Well I just set up my new Ps4 and have celebrated with playing The Nathan Drake Collection. I do love the Uncharted Games. Also have purchased a bunch of games from the PS store as they are having a gigantic sale. Awesome games especially Uncharted 4, if you like these i recommend the two Tomb Raider games they are both excellent. Thanks for the recommendation. I really can't wait for Uncharted 4. The only reason that I am waiting is to replay the original 3 again in glorious HD. Also timelord, since you gave me a recommendation, if you haven't already played them, the Batman games are really good and I know you like horror so The Evil Within or Resident Evil 7 might be games you might enjoy. But be warned, they are some of the scariest games I have played, especially when you play them on the hardest difficulty.

But be warned, they are some of the scariest games I have played, especially when you play them on the hardest difficulty. Just finished Res Evil 7 they added free DLC which adds about two hours to the game, i loved Res Evil 7 but disappointed at how short it was as i completed in 6 hours, i played Evil Within & loved it, i got Evil Within 2 for Christmas & looking forward to playing that along with Shadow Of War, Assassins Creed Origins & Dead Rising 4. Uncharted 4 is amazing, good story & a 20 hour main campaign, they just released a spin off called Uncharted: The Lost Legacy were you play as Chloe from Uncharted 2,3. Loved the Arkham Batman games, he's my favourite comic book character so these were always going to be a must play, Mark Hamills Joker is both hilarious & terrifying. The two Tomb Raider games are stunning & will provide you with good challenges, both are massive games with plenty of content.

Super Mario Odysessy again for me. About to make my way to Bowser's Kingdom, so after around 15 hours playing the game I guess I must finally be nearing the end. Fantastic how much story content Nintendo have included here.

Last July, I went back to an MMO text-based game I played on/off 1992-1995, extensively 1995-2000, less 2000-2004ish. No graphics-based game ever lived up to the complexity and freedom. There's no "winning". It's an open-ended sandbox of an MMO RPG game. (aka, a "MUD"). You can aim to make your character powerful as possible, you can aim to make the most money possible, you can aim to just roleplay. You can never join a guild (aka, a "class" in most games, such as barbarian or war mage), and play a commoner. You can do just about anything with a character. Unlike the vast majority of such games, you don't get experience from doing quests or whatever. You learn by doing things that teach a skill. Time + efficiency = experience. You gain X ranks in variety of skills, differing by guild. As you do so you gain a certain amount of points that can be allocated to character stats per rank. You also get an amount of such points whenever you circle ("level"), by having learned whatever ranks you had to for the next level. Unlike most of these games, you do not see the numbers that go into calculations regarding whether you hit, what you hit, how hard you hit, etc., or any other action with a varying probability of success; everything happens in English, which adds quite the degree of vagueness and guesstimation. The game is somewhat diminished, but it was truly enjoyable and strange to run into a few people I was friends with twenty years ago, when I was growing up. Getting used to a text-only MMO is a learning curve. That scene from The Matrix when the guy points at descending characters and says something like "there's the red lady" is rather on the nose. Once one has experience playing, one automatically starts reading only the things one needs to read. (I could post an example of what 30 seconds of combat looks like the next time I play).

I played some LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2 yesterday afternoon. Great fun playing as the Guardians of the Galaxy; love that Rocket has the ability to climb onto Groot's back like in the first Guardians movie.

Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy - I'm enjoying this game a lot. Still on the first Crash Bandicoot game at the moment; there's so much content in these remasters.

For some reason, I keep going back to HITMAN (2016). I've owned it for about a year and I'm still having fun with it.

Telltale Games Batman
I was visiting a friend and we decided to play this. It had a group play feature where other people in the room can vote on the choices. As best we could tell it just selects a choice randomly from the votes.
There were some things we liked, such as the characterization of Harvey Dent, but mostly it leans too heavily on grimdark alternate character interpretations for cheap and lazy drama. Also, for the “World’s Greatest Detective”, Batman is shockingly lax when it comes to performing basic due diligence about almost everyone he encounters.
It also has the failing common to Telltale Games where the outcome is preordained regardless of your choices. Do you pull the switch? Oh no! Doing that drops the commissioner into a vat of acid! Do you NOT pull the switch? Too bad! Pulling it would have saved the commissioner. Obviously, accounting for every player choice would require vastly greater resources, but I’d like to see at least a token effort to make it seem like my choices matter.

Still hoping they remaster the first three Spyro The Dragon games eventually, those were classic games and a huge part of my childhood and I still have the original discs, revisiting them (well, the first two, the third disc is too scratched to play properly) now and again when I'm feeling nostalgic, a remaster with better graphics and maybe some new bonus content would be great.

Yes, a Spyro remaster would be great. My Mum loves Spyro so it would be amazing to be able to get her a remaster like that for the PS4.

Evil Within 2, loved it, a vast improvement on the original with a far better storyline for Sebastian.

As long as they kept his original design and not the wizard creepy lizard version from the skylanders games in recent years.
