Even though it's the wrong way round it's always fun reading the Manga of an anime you enjoyed...

This should certainly make the PS5 list interesting, four of my PS5 list appeared here so that at least makes me feel some of my less obvious picks might have a shot.

Thank you (for both comments!)

Today I turned 41, but my day has been focused on my Dad’s failing health, sadly. I did squeeze in finally watching Thunderbolts, which was a good night in (even if I could’ve done without the thematic links to depression and being close with your family…)

I could only think of five, four if you end up thinking Clair Obscure doesn't count...

1. Hades
2. Clair Obscure: Expedition 33
3. Hades II
4. Balatro
5. Pizza Tower

Haven't played Silksong yet, but I'm pretty sure that would've ended up high on this list if I had!

You give me enough bright spots each week, it's only fair I give you something back now and again!

Happy Birthday! I turned 40 last year, it's honestly not a big deal, at least it didn't feel as big as when I turned 20 or 30, those felt like I was entering big new chapters, 40 feels like more of my 30s, just with a few more aches if I overdo physical activity πŸ˜…

Don't know if it's an age thing or what but I've not played any mobile games, so... I'll have to sit this one out!

Always fun getting a "screener" for a big Shonen Jump film!

Much like the previous XBOX category I've been a Sony and Nintendo only gamer for the past two generations, so I'm going to have to pass, as tempting as it is to put some PS5 games I like on a list here to give them an extra chance, that wouldn't be in the spirit of things!

A brief 800+ page read for @animeuknews.net ! That being said so many pages were wordless artwork it didn't actually take that long to read, and it was good too!

01.09.2025 11:44 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I decided to fill it with games I want to see make it regardless of whether I voted for them before...

1. Streets of Rage 4
2. Star Wars Jedi FO

4. No Man's Sky
5. Dynasty W 9
6. Sonic Mania
7. NEO TWEWY
8. Resi 2 R
9. Theatrhythm FBL
10. DB FighterZ

Made up for forgetting SoR4 last time!

18.08.2025 21:23 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

A tough one, but...

1. Journey
2. Bastion
3. Celeste
4. Shovel Knight
5. Terreria
6. Transistor
7. Cuphead
8. Disco Elysium
9. LIMBO

I know Journey has already appeared on the PS3 list, but I couldn't miss it out here...

12.08.2025 07:14 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

A tricky one, but in the end I went with:

2. BOTW
3. Sonic Mania
4. Metroid Dread
5. Odyssey
6. TOTK
7. Three Houses
8. Mario Wonder
9. Astral Chain

I'm afraid my PS4 was my main console previous gen, and the XBOX One had no exclusives that appealed. It's the same with the PS5...

Despite all my years as a console gamer I love walking around CEX and finding games I've never heard of...

Goodbye "Uncle Hulk", you horrible racist egomaniac...

Argh, instant regret for forgetting Streets of Rage 4... you'd think the successful resurrection of my childhood favourite franchise would've been at the forefront of my mind really...

Tough one, this was my only non-Nintendo console in the 8th Gen.

I played MK8 to death on Wii U but not so much the Switch, so I'll be the opposite to most here.

Another fun review for @animeuknews.net been wanting to rewatch this for years!

We finally come to a poll where I can't contribute. Never had a Vita, the only Sony machine I don't own. (Just like the Virtual Boy being the only Nintendo console I don't own, but unsurprisingly there wasn't a poll for that one!)

Not big into the 3DS, especially as the 3D hurts my overly sensitive eyes. Still, plenty of great games (mostly RPGs oddly!)

1. Project X Zone 2
2. Mario Kart 7
3. FE Awakening
4. Link Between Worlds
5. Project X Zone
6. Kingdom Hearts DDD
7. FE Echoes: SoV
8. Metroid SR
9. SSB for 3DS
10. FE Fates

Seems like mist of the indie games I thought of were past 2010, but...

1. Spelunky
2. Trials HD
3. Castle Crashers

Made it at least...

2000s plus Arcade was a struggle, but thanks to some recent collections I've managed to add a couple, plus Gundam Extreme VS, love that series. Neo Geo was KOF and related series heavy, but a few others, like SamSho and Metal Slug.

It's right up there as one of my favourite Star Wars things period. Each book / comic has been a delight to read.

10.06.2025 17:52 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

This was quite hard actually, lots of great multi platform games this Gen!

1. GTA IV
2. Assassin's Creed II
3. Red Dead
4. Oblivion
5. SF IV
6. Fallout New Vegas
7. Resi 5
8. Fallout 3
9. MvC 3
