So many... Shadow of the Colossus, Iconic, Burnout Takedown, Out Run 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Resident Evil 4, Viewtiful Joe... I reckon they'd all hold up too

Porsche Challenge?

Always had a lot of time for The Doctors original incarnation

Shadow of the Colossus: An oral history Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Team Ico’s masterpiece by looking back with 11 people who worked on it (and three who didn’t).

Now that I've had time to read it, this fucking rocks. www.designroom.site/shadow-of-th...

This is a great read for anyone who wants an amazing journey of what it was like to grow up in Britain alongside the videogame industry finding it's feet

I'm a 1/4 of the way through and loving it. I can relate to so much of it too, growing up in Southend in the 80s and using every spare pound I had to buy games, usually trading everything constantly to fund the next thing. It's a joyous read. Your writing has brought me much pleasure over the years

This album is brilliant

Not looking forward to this set of amiibo

Really must play the 2nd and 3rd games in the collection. Loved the first

Quote a title screen that's iconic to you

That's a whole lot of ceramics

I'd have 6 of those myself

That's the World Cup, not the Club World Cup

They could have gone with Resident Evil SIX but that might have been confusing

Just miss E3 so bad

Really enjoyed @brianaltano.bsky.social and @peer-ign.bsky.social catching up on their Nintendo history on last week's NVC podcast. These guys have been with me since I got into Nintendo back in the Wii days, and kept me sane during the barren Wii U years with their warmth and humour. Great listen 🙏

The most gutted I've ever felt after a game of football. They were probably the better team but we had getting out of this hellhole league in our grasp. 😢

I work in brand design and there are now sites that review your work and where 100s of people leave comments afterwards about why you're shit and what they would have done better. It's great

Bloody hell

Echoes is a gruelling tough hang of a game, but I do recall a couple of the bosses being good hangs.

And Corruption is just a more pleasant easy going experience in general.

The one thing that I think 2 and 3 do better on the whole are the bosses.

Great to have you back, loving the new record

Nice. Only 3D game I've ever played that seemed to build on the platforming / shooting / upgrade formula Metroid Prime has at its core.

I've had a really good time, but I think I might be done. I'm about 35 days in and have unlocked about 3 sanctum doors but am growing tired of the same 4 rows of increasingly tedious puzzles you have to do to start your day proper. But that curiosity you mention is hard to shake...

@davidturners.tcgs.co Your crisp observations are absolutely spot on - with you on the prawn cocktail mouth tingle and Ready salted being great on holiday

Still attempting to work out what the hell DuskBlood is, if it is connected to Bloodborne and if it looks amazingly inventive / a total mess

Hopefully it chugs to a halt on Switch and is unplayable, so my kids do something else and I can get my TV back
