done(I think)

It'll be interesting at what bit they choose to adapt, it's so sprawling and unwieldy and densely packed with characters

That's a pretty quick turn around for Dr Strange 2.

@NagoFF the top of my head there is nothing crucial plot wise between the two if you did do it the other way around, spider man is a much better film though. DrS2 was a little bit shit IMO

Ted Lasso is great, genuinely one of my favourite shows from the last few years. First couple of episodes are a bit naff but after that it never dips. I've zero interest in football as well.

Hidden & Dangerous is apparently a 5/5 game though, surprised more people don't talk about it when they mention classic Dreamcast games

I remember that, it's a really addicitive and immersive strategy shooter IIRC

I quite enjoyed both trailers, although the second one is better and I have no real investment in Resi as a franchise. It already looks better than all of the films.

I find Avatar strange in that it's the biggest grossing film of all time and no one really cares about it. Image the next film will break the top 5 biggest grossing as well. I guess with the first one it was the first proper 3d feature length film that came out, so that probably helped.

@Nag you might like it, it has similar beats to Aliens, although much more colourful and teen friendly and the marines are the baddies and not the goodies. Also it is shit as well.

This isn't really answering the question, but also seems like the best place to put it as I've not really played enough to comment in the thread, but I started Guardians of the Galaxy the other night and that feels like the most "next-gen" game I've played so far on my S. It looks pretty impressive for the most part, especially the animations of the characters. It is still a bit uncanny valley/dead behind the eyes, but it's getting closer. Not sure about the game as a whole yet, but it certainly looks impressive

next Tuesday, via the membership, Everything, Everywhere All at Once. Which I am genuinely looking forward to.

Same, going to the Tuesday preview as well, which pushed Dr Strange 2 back by a week for me.

I saw The Northman the other week and it was excellent, really visceral and grubby but also a bit oddly filmed as well (in keeping with Eggers other two films from what I understand, I haven't actually seen them yet) that really lent into the Norse myth/reality thing they where going for.

I had a good time with Yokus Island express so that's worth grabbing if you've never played it and you like low stakes pinball based platform games.

Who is it?

Well I will never buy another SEGA console again off the back of this.

Thats handy, I nearly bought Assassins Creed Oranges the other week. Pays to be indecisive

Pretty certain that wasn't the reason Edge choose though @Jimbo Xiii... they painted it as an unplayable mess.

Fair enough. Edge gonna edge

Dead Island was a great game... Edge completely lost their head up their own arse with that score.

Didn't dead island lose a lot of good will because of the misleading teaser trailer that pitched it as a totally different game?

I’m vaguely interested. But not excited.

My wife says that to me a lot...

I also saw Sonic 2, I thought it was both a bit shit and also okay. I preferred the first one as having a random blue hedgehog placed in a normal world fish out of water thing worked quite well and was probably much better than it really should have been (plus my oldest son loves it, so it's been on heavy repeat in our house) whereas 2 seemed to lean into the game references much more which was cool, but also it's total nonsense but not necessarily in a good way. I did think during the first third that it might actually be terrible but it does pull it back by the end.

There is one game that uses the L and R buttons when you close the DS - one of the only games to be allowed to get round the sleep mode function - and it's a slice of genius.

That was why I remembered this

Wait hang on it's only 3 months. Got over excited then. Thought it was going to be part of the bundle

 

 

 

I'll take 3 months of Marvel Unlimited, that'll give me time to blitz through a few things.

Off topic, but related, the Shonen Jump comic app works out about £1.50 a month and has loads of content, really good value.

I really hope they bring those 3d picross games to the switch at some point

@Maf Edited a spoiler tag into your post

Titles Leaving Xbox Game Pass on 15th March 2022

 

Nier: Automata (Cloud, Console, and PC)

Typical I've just downloaded that as well

I hope they leave it alone and don't cut it for a 12. That being said, Dark Knight goes places and managed a 12a
