Rock of Ages 2 on PC.

If you played the first one, you know what you're getting.

If not, it's something like tower defence mixed with boulder rolling and funny python-like cutscenes.
Fantastic. Has cows and a burning giraffe.
Absolutely worth checking out, it's from Ace Team who always have incredible artistic design and sound.

Playing Ys VIII, what a fantastic game this is. Not too keen on the story so far but the gameplay and music are definitely top notch.

Chime# on PC. It's a block fitting puzzle game with a musical element. This version is based on the old XBox one but with new modes and updated tunes. It:s hreat amd currently £1.59 at Humble rather than £7.99 on PS4 or Steam. BA!

Thats either a big typo or how the kids now speak? I'm hoping it's the former! :)

Is it wrong that I can't stop playing Pixeljunk Monsters?

Currently trying to "gold rainbow" all the levels...gradually.

Have rather become addicted to Everybodys Golf

Not usually a golf fan, but this is all rather fun. I'm not very good at it, and I can't compete with these guys who put up insane scores on the online challenges, but so what

Yep all about having fun..... in other news I was playing Salamander (80's shooter by Konami) for the first time in years on the PS4 last night... I was shocked how bad I was*... although in my defence it just doesn't feel right on a pad! :) Now hunting down a joystick for the PS4....

For those interested the conversion is great... not sure if its just emulated or re-written (I expect the former).. but everything is just as I remember even the slow-down the game used to suffer at certain points... still as addictive as ever.... loving the old speech on this "pick it up for ripple laser".... "ripple laser" etc. Updated on the PS4 for online scores, screen and video sharing and other bits and pieces. You can even simulate scan lines from the old CRT screens.

* I did manage to clear the first level though!

Just starting Life Is Strange: Before the Storm. Everyone says it does justice to the original, and I agree so far. Other than that, I am continually playing my favorites: Rocket League, TxK, and Polybius (proud to be in the global top 10 in pure mode :) )

After trawling through my seemingly very full XBox One hard drive last night (103 games apparently - although many XBox Gold "free" games!) had a quick go on Layers Of Fear... wow its actually a great little game... reminds me of a cross between Silent Hill and that PT demo on the PS4.....

Thanks for the heads up. That's in my list too, but probably wouldn't have got tried. I have a backlog on my backlog even got a backlog of VR games now.

So I completed all levels in hard mode. There are no more golden rainbows to be won. :-(

Now what should I play?
