Everything looks ace on PS4. Even started playing CoD again

Stopped after MW2. Was brilliant, we'd have parties of 8 of us playing in the evenings. Lost its shine after that...

Tenchu was awesome!!! Good stealth game. That, along with Thief set the rules the genre has followed ever since!

Bioforge (EA/Origin, PC, 1995)

I remember it well - a great game. Sad that there were no follow-ups, although I believe that one was planned but never saw the light of day.
Origin were true technological pioneers at the time when the greatest advances were being made in videogame technology. I loved their stuff. Ultima Underworld 1 & 2 were amazing, probably in my personal top-10 games ever.

Loved witcher 2, well worth the money. I found dark souls too difficult. My mate who lent me it called me a sh!t house lol

The Witcher 2 puts all the other Western Swords 'n' Sorcery style RPGs I've played this generation to shame. An absolute steal for that price and I implore anyone even mildly curious to get it

Excellent Humble Bundle sale this week. The theme is rogue-likes and for once I didn't own any of the games (except The Binding of Isaac, but I didn't own the dlc being offered) and a few of them were on my to-buy list. Pay over the average of 6 dolla dolla bills to get all of them, and you can customise your payment so that x% goes to charity/devs/the site.
