Who plays video games?  What are you playing?

 

I just got a PS3 and am working through all the best games from that console.  Have played through God of War 3 (incredible), Killzone 3 (just another shooter, albeit a pretty one), and am just starting the Uncharted series.

 

My absolute favourite thing of the last console generation was the Mass Effect series.  Have played the whole series through twice, will probably play it again soon.

 

Don't play online much, I'm mostly a single-player game guy.

hmmmm well it doesn't look like Streets of Rage will change much except for the graphics, Golden Axe intrigues me a bit

The title I was looking most forward to was Shinobi... until I caught a peek at the in production game... looks like garbage. 

 

Golden Axe though- that looks pretty cool. 

Streets of Rage 4 which came out a year or two ago was really really good,  I'm not sure if they'll be able to top it.  

Golden Axe and Jet Set Radio looked really good in that trailer.   Shinobi looked smooth as well. 

wish I had a way to play SoR4 but I don't think I'm that desperate to play it on a device

I just beat Indiana Jones and the Great Circle,  I think the story in this game might even surpass Raiders of the Lost Ark for the best Indiana Jones of all time.  It's that good.    It absolutely blows away the last two garbage movies by a long mile.    A must play for anyone who likes games and Indy.

Just beat Dragon Age Veilguard. As someone who never played the other games, I really enjoyed my time with it.

I played the first two and enjoyed them very much.

 

I recommend Baulders Gate 3.

I started it, but never got very far. It is still on my TODO list. Problem is my PC is downstairs and I tend to do a lot of my gaming on my PS5 before bed (which I have in the bedroom much to the delight of my wife). I am considering re-buying it on PS5 for exactly that reason.

I had fond memories working at EBGames back in the day,  unfortunately nowdays they can only survive selling  overpriced tchotchke 

 

 

Playing the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remaster has me thinking that studios like Virtuos ought to pull off this same trick with most of our classic favorites.
