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).

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
