I unfortunately don’t have many to add as I only really play the basics like Rocket League, FIFA and COD. However I am enjoying Hogwarts, Baldur’s Gate and Sea of Thieves although I know they’re probably not the most recent games.

Tuchel confirmed England manager.

Resident Evil 2 (1998) 

are both games myself and GF are looking forward to! Hopefully I’ll hear good things in your reviews about the rest and on here on FG!

I’m definitely up for this! I think there should be some rules, such as one game per franchise! 
 
It’s almost time for me to set up our game of the year poll again … 

So, just wondering if there would be any interest in seeing if we can come up collectively with an FG top 10 must play games list?
 
Currently thinking the format along the lines of everyone puts a list down of say 5 games each, we then all have to put them into priority and then each position get's a set number of points i.e. if I put the Witcher 3 top, then Fifa (heaven forbid) second then Witcher 3 would say get 10 points and then Fifa 9 and so on and so on.
 
Would that interest people or am I shouting into the wind? 😄
 
I would then look at doing a short write up for each game in the top 10 so if anyone has comments to say about any of their nominations, memories and such put them in the post and I could look to use them in the write ups.

Unsure if anyone is really interested in things like this but the past few years a couple of local retro stores set up their own little gaming fair. This year they have had to change venue due to the interest from sellers and the number of people attending and it seems to be growing which is great!
 
It is on again in a few weeks over in Bilston and I plan to go. There are some quite big gaming fairs for retro collectors across the country and they seem to be great for finding some more obscure or collectible titles.
 
Just wondering if anyone on here has ever been to one and if so what gems you have found?

A little late to the thread but wanted to reply anyway! 
 
Have recently beaten both The Plucky Squire and Astro Bot - the latter being an incredible experience! 
 
I’m now playing Star Wars Outlaws (about 7 hours in), and also slowly working on the Astro Bot platinum 👍🏻

Rewatched The Intern and then Notting Hill again for the 537th time.
 
I thought The Intern was only a few years old as it feels a fresh happy film...but Tom helped me realise its actually 9 years old. Man....

I would partly agree, I don't think it really applies here, this doesn't feel forced at all. Just looks like another amazing game with some great visuals. Look forward to it.

Watched Christopher Robin with the GF yesterday, have to say I enjoyed it 😂
 
Not my normal cup of tea but it did have a nice animation style and story.
 
Would recommend if you have children as well.

We'll have to get some other game nights up on FG!
 
It probably doesn't help that we have been playing FIFA MNF nights for 5 years, without fail. I wouldn't want to lose it, but also I don't think it's wrong for a few of us to maybe play something else. As long as we're all in the party having fun, that's all that matters.

Honestly, my experience of FC25 thus far has been very bad. Rush is probably the only thing they added which I enjoy. The career mode has been ruined by the terrible player generations, disfigured monsters. Which coincides with most Pro Clubs players now as well.

I have to say that for me I feel similar @JM. Rush was ok to begin with however most games seem a bit too easy, if you come up against a squad then it's decent and can be quite a battle but if you come up against 4 randoms put together the result almost always goes the same way.
 
Clubs has been crap to be honest so far, it doesn't seem to flow very well and to be honest I think we also cause a lot of our own problems in that we all try to do to much and I think this fifa very much wants you to pass it around and play Pep ball moreso than any other version.
 
I will stick with clubs only because it's a numbers thing again, we don't have a game where so many of us get together at once and once we lose that it's probably gone for good, couple that with the way this site is and I don't really feel like FG has much at the moment sadly (oh excluding our D&D nights!)

I mean my main hobby is video games hence being here 🤣
 
Other hobbies - I enjoy podcasting now, which gives me an outlet to talk all things video games! I watch a lot of football (haven’t played in a very long time), and like to keep up with the Basketball when I can! 
 
Maybe I should take up another hobby 🤣! Having kids means it’s hard to find the time for 1 hobby let alone more! 

My god, playing this at @GazzaGarratt house the other day was shite 😄
 
But shite in a funny way! We had a bit of a laugh with it. I had not played any of my retro stuff for a while and this has reinvigorated me a little. I really enjoyed just how simple it was, there wern't a lot of mechanics in it if you compare to modern day EA FC and you could literally just jump into playing a tournament within moments which was great.
 

I had no idea there was a retro game called England International Football and assumed you were on here to moan about the performance against Greece the other night 🤣

Post number 2500!
Deserves a ripping bass solo. 
 
 

At last! Sony finally have a game to show off the PS5 Pro with instead of recycling 4 year old titles.

So, a sequel to Ghost of Tutshima. Which was a superb game.

Went to see Alien Romulus at the cinema today. Thought it was excellent! Scared the shit out of my girlfriend though who ended the film literally weeping. Perhaps I’ll take her to something more lighthearted next time.

An insult to Tolkien, and an insult to cinema and media in general
