Then we went for a swim and saw a beaver.

I've been replaying Dragon Age Inquisition. I had it on the Xbox 360 back when it was first released, but picked up the Game of the Year Edition dirt cheap back when I first bought my Xbox One, but haven't finished playing it. It's heavily influenced by Skyrim, but is made by Bioware, so it has some mechanics from Mass Effect.

It's basically like Skyrim and Mass Effect had a baby. It's different, and fun.

I'll probably stream some gameplay over the weekend.

Never played Dragon Age before. Seen it. Even for good prices too.

I found another PS1 gem (Apart from the others i mentioned on the last page) called Covert Ops: Nuclear Dawn. In Europe it was originally titled Chase the Express.

In a nutshell, this is Resident Evil meets Metal Gear Solid.

But its fun.

The french Ambassador along with his family are on heir way to Russia in a super train right in the middle of winter when the train is infiltrated by a group of terrorists. A special NATO team is dispatched to stop the threat while the train is still in motion.

This is essentially Speed on a train. But it is very cool.

I don't think I've heard of that game. Looks like fun!

Dragon Age is a pretty fun series. But I'm a big BioWare fan, so it's to be expected. XD

Looks awesome.

It really is! Lots and lots!

MG - I saw the last trailer for Tomb Raider. It looks good, no doubt about it yet i feel i have lost my love for the new series. I get the feeling that the story is uninspiring and the whole tomb raiding is not like it was in the original games.

Naturally the reboot is very successful meaning i am clearly in the minority. Its just that i used to have this feeling when playing the original games and that feeling is not present when i play the new ones.

Typical reboot effect, I'm afraid. I only played the 2013 reboot and I thought it was great. For the last one I need to buy a PS4 and I don't have to money for that now. Of course it's not the same, it never is. Maybe I'm too easy in that, I don't know. I'll let the MacGyver reboot to be the judge of that.

I get what you mean. I had the same feeling when they attempted to reboot Resident Evil. But you guys have heard my rant on that one. XD

I enjoy the Tomb Raider reboots, but I dunno if I'll get the new one. I'm actually looking forward to Red Dead Redemption 2 and Spyro Remaster.

I just hear that the entire Myst series is being updated for Windows 10 and will be released as a bundle with all Myst, and Myst related games. That's gonna be cool, though I'm unsure if they're going to update any of the graphics... I kinda hope so.

Real Myst is an amazing game though, regardless.

RDR2 is also something I look forward too. I definitely will replay the first one. I really liked Bonnie McFarlane.

Edit: the new trailer has just been released.

I like the Myst series myself however i have only really played Myst & Riven. So look forward to seeing them return.

MG - Yup. RDRII sure looks good but you're going to have to invest in a new console if you're going to play that one I'm afraid. I think its only going to be available on PS4 & XB1. Good news is that the prices of original consoles (Prior to XB1X & S as well as PS4 Pro) have dropped quite significantly.

As for Tomb Raider? I can wait.

Spyro? I'm right there waiting!!!

I started replaying Petz Dogz 2 yesterday. It's basically the closet thing we ever got to a Dog Island sequel.

The plot is different. This one involves a "magic hat" that keeps the peace over the world, and an evil wolf named Ivlet who steals it and wrecks havoc. Now it's up to the player to save the world (cue dramatic theme).

There is also Petz Catz 2, which is exactly the same, except for cats. Only the wii and ps2 versions are like this, while the PC and DS versions are pet simulators (No, I don't own every version, I just read about them).

Honestly, even though they're both the same, I think the dog version is better. The game was clearly made with Dog Island in mind, and watching cats sniff like dogs, dig like dogs, and meow obnoxiously just doesn't click for me. And neither one is as good as Dog Island, IMO.

That being said, there are some things that are better than Dog Island, like more variety in accessories, mini games, and skills to learn.

Just like Dog Island, I'm playing as a doberman named Murdog. Might as well.

In case anyone wants to see, I found a fan-made trailer, but it's for the cat version. It doesn't really matter, but the meowing really bugs me.

When playing, I came across Tom, a cocker spaniel. Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks he looks like Howard Stern.

I've always wanted to play Myst. Maybe I'll have a chance now.

Well, i managed to get my very cheap copy of Morrowind to which i was excited to play. It was a 44gb installation which then prompted me for a 57gb update!!!!! Yeouch! Seriously? Did they upload the memories of the developers? So I have yet to play it. I managed to update approximately 36gb so far but still need the remainder.

For now all i can do is look at those screenshots...

Hallelujah! Managed to finally get Morrowind to work. Installed the rest of the update and then my Xbox had an error code 0x80073cf6. According to the support forums i had to reset to my factory defaults which cleared up around 10gb of space but the console works even better now without all the flashy pop ups.

As for Morrowind, only played a few minutes so far but its incredible!!!

I haven't played Morrowind. I've played a tiny smidgen of Oblivion back in the day. I actually still have it and I have yet to ever actually finish it. Skyrim is my favorite, personally. I have this fabulous warhammer called Champion's Cudgel. I love that thing. XD

I haven't touched Inquisition since I got my computer up and running. I've had to download all my games again, and redo some stuff. I lost almost everything from Sims 4. Thankfully, I uploaded the important stuff to the community. I just lost any progress from after I uploaded them. Eh... oh well. XD

I recommend it! Its really good. I am also eyeing out Dark Souls III. Looks amazing.

As for Sims 4?

Still haven't gone back to it. Yes. I know. I'm pathetic.

Still playing Petz Dogz 2, at least when I have the time.

One thing that never gets old for me is looking for all the Dog Island references they sneaked in. They're extremely subtle.

@denizen - LOL! Sims 4 can get really old really fast. I go through phases where I'll play it a lot, and then I won't play it for several months. But, it's still fun.

I started playing Resident Evil 4 again. I really need to finish that game on the Xbox One. But, it's actually hard to get used to the controls again. It's really tanky in comparison to newer games. I had a bit of a rough start, but I got rather far now.
This game is so good!

Anyway, here's a stream I did early today. Warning: Violence... lots of violence. lol

Nice streaming there Jedi. I still have to get back to this too! Gosh! I'm pathetic!

My son has now discovered Tomb Raider Anniversary in particular and is hooked on that.

I have started to play Aliens Vs. Predator and despite the extremely bad lighting (Only to make your heart beat that much more), it's pretty good!

LOL! If it'll make you feel any better denizen, there are plenty of games I haven't finished yet... usually because I pushed it off for a game I liked better, or that is easier to play.

I'm actually not that great of a gamer, but I manage to get my way through most games. The beginning of that stream was actually me panicking because I couldn't remember how to get out of that cage. My friend Kathryn thought it was hilarious watching me panic.

I was also very relieved to get the larger attache case too. lol

I actually liked Aliens vs Predator. I had fun as the Xenomorphs... those things are seriously OP.

Yup. It's been fun playing it. Still dedicated to Assassins Creed to which i am quite far ATM.

Assassin's Creed is pretty fun! The second game isn't bad either, but it got repetitive after a while, so I never finished it.

I never finished Bioshock 2 or Bioshock Infinite either. I just recently got Dead Space 2 as a free download, but that series is hard for me to play. Too creepy.... XD I'd much rather watch Markiplier play it instead. I never finished any of the newer Silent Hill games that came out on the Xbox 360. But I did finish Origins and Shattered Memories on the PSP.

Assassins Creed is fun indeed. Its different than the norm. I have heard mixed reviews about Assassins III but i am eager to try it. Also Black Flag & Rogue. I believe there is a new AC game coming out later this year but its wrapped in secrecy.

Heard good things abut the Bioshock games but never played them yet.

From later today Metal Gear Solid 5 - Phantom Pain will be available for free from Xbox Live Gold.

Introduced my son to Minecraft yesterday while i was busy painting.

Naturally i put it in peaceful mode so no spiders of doom or zombies. He loved it!

Decided to branch out my scope of Halo gaming with Halo Wars




Playing more like a real time strategy than a FPS is an interesting take on the universe. The first Halo Wars takes place roughly 20 years before the first Halo game and HW2 takes place roughly 28 years after HW1 or just after Halo 5.

I still remain hopeful that a movie will be made one day and even further to that will actually be good.

I love Minecraft actually. If I'm bored, I'll often boot it up in creative and just build stuff. I haven't booted up the game recently though. I get burned out on it rather quickly.

I haven't played Halo Wars, but it reminds me a bit of StarCraft. StarCraft 2 is certainly one of my favorites though. I have a free version, so I can only play when my friend is online.

I did finish the main campaign of Resident Evil 4 the other night. *phew* I forgot how stressful that game is when you don't have your upgraded weapons. But usually once I beat the first play through, replaying the game is a breeze since I have all my upgraded weapons... *cough*infiniterocketlauncher*cough*

I'll probably stream some gameplay of Separate Ways, which explains what Ada Wong is up to during the main game. It's short-ish, but has some interesting details about the lore... I also love how ominous they made Wesker in this game.

Then Capcom crapped RE5 & RE6, and I haven't forgiven them since. =P

Edit: Here's the stream I did today. I did notice Capcom forgot to remaster the cutscenes, but... ehhh... lol

Murdoc's dream weapon.

I finally got around to finishing Petz Dogz 2 today. I didn't actually spend over 3 weeks on it, I just didn't play it that much during that time.

The final battle only took me like 5 minutes to complete, but I spent over an hour beforehand fishing and running around like a puppy
