Warm, unless it's a super hot day or post exercise, then it might be cool. I used to love a hot shower but then realised I was just setting off the sweaty mess switch in my body and ruining all the g...

It's hard to be sure, and assuming idle games don't count because who knows how many hours, days weeks months, years I've had Trimps running, but it must be close between Civ 4, Timesplitters 2 and Fa...

@heidegger "You think there's still that stigma?" - In parts yes. I have worked in adult education in London for a few years now and it is very rare I meet someone in the offices I go to who is over...

@the_nubster: that, and it just highlights how many of the 'big' games of the year I just never get in the year they are released. I think I am still playing catch up on some of 2017s releases, espe...

To a lot of people outside of playing games, all games are for kids - which for those of us who enjoy the pastime, is an arse as we spend most of our time justifying/explaining our hobby to these peop...

Having got this recently in a Humble Monthly, I can confirm, this is fun. I like the Rogue-lite elements, the random track builder isn't bad, I was worried for the tracks not feeling carefully constr...

From childhood, Flood was a game I played so much of, thought would get a sequel but just ended up getting lost to the memories. There's no shortage of shooter platformers but that one is one that I,...

The Running ManIt's not a horror per se, but I thought the tension throughout was really good. I was also one of the first book where I read it after seeing the film and couldn't understand how one c...

It's tough to predict specifics but I think the N64 and PS1 and to a lesser extent the Dreamcast and PS2 are the most likely sources for a remake that will cause the biggest ripples amongst people. T...

I don't think you have to get all of them, they tend to play very similarly and, having played 4 straight after 3 myself, it did feel very samey. I've played most of the way through all of them and t...

The armless one looks like it's certainly a He-Man figure of some kind (the hairy underware is a giveaway) The other two, I couldn't say for sure.

@gunflame88: gosh darn, I get caught out by these revitalised threads far to often (I'll blame my phone view version of the site rather than my complete lack of checking). Man, always 8 years late to...

Patience is the thing, and lucky genetics. I was facially follicly challenged into my mid twenties, and as no other men in my family can grow much past a series of fuzzy wisps I just thought that wou...

@kingukitsune: Vandal Hearts has a intro that sounds a bit like your description and has a FFT look to the gameplay. There are some playthroughs on YouTube that might be a bit better at confirming if...

@weirdguy79: It sounds a little like Heart of Darkness - no cape but might be close to the other parts you describe.

I picked the games that were my favourites from each gen that I had, or at the very least played a lot of at the time of the generation. Gen 1 - Breakout (Pong with no friends)Gen 2 - Pitfall! (Or the...

I haven't played it in some time but I seem to remember the strange silence of my character against the constant gabbing of the Pawns in Dragon's Dogma being quite entertaining. But the ones that rea...

@ntm: Yeah, it could be me, but I thought I remembered it being hinted that the new Xbox app for PC would make all that backwards compatibility possible. But I can't find anything that suggests this ...

I am really buoyed up by some the games they have been adding to the service - seems like a pretty good mix.Has there been any confirmation that these backwards compatible games will come to the PC ve...
