Anyone tried Mafia Old Country yet?

Worth the £45 or just wait until it is on offer?

It Takes Two has honestly been the most fun I've had this generation, so so good. Can't wait to move on to Split Fiction afterwards.

Started playing Snowrunner last night as it’s free on Gamepass (series x).
It’s superb but my grasping of the controls so far would be the good old Scottish saying “Coo wi a gun” 🤣

This looks absolutely brilliant and something to play with the kids.

Recently started playing a game called "The Alters" I find it strangely addictive. It's a sci-fi/survival/exploration kinda game. It's free on game pass ATM. I would recommend giving it a go.

This better not disappoint. Spent many of my young holidays on the original spending 10p a credit, sticking your coin on the machine to get in queue.

Hollow Knight Silksong - a beautiful game to behold.

A b**tard c**ting sadistic f**ker of a w*nk b*tch to play through. It is so cruel at times. Somehow, my monitor and controller are still intact and my mental state is stable. But I'm not sure for how much longer. I have put about 20 hours into it so far and unlocked about 8% and that has been a slog.

TLDR; Some sections and boss fights are quite tricky.

Have you considered doing game reviews?

My brand new digital PS5 makes a crackling noise whilst running. could be the fan maybe? Anyone else’s do this?

 

[Adamm.]

If it's brand new I'd just exchange it tbh certainly doesn't sound normal.

 

[Willo40]

As above it shouldn't be crackling or making much noise at all if it's brand new.

I got a PS5 about 6 weeks ago, it definitely doesn’t make that noise.

Gotcha. Will try and return it then!

Tried Skate in the past but always been more of a Tony Hawks fan myself but the new skate been popping up everywhere on my algorithm so decided to give it a go. It's quite a lot of fun some of the stunts are ridiculous.

I hate these bloody teaser trailers without any gameplay!

Japan with the exact same cars/mods dropped in surely?

I hope Turn10 don’t mess this one up, like they did with the last Forza.

It's playground games for this. Microsoft pretty much laid off half of T10 which pretty much confirms the death of FM. Not sure they will ever do another one.

I think Japan was inevitable. Some Japanese car packs and Fujimi Kaido being back at least pointed in the right direction and people have been asking for years. Feels like it's been forever since Horizon 5 came out.

 

[SharkyUK]

I started out playing stealthily, but then got bored.

It's a good looking game.

Balkan Car Dealer simulator looks wild 😂

I'm slightly addicted to Megabonk 🤣

What’s this, unsure if I can google it without it demanding my passport details?

It's safe, seems to be really popular right now so gave it a try.

FFS, I mentioned this to my missus and she got the wrong idea. She is now upstairs making herself sexy, just so I can spend 13 seconds disappointing her. Sigh.

I've lasted longer in Megabonk
