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).

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
