April 9, 20187 yr Trackmania Turbo is excellent - fun and challenging. Definitely add this to your library while you can. I downloaded and started Q*Bert and my son groaned and shook his head in disbelief. That reaction was priceless. It's Q*Bert. I haven't started Mad Max yet, but I've heard good things. 99 Vidas wasn't my cup of tea (and I liked Double Dragon back in the day).
April 9, 20187 yr Ratchet and Clank was free this month too, wasn't it? What a fun game. Brings back memories of me and my son playing.
April 9, 20187 yr Author R&C was last month. Fun game. Hope you peeps added it to the library while it was available. Bloodborne was also last month. I played it a bit and the graphics, controls and fighting mechanics are all pretty sharp, but I wasn't a fan of the Dark Souls "do the same damn shit over and over and over because there is no save point and you just died" design. Just too much repetition.
April 10, 20187 yr Just got Trackmania. Awesome game...the epitome of "OK, just on more run and I'm done.....*2 hours later*....OK last one"
April 16, 20187 yr Author Re: Trackmania ... Getting a gold finish on the multi-lap tracks is so frustrating. You have to be nearly perfect for all three laps. So many times, I'm half way through the last lap and graze a side rail. *restart* Arrrrgggghhh! Some maps are really unforgiving, some are cheap (must navigate one specific obstacle perfectly) and some are truly awesome. I was goofing around with my son playing (couch co-op) multiplayer and there is a "secret" game option. You mash 3 buttons and you get a secret game mode. It looks like there are only four secret modes, but one of them is tremendous fun. It's kind of like Mario Kart - split screen race where both racers can bump each other off the track or into an obstacle and each car gets random effects periodically (no need to drive over tokens) to help or hinder . I did explore a bit in the Mad Max game. Some things aren't explained too well and I had to search the web for answers, but so far the hand to hand fighting is really easy and pretty entertaining. When you are attacking the first enemy oil pump camp, you unlock "fury" fighting mode which includes a lot of WWF type finishing moves. I'm just getting started with building my new war machine (car) and the car to car combat seems like it's going to be both awkward and crazy. First encounter you get with two patrol cars encourages you to ram them with your new ramming grill, but after destroying one car by T-boning it at full speed + nitrous, I tried to shoot a harpoon at the second car and instead of hitting the car, I hit the driver and yanked him out of the car. It was pretty gratifying even if unexpected.

May 11, 20187 yr Author New games this month include Rayman Legends, King Oddball and another game that I can't remember (haven't tried it yet). I like King Oddball. It's a strange game. Developers were probably on drugs when they designed it.
November 8, 20187 yr Author Decent games this month. Bulletstorm and Yakuza are the big games, but I've played the other two a bit and Roundabout was definitely made by people stoned out of their minds. It's oddly compelling.
October 3, 20196 yr Author Sony on a roll lately. Had Borderlands the Handsome collection a while back and Batman Arkham Knight last month. Last Of Us Remastered this month.
October 15, 20196 yr Thought about getting Last of Us. I’ve got it on ps3 still. Haven’t touched it since I beat it the first time.
March 27, 20214 yr Author Sony has a special deal right now with 9 free games. 2 are VR required. 1 is VR optional.
March 31, 20214 yr Today is the last day you can get Ratchet & Clank for free which will also net you the PS5 remaster for free too. April 19th is Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition which is a gem for free....
April 20, 20214 yr Days Gone is currently free to download for PS Plus members. Quite a fun game that I had never really paid attention to despite always seeing references to it. Basically an open-world, more action-oriented knock-off of the Last of Us.

Open world Last of Us. Storyline doesn’t compare but I like that I don’t have to fret after wasting a few bullets (I’m about 5% into the storyline so maybe that comment will come back to bite me).

Some of the stories can be tedious and you'll occasionally get frustrated that after finishing a short mission you have to then drive all the way to other side of the map to talk to another person to start the next mission. Definitely upgrade the fuel tank on your bike whenever you can. Game really hits its stride after the first 10 hours or so. Once you build up trust at some of the major camps and get access to better weapons with larger magazines and level up enough to get the increased ammo capacity perk, you can really enjoy spraying bullets into crowds of freakers. Taken on any hordes yet?
May 27, 20214 yr Unfortunately you're right. I have a crew of about 4-5 people who we've been playing games together online since 2007. The biggest one we all rally around was the Battlefield series. The steady-ish releases of new Battlefield games have kept us in touch for over a decade, but sadly the series has sucked since BF3. Hardline, 1, and 5, hasn't held our attention for very long, so sadly that group has started to drift away into separate directions, and has pretty much died off aside from some occasional discord memes.
June 5, 20214 yr Disappointing games this month. Star Wars squadron made me want to barf after about 15 minutes. Too much spinning in circles and herky-jerky camera angles.
June 5, 20214 yr Author Ps store offering 25% off 1 year of PS Now for a few more days. It's a good deal if you enjoy playing a variety of games.
