Black Skylands is good, I was playing in bed. It's one of those rare games which looks over pixellated on a tv, to the extent that it's barely playable.
Then you play it on a small screen and it all looks right and is in proportion. Game is good, it's a top down shooter/adventure rpg where you can fly sky ships.
There's a lot more to the game than that. I've only been testing it out of curiosity, but there's crafting, resource hunting.
And it's very manual, in that to refuel your ship you rock up to a gas station and instead of a pop up menu you have to park your ship.
Then grab a fuel container from the hold, carry it over, hook shot over to the station and hold Y to refuel your container.
Then hook shot back and hold Y to refuel. When your ship takes damage there are visible holes you have to take a hammer to to patch up.
Story is fun too, I think this one will be a winner.
I definitely want the Soul Reaver Remasters. I only played a little bit of the first one on Dreamcast.
This weekend I've mostly been playing Banjo Kazooie N&B. I often catch myself just driving/flying around the amazing looking levels for fun in addition to the missions.
I'm on the 4th mission on Perfect Dark Zero now. If you enjoyed the game back in the day (I believe there's around 5 fans total), it still holds up well, except the enemy AI, which is terrible. Still fun to blast through them, though.
that is the one Castlevania game I think I've never touched. After Lament of Innocence, I was pretty convinced the world was not ready for 3D Castlevania games, and I don't think I ever heard a genuinely good word about Curse of Darkness. Sounds like I did not miss out on anything.This weekend has been all about Monster Hunter Wilds for me. Enjoying it very much. Also watched WWE Elimination Chamber which was quite good with a very big surprise in it. Never thought I’d see the day.
He's a bad bad man.A very bad man indeed.
Oh don't tell me you forgot that reference.

This weekend I've taken on the punishing Donkey Kong Country Returns. Going to stop for tonight after dying over eighty times on one level.
Damn. Totally did forget that. Time to hand in my wrestling fan club card and hide in shame.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileSorry to hear dude. That sucks. I've been there.
I just looked that up. I have to watch WWE one day just to see what it's about. Gaming people of the era we are have almost 100% cross over ven diagrams. Personally I've never seen a single minute of profesional wrestling. I read a LONG book about it and everything I know about it comes from conversations of gamers crossing over into the topic.
This is the book I read:
Is Wrestling Fixed? I Didn't Know It Was Broken!: From Photo Shoots and Sensational Stories to the WWE Network ― My Incredible Pro Wrestling Journey! and Beyond ...: Apter, Bill, Lawler, Jerry "The King": 9781770411548: Amazon.com: Books
I played the original 3 SNES games, have not been attracted to the newer ones at all. I did enjoy Princess Peach last year on Switch which makes me think the non-mario platformers are worth a go?
But they have to be good for my 7 year old as well, and from what you guys are saying about Returns, that's looking like NO DEAL.
Mick Foley has written two fantastic books about his career.
In regards to saying something like: the PS2 generation, or the 360 generation?
I've flip flopped over the years between picking the one with the most sales or the one I enjoyed the most.
I tend to remember periods of my life based on gaming generations. Like, oh that was the N64 generation when I was at school etc
Did you guys see the new 2D Terminator game? Looks epic.
I was thinking the other day I'd like to see more old movies made into 2D games like we used to get on SNES and Genesis.
Sackboy: A Big Adventure is really good so far. I've played though about five levels so far, and I'm enjoying it. The camera perspective is similar to Super Mario 3D World's. The visuals on PS5 are stunning, making me wish Switch 2 games would look this detailed. It isn't all difficult so far, similar difficulty to most Yoshi and Kirby games; hopefully, it'll ramp up a bit more later on.
My PS5 purchase came with both the PS5 and PS4 versions, so I'm trying to get my sister to give it a go. She's not good at most platfomers, so this might be a good fit for her.
