Trails Evolution.

My oh my it's good. Anyone who has HD simply has to go for it. The skill games a better, the tracks are very creative, I'm sure we'll all be trying for he one puma ship, but genuine multiplayer has been introduced too.


All told, bloody marvellous.

Yeah, I'm on the third set of levels and it's still very forgiving.

I'm laying down a couple of markers for you all to enjoy.


Oh, and the icarus skill game, launch yourself off your bike and flap your arms with two planks tied to them to see how far you can fly. Brilliant (and yet to get gold on that).


They've even bizarre mini game like marble madness on it.

> Anyone local here play Starcraft 2?



I like to play Starcraft 2. I am a Diamond League Protoss and would like to get to know some local players to play with and watch tournaments if anyone is in to that!?

Hard as NAILS, old school platformer Spelunky


http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-07-02-spelunky-review


out on xbox live (a much older PV version exists from a few years back) from last week


Indy Jones/Rick dangerous look and feel with some great features (as per review link above). The difficult means not for everyone "scuse me? I jus died on world 3-2 and I'm back AT THE START OF THE WHOLE GAME???"

Hi there,


I'm not much of a gamer these days. Having kids seems to have scuppered that, but I do run a nerdy website http://www.theunheardnerd.com and I'm looking for someone who's up to date with what's going on in the gaming world to write regular round-ups.


What's coming soon, the odd preview or thoughts on existing games as well as revisiting classics.


These could be weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Whatever suits really. There is NO pay for this, it would purely be for the love of it and I'd try to throw in the occasional benefit.


If you're vaguely interestest, please email me at theunheardnerd[@]gmail[dot]com


The site is still in it's first year but receives a decent amount of hits a day/month with that figure increasing steadily.


I cover the music and nerd culture side of the site and I have a movie contributor already. I need to fill the gaming and comics positions to really maximise the content available for readers.


Thanks for reading.

I've just looked at your site and have found out that Del Toro was to do an adaption of At The Mountains of Madness and the plug has been pulled.

My day is now substantially greyer than it was a moment ago :(


I'd be happy to be an occassional contributor but suffer from the same time constraints baby-and-toddler-wise that you do I'm afraid

2 takes on the old 2d scroller.

Hugely dofferent but both rather lovely in their own way.


Dust: An Elysian Trail, I guess if you look at this thread then it'll be familiar, but my experience so far backs up the great reviews.


The Home for the PC (2 quid on steam). Sort of an 8-Bit cross between Dear Esther and Alone in the Dark, game mechanics not a challenge but I loved the way your traditional gaming expectations are turned on their head.

Hmm, I agree totally that Zelda games do kind of guide you on your journey so you can't really get lost. He is a bit harsh about Ocarina of Time though. When that game came out, it was feckin amazing compared to anything we'd ever seen to that point!


But yes, a fully open world Zelda game would be a wonderful thing!

" I remember the peerless original, its unfairly-maligned sequel"


Pleased he said that, "Adventure of Link" was one of my favourite games. I played it recently on my phone, and it's still great! The original didn't have villages and people to talk to, which for me made AOL so charming.

Sailboat Championship on Android and iOS.

Like a grown-ups Waveracer. Very nice.


In other news already finding corners of the day to plough into the timesink that is Baldurs Gate.

By freeing it from the PC and actually allowing you to play it on the toilet I might actually manage to finish it this time.


Mind you sorting out the gazillion bugs would be nice of the developers; stabbing at a door entrance or stair case 63 times in a vain attempt to find the random sweet spot is very annoying.

I have loads of partially played games, I haven't when played a game for months.


L.A. Noir - maybe a 3rd through.

Alice, Madness Returns - Barely Started

Skyrim - Played about 2 hours, scared to get too drawn in!


And there are others, so I just don't buy games now.. Although I think Mrs Otta has got me the one where you play real guitar, so that should be fun.


Next year is going to have to be very frugal so as to pay off stuff, so hoping to jump back in to games.

very much enjoying Dishonored on PC (though out for the usual consoles), its half price on steam though.


It has something of the Bioshock about it, a healthy dash of half life but owes its greatrest debt to the Thief series.


Good looking, sneaky and absurdly violent should you feel the need to dispense with all that sneaking around, it makes for a satisfying game with some nice humourous details dotted around the steampunk aesthetic, check out the 'vi*gra' advert for Mr Smithwick's Elixir (or somesuch).

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
