I also discovered Sonic Robo Blast 2 recently. In an alternate timeline maybe this is what Sonic would have looked like on the Sega Saturn if we had gotten a 3D sonic game on the system. It's genuinely incredible, better or on par with the best official games Sega has put out.

Oh dear.

This video has convinced me NOT to buy the game.

The Fallout TV show episode 1 release date has been confirmed
23RD OCT 2023

The release date for Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout TV show has been announced.

A tweet from the official ‘Fallout on Prime’ account shows a new teaser video which seemingly confirms the date the first episode will be made available.

The video shows a computer terminal, which shows various messages including one that says “Holotape found: 101_The_End”.

It then ends with 04.12.24, implying that the first episode, titled The End, will be released on April 12, 2024.

Bethesda and Amazon confirmed in August that the Fallout TV show would be released in 2024, and is set in Los Angeles.

I think I know what my nephew's Christmas present is going to be. :)

Call of Duty can now take up over 200GB of space, but it’s complicated

Nov 3, 2023, 11:21 AM GMT

Ahead of the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III on November 10th, Activision has preemptively provided more details about the enormous file size of the game to explain why it’s “larger than last year.”

As reported by IGN, players with early access to the game’s single-player campaign found that the total file size for Call of Duty at installation — which also includes the Modern Warfare II campaign, Warzone, and Call of Duty HQ — now comes in at 234.9GB on PlayStation 5. For PC gamers, the file size is a slightly more palatable 172GB with the Modern Warfare II campaign and Warzone installed.

This looks Goddamn incredible.

You can even be a tripod and eat people (skip to later in video if you don't have time to watch the whole thing)!

I can't wait! If Shepard is not involved in any way, this person could be his/her descendent, a product from one of those "one night stand" scenes during the original trilogy, maybe?

To know is essentially the same as not knowing. The only thing that occurs is the rearrangement of atoms in your brain.

I tried to enjoy Mass Effect, but just couldn't get into it. Too much running around aimlessly, bland dialogue, annoying characters.

GTA VI: What we know about the long-awaited new Grand Theft Auto game

26 minutes ago

One of the most highly anticipated games of a generation is getting closer to being released.

Rockstar Games has confirmed that the trailer for GTA VI will be revealed in December - although there's still no release date for the game itself.

It has been 10 years since Rockstar Games released Grand Theft Auto V.

The fifth instalment in the franchise is the second best-selling video game of all time behind Minecraft, with more than 185 million copies sold.

Rockstar Games officially confirmed it was working on Grand Theft Auto VI in February 2022.

To bad, it was an enjoyable game I ended up playing Mass Effect 1-3.

My apartment and local neighbourhood – including a pettable cat.

Very hi-tech, but I think I'd rather live in London, tbh!

I utterly loved the first two games in the series.

Really looking forward to this 3rd one!

Looks wonderful. :) Added to my Steam wishlist. Reminds me strongly of Untitled Goose Game.
