[viberunner]

Witcher 2 free on Xbox Live Gold.

my brother got the full game with his PS4. Thr driving feels weird, I'm not surprised to see it got mixed reviews.

it got slated at launch but much needed updates sorted a lot of stuff out.

Am gonna buy it for that price anyway

That sounds like every big release of this gen so far.

I got driveclub last week, love it, I was waiting for the ps+ free version but as that doesn't look like it will happen, £19.99 was a bargain for such a fantastic game, graphics are the best I've seen on next gen

Started playing brutal legend over Xmas, can't believe I missed it when it came out.

Absolutely loving it in every way.

I enjoyed that a lot Thom, but it did get old for me after about half of the playthrough. I seem to remember theres a massive difficulty spike in the middle that totally turned me off.

Been playing Woah Dave and The Swapper on Vita.

Woah Dave is great fun in an 80's arcade game kind of way. Reminds me a bit of Bubble Bobble.

The Swapper is an interesting platform / puzzle game, where you can create clones of yourself and swap between them.

Bought and played Hotline Miami (PS4) over the weekend, what a fantastic little game. Played 7 chapters, so roughly half way through I think and it's mixture of tactics, great level design, brutal gameplay and one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in a game is making me pine for it while sitting here at work. I seriously recommend this game, I had no idea I'd enjoy it this much.

I've been meaning to get Woah Dave but I've got a backlog of indie games to finish as I keep buying ones I like the look of when they are on sale.

Swapper looks intresting but hasn't convinced me it's worth getting.

Swapper is free on PS+ this month if you have it. Haven't played it yet but it seems to have good reviews everywhere so I'll give it a bash at some point. Too hooked on The Last of Us at the moment to try anything else, mind.

Both free on PS+ this month. I think Woah Dave is Vita only at the moment, but I think if you "purchase" it now, you'll get it cross-buy on the PS4 when it comes out.

Yeah, its a fantastic game and soundtrack. Must be played with headphones for the full experience. Really looking forward to Hotline Miami 2.

I don't have a Playstation and I doubt I will get one.

I managed to get $1.36 on Woah Dave. Are you playing on Vita? You are in my friends list but your high score doesn't appear in the Woah Dave leaderboards for some reason.

Apparently Woah Dave is getting a NES cartridge release.

i second all of that. I love when you turn it on (vita at lesst) it tells you to play with headphoned on.

Just bought a megadrive btw everybody. Already got sonic 2 waiting to be played on it. Can't wait until it arrives, like being reunited with an old friend.

Yep, I've experienced alot of controller-against-wall angst.

and it's the first time I've had to use a guide since I was 12.

Cracking soundtrack though

After another session on Hotline Miami I'm now up to chapter 14 (last one?) and the stealth chapter was bullshit, it's the only time I have thought "I'm not enjoying this" while playing it, but then the chapter after just went back to being awesome again. Just wish that stealth chapter didn't exist.

[LondonTom]

Theme Hospital is currently "On The House" on Origin!!!! I didn't realise they had managed to get a proper port to windows, and there is even a HD mod out for it, Corsix-th which really just makes it a bit smoother and ready for using with higher resolutions.

All the same, it was one of my favourite games as kid, that and Theme Park! Killed an hour playing the first two levels last night.

The chapter in the hospital? Yeah that one was annoying. There are a couple of bonus chapters after you've finished the main story where you get to play as a different character.

Playing the remaster of Ducktales. It's okay but it's driving me mad how often Scrooge stops to have a seriously unfunny little chat with one of his pals.
