Old School Rally
Heavily inspired by Colin McRae Rally on the PS1 and it looks the part but the car handling really lets in down. Unresponsive at stirred, brakes are too sticky and pace notes are called to late and not together.
Parking Garage Rally Circuit
Fun little circuit time trial mode in the demo with arcade controls (hold X to drift and earn boost like Mario Kart). Kind of game where you will spend time perfecting your run to try and save milliseconds. It has the visuals of a Sega Saturn/Arcade game which is cool.
- Comment on The N64 2 weeks ago:
N64 is one of my favourites but also the hardest to go back to after all these years.
- Comment on What are some excellent free games/total conversions that are worth playing the whole thing? 2 weeks ago:
Never heard of BAR before so thanks for this. Looks amazing and can’t wait to try.
- Comment on Who is subscribing to Game Pass, PS Plus and Nintendo Switch Online, and why? 3 weeks ago:
I have barely any subscriptions for anything anymore and once Gamepass expires (I did the £1 upgrade offer) I will not renew.
I just chop and change to whatever I want for the month but overall I don’t really use many paid services anymore.
- Comment on What are some eras of gaming that you've stopped feeling nostalgic for? 4 weeks ago:
Even though I grew up with 8/16bit I’ve never really had any nostalgia for it apart from a select few games.
- Comment on The PlayStation 2 1 month ago:
I didn’t own a PS2 until about 2006 when I lived with my girlfriend (now wife!) but even then it was replaced with an Xbox 360 the next year.
I’m a Dreamcast and GameCube kid and I do love the PS1 but just haven’t got any nostalgia for PS2.

You won’t believe what happened next…
No one likes post like these so please give more context next time.
- Comment on Cities Skylines 2: "Beach properties assets are all gone and my city is screwed. Thanks a lot." 1 month ago:
I haven’t played it yet and every time I get reminded of the game it’s because of something like this…
- Comment on The Sega Dreamcast 2 months ago:
I think the 3 main reasons why are lack of DVD player, lack of 3rd party support and then the player base losing confidence because of the Saturn.
DCJY podcast Ep.100 is great for this and has an interview with Peter Moore that gives some details.
- Comment on The Sega Dreamcast 2 months ago:
It wasn’t really an issue while the console was still alive though, at least not until very near the end at least. It would have became a massive issue if the console continued though.
- Comment on SteamWorld Heist 2 - Official Reveal Trailer 2 months ago:
SWH is excellent so the same and more please.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass For April Includes Day One Releases Harold Halibut And Botany Manor 2 months ago:
I’m really looking forward to Harold Halibut.
I avoided the demo last month because of spoilers and have barely read or watched anything about the game in anticipation.
- Comment on More ways to play your GOG games with Amazon Luna 2 months ago:
buying games on GOG (directly on our service or via Luna) will give you the best of both worlds – enjoying them on Luna’s cloud gaming service, as well as via offline installers or GOG GALAXY.
This sounds pretty good but not really something I would use GOG for unless it is included in Amazon Prime.
- Comment on What are the best indie games you've ever played? 3 months ago:
Citizen Sleeper, one the the best games, not just indie.
- Comment on Favourite developers 3 months ago:
Developers change so much that it is hard to have a favourite anymore.
SCS are doing a great job with ETS2 and ATS, supporting the game and releasing/updating DLC regulary. It feels like a true passion project for them.
Most of favourites are small indie developers and games like Live For Speed, Software Inc, Ostriv.
- Comment on Something about The Finals 3 months ago:
If you want a game that runs poorly then check out Squad…
Something definitely seems off about the 2070 if it is struggling at 1080p so don’t give up yet. You might still get to play if you diagnose what’s wrong.
- Comment on Physical or Digital? 3 months ago:
I don’t really have a strict on or the other preference anymore.
Nintendo 1st party stuff I always buy physical, Dreamcast I collect for so that’s physical too but for Xbox I buy mostly digital when on sale. I guess for Xbox its different because I have Gamepass (the £1 upgrade deal they used to offer, still 18 months remaining, but I won’t renew) so I haven’t bought a new game in like 2 years now. The there is PC… My games are all over the place!
Plus with a family we just dont have the space to keep everything forever that we buy anymore.
- Comment on Looking for emotional game recommendations 3 months ago:
It took me a couple tries with DS too. The first few chapters don’t do it justice but once you get past that it’s just amazing.
- Comment on Looking for emotional game recommendations 3 months ago:
Death Stranding had me all over the place. Also the first episode of Telltales The Walking Dead*.
Basically anything with kids can set me off and I find somewhat difficult nowadays as I have children of my own.
- Comment on What adventure games do you recommend? 3 months ago:
I like the Runaway series. Well its been a long long time since I played but I remember them being good.
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 3 months ago:
Planetbase
I’m on the lookout for challenging survival management/city building games if anyone can recommend one? Something like Banished, This War of Mine or Frostpunk.
- Comment on New Crazy Taxi Game Will Be Live Service with a '100-Person Survival Mode' 3 months ago:
I wasn’t expecting much but this news is disappointing. Hopefully the remake and live-service game are completely separate from one another.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
I don’t have any input as a dav but I do enjoy finding, learning about and playing open source games. There is something about it that I find interesting and although most of them are not great I check back every so often on my favourites.

Is it April 1st already?
- Comment on Introducing: Skull and Bones Ship's Wheel Controller 4 months ago:
They really went all out on this but the gameplay just looks so boring…
- Comment on [GOG] [GAME] FlatOut Free 4 months ago:
Flatout is one of my favourites and has an awesome soundtrack. Also was one of my first PC games and didn’t realise that was 20 years ago.
- Comment on Xbox is still committed to making consoles, says boss Phil Spencer 4 months ago:
We’re talking video games here. Nothing else.
- Comment on Xbox is still committed to making consoles, says boss Phil Spencer 4 months ago:
I’m about to blow your mind…
You get to decide.
You decide where to (or not to) buy and play the games you want. Like I said there is no requirement to stick to 1 platform and you honestly sound so wound up by this opinion I’m astounded.
- Comment on Xbox is still committed to making consoles, says boss Phil Spencer 4 months ago:
That’s a odd stance to take. How would you be a thousand times happier if consoles didn’t exist?
Consoles still have their place in gaming and to think otherwise is somewhere ignorant. Just live the best of both worlds like the rest of us and don’t get so wound up!

Mass Effect 2
I started it about a year ago so finally have gone back to finish it off. Normally I play paragon but I’m going (mostly) renegade this time.
