Okay Twitter, thing's I'm selling so let me know if you're interested. FFVIII pal thing. Not complete, t-shirt well worn but clean. Some stickers used and no actual memory card but might complete your set.

Currently discourse is that PS2 Resi 4 was night and day different to GCN. Honestly, the shite I see on here. GCN version obviously the superior version but it's hardly worlds apart.

Final Fantasy XII is incredible. It brought FF into the modern era but maintained its core design values. Square should never have abandoned the battle system to appease the gamer with an attention span of

I find many many games today to be immature and full of horrible clichés and irritating characters. It's nothing new. Many pedestrian stories and ideas and it feels worse due to the improvement in visuals and with full voicing.

Snatcher is a bad example because Kojima can't do stories. He does amazing action and scenes but stories are a mess. Now plenty of mature games out before the last ten years. Absolutely loads. Often only the translation let's them down when coming from Japan.

Snatcher is brilliant by design for the medium at the time, but it's awfully immature. The same can be said about a lot of other games too, especially from around the PS2 to the PS3/Xbox 360 eras. There are some historical gems though that have been overlooked.

He may not have been perfect and I'm not Jewish and don't fully understand the antisemitism row but surely it could have been better than what we have now?

I'm trying to move on for the sake of my mental health, but then I happen to walk past something like this - my heart breaks & my rage rises once again. Heart ache thinking what might have been & anger for the lie & deceit that robbed us of that chance. #ItWasAScam

I'd love someone to do a recolour of Rage Racer. Great looking game and appreciate it's a deliberate choice but it's very grey.

This is something I've been trying to put together ever since joining . We spoke to Masahiro Inoue and Masaaki Kukino, former members of Konami's arcade division, about some of the company's most beloved arcade games.

Finally Sugawara! As good a squad as we can expect. Left back is looking a little dodgy but depth all over

It's amazing how many SNES games are improved because of a simple ROM type. Looks like it was a capable machine after all.

First full week off from work in months that doesn't involve hospital now does involve pain and swelling of the posterior. Happy days!

Hateful racist Tory councillor. Will be complaining to New Forest council to have Lexxie removed.

You want to respond to your original post?? As a Tory Councillor, wow, you should be ashamed.

I've clocked up 3 hours of playing time on Pacific Rift and the game is dipping into overly repetitive territory. Still very good but it's starting to feel like a checklist of racing rather than a single player that is genuinely rewarding. Such an issue with modern racers.

Good morning. There is no crisis of asylum seekers invading Britain in dinghies. Transgender people are not causing anyone any discernible problems. There are however very real & desperate crises in cost of living, wages and a broken economy that they don’t want us to talk about.

I'm not blown away by the Resident Evil 4 demo. Sound design is less inspiring than the original and everything else feels familiar. It's obviously very good but it's not on my must buy list now.
