I've noticed that you seem to be a day behind me, I assume you are on something other than a PC?

Nah, I think he just made a typo. That control free game was on the 25th and I am on PC.

Todays offering is Ghostrunner 2. Any good?

I will probably grab this one.

I am so like you and UTJ. Grabbing all these games, knowing I want to/will/should play it but in all likely hood wont get around to it.

You are right, it is finding the time to play these games.

I picked this up, my three year old loves cars and got wheels (going to the O2 in a couple of weeks for the monster truck show).

Obviously he has no idea what or how to do it, but kept him busy and 'compliant' for a hour before bedtime. He's gagging for another go on it today.
