Last video game you played

The first Uncharted.

Got really into Kerbal Space Program lately. Still unable to land on the moon in without becoming a fireball, but getting there.

Also on a completely different note, been doing some Verdun with mates. A simple and addictive WW1 shooter.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars

I've been playing Cyberpunk myself now 72 hours in
I didn't get it until the shops reopened and Game had it at a reduced price - so I didn't start playing until after patch 1.20 so avoided the worst technical issues - still had 2 crashes (one after 1.23 installed) plus a load of glitches and bugs...
A woman floating in mid-air where the driving seat of her car had been
an unexpected man in the passenger seat of a car who somehow get's into the boot while the car is moving
completing a mission successfully only to then get a message saying I've failed it...

my first attempt at one mission involving a stalker ended in a shambles as I totally lost track of what was going on and was attacked by a gang at the same time I was fighting the stalker (with orders not to kill the stalker) and after defeating the stalker V became incapable of fighting while the gang was still attacking... I've no idea how I completed that succesfully... 

I've tried the cars and decided to focus on the motorbikes instead

despite the bugs, design issues and the feeling it should have been much better, I am overall enjoying it

Just finished James Bond 007: Blood Stone. Not played it in many years, but thought I’d give it another go in the lead up to No Time to Die.

It was good to play again and I enjoyed it a lot. I forgot that it had a title sequence and an original Bond song! Gameplay wise, I don’t think it’s aged much. The driving missions suffer from being pre-Skyfall and the lack of gadgets that Craig’s era had at that time. A gadget ladened DB5 or DBS would’ve brought those missions to life. The graphics have aged, as it was from that time where a strange paint like quality was added to try and make them feel more lifelike.

The story itself is quite meandering in the end in an effort to be a big globe trotting adventure, but having Craig, Dench & Kinnear reprise their roles really helps paper over that. It definitely peaks in Siberia, which is very well realised. You can tell there was plans for a sequel, but the mystery posed retroactively ties in with SPECTRE nicely. It’s also a mission for Craig’s Bond that helps that transition between Quantum and Skyfall. Both of these points actually made for a better replay this time round. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, eh?

I still maintain that Blood Stone was sorely overlooked by the bizarre decision to release GoldenEye Reloaded on the same day. I will be playing that next, however.

Just completed Super Mario Bros. The original.

Just finished the reimagined GoldenEye 007 from 2010, with Daniel Craig as Bond. Really enjoyed it. Gameplay wise, it’s still the best shooter the Wii had.

Story wise, it’s appropriately reimagined, keeping the basis of the story but making slight amendments to better suit Craig’s Bond and his era. It feels more physical, which I like, but I think the story does suffer a touch from not having the nine year gap of the film and the original game. It ends up making Alec’s transition to head of the Janus Syndicate very quick and not so believable. I’m not entirely sure how you could do it, but a pre-Casino Royale opening would’ve been nice, with the bulk of the game being post-Quantum of Solace. Speaking of which, like Blood Stone, it’s another mission for Craig’s Bond that helps that transition between Quantum and Skyfall, which I’m all for.
