Decidedly Average #DadGamer playing through my nostalgia years. Expect to see something different each time from the oldest 8-bit generations to the latest Xbox

@AngryGrokk Love your name :)

[Completed] Super Animal Royale : Not quite "completed", but first solo victory. This is a fun cute low stress little battle royale. Far less likely to have you throwing your controller at the screen than your CoDs or PUBGs . ⭐⭐⭐⭐

[MarkBetaOne @MarkBetaOne]

[Completed] Night Book : Another FMV game, this time with a horror twist. Good acting, some cheesy effects, and overall a story that was just too short - but no less enjoyable. I just wanted more of it :). ⭐⭐⭐⭐

[MarkBetaOne @MarkBetaOne]

@BobDuckNWeave It was a good compromise to the games getting bigger and bigger and only being able to fit a few larger titles on the console. I used it a lot.

@iCheckVibes @klobrille 100% this, and right as the storage cards are going back up in price again

@scully1888 It was a good compromise to the games getting bigger and bigger and only being able to fit a few larger titles on the console. I used it a lot.

A great story - maybe some odd choices in episode 5 (a timed mission in a game where you move so slow !) - but overall start to finish the twists and turns had me on a knife edge. I'm sad that it's finished, but I'm glad it got the ending it deserved.

[Completed] The Long Dark : An episodic survival game that I've been playing for over ten years, finally has come to an end. Visually this game is stunning, despite its cell shade art style the snowy wilderness at night has never looked this good or felt so real. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

[MarkBetaOne @MarkBetaOne]

@xboxuk Was never a big driving game fan (since Chase HQ anyway) - but played FH5 to death and i'm really looking forward to this.

[MarkBetaOne @MarkBetaOne]

@Tomi_Tapio That looks interesting, I'll add it to the wishlist :)

[MarkBetaOne @MarkBetaOne]

[Completed] Darkside Detective : I adore a point and click, the LucasArts era was a turning point in PC gaming, and this lives up to that with some tight humour and a beautiful retro feel. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[MarkBetaOne @MarkBetaOne]

Never could work out their crypto model for keeping afloat, but had an absolute blast on this platform. Made front page a few times, and donated more lemons than I can count.

Always a shame to see an alternative to the big two going under. #BringBackMixer

Grab a copy of the updated UT2004 at https://t.co/xuUb0X9lbW

UT2004 : It's been a long time since I visited this classic map. Original Unreal looked great, but Quake played better, until we hit Unreal Tournament vs Q3 - and then then tables sharply turned. How great is it that the fandom still exists so much that Epic has let them do this.

[MarkBetaOne @MarkBetaOne]

... at least that is until you get to the third act. Spec'ing yourself out with max speech makes a much more satisfying experience. Glad I played it to the end, but wouldn't want to revisit.

[MarkBetaOne @MarkBetaOne]

[Completed] Outer Worlds 2 : OW1 managed to walk a great line between the serious tone of Starfield and the whacky world of Borderlands making it one of the more enjoyable games of last year. Unfortunately OW2 just feels like a lesser version of the first title ⭐⭐⭐

[MarkBetaOne @MarkBetaOne]

@IceCreamUploads Nooooo i'm at work, truly the friday 13th curse !

[MarkBetaOne @MarkBetaOne]

My Silent Hill always exists in the fog and the ash and with Harry trying to find Cheryl.
It’s crazy that years later that when I hear the siren sound my skin still crawls and I have to check behind me for ... something.
In my restless dreams, I see that town ... Silent Hill

[MarkBetaOne @MarkBetaOne]

Silent Hill exists as a place and time and memory and while this is central tenant of the game its is equally as true IRL for me. The time is early 2000. The place our first home and the memory walking down that first alley, the sky gets dark and the siren starts to wail.

[MarkBetaOne @MarkBetaOne]

I watched the latest film in the series last night and it’s based on Silent Hill 2 which has always had this massively praised plot. It was never my favourite and I think the same is of the film. It does a great job replicating the plot and feel - but it’s not MY Silent Hill.
