I've been giving Vermintide a try on account of the free period and it's ok. But it keeps resetting my key bindings which... this game has been out for a while now. This should not be a thing that happens.

It's a damned good game imho if you're in it for the story and an ace twist here and there. I picked it up on a whim myself and was pleasantly surprised by the setting, story and all that other stuff.

I want to give online modes a try for once, since I used to be too shy to do so. Left 4 Dead has turned out pretty good, so I bought Vermintide for when I get bored of it.
Then I noticed the 45GB size.

Booting up Civ 4 again. I swear, turning on Aggressive AI makes the game hilarious. The last game turned into a cold war between the Native Americans, Byzantines, and the Persians. It wasn't uncommon to find a least 3 notifications a turn on missiles that were launched.
This time, it seems my three allies are fighting a secret war against each other, while trying to get on my good side. I like to think they despise each other, but act like nothing's happened when someone else asks.

Not liking how they play, or are they a pain in the arse?
I found IG was one of the easier forces to play on my first run. specially on the fourth mission.

The Grotsnik Corp Bump Feelerer 9,000. It only looks like several bricks crudely gaffer taped to a cricket bat.

Yeah, it's kinda ancient. Me and a friend decided to play through Gold and Silver in parallel and just enjoy the oldschool experience. We're giving our pokémon thematic and/or silly nicknames and keeping each other updated as we progress.
Same. Had to get it again when it came out on the Nintendo e-shop after I finally managed to catch all 151 pokemon in Red (some of them thanks to glitches, looking at you Mew!).

Well had to start a new profile on PS4 and firing the PS4 up for the first time in over a year, I picked up cod infiniteuh warfare for a tenner new.
Am actually enjoying it although cant wait to get back to ww2 era gameplay .
Decided to treat myself to some space-themed games with the Turing Test and No Man's Sky, both on sale right now. Refunded the latter after 45 minutes due to clunky controls and other issues, liking the Turing Test though, a nice puzzler that's presenting a fun bit of story so far.
It's come a long way since it first launched, but still not a game for everyone. Still very much a love-it-or-hate-it game. I'm in the "love it" camp, but it is a game that demands a lot of your time to play.

Give Cities: Skylines a try if you can. Everything EA did wrong with the latest Sim City, is done right in Cities.

I wouldn't go that far, but my experience with it has been less than stellar. The game booted up for me in a forced windowed mode that I couldn't fix until I was ingame and rebooted the game again, but it took a while to get there as first time around it got stuck on the loading screen. Then once rebooted it hung up on me when trying to play a new game again. Mind, my rig is a beast and can run DOOM on ultra without breaking a sweat.
I also found the controls and interface clunky, cumbersome and all that.
I may revisit it, if they ever do decide to toss in actual cooperative play, but at this stage it's not what I am looking for.
Very much enjoying Prey. Its like a hybrid of system shock, bioshock and deus ex.
Terrific setting and lots to do/explore.
However combat is tough, very tough and the way enemies can randomly enter back into "cleared" areas and wreck your turrets at will is a bit meh.
Still a good 20 quid purchase though!

Yeah, I scaled the combat difficulty back down to easy myself, as even on normal I struggled to survive!
Actually, I’m currently playing Company of Heroes. Kind of surprised that this game is much more frantic than Dawn of War. Feels more like a game of Tug-O-War instead of DOW’s massed waves of attackers.

Picked up the Diablo 3 battle chest after hearing how much the game has improved since its release years ago. Tried the demo beforehand, not disappointed.
Started out with a barbarian, quite hilarious to make enemies explode when they die, makes for a fun chain reaction, but I am now playing a monk and quite enjoying this class, probably doing it wrong, but nothing quite like going Kenshiro on a horde of mooks.
