Gone Home is worth any amount of money <awe>

As typical with any Indie Bundle it's two/three games I own and the rest I'd never want. I tend toi try and buy games that really impress me when new, so the developer gets paid well for it and can make more. Buying everything in bundles or sales underpays studios, some go bust and we get less adventurous/different games. Especially true for indies.

Don't get me wrong I love a bargain, but only on games I'm not convinced I'd like or are buggy. Like Assassin's Creed 4, Skyrim, Saints' Row 3, Mark of the Ninja

Humble Bundle does default to giving 50% of the sales to the developer at least, which is nice. I get your point though (and I hate when this is brought up people assume that you are anti-consumer or something)

There's an FM documentary. One night only of screenings in Vue cinemas across the land on 7th Oct, then it'll be distributed by other means.

I used to love Football Manager, but after leaving Uni and having a job / wife / house I would never ever have the 100s of hours that I'd need to invest in it <wah> Not really a game to spend a few minutes here and there on.

Haven't played it regularly for a good 5 years or so.

Does anyone remember this? What a f***ing game it was <awe>. I found one of those 4-in-1 game cartridges the other day with it on it and got all nostalgic <love>. Right up there with Streets of Rage 2

I wish they'd release a decent full on RPG for the Xbox One like a new Fallout or Mass Effect soon. Bored of playing FIFA all the time

Shadow of Mordor has some really good reviews. Game itself sounds quite promising. Excited <divax>

Tomb Raider DE is great on XONE. Recommend it. BF4 is gash. CoD is pretty poor too, well multiplayer anyway - the campaign is good. Forza 5 is ok, bit slow. Ryse looks great but is a bit easy and quick to finish. My mate has Destiny and says its good but it gets mixed reviews. Ive just bought Wolfenstein, haven't started it yet

Destiny if you have friends / want to play multiplayer, Shadow of Mordor if you want something single player.

Reviewer actually knocking the game because it was too hard for him and that the Alien is unpredictable.

Reviewers don't like difficult games, they like to have their hand held and a lot of impressive visuals.

Yeah, seems like a common thing with most 'gamers' these days, they don't want difficult games or games you actually have to think and teach yourself what to do. I thought the visuals in the new Alien game actually look good, yet the reviewer's only comment was about how the smoke is cool <laugh>

Truly was, such an underrated game <awe> Caleb also one of the best anti-hero's.
