WWF Superstars on SNES hardware one year before LJN released WWF Super Wrestlemania.

Fans of the Ultimate Warrior will appreciate one of the legend's first appearances in a Fire Pro game. Since Warrior was just WWF
Heavyweight Champion at the time, his stats are noticeably very high in SFPW. I'd even go as far as saying the highest of any Fire
Pro title, arguably.



My go-to tag team: THE URBAN BLASTERS (Road Warriors)!

Currently playing Skyrim.

That's right, I bought (and 100%'d) the original release on PS3. Played a few hundred hours.

I bought (and 100%'d) the Special edition on PC so I could enjoy the modded Skyrim experience. Logged close to 1000 hours.

Recently got the jones to play a little Skyrim and couldn't be arsed to update all the drivers etc required to run mods on PC, so I looked online and the Anniversary edition was on sale for PS4, and this version included mod support.

Bought it, loving it. I've played a lot of Skyrim-like games in the last 12 years, but nothing quite hits like Skyrim does. I'll probably be playing it until Elder Scrolls 6 comes out in like 2034.

Aliens Dark Descent. Hard as hell but boy did they manage to capture the spirit of Aliens right down to the music and sound cues. In so many Aliens games we're used to seeing the Xenomorphs as cannon fodder and mowed down pretty easily, but even a group of three or four in this can make my marine squad think twice.

Once a Hive is alerted to the presence of intruders everything becomes a ticking time bomb. Xenos will come out and start patrolling for you and the longer you're present the more agitated the hive becomes until it eventually sends out a horde to find you. I've discovered regardless of your mission objectives when this happens, forget the mission, JUST GET OUT!!! Permadeath is very real in this game.

You can use your torches to weld yourself into a safe room allowing you to try and heal wounds, consolidate ammo, take some stress meds for any marines panicking. But even safe rooms can be breached if you become overly reliant on them as the Xenos will take to vents and I think bigger Xenos will eventually tear down secured doors if they're alerted to your presence in the location. I'm not positive about this but I know I had a welded door suddenly open up and Xenos start pouring in and I can only assume they eventually just tore it down unless they found another way in.

I haven't even had a squad of marines survive the first mission yet with the Xenos grabbing one of my guys who I was unable to retrieve. Another was wounded and unable to move so he had to be carried by another marine and the two of them made a fighting retreat to the ARC but never made it before being overwhelmed.

The USS Otago is caught up in an emergency protocol to contain what appears to be an intentional Xenomorph infestation and crash lands on the planet Lethe (Greek for Oblivion, I looked it up). The heavily damaged ship acts as your base of operations providing you a barracks with a roster of marines to recruit, customize and level up accordingly, all with their own good and bad personality traits. A Medbay to treat wounded marines that survive missions, a Lab and Workshop for weapon modifications and upgrades. You have the goal of trying to salvage materials to repair the Otago as well as deal with a growing Xenomorph infestation on the planet.

I actually bought it on PS5, but I like it so much I could see double dipping on the PC version when it goes on sale on Steam at some point. The text is so small I find it really hard to read on a TV screen.

Picked up Evil West and Wanted: Dead on discount. Have plowed through most of Evil West already. I would describe it as Nightmare Creatures meets God of War in terms of game play.
Pretty flimsy story and linear game play of explore area, come to arena section, fight several waves of enemies, continue on, repeat. That said, combat is satisfying as you're able to mix up your play style with numerous weapons and abilities and of course on the PS5 it's as smooth as silk and beautiful to look at. Hope to have it knocked out soon and get into Wanted and then maybe Gungrave if I get through it fast enough.

Trying to knock off some of the backlog to make room on the PS5 because the hype surrounding Baldur's Gate 3 has me interested enough to pick it up when it releases in a week or so and it's got a pretty hefty install of 98gigs.

I haven't done anything Dungeons and Dragons related in decades so it will be interesting to dive back in. The last Dungeons and Dragons game I played was that awful NES game which was so hilariously broken it was more fun to rent and watch my brothers play and become enraged by it. Spoony does a funny review of it www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTfCi59KCx8

Are there any other illustrations like these in the game? Or is it just these five?

I've been addicted to Shardpunk the last two weeks. It's a short game, I haven't beaten it yet but have been to the last level. Still, they nailed the gameplay and even the cheap retro style graphics look great. Every character plays differently and the battles are pretty intense and fun.

I also just picked up Battlebits Remastered which is the massive multiplayer shooter developed by 3 guys that is currently taking over the Steam FPS market at the moment with 254 player battles. Low on the graphics but high on the gampelay. It's kinda like if you combined MAG with Battlefield.

75% through They Are Billions on PC. This is probably the hardest RTS game I've ever played as it's beyond unforgiving. One tiny little mistake can snowball quickly and an hour of play gets flushed down the toilet. I was stuck at 33% for a couple months and was almost convinced I would have to restart the campaign, but a new strategy pushed me through. Although at 75% I am starting to grind against a wall again.

On the PS5 I've started up Aliens Dark Descent again now that it has undergone several big patch updates. Another brutally hard game that has that sinister addictive gameplay loop. Plus, like in any game where I can create and customize rosters I like putting people I know in.
The only thing I am changing on my next playthrough is the ability to have multiple save files instead of the harder difficulty two saves that overwrite each other. I had a game event glitch and it basically left me stuck with no earlier save to fall back on and there goes another hour of game I have to completely start over.

On Christmas break my brothers and a few of our friends are all going to play through Mario RPG Remaster on the Switch at the same time. We all played and beat the original on the SNES back when it came out, but none of us remember much about it, so we're going to kind've race each other.
