Seems Eurogamer have gotten rid of review scores. While some might think it's a good thing I can no longer scroll to the bottom to see if a game is worth my time and instead am hit with a wall of in work;tl;dr.

So, new Gunstar review will require reading?

DinoRex · 10-02-2015 12:38PM

It's a good start... now if videogame critics can get over obsession with other numbers like frame rates, resolutions, and poly counts we'll be getting somewhere.

Anyone Played Evoland on iOS or Steam yet?
Great idea, but not a great game unfortunately. Still, I liked the idea enough to pay full price on iPad and it's actually not so bad to play through (super short though).

I just started playing Monument Valley, seems lovely.
What else should I be playing on mobile? I'm on android btw

The Last Bandit · 10-02-2015 02:21PM

Star Wars: KOTOR was recently release on Android, plays well.

The Banner Saga, another decent game..

Tis absoloute pish alright. I've had an idea to do a game with that very same gimmick for ages. However what I lack and this game doesn't is the resolve to get anything finished

Only days until the new Ninty goodness pops through the letter box!
Am I wrong to be expecting earth shattering changes in life as we know it?
Don't they know in Nintendo anything less will mean heartbreak and tears?

I think you are right, I can not WAIT to get my hands on me new new 3ds on Friday. I know it's just a faster system with a nerp, but it's making me want to play a lot more 3ds games this year with the better 3ds and faster processing powering!

Remember when the DSiXL was announced/launched and the 3DS leaked? I wonder.......

Monument Valley DLC expansion is a must, even better than the main game.

Ridiculous Fishing lives up to its name and is wonderful.

Simogo's three latest games - Year Walk, Device 6 and The Sailor's Dream (not sure if the latter has reached Android yet) - are must plays, and far ahead of anything happening in most other titles in terms of storytelling.

DinoRex · 10-02-2015 04:19PM

Played 'Framed' recently and it's pretty neat.

And everyone should have 'Battle for Westnoth', it's a Shining Force style strategy RPG with hundreds of scenarios to play.

Retr0gamer · 10-02-2015 04:28PM

Framed is a lot of fun. Hideo Kojima's game of 2014 apparently.

Rhythm of the Fighters is excellent as well. It's a SNK king of fighters themed rhythm game based off the classic Dreamcast game Cool Cool Toon. It's free to play with tonnes of content and loads of DLC if you like it, but tbh if you go with the f2p version you are unlikely to ever run out of content. I bought a few music packs because it didn't seem fair getting so much for nothing.

The only thing it indicated is how desperate Sony are to get something back out of the pig's ear they've made of the Spiderman franchise.
Not seeing Fox jumping into bed with Marvel/Disney with the FF4 or XMen franchises.

A bigger deal for me at least is the good chance of seeing Simmons reprise JJ Jameson across the MCU!

Add much as I enjoy the MCU the Marvel movie I need to see is Deadpool, especially since the test teaser.

Another thing might be to see the webslinger in Agents of Shield.

DinoRex · 10-02-2015 06:28PM

One thing people seem to be forgetting is that the Civil War comics suuuuuuccccckkkkked!

Myrddin · 10-02-2015 06:55PM

I wouldn't be a fan of superhero films by any stretch, but I watched two of the three Nolan Batman films over the weekend. The Dark Knight, & Rises.....I found them seriously good

It's the realism really. You're probably similar to myself, I can't stand most superhero stuff at all. Once the cliched 'magical powers' come into it just ruins it for me.

CiDeRmAn · 10-02-2015 07:03PM

I'm going to take a lonely stand and mention I adored Watchmen and I'm sorry.
I've a soft spot too for The Shadow and the comic book inspired Skycaptain and the World of Tomorrow.
Sadly The Phantom lacked something, though Treat Williams was a great bad guy.
Ray Stevensons The Punisher was great ultra violent stuff and who can forget the superior Dredd a couple of years ago.

Also, there is only one Batman and his name is Michael Keaton.

I think I'm like that too.
On the subject of Bat man.
I liked Rises a lot, but it might have been because it was all Commissioner Gordon instead of Batman and Bane is hilarious. It really annoyed me at the end

when Batman is like "5 mins til the bomb goes off, any ska Catwoman?" They had to be there talking for longer than the bomb had to go off.

Still my favourite Batman and Returns is one if my favourite movies, I think it's great fun.

No, they were fairly concurrent and I think Keaton has the lead.
Conroy is an easy easy second though.
Kilmer and Clooney should be burned at the stake for what they did to the character though.
Here's hoping Ben doesn't fup it up!

johnny_ultimate · 10-02-2015 09:39PM

Ha! The only true Catwoman is Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, or Eartha Kitt. And Adam West didn’t need molded plastic to improve his physique. Pure. West. And why doesn’t Batman dance anymore? Remember the Batusi?
