I quite liked that Skulls of the Shogun thang. Seemed a lot of fun and humorous. I might return to that at some point.

Iv enjoyed The Unfinished Swan and Chase the Sun but everything else has been meh so far. Was ace being a PS3 latecomer as there was a great title almost every month for me to have, now though there's slim pickings due to the age of this generation I guess. I'm sure it will improve. Grumble over.

I've enjoyed Guacamelee and Super Exploding Zoo, but both are very much 'little' games, like I'd play on my phone or something. So I kind of feel since I get very limited time on my PS4 that I should spend time on GTA, Witcher or Mortal Kolbat instead.

Play Guacamelee on the phone??? You probably haven't reached the last bossfights for sure.

I was thoroughly enjoying GoW Ascension right up until my save game corrupted about two thirds of the way through. But, yeah, much more fun than I was expecting.

Did anyone play Styx this month? It's on my list and I was curious what people thought?

I don't know, there's genuinely good stuff there. Heard v good things about Grow Home and La Mulana. Not much in the way of big-box AAA business, but better than some of the underwhelming, half-baked indie that often finds its way to PS+.

Weirdly, slap them three games in a Humble Bundle and it's going through the roof, offer it to console games and they be all like. "CoD or nuffin!"



I'm interested in Grow Home and Super Time force - I'd never heard of La-Mulana but it does look interesting

Almost every game has around 9/10 on steam, so that's not really much.

I hate this rating system that steam and rotten tomatoes use. It just measures the consensus of the film/game.

Alternative - Metacritic (yes i know its worse for your 'average of averages' but)

Grow Home - 75 - http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/grow-home
Super Time Force - 80 - http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/super ... orce-ultra

Where is there a '9/10' rating displayed on Steam for these games? There's a Metacritic rating but that's out of 100 and the Steam user ratings are a % as well.

I'd swear when I looked at them earlier there was a line with a 9/10 on the steam page just below the trailer videos but when i look now its not there.

Not exactly Shawshank Redemption, but this system rewards movies like The King's Speech and Lincoln.

Has anyone used a playstation TV to play PS4 games on a second screen?

Refitting the second living room as a playroom and its directly above the living room where the Virgin router is. PS4 is ethernet cabled to the router so would only have one WiFi leg, which works fairly well to stream Prime on the same smart TV so thinking that could work (likely only the boy would use it a lot)

No, but I have used a Vita with the PS4 for remote play and it's effectively the same technology. It should be ok for Apple Slice - a bit of input lag but over the same wifi network should be fine.

I must insist that anyone who

1) likes Metroidvania style games
2) doesn't have much time for lengthy gaming
3) is actually interested in playing decent games,

give Xeodrifter a whirl (especially if you've got a PS Vita) because it satisfies all of the above and, in my opinion, is reet good. Videos of it do no justice whatsoever to how responsive the controls are and how it's a decent little Metroid-lite slice of gaming.

Almost finished and recommended already.

Post subject:  Re: The PS Plus thread

Grow Home.

It starts off bad. The options screen seems utterly unresponsive to a single button press.

But when it really starts things start looking up. It initially looks bloody lovely. Nice colours, great vista.

Then you move your robot character and it falls apart. Does anyone remember that episode of Friends when Joey says "Come on, French it up." Grow Home is like someone at Ubisoft said "Come on, physics it up." The physics engine is pushing against you throughout and it's so frustrating that you want to smash the face off your little idiotic robot cunt.

I'm going to do it. I'll grow my big plant into the sky. But once it's done it will be instantly deleted.

Throughout it I was thinking if Nintendo got their hands on this they would make some awesome climbing, platformer akin a strange mash up of Mario and Pilotwings but as it stands it plays like a failed tech demo that needs a few more months of polish, and/or a second look by someone with an objective eye, before being tossed into the publics hands.

Post subject:  Re: The PS Plus thread

What is happening with this month's PS+? People were all like "meh, this is the worst month EVA" but I'm enjoying this month more than recent months.

Xeodrifter was great.
Gone Home was interesting (-ish). At least it didn't last long.

Now Teslagrad is acebest. I've never heard of it not was I going to play it; I just turned it on to see what it was even though the picture to start the game looked rubbish. Turns out it's another little fab indie game. I've enjoyed it so much I'm going to stick with it until the end. The utterly fab intro widens out into another Metroid-lite map.

Well worth turning on to see if you fancy it.

Has anyone been playing Super Time Force Team or whatever it's called? I love the concept, I love the style, but I can't shake this feeling I'm succeeding through blind luck rather than any kind of method or design. I gun and run, die, rewind, drop a new chap, maybe drop another, run and gun, die, rinse, repeat. I never feel like my 'ghosts' are particularly helping or if I should be thinking more strategically.

I will persevere, as I'm hoping the game just hasn't clicked for me yet.

Rabbit Kung Fu is budget rubbish that I couldn't stomach for more than 20 minutes before deleting it.

Kickbeat fared less well as it was pure gobshite and lasted about 10 minutes before meeting the same fate.
