Content notes for (virtual) animal death, which is basically my whole issue with the game as I thought I was buying an exploration game. And the exploration parts and puzzles are wonderful!! ( More mild gameplay spoilers, no story spoilers )

Still a delightful concept! May an easy/story mode be added someday, haha. I'd love to see more cat games with that kind of exploration and puzzles. Walking on keyboards, pushing objects off ledges, tripping up walking characters, etc: this was like living the cat high life and quite a rush to experience :D Has anyone else here played it?

In case any of you haven't heard the good news: Horizon Zero Dawn and all of its DLC is available for a free download on the Playstation Store until May 14. I highly recommend this game! It's also a good time to play the first one before they release the second one. I myself have not had a chance to play the DLC's yet so I'm going to check this out.

Hey again folks, I'm not good at keeping conversation going but I really enjoyed reading your answers last time we did this :) So if you feel like sharing again, I'd love to read about what you're playing, your achievements, some news you want to share, etc.

The Steam Game Festival runs from February 3 – February 9, and will have around 500 demos that you can try out.

Hey folks, I enjoyed the discussion we had a little while ago and thought we should try and keep the momentum going. So maybe let's make a weekly chit chat thing if you'd like that. What do you think?

Anyway I'm interested in knowing what you've been playing for the last two weeks, if you've read any interesting gaming articles, got some new game, maybe congratulate you your accomplishments too, see what I mean ?

I'll start in the comments :)

Today my brother reminded me that I used to play a video game with crocodiles and eggs when I was a kid. I'd completely forgotten that but some visuals came back when he mentioned it. We couldn't remember anything else about it though so we supposed this was a very old game, probably one I had on the original Game Boy. Google gave us nothing until I suddenly remembered it was a pinball game. And there you go: Revenge of the Gator, released in 1990. I was so bad at this it's no surprise it was tucked away in a little corner of my mind. Oddly enough we both remembered it as a colored game although we didn't have any when we were children.

What about you? Any forgotten games in that brain of yours? :)

There was a good response to the last similar post, so maybe it's time for another one! I wanted to post this yesterday, but I got distracted. photo anime_sweatdrop_emoticon_v2b.gif

I just recently finished Momodora: Requiem Under the Moonlight, an extremely cute pixel-art metroidvania I heard about from a Dark Souls podcast, if that tells you what kind of game it is. It seems like it's geared to challenge runs--there are extra drops for beating bosses without taking damage--but I went through on Normal difficulty and had a great time.

Last night I started ゼルダの伝説:ふしぎの木の実 (大地の章) (Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons), which isn't quite as charming as I found Link's Awakening when I first played it last November, but I'm only like an hour in. It still has time to win me over. I do like the way the seasons change and I haven't even gotten the ability to manipulate them yet!

I also loaded up Warcraft III for the first time in half a decade and I'm having a hard time resisting replaying it, though I did do a couple matches against one computer. It just got a new patch, much to my surprise, and people are still playing DotA. Some things never change.

Is this sort of post allowed? The rules didn't say anything about it.

Anyway, I love this freaking game, and it's on sale right now, and the sequel is in production, so I just wanted to share that!

I'm staying away from Steam because I don't have time to get absorbed into anything serious right now and therefore sticking to mobile games. Right now I'm into Tiny Tower and Tiny Tower Vegas because I love the retro art, the humor, and elevators (not kidding). It's very simple and you can play for as little or as long as you want. Doesn't require wi-fi either.

Hi all. My name is Marianne, and I'm from Maryland, USA. I'm into not just video games, but board games too! I lean towards board games a bit more since my mom and I have been in this meetup group for over six years. We've all played so many. Some of my favorites include Five Crowns, Formula D, Splendor, The Game of Things, Robo Rally, and Allhambra. All of them are great.

Splendor in particular for weeks during meetups has been everyone's favorite! Not only is it a really nice looking game, but it's a very good strategy-wise, with a bit of luck involved. Also, it's a very easy one to learn...

I've played video games for so long. I currently have the GameCube and N64 hooked up to my TV. I'm actually not sure when I'll be getting back to the ones I've been cycling through, but probably not for too much longer! I also have a Nintendo DS Lite, and one of my favorite games on that is Bejeweled 3. Oh, and some old school Sonic games. (Sonic the Hedgehog 2, yeah!)

I'm a self-claimed Last Generation and Retro Gamer. The video game industry unfortunately grows much too fast to my liking, and the shiny new games and consoles are so expensive. (Saving up for a 3DS and two to three certain games for it so far has been such a challenge for me. I wonder how long can I keep at this until I decide to just catch up on favorite manga and comics.)

Last and certainly not least, I'm into video game music remixing. Very much so--for I've got a handful of ideas in my head for certain tunes from these games; Final Fantasy 7, Super Castlevania 4, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic CD, and Darius Twin. ...The Mortal Kombat Techno Syndrome isn't actually directly from any of the MK games, but it's the official theme to the very first game. It sort of counts as a gaming remix!

So, if you'd like, feel free to listen to Mortal Kombat Komputer... Long ago, before this, I put together a few original tributes to my favorite Primal Rage characters--two of them I still really like to listen to sometimes. My more recent original one is a techno/metal industrial tribute to the Creepy Pasta gaming character, Sonic.EXE.

Currently, I'm in the middle of one of my two Darius Twin remix projects, and it's been really exciting! Darius Twin was one of my favorite Super Nintendo games to play as a kid. The enemy spaceships that look like various aquatic animals and music to me make this one memorable.

It's been a year!

What have you played lately? Anything new or older you've been spending hours on?

Also favorite 'mobile' games (using quotes because it can be cross-platform games)?

ninetydegrees

So first video game ever? (You played not watched) How about board games or card games?

You very probably have heard of Candy Crush Saga but have you heard of the Candy Jam? Candy Jam is indie devs' answer to King trying to trademark the words 'candy' and 'saga' and actively going after gaming companies which use either word in their games (e.g. The Banner Saga, which has nothing to do with candies or match-three games but all to do with Vikings).

Here are two of my favorite Candy Jam games:
Candy Escape Goat Saga, after the existing Escape Goat, where you need to free the candy instead of crushing it. Oh sweet beautiful ~~Ann Perkins~~ irony!
Candy's Crushes Saga which wins the Oscar for best pun (in addition to being interesting and original).

Whoot, my first post! I hope reviews are okay to post here >_< I finished my finals and, to my disappointment, completed Far Cry 3. I wasn't sure whether or not to post this here because I don't know how it'll be received but I think it'd be good for discussion.

THE GOOD
- I got this game for $5. Wish I got it for free.
- Ubisoft never disappoints when it comes to scenery, nature, and the animal animations and clippings.
- Gameplay mechanics are wonderful; very much like Assassin's Creed in FPS style. You've got the synchronizing in high places to map out locations, gain more ways to kill/stealth as you progress, do sidequests that don't have anything to do with the main mission, etc.

THE "F**K NO STOP THIS NOW" (TRIGGER WARNING: racism, sexism, rape; CONTAINS SPOILERS)

It's a long list of bad with a bit of profanity so prepare yourselves. If you found this helpful, please rate up on Steam so that it stays visible as it's one of the few honest reviews. Lots of Far Cry 3 stans but I expected it.

Hyper Light Drifter, which you can preorder (kinda low risk imo since they got more than 20 times the amount of money they asked for on their KS so let's jut say there's a good chance the game will happen ;).

I missed the KS for it. Version 2 has shipped out for iThings and they say they're working on the other versions now.

What are your favorite video game versions of board games? Ticket to Ride? Catan? Pandemic?
