Re: Mass Effect Andromeda

I can say that Mass Effect has been my favorite franchise over the past couple of gens. However, I have been a bit worried about Andromeda - not sure they haven really marketed it that well. That, combined with a different character look, just made it seem a bit "off". But really encouraged today by...

Re: Steep

Agreed Teal/PK: I'm also using it to acclimatize my two young girls to skiing on big mountains! It's one of the few games we can play together, since all they have to do is steer. Those replays are indeed excellent - especially the movie like angles. I find myself really liking the skiing the best. ...

Re: Kicking The Tires On A New TV...Advice Needed

No signs of any image retention on the LG OLED thankfully! I'd agree that it's probably not something that should effect someone's decision to buy OLED. Same with the response time. The price is a different issue - I was lucky to find some obscure store in a nearby mall (seemed legit I swear) that w...

Re: Steep

I've had my eyes on Steep for a while. But I'm waiting for it to reach $20, which should happen soon. I also didn't like the demo, which gives me pause. But like Teal, I loved SSX, SSX 3 and Amped. Still think Amped and Amped 2 for the original Xbox are the greatest snowboarding games ever. I right...

I assume my digital pre-order downloaded last night. Really looking forward to the lush graphics and challenging combat. I've never played any of the Monster Hunter games, but Horizon is giving me that vibe - battling huge beasts in the wild, improving skills/tactics over time. I'm a huge sci-fi fan...

Re: RIP David Bowie

Was lucky enough to find the Blackstar LP at my local shop last Tuesday - a few days before it was supposed to release. I've been captivated with it ever since, trying to figure out what it all means. After his passing, I think it definitely makes a bit more sense.

Rest in peace.

Re: Black Friday 2015

PSN is having a pretty sweet Flash sale until the 30th. You can also combine that with a one time 10% discount count (found on the psn blog site). There were a bunch of AAA titles - i.e. Metal Gear $45?, Witcher for $25... I ended up going the cheap route and grabbed Wolfenstein: New Order for $9 (O...

Thanks guys - I'll keep it on my radar. If it drops to $20 here in Canada, and also on PSN, I might give it a download. For now, I downloaded Driveclub Bikes. It's a pretty arcade take on the sport, but I find myself really enjoying the shift from regular cars in Driveclub to the two wheelers. Havin...

Tulo trade: Not sure how you can fault that move. They were basically looking to dump Reyes and his contract and had to give up one high pitching prospect and one medium pitching prospect. In return, they have arguably the best ss in the game locked up for many years. Always an injury risk sure, but...

No, I'm actually forming an opinion based on my feelings if the PS4 were backwards compatible.

Re: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

I liked what I saw. First, the game looks gorgeous. But they added some cool touches to the combat, like Drake going for a ledge grab, but the guy grabbing Drake's leg on the way down. Sure, it looks like it's more mowing through tons of bad guys, but I find those battles are usually a lot of fun. ...

Don't forget about the Amazon promo where you can get 20 or 30% of pre-orders during E3 for any game announced (or already announced) for the future. You just have to pre-order at least 2 or 3 games.
