Liverpool 2 - 5 Real Madrid LFC actually went 2 nil up but it was a night of very silly goals mixed in with a couple of beauties. That Vinicius is quality.

Got a beast of a deal today in work, what you guys think? 🙂

Emerson Royal with cheese😎

Not convinced it will get game of the year, simply because games released so early in the year tend to get forgotten about when it get's round to voting time. There are also some potentially big games coming out this year as well with spiderman 2, the next Zelda game, diablo IV and Stalker 2 to name a few. That said I am getting quite far into the game now and have almost 50% of the trophies done and I am still quite enjoying it. I feel like there might be too much to collect and what probably let's it down is that you just go from point A to point B to point C just collecting items etc. I think of the Witcher 3 as it is still my top game, you would go round various points around the map but you would be following little stories and the such that would guide you to the points. I mean there are all these goblin camps all over the place and I don't think I have ever been introduced to them or told why they are scattered about, I know there is a goblin rebellion but I am not sure the game has ever suggested it was such a big open rebellion. In fact a lot of Ranrok's stuff had been skulking around for the first portion of the game. I just think it could have been fleshed out a lot more. Another thing I thought about, your meant to be this kid going to Hogwarts school, you can sort of choose a good or evil play through by choosing whether or not to learn the unforgiveable curses but then if you use the ancient magic you can be bashing people off the floor or turning them into a toad and stamping on them and such. Those seem as grim if not worse than the unforgiveables, or am I wrong? The game looks fantastic and I am enjoying it as a Harry Potter fan but I don't feel it will be game of the year unless all voters are looking at it through HP specced glasses. I imagine you might be able to, if you stealth everything and just stupify everyone / everything I reckon you could.

The 'keepers had a mare last night. Such a random game but always nice to see lots of goals go in.

Please let us know, this is one of those games I was keeping an eye on but yeah I wasn't sure if it would be great or not. My game pass has lapsed at the moment but I was thinking I might renew it at some point.

The fixed cameras give it that nostalgia feel. Sadly, Capcom learned their lesson, and gave the series that true 3rd person perspective with 4 and the remakes. I'll be interested to play through this and see if they have the same cringe-worthy dialogue and cut scenes. "Wait, DON'T go through THAT DOOR!!"

I installed this on my Series X tonight, and I'll give it a go tomorrow. The mixed reviews I've seen make me feel so glad this is on game pass. If you've played it, post your thoughts here. I've heard its a russian bioshock wannabe. Lol

Beta for owners runs from March 17-19 and then the open beta is March 24-26th Diablo 4 Open Beta Dates, Early Access, And Everything We Know - GameSpot WWW.GAMESPOT.COM You won't have long to wait to experience the terror of the Burning Hells in Diablo IV before the game officially launches in June.

What the Frick! 👀

Vaznev is poly. Probably my favorite SMG

Fair play, horrible gun 😅

I think my despair at Blues is really crippling my love of the sport at the moment. Yet more charges to come for the club and people at it from the EFL, this time for allowing people to run the club (part of the recent takeover attempt) without passing the proper tests etc. Our current ownership is so inept and really shouldn't be anywhere near a football club. There is an investigative journalist who has been looking into the ownership for years and he has found the only reason they are holding onto our club is because the company that owns Blues need to have an asset such as the club in order for them to be on the hong kong stock exchange. If they did not have Blues they would not be allowed to trade on there. The problem with this is it does not matter what state the club is in, so long as it continues to function. It won't matter if it drops down the leagues, loses millions every year etc it just need's to be functioning. We had such a good start to the season and I think part of that was due to the potential takeover but the wheels have certainly come off since that all fell through. Think I am going to just ignore Birmingham until we get new owners as it's just a bit sh*t and start following Stourbridge my local club.

BAS-P platinum

Had a go of the new track, also tried out the Sophy races, pretty cool.

I’ve recently started playing this about a month ago and I’m hooked. I use to enjoy MTG many, many years ago. Always liked the turn based card games. I was wondering if anyone plays. Love to hear about deck builds and strategies.

This was a nice couple of missions to complete yesterday 🙂

More Metal Gear Rising e

Don't be mean Lee @GazzaGarratt The Bas-P is alright. Not outstanding, but usable.

I thought it was rather decent 😄 One of the first guns I got gold I think. Akimbo X13 was a disappointment though. Only useable on Shipment I reckon.

Big kahuna burger? 😂

Scarlet Nexus was pretty good. I had fun with that when it first released. DMC 5 is more of the same from that series. You'll dig it if you liked the previous entries.

Dunno if it was a bug or not but but I noticed the ping search meter went beyond 62, and I got in a lobby with 125 ping. Needless to say that I left.

Whenever someone mentions Emerson Royal, I immediately think of this

Reviews are coming in, and a fairy mixed response to it. I will try it out on Gamepass, possibly on Xbox but most likely on PC.

Just going through more modern games in the backlog to name a few - Dying Light 2 Rage 2 Scarlet Nexus Kingdom hearts 3 Devil May Cry 5 Diablo 2 (remaster) & 3 Triangle Strategy Harvestella But yeah there are quite a few more, I found an app yesterday that will allow me to keep track of them easier and log when they are done called gametrack (iphone)

Looks great. Just needs a different story to make it feel interesting I feel.

I'd like to see some consistency but we seem very Jekyll and Hyde right now. I was very pleased for Emerson Royal, he gets a lot of stick but he's a trier and I love that about him.

The SteamDeck has helped tremendously when looking at backlog games, Prey for example, is finally getting a play through. Aside from that I've mostly been finishing Division 2 dlc in terms of older games.

A really cool metroidvania action/adventure that dropped on the Switch last week, and eventually coming to other consoles at a point yet to be announced. I've been enjoying it so far. Controls are tight and it's got some gore to it.

Instead of complaining about that , just don't get killed. Duh 🙂

I'm loving this game. LOVE IT. It'll probably take me ages to finish it as I end up just slowly trying to find every little secret or puzzle every time I move just 5 yards. The world visibly is just wonderful and the game mechanics are complex but not hard to get an understanding of. There is real depth to the game it feels and i've only just got out of Hogwarts for the first time and hit Hogsmeade. Its even better because it doesn't connect to the Harry Potter story in any way, so everything feels kind of new again in a world many of us are supposed to know. Subtle things like the Hippogriffs just flying out of the Forbidden Forest and cruising around is enough throwback to see and just look at them. Even Tom @LordBaguette said to make sure you look back at Hogwarts when you leave for the first time as its stunning and he wasn't wrong. Is it wrong of me to say potential Game of the Year already??

I think most people thought it was a fake game at first especially when we saw no original gameplay footage for a very long period and the devs were silent for months upon months at a time. However it looks like they've done a very good job overall with a truly unique setting and not only that, this is a rare game that actually seems to represent the gameplay trailers we've seen previous.

It's on Xbox GamePass so I'll more than likely check it out. When I first became aware of this game i thought it was riffing off (nor ripping) Stalker but now I can't remember so will check the video above, cheers👍

Out in 3 weeks

Very interesting map, plays terribly tho.
