It'd be nice if we could talk a bit about politics on here, but you've got to remember which people peed in that pool.

Theres really not that much to talk about these days in politics anyway, its all gone eerily quiet.

I now post my gaming comments on here, and spill my political bile and belittle knuckleheads on the 'other' forum.

Super Tennis (on Switch Online). A tennis game I'm determined to try and excel in. I was always more of a fan of Jimmy Connors, and Smash Court tennis series, when it came to the old-school 2D tennis games, and never truly got into Super Tennis. I plan to change that now! Once you get the timing rig...

I saw it this afternoon going for about £3.50 on sale on Wii U, so just went ahead and got it....still available as of typing this message.

Indeed. The PSPs PS1 emulator is also significantly better than the PS1-Classic as well, especially if you're running "official" PSN Playstation 1 game eboots - they're practically flawless.

It's actually more of a portable 3DO, technically speaking. But I know what you mean, it has a lot of games that are either from SNES or feautre SNES-like scrolling effects. How so? Aside from the ARM CPU I don’t see that the GBA has much in common with the 3DO. I meant that more in the sense that ...

I have been trying to give my old Wii U a bit of love in recent weeks, and purchased a digital (and exclusive to Wii U at the time of writing this post) game called "Affordable Space Adventures". Really finding it enjoyable, despite a lot of trial and error! Makes great use of the Wii U Gamepad as a...

Its a pity that Ridge Racer, Ridge Rev and Rage Racer never got official PSN releases, particularly the latter....i've ripped/converted Rage Racer to an eboot, but its actually quite laggy with iffy framerate. Same with Gran Turismo 2. Ridge Racer and RRR seem to run fine though (although think i ha...

Definitely worth modding a PSP (any psp) - its PS1 built in emulation is vastly superior to that of the PS1 Classic/Mini (that I've just mentioned on the other thread!), especially if you're just putting on the "official" PSN PS1 games on it. Many great original PSP games to go for as well, and abso...

Meh, I'd take the PS1 port of Quake 2, by Hammerhead, over all others any day.

Against my better judgement, I ended up getting a Sony Playstation Classic/Mini the other day, and have been fiddling around with it. I guess its already fairly well documented that the emulation is pretty sub-par, and further let down by a poor selection of games and in almost half the cases the in...

Kuku Kuru Kururin

A nice little game, but I unfortunately made the mistake of playing the Gamecube version first, which is magnificent and so much better suited to analogue control!

Lack of love for the Master System version of Speedball 2. As a Speedball 2 nut, the only versions that are worth playing IMO is the definitive Amiga version, and the Megadrive port. (not counting the Xbox Live Arcade one, which was basically the Amiga one with some extras that didn't add much to t...

Donut County on Switch. Very short and simple indie game (inspired by the Katamari games), but reasonably charming.

As for that Smollet guy crying wolf, I'm not that surprised, we've become a society that incentives victimhood. He's a selfish, greedy and devious individual and tried to exploit the fact that homophobic abuse IS sadly still commonplace in our society. His self-serving gamble backfired spectacularl...
