GTA Trilogy footage leaked. Still looks a bit rough and characters look like potatoes, but it oddly adds an interesting style to it. Definitely looks playable and enjoyable.

Early reviews of BF2042 are really good. Currently sitting on 81 on Metacritic with only one negative review.

But all reviewers mention that it's still pretty buggy.

Played about 30 minutes of Samln Andreas so far. It has not aged well at all.

Definitely getting the nostalgia, but the ganky models are a bit off putting, and the audio is horrible. It sounds like every character is talking through an old CB radio.

Yep. Picked up Squad a fair while back and never got around to playing it. Apparently it's really good. Based on Arma, but a more accessible Arma.

Played a bit of Vanguard multiplayer on Xbox. It's actually pretty fun for a simple death match. Campaign is good too, especially the Aussie missions

One of my favourite lines is:

Brit - "I'm an officer"

Des - "I'm Des, that's Lucas, we don't give a fuck about your rank"

@Hacky McAxe i finally finished Guardians of the Galaxy. Honestly, I think it was an excellent game. Absolutely loved it. The story was great with it's balance of comedic and seriously moments throughout. So many great characters too. I actually liked the combat system, it made sense for the game. The soundtrack was excellent, really added to certain scenes with the licensed music.

Speaking of the soundtrack, I thought it was pretty awesome that they made an actual full album for the game for the fictional band Star-lord, and not only that but it was actually a decent album to boot.

First time I started the game, I just sat there at the start listening to the album and reading the lyrics. I'm amazed how much effort they put into that.

I pretty much did the same thing. They did a really great job with GOTG, considering how bad The Avengers game was which I think has had people sleep on GOTG. I hope they release some DLC or make another GOTG game, was an excellent single player experience.

Also, outside of the game I have been pumping the Star-lord album at work. I think every song is good but I will say that The Darkness Inside is probably my favourite, just love the riffs and solo's in it.

They said that they're not making DLC for it, but they'll probably make a sequel.
