General gaming discussion

If you don't mind Star Wars, then the Force Unleashed is pretty much this. You can have an immense amount of fun with it if you know exactly what you are getting into

For over the top unhinged havoc and destruction nothing beats the Just Cause series.

I couldn't see a game where mass murdering people as a superhero would work out. If they were to release it, you'd be the good guy preventing it. Times be too sensitive these days!

But yes, I'd love a Boys type game too.

If you look closer you will see that any bad guy you knock off a building is automatically webbed to the side. The Arkham games do something similar.

I'm sure the next person coming into the office might notice a guy webbed to the outside of the window!

I was browsing Steam last night, trying out some new games, particularly of the cinematic platformer variety (or very near it), since Flashback 2's trailer has me all warm and fuzzy with excitement.

Discovered 'The Way' (which I've had on Switch for years but never touched it), 'The Fall' and 'Black The Fall' (unrelated).

I've found myself more drawn towards 'Black The Fall'. Very much comparable to 'Inside', from the stealth right down to controlling other NPCs with your mind to solve puzzles. I haven't gotten very far so I'm hoping to stick with it. The Fall - I got 5 minutes into it and I was already stuck. It felt like a point and click adventure game, in that I have to pick up an item and hope it's the item that'll combine with another item - not a huge fan of them, nor the massive character models. I don't know if I'll go back. The Way seems more down my alley, but I might keep that for when I'm in bed with the Switch.

I got Uncharted Legacy Of Thieves Collection (A Thief's End & The Lost Legacy) a few days ago.

It was a while since I played them so I'm looking forward to see how they play on the PS5.

There's a thread here:

Not played it yet myself but planning on picking it up next week

Played the first few levels of TMNT Shredders Revenge. Pretty fun. Kind of a simpler Streets Of Rage 4 due to fewer pickups and no weapons. Fewer enemy types too. Can feel fairly sluggish at times, particularly trying to jump. But still, it's a good bit of fun so far.

I assume for online co-op, friends need a copy of the game? Was hoping that it might be like It Takes Two where one would suffice but more wishful thinking than anything.

I've heard coop is where the game shines but it sounds like its excellent in single player too thankfully.

Awesome, will pick it up on Steam over the weekend. Looking forward to it now!

Playing Rebel Cops that's currently on 1.50 on psn, and i love it / hate it. I can't get past the first level but i can't stop playing it. Get a bit further each time and i love the mechanics (except you can't rotate the map which is very annoying) but man it's tough. Might drop to easy mode to see if it's still fun but maybe then i can clear the first level!

Oh, I do like the look of Hellsinger. Shall wait patiently. Not enough metal games out there!
