Downloading this as we speak, having been notified it's free on PS5.

Yes free on PS5 and you can migrate your old profile to the new one, if you have one already of course

It then gives an option to upgrade the core offline game to the PS5 enhanced version for £9, which I did. Can't believe I'm effectively buying the same game for the 3rd time!

Tried Destiny 2, good FPS but not going to get into it enough to play the grind.

It's quite enjoyable just going around with two strangers online and killing some monsters on raids.

When you open GTA online from the PS5 screen it gives the option of playing online or the core game at the top. Choose the core game and it goes to a screen offering you to buy it for £9. I think it is for a limited period although I think it is for a few more weeks yet

A bit of a convoluted route to buying it and I was wondering why I couldn't see it in the PS Store, only the online game

Been scratching around for a game to play on my Xbox and scouring the game pass.

After the disappointing Alan Wake, I settled on Dragon Age Inquisition. The combat is a little basic and cumbersome, but the world is pretty expansive and graphics are ok.

Was thinking of investing in Elden Ring, but not sure. Anyone else played this yet?

If not, I will bounce around until Starfield comes out in November.

Have had some fun over the last few months revisiting Skyrim (10th anniversary addition) which is vastly improved by installing the Mods and Fallout4.

Downloaded a bunch of 8-bit goodness for the Next. That should keep me busy for the next... 30 minutes or so.

Going to sound strange to say but for the first time in ten years…..nothing (I’ve kicked my 60+ hour a week WoW habit and ditched it completely). Feels odd, I’ve even read a book.

Funny, I'm struggling to get into anything right now. Having been gaming since my Amiga 500 days, nothing is currently holding my attention...have I finally grown up? I seriously hope not!!

Sorry you didn’t like Alan Wake, it’s one of my favourite games. It really got me into Remedy games as it was something different and interesting.

Have you tried Control? Bit mad but interesting.

I’d love to play Elden Ring but my blood pressure would go mad!

There can only be one! Dropped way too many 10p pieces on this at Southend seafront.

Just finished the updated Cyberpunk which I thought was great. Charging around dicing people up with a katana in a futuristic city is my bag.

Now moved onto Tunic which I strongly advise people play. Utterly magnificent little isometric adventure game similar to Zelda but really difficult in places.
