Month: November 2021

Stuffed with savings.

As usual this time of year we won’t be doing a show next week.

I’m currently in the middle of looking over deals and checking reviews and patch notes to see what’s maybe worth picking up at a decent price when I remembered I had a show to post.

Seriously, I was up until 2am this morning as the last of the expected deals for today started going live (more to come tomorrow and later this week, of course). I’ve only made a few purchases here and there but overall it looks to be a nice sizable haul of games. I’m still hoping for some sort of miracle deal on Returnal, Ghost Of Tsushima Director’s Cut, & Ratchet & Clank. Their current sale price just doesn’t cut it for me. And, honestly, the more I sit on them, the more I think waiting for a PS+ freebie sounds like the better option. Still, there is a price point for those I’ll bite at and I’m eagerly awaiting to see how that may play out.

Check out our twitter and facebook page for a spreadsheet of ALL the deals currently available and those will be updated as prices change or new sales announced.

Happy deal hunting, everyone!

The new kid in town.

Every week I come away playing one game more than another. And yes, usually that game is Destiny, but not this week. And likely not for a few weeks to come until something pulls me back into Destiny (and it will). This week, that game was Forza Horizon 5. For some of the lucky few, it might have been the Elden Ring network test.

I’m not going to write a review of FH5, but I will say it’s one of the prettiest looking games I’ve seen. There’s a ton of vehicles, and the map is gigantic and you never stop progressing. Those are just some quick high spots of the game. There’s a lot more to it and it’s hard to find fault in any of it. Just…well, I hope you like driving games.

On another note, we’re less than two weeks away from the big Black Friday sales and if you’re looking to pick up a few games then just hold off a little bit longer. We hope to have a better list of things on sale come next episode (hurry it up Target & Best Buy), and we’ll run down what you can find and offer up a very well done spreadsheet so you can keep track of it all.

What goes around…

I think we all have phases of our hobbies. Or vices. Or maybe really anything. I’ll relate it to gaming but I think it works in almost any scenario.

For gaming, it can be anything from the style of game you’re interested in, the genre, the franchise, the aesthetic – all the way down to the console you prefer to play on. And that can shift over time. With the release of that trailer for the film version of Uncharted, I’ve been looking back at that series and revisiting Lost Legacy since I never finished it. And lately, I’ve been having a craving for combat in the Batman games.

When I get around to checking out Forza Horizon 5 next week on Gamepass, I’ll probably have an itch for some more arcade racing and will likely dip back into Burnout.

Just that whole cycle thing, but, of course, a circle never ends.

Speaking of things that never end…Ubisoft, it’s been 3,000 days since the last Splinter Cell release (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise or VR exclusive).
