Happy Birthday Josh!

I third Daft's message @Blade, don't look it up, pre-order this collection now Although never having heard of Bioshock, that's... a huge surprise :p To me you might as well say you've never heard of Metal Gear Solid or Diablo or something.

The Infinite DLC was astounding, but I'd advise you to finish the first game before you play it!

I envy you Flink.

September 13 If you missed these games last generation, oh wow. You are in for the biggest treat I can imagine (perhaps just short of a Mass Effect remake). @Fierce_LiNk did you play Bioshock?

Sonic 4 was a step in the right direction for me, an understanding of what needed to be done, just with some issues with execution. Sonic games need to be made without gimmicks. No special "colours", no werehogs, no magic items or guest stars, no big robot walkers for Tails, no weird human stories. No group player-switch gameplay or cylindrical level layout. And greatly reduce the number of co-stars. All you need for a great Sonic game is speed, momentum and fantastic level design. Music and visuals help a lot too. Some simple improvements to Sonic 4: Better, slightly less cartoony visuals and a redesign for Sonic that captures sharp, classic coolness instead of modern... smoothness. Zoom out! We're on HD consoles now, there's no need to match the scale of old. Physics, whatever engine you were using, burn it to the ground. Put that momentum back in Sonic's shoes. Better flow and more intelligent level design. That said I wouldn't mind another good 3D Sonic either. I think SA2 was the last one I could consider good. But those need a big team and heaps of time and investment.

You can do that already, the code is

I never get excited over any of the Vita games because I know I'm never going to be bothered to juggle around space on my memory cards -_-

Not in the digital sale but Valkyria Chronicles is only £14 delivered on Base, if you like strategy RPGs http://www.base.com/Games/Valkyria-Chronicles-Remastered-Europa-Edition-PS4/VALREEPS4/product.htm And Ratchet & Clank £18 on the ebay shopto: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361516824414

You'd recognise the hit single from M People though

Are you talking Xbox One @Dog\-amoto? Release date on Steam for me shows Jul 7. Well anyway that's what 1201 would mean, typically if a time is written in the "hundred hours" format then 1 min past midnight would be 0001. I absolutely adored Limbo, I'll definitely get this on PC.

First I've really heard about Odin Sphere but it's getting some rave reviews. It's a remake right? I didn't have a PS2 so I missed a lot of games from that era.

I second this suggestion loved Busch Gardens, amazing rollercoasters.

The digital release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition (the uncut version) is out there and a lot of people are saying it fixes a lot of things that were wrong with the theatrical cut. Short of saving it for those who absolutely hated the original from beginning to end, it's getting pretty positive feedback.

Feel free to keep discussing Zelda here then, I'll just stay out of the thread myself

Is it really necessary for this Zelda discussion to be out of the main Zelda thread? I don't want to read about that game.

It's kinda crazy to think that Dany is on her way across the sea. She's been in the show since the first episode but barely interacted with any of the other main characters. Now she will start having scenes with more Lannisters and Jon Snow etc.... The lines were already blurred a bit but it's crazy that these two worlds are about to collide after six seasons apart.

Man @Esequiel you must still be in disbelief haha. What a win, glad something really good is happening for someone round these parts :-) Have fun at Disneyworld! Go to Universal Studios while you're there too

Interest rates were at an all time low anyway, the only way they could go was up.

My Dad's doing a bit better, thanks all who offered kind words I should be down about the brexit probably but I'm cheered up because he's talking and eating again. Going to see him over the weekend.

And a happy new year.
