PC gaming master race?

Bang. We were talking about this in the office this week.

When I first played split screen golden eye, I really struggled to understand the hype.

Yeah I liked Dave the Diver though my interest wained towards the end. Have you played dredge? Feels like those two games scratch similar itches.

I bought Dredge and a couple of the addons the other day as they’re on sale. A couple of hours in so far and I’m enjoying it, especially the Lovecraftian feel of things at night. Feels a bit easier to dip in and out of of the game too.

Yeah I had fun. I wasn't tempted by any of the DLC but might have been had I got it all at the same time.

I've bought quite a few games in the steam sale already which should probably last me a year.

New Life is Strange. Looking good so far!

Rosemary Jest Played through Firewatch yesterday and a couple of hours this morning to its conclusion. Get the feeling I might have missed a few things but I got to the end which was satisfyingly unsatisfying, rather than simply unsatisfying, as many reviews of the game have said.

I really enjoyed it - nothing strenuous whatsoever in terms of gameplay. It's more of an experience. It's very pretty to look at but best of all are the two main characters, you and your contact in the park. They're very believable, wonderfully voiced and I bought into them as people and the relationship between them straight away. The plot is secondary and not amazing but it does enough to hang the characters on. Best of all and something I've just discovered is that after the game is over you can play through it again with commentary from the people involved in making it, from the voice actors to the music and plot writers to the 3D designers. Not going to tell you how this works in case you get it but it made me smile.

So for a reduced price of £5.99 I think you'd be daft not to give it a go. It's not really a game as such but I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it and am starting it again - with commentary - immediately.

I got this for £2 or so on the steam sale and it's worth it. Its a pretty good story and sad in places. More of a visual novel really and not to taxing. Probably about the right amount of hours too - took me about 5 hours to complete. Not amazing but good!

Unfortunately gave up on the second plagues tale - I really liked the first game but it took me ages to buy the second and there was probably a reason for that. I didn't fancy another 15 hours of the same thing even though I like the story and it's beautiful. I'm going to read up the story though.
