Yeah, bought these on steam in addition to the games I last posted: Crypt of the Necrodancer (PC) - £5.49 LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 (PC) - £2.49 Castle Crashers (PC) - £0.99 LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga (PC) £5.09 Super Time Force Ultra (PC) - £3.29 Legend of Korra (PC) - £2.87 Road Redemption (PC) - £5.99 None of which were on my wishlist apart from Road Redemption, just fancied them cause of the deals, just can't resist a bargain!

No idea, Duck. It's probably at least £400 as I bought a New 3DS which was £210 alone, didn't buy much in January, February or March I don't think...so yeah, at least £400 but I'm scared of working it all out to be honest Possibly...depends how much of a drought this Summer is for games really, if I get through Batman:AK quite quickly, I've only got Yoshi's Wooly World coming after and that won't take too long, so from mid-July to September I should have plenty of time to work through my 190 game backlog on Steam/GOG, but, yeah, probably won't play half of them, maybe a quarter, depends which types of games I play and how long they take I suppose.

Finished it off the Single Player campaign today, took me about 5 hours or so to clock it I think. Here's my brief review of it below: Really enjoyed it, a lovely change of pace from the usual kind of games I play nowadays, sprinkled with Nintendo's magic, ingenuity and innovation throughout, the main-platforming levels are where the game shines the most, they're really nicely designed and well thought out, I could've done with a few more levels (5 more Worlds or 27 more levels to do would've been perfect) and maybe cutting out the multiplayer maps redesigned as Campaign levels, but other that than I really don't have much to complain about, the bosses were all really unique and interesting, but could've been a little harder for my liking. The Final Boss really threw a curve ball at me, as it was much more difficult and the fight itself lasted much longer than I thought it would, the adrenaline was pumping, the heart was racing and I really didn't expect that from a boss in this game considering what pushovers the bosses were before the final one. I found the Multiplayer side of things just as entertaining and innovative as the single player campaign, but unfortunately it got a little repetitive and tedious for my liking after about 7 or so hours of play, once I reached Level 10 and unlocked the Ranked matches I pretty much threw in the towel, but enjoyment just wasn't there anymore and I felt I'd got all the enjoyment I could've got out of the game, just wasn't compelled to play any longer. I like the mechanics of the Multiplayer modes, the variety in weapons and the differing abilities the footwear and clothing gives your character but unfortunately it didn't do enough for me personally to stop the boredom setting in. I still think Splatoon is worth trying though, it's quite a bit different than anything I've played in a long time. The game Splatoon reminds me of the most is Super Mario Sunshine, as the paint mechanic is somewhat somewhat similar to the paint mechanics employed in that game, but even then the entire Third-Person-Shooter perspective puts a new spin on things and makes it feel sufficiently different to its 3D platforming counterpart under the house of Mario. In summary, a somewhat flawed, innovative shooter that must be experienced to be believed. 7/10

Yeah, was good to get back into the swing of things, picked things up much quicker than I thought I would, just need some new higher class armour to stop getting one-shot killed and I'll be fine

Loved the original on Vita, and have pre-ordered Unfolded. Don't know how the motion/fourth-wall breaking controls are going to work, but I think if anyone can pull it off MM can.

Made almost all the same decisions as you, Nag, I chose:

Yeah, you're right, Nag, compared to some expansion/season passes etc. the TW3 one will probably be quite good and is a pretty decent price at £20, CDPR are a decent studio and I think they'll want to put out a couple of decent expansions. I think I just expected more hours is all, I expected Oblivion-length Expansions and they aren't really at that length is all, that and I've been burnt with buying Season passes in the past, they'll probably end up being decent additions to the game, I know, but I'll probably wait and have a look at the reviews when the first pack comes out before taking the plunge.

15 hours each, 30 hours total I heard, that's what was advertised on GOG.com anyway, unless I read it wrong of course

I'm still undecided about the Expansions, apparently they're only 30 hours in length for both of them, which doesn't really sound like long enough to me, that and October is bound to be chock-fill of games.

Played another 3 hours today, 1 hour 15 on SP, 1 hour 45 on MP. Finished World 4 off today and discovered all the Kettles in World 5 ready to dive into, will hopefully finish it off tomorrow. Things have definitely got a tad harder in the SP and I found myself dying a bit more and the platforming bits ramped up the difficulty as you'd expect, the World 4 boss was awesome once again as well, looking forward to seeing this Final boss you all keep going on about tomorrow Didn't do so well on MP today, was using the Roller as usual, but I don't think the maps today (Mall and Skatepark) really suited it, so I didn't do anywhere near as well as I had been doing, regularly came second 600-800p average, got upto Level 10 though and then dived into the Ranked Matches in the King of the Hill style game mode. I liked it quite a lot, although I found it much more frustrating than the regular matches, with more emphasis on shooting each other rather than just painting shit, changed up all my clothes/headwear/shoes and weapon as well, all 2 star now, got the Kracken Roller, don't know how much more the MP I've got left in me though to be honest I was getting a bit annoyed with it today.

Picked up X-COM:The Complete Edition and the GTA III Trilogy yesterday, my first two purchases of many I'm sure

I don't mind either way really, I watch quite a few series on Sky on a weekly basis (Hannibal, The Affair, Wayward Pines, Game of Thrones) but love the ease of being able to binge-watch stuff on Netflix, think I watched the majority of Daredevil in 1 Saturday afternoon/evening, it was just that damn compelling for me, same with House of Cards as well. Currently upto Ep. 5 on Sense8, I like it much more than I thought I would, it's interesting and pretty compelling I must say, the first Episode is a bit much to take in, but once you get to know the characters and get used to them, it's a decent watch. And, of course, Orange is the New Black season 3 today! Can't wait to watch it later, although I hope it's more like Season 1 than Season 2.

Reveal trailer: Games Montage: Oculus Exclusives: Edge of Nowhere by Insomniac: Chronos by Gunfire Games (ex. Vigil Games devs): Out Q1, 2016, will ship with an XB1 GamePad, can stream XB1 games to it and play games in a "Virtual Theatre" environment.

Yeah, please

Got upto Level 9 in the MP yesterday, spent 2 hours on there and 1 on the SP Campaign. Started to see the limitations of the SP campaign a bit yesterday, I'm still enjoying it far more than I thought I would, but some of the levels do seem like a bit of an afterthought, this is in the minority though, most of them seem hand-crafted to Ninty's usual high-standard, but yesterday and today I got 2 levels which were just multi-player maps, but with SP objectives put into them pretty much, they didn't make much sense at all, and differed massively from the linear platform-focus of the majority of the levels in the game, just feels bizarre to go from this semi-space-age futuristic platform-style levels to this gigantic skatepark environment, just felt odd. Still enjoying it anyway, finished off World 3 yesterday and moved onto World 4, which I'll finish off today. Before I went on the MP I bought the Roller from the shop and was using that throughout my MP-session, so different to using the standard gun, different tactics and stuff involved, much more focused on painting rather than shooting, which I like, also bought some new headwear, shoes and clothes from the shops too which gave me a few different abilities to use, been doing rather well, won the majority of the matches I played yesterday and have been getting top of the most leaderboards with 1000p+ everytime almost, pretty cool. Also, another special mention to the music, I just can't stop myself from humming it! Both in the MP and SP campaign.

Currently on Steam for 55% off so I'm gonna jump in, loved it on the 360 but never really had time to play it more than 12 hours or so, for £6.74 I just can't say no just got to wait until the end of the Summer to make sure it doesn't go down even more.

Today's the day, guys and girls. STEAM SUMMER SALE! Should start about 6pm UK time. Always remember:

Yeah, sorry, meant I'm glad 4-player online co-op is back, I've adjusted the post now.

There's no way you can wander off from the current mission and hunt down a Blacksmith in a town?

I'm tempted to plonk my Squid amiibo down on the gamepad but that'd mean getting it out of the packaging, which I kind of didn't wanna do... What extras do you get in game from the amiibo's? Some bits of clothing and the roller to use in an SP mission? Played my first 3 hours on this today, did an hour and 40 minutes of the SP campaign, and an 1 hour, 20 minutes of the MP. I liked the SP campaign far more than I thought I would, it was full of charm, I liked the platforming and the boss fights are awesome, easy sure, but still awesome, finished the first two worlds in the single player and then moved onto the multiplayer side of things. I was impressed with the lack of lag and how quick it was to get into a game, I also liked the little mini-game that you can play whilst waiting in the lobby, didn't like only having to play on 2 maps the entire time, but I understand they swap out every hour or something? A little new bulletin popped up in-game just as I was logging off telling me there was new maps to play with so I assume that's the way things go down. The MP itself is really cool, I found myself really enjoying it, it does seem a bit shallow though and may become repetitive after 10+ hours of play or something, but for now I'm enjoying it anyway, it feels fresh, unique and a lot of fun. It was quite interesting to see some people in the games I was in play it as a typical deathmatch-style shooter though, some guys and girls didn't have any points at all, didn't try and paint the map in the slightest and just tried to splat the opposition team. Got upto Level 5 in the MP, working towards Level 10 so I can unlock the ranked matches, not bought any clothes or weapons or anything yet, got quite a few coins it seems. Planning to play another hour of the SP and and 2 hours of the MP tomorrow.

Pleased to see 4-player co-op is back in there H5, will probably play through the campaign in co-op, dabble with a bit of multiplayer and then sell it on, can't see the MP gripping me if it's still the same mechanics, got ADS etc. that the Beta had.

I'll just use Skype if anyone fancies Voice chatting on there to be honest, it's annoying but not a huge deal to me.
