Knack 2 - Easy mode, co-op I'm in the minority when I say I enjoyed the original Knack. It wasn't perfect but I didn't think it deserved some of the criticism it received. Knack 2 expands on Knack 1 and does things so much better. New enemies, new skill system introduced, new challenges, new gameplay mechanics. Overall it's an improvement over Knack and a big one at that. So the first play through was in co-op mode on Easy, playing with my daughter. Co-op mode has been improved massively. Now you play as two individual Knack's, player two taking on the roll of a blue coloured Knack. In comparison to Knack (original game), player two felt like a shadow of Knack, you would always teleport back to player one's position if you left the screen, there was no collecting of sandstones to use powerful moves and if player two dies, you just respawn but if player one dies, it's back to the last checkpoint, regardless of if player two is still alive. Co-op felt disconnected. Now in Knack 2, you play as two. Whoever is in the lead will take the camera, you both collect sandstone crystals and can use powerful moves, if you both die then you have to restart at the last checkpoint but respawning is still a thing, providing you aren't both dead at the same time. You both now feel an interaction between you, the game and the other player. There is some new mechanics at work in Knack 2. You have button pressing sequences which even in co-op, both players need to press the corresponding buttons to advance. In co-op, if one fails to press the button in time, then the next attempt when one player pushes the button, it activates for both players. But with a few buttons to press in a row, this can mean redoing these a few times (especially with young children who might not hit the buttons in time). Difficulty has ramped up with this release, new tricky platforming, more enemies who seem to take much more to damage, large group fights. The story and game also doesn't feel like it's dragging out, something I felt Knack had an issue with mid to late game. Great game overall and well worth playing, especially with young children. Although a young child gaming on their own, who might struggle with some of Knack 2's new platforming, may still opt to play Knack as it's much more simple.

This week was probably my worst so far. I just wasn't feeling the tracks, and couldn't get to grips with the cars handling. During Qualifying for Catalunya, I set a very slow time above 2 minutes, since all my other attempts resulted in getting penalties. I gave up this attempt to sit in pits until race time. The race was completely different though, I had a very good race and was keeping the car on track and with good enough lap times to not be last. Gr. 2's are awesome cars to drive, if you know how. I kept spinning on all the same corners, so that was a disaster. I admit I came close to quitting early.

Soon they will be adding a new channel called Star to the subscription, along with a price hike! New Price of £79.99pa or £7.99pm. That's an increase of £20 and honestly it just seems expensive now. Mine is due to renew on 24th March, but from what I'm reading, they have locked current prices for existing subscribers for 6 months. So I think I can get a year for £59.99 before paying the higher price next year. I wish they would have Star optional, so we could either continue with £59.99pa for what we current get or £79.99 to have Star included. It's why I like the system in place for NowTV, we only pay for what we actually want.

The Turing Test. This is a puzzle game and honestly, it's worth a play through. The puzzles are simply just putting things in the right order, at the right time. It doesn't compare to the likes of Portal and honestly I was a little disappointed in the puzzles difficulty. Most of them don't take much thinking thought to get right, some I swear I didn't do as was intended but got the end result anyway. Graphically it looks great and plays really well, I completed main story (no optional side puzzles) in about 5 hours. I probably wouldn't buy this at full price but if you grab it in the sales, it's worth giving it a chance.

Does anyone own any of the Trials games? The main ones being Trials Evolution, Trials Fusion and Trials Rising? I love these games, easy to play but in my case, very hard to master. Extreme tracks still kick my arse. I wondered if we had enough people to do a Trials based challenge in the way the old GT Sport Time Trial was done. It would be completed in your own time, however many times you like. I know not too long ago EpicGames had given away Trials Rising for free, so maybe some of you picked that up? I've included a poll to select (if any) of the games you own, this could be done on any platform too, be it 360, PS3, XBX, PS5 or PC.

Happy New Year everyone. Here's hoping that this year is an improvement! What did you do this NYE? How did 2020 work out? I'm just home listening to My Dying Bridge and trying to get my head around what to do in Terraria. Daughter was sleep when all fireworks started, but she isn't a big fan of the loud noises (luckily they didn't wake her up). So as with any new year that closes in, do you have any resolutions you want to aim for? I did have a few, which I think I'm going to have to scale back to be more realistic. 1. I want to read at least 6 books in the year, one every two months. I did originally plan to make this a book a month but I don't think that'll happen! I thought about a chapter a day, which would more or less read me a book in a month but I don't think I could stick to that. 2. I want to try go running twice a week. This one won't be easy, I may have to settle for at least a run a week. I still hurt a little after my Christmas Day fall when I was out running, so I don't know if it's worth chancing running just yet. 3. Do a little bit of cross stitch every week This will just depend on if I have a project on-going at the time. Good luck with whatever you are aiming for this year! You will have the support of everyone at FG.

@GazzaGarratt The game is sitting on a "Mostly Positive" with 9,866 Steam reviews. This gameplay trailer is what made me think this game actually looks pretty good. I'm not sure how it'll adapt to the PS4 though as these games are pretty much best played on PC. I'll be giving this a try when it drops though.

Very nice! I was recently looking at Greed Fall on Steam.

I realise these are dying out for the most part but does anyone still buy / read these? My brother recently signed up to Readly and kindly offered me to use it. I do like reading things like "Cross-Stitcher" as it often contains designs I wouldn't mind doing. I recently have done some reading of "PlayStation Official Mag", "RetroGamer" and "PC Gamer". The idea these magazines can usually be read digitally on one subscription that allows access to so many different publications is pretty impressive.

If you have NowTV / Sky, the Sonic The Hedgehog movie I thoroughly enjoyed. IMO it's one of the best video game adaptions that's currently made.

Still have this? If so, I'd love to see how different it is to Tabletop Simulator!

My haul. The FCUK ones I've never tried but I got 2 Lynx Africa gift sets this year.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 58/100 My Time 159 seconds  

So what did you all get this Christmas? I got 2 sets of Lynx Africa, FCUK spray set, Riptoe rubber duck and 2 cross stitches.

Congrats to all, I really didn't expect to end up with the 3 wins. I feel a guilty even though it wasn't like I cheated the system ❣️. Remaining credit to just go on Steam @GazzaGarratt please mate. Hades bought and contemplating what else I might like.

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope everyone had a great time today.

Well this Christmas Day run was... interesting. This will be the first time, in my 3 years of running, where I've actually fallen over! I was running on a byway, around 3 miles in to the run and I somehow either tripped or lost my footing on a rock. It's very uneven ground but also a path I've run many times before. Anyway, not to be defeated. I checked my foot over and felt like I could carry on. So this actually was my present to myself.

Staying at home, daughter is excited, I just laid out all the presents under the tree while she's asleep. I can't wait for her to wake up. We might possibly be meeting my sister outdoors to provide my daughter with her present from her. Although after presents are done, first things first and that's going for a run.

Thank you for these chances 🥰 Again, I'll take it as Steam credit please. Looks increasingly likely I'll be buying Hades 😁

Even though I'd previously completed the game years ago, me and my daughter played through Knack in 3 sittings and she completed the final fight tonight. Difficulty was on Easy but I'm super impressed with what she's shown me. I have always felt like this game got more hate than it deserved. For me it was a pretty enjoyable experience, the only thing I've always said is the game just feels a few chapters too long. As she's only 4, I really can't expect much from her in games and it's something she's only just starting to get used to. We started out on Little Big Planet 3, learning the most basic controls of jumping and moving around the screen, then we was able to look more at things like jumping and grabbing and other things which isn't too complicated. Well after practicing this for a few days, we decided to give Knack a try in co-op. To my surprise she picked this up fairly quickly, probably helped by her time on LBP. Co-op mode is great in this game as you can give the main controller to the young one and you control a side Knack, one who doesn't fail a level when he dies with unlimited respawns. I used this to my advantage by doing a lot of the heavy fighting in groups. The thing about co-op is the camera is locked to the main Knack character and if you travel too far from Knack, you respawn back next to him. Great fun in co-op if you ever want to introduce someone young to gaming.
