Video Games

The price of digital games is still astounding.

Agreed, which is why I usually buy PC games from CD Keys now.

I've started doing this :( or waiting for steam sales. Haven't bought anything directly on Origin for years.

I just tend to fill up my wishlist on Steam and then wait for notifications that items on my wishlist have been reduced. If you 're not wanting to play the newest games straight away then it's fairly cheap.

Same, it helps that there are so few new games that I actually want to play also.

Yes by doing game share you are effectively halving the price of each game you purchase.

Better still look for websites where you can buy the microsoft vouchers cheap. I think G2A currently has £10 for around £7.

I'd be careful of G2A... they have had their keys revoked before and you are shit out luck if that happens.

CDKeys are pretty good though, never had a problem with them

Anyone interested in a brand new sealed copy of Battlefield 1 for PS4, £35 collected?

Anyone else played Frozen Synapse? My favourite game of the last few years. Simultaneous turn based strategy. Predict what the opponent will do and plan accordingly. They do the same. Then both plans are executed at once. Best multiplayer I've played.

New trailer for the sequel appeared today.

YES. Thanks for posting this!

New Hitman half price on Steam, £20 for all 6 episodes. Thoughts?

I'm really enjoying it. Paid 40 on Xbox. Definitely worth £20; if you're mildly obsessive/completionist/perfectionist there's hours and hours in it.

Good enough for me! Big fan of Silent Assassin and Blood Money, this looks like a nice recovery after Absolution. Wasn't expecting it to be 60GB though!

It spells things out for you a bit more than the earlier games (if you let it), but I don't mind so much as I'm lazier than I used to be. Coming from 100%-ing h2 and contracts, but those days are long gone.

(You're allowed to run in this one!)

I noticed that hitman was 24 in the Black Friday Xbox sale week. Very tempted by that and skyrim I must say!

Wolfenstein: The New Order is definitely worth the £5 it's currently on sale for (xbox store)

Seconded. Genuinely surprised how much I enjoyed it

Brilliant game. One of the only fps single players that's had me engrossed in recent years.

Bf1 single player campaign is fantastic too.

Totally, massively fun for once, even the story isn't half bad.

The love interested a bit much tho.

Bought and downloaded Dishonored 2. Turns out my CPU is too shitty and I can't upgrade that without upgrading my mobo too.

Drop the resolution?

My Surface has to play most AAA & Unreal Engine games at 720p, it's not that bad in most cases.

It won't even start.

Of course this is the first time I actually checked the minimum specs, they're really quite high.

just bought the titanfall 2/battlefield 1 double pack. much campaign fun ahead.

titanfall 2 is meant to be proper good, like genre defining good.

Bugger, good thing for Steam refunds!

I'm going to pick it up when it comes on sale and see if my little SP2 can run it, it's surprising the amount of heavy lifting it can do when it comes to games.
