirits:eek:

    In fairness to him, perhaps he just passed out and left it running while he was in a fap coma?

    You know..... for 17 days or so.....

    Given that Humble have given it absolutely zero the amount of hype as their usual bundles, the whole thing feels like they're just humouring that guy from the office.

    Just a few hundred sales off the 75k mark now, it should easily outsell the Sekai Project bundle.

    I wonder if Humble Bundle will ever make the same amount of money they made from that EA bundle they had ages ago. It's crazy to think they raised €10m for charity for that.

    In fairness though, theyre all AAA titles for the most part (regardless of actual quality). plenty of folk would have seen that as an amazing deal.

    The suffering and the suffering ties that bind are now available on Gog. I think they are pretty awful games but some people seem to like them.

    In news about actually good games a release of Okami on pc ps4 and xbone has been leaked.

    It's making me sad every time I see SEGA promoting a game called Endless Space 2 because for a second I think it's Infinite Space 2 :(

    Supernatural stuff happening in a prison. Loads or gore and angst that will appeal to a teenager.

    It's hilarious that the Sakura Humble Bundle is probably the first time I've seen Steamgifts not be absolutely flooded with HB keys. People so badly don't wanna be seen buying it that they're not even giving it away for easy SG stats.

    FF12 finally beaten. Yiazmat was more a pain in the ass than actually difficult. Zodiark on the other hand was a complete bellend to beat. Overall I really liked it even if it has its flaws and there's far better RPGs out there. Big change from hating it. I think a lot of that is due to the fast forward options. It's a pity it was so rushed. Imagine FF12 with a storyline to match Tactics Ogre. If only.

    Time for sleep.

    Finished replaying Dishonoured there, but am now kinda Dishonoured out, so I need a break before starting on Dishonoured 2.

    I've started on Sleeping Dogs instead, couldn't get into it the first time around, but I'm really enjoying it so far.

    I'll be going back to Atelier Meruru but I'll also be playing something short, dumb and action orientated as a palette cleanser!

    Started up Sonic Mania and while it's fun it feels like the fan hack it kind of is. I'll stick with it but it's not too compelling although that might be the mood I'm in.

    Also started Binary Domain. Been wanting to get into Yakuza and remember this being described as Yakuza with guns and sci fi. I forgot how much fun shooting up the robots in this game is. Also has a Snatcher vibe off it. Hoping to stick with it until the end this time, the combat is so much fun.

    Am i the only one that picked up on this?! Amazing news! I never played it back on the PS2, but got it free with Plus at some stage. I remember starting it, and loving every second of the 30-odd hours i put into it, but some other game came out and i never went back to it!

    Really looking forward to see what it will look/run like!

    I like Okami a whole lot - bar the fact it has a bit of a bloat problem - but I do confess to struggling to get particularly excited about a remaster of a remaster, especially for a game that isn't even that old in the general scheme of things. Will be nice to have it available on PC for comparative perpetuity.

    A HD version of Okamiden, on t'other hand, I would be a tad more interested in :)

    Would love a Dead Space remastered trilogy.

    Doesn't even have to be remastered, those games probably still look pretty decent.

    I don't know, there's better games in my opinion. I found the first one runs out of ideas after the first 4 hours and gets repetitive and Dead Space 2 is a poor man's Resi 4.

    They're grand but nothing amazing. Eurogamer jokes about giving the first game a 7/10 but in my eyes the reviewer has right on the money. It's a solid 7/10 game.

    The only real standout was the sound design which even today is world class. Even in stereo it's fantastic. In Surround, it's amazing.

    A remaster isn't hurting anyone but it's one I'll be giving a miss.
