Re downloading it today after the woeful launch of yesterday. Hoping for better results. Microsoft you knew all this ahead of launch and yet it still failed. For some no problems but for most probably still nothing but long queues and long loading times. Not all of us have huge internet connections either. Sort it.

Ok let’s be totally honest before kicking off, Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League has gotten off to a rocky start. But since midnight here in the UK (only played for a few minutes then bye byes an all), I’ve had no problems. No glitches, no bugs, no offline maintenance nothing. And you know I’m having a blast with these four incredible funny anti heroes. I’m playing as Boomerang and he’s brilliant and funny. Great graphics, awesome gameplay, and the action is top draw. But there are sinister goings on in this. That’s the story I’m talking about. So far so good from Rocksteady. I’m loving it but I know there are some hating it. And I’m betting the hate will come from the critics when the official reviews come out. Ok finally it’s not perfect but I’m having a blast. And that’s the most important thing. Enjoy folks if you can.

When I got my PS4 console many moons ago now, The Last Of Us Remastered was one of the first few games I bought and rather cheap too I might add. But it took me years to play it and complete it. Only in the last few months has that now happened and wow, I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt this is up there as the PlayStation game to buy and own, whether it’s on the PS3, PS4 or now the remake on PS5, this game has stood the test of time and some. Troy Baker (Joel), Ashley Johnson (Ellie) are absolutely outstanding in their roles in this epic and awesome game. When I first got wind of The Last Of Us tv series I was first of all dubious as I’m sure most hardened The Last Of Us gamers will no doubt have been. How’s it gonna be, who’s gonna be Joel, who’s gonna be Ellie, how’s it gonna be compared to the game? Lots of questions and some. But when I heard Neil Druckmann (The Last Of Us creator) was at the helm I felt a peace. Then news came Craig Mazin (who created Chernobyl wow that is tv at its absolute best) was also joining forces with Neil. Then news came about Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey were casted as Joel and Ellie, again I was dubious. Then the trailers came. Excitement starts to gain momentum. A release date is then given by show runners HBO mid January this year. And I can safely say to all those who’ve played the game and love it, this is the best game adaptation into a tv series ever. The creators have stayed very true to the game but also done things a little differently but that has excelled this incredible tv series into the stratosphere. The five episodes I’ve watched so far have been the greatest ever when it comes to a tv series. Everything about this tv series is absolutely brilliant. Druckmann and Mazin you’ve done an incredible and those who played the game know full well this series is only get tougher but also more beautiful. Pascal and Ramsey are amazing as Joel and Ellie and with season 2 coming in the not to distant future Game Of Thrones move over, your crown has now been taken by the new greatest tv show in history, ladies and gentlemen I give you The Last Of Us, a tv series that is unforgettable, shocking, amazing, beautiful, thought provoking, powerful and outstanding. Awards galore this will get. Looking forward to the rest of this incredible series.

The fact there are no critic reviews says this game isn’t worth my time and especially my money so not even wasting my energy. Maybe wait for a sale but even that won’t tempt me.

Firstly it’s not Game Of Thrones, but there is a lot GoT thru it all. Like the spine of every episode there’s are little moments nuances of GoT. Secondly a tribute to the cast. Awesome actors and actresses picked for this. Also tribute to the those who created something that will live long in the memory and thankfully will never replace the greatest show on earth in living memory that is GoT! Simply it’s NOT a GoT beater, let me just say that. And it doesn’t try to be either. Thirdly. The first five episodes feature a younger cast, Milly Alcock (young Rhaenyra) and Emily Carey (young Alicent) and they are beautiful and brilliant in their roles. Awesome acting by the both of them. Fourthly. It’s a show where I feel there is a game of chess being played and no one knows what’s gonna happen which makes it’s ultra exciting. Finally. The first episode of the new generation (this weeks episode 6) is the new time jump of ten years. With Emma D’Arcy (Rhaenrya) and Olivia Cooke (Alicent) and I feel Cooke steals the show with her new fierce Alicent. Things are happening you never thought would but also the show is getting more tense and exciting. Another shout out to Ryan J. Condal, George R.R. Martin and Miguel Sapochnik, they created something different but equally classic Game Of Thrones in every way. Westeros is back and it’s better than ever.

So we had the classic naughty dog remastered one which I’ve just completed and wow that is just truly awesome and memorable. And this one. Well early days in this but all I can say is it’s not for the faint of heart but then again it’s not meant to be. You start out as Joel, a little replay of the last moments of the first one, remastered or part 1 (new one), then you play as Ellie, then you play as Abby, now not sure about Abby she’s new and it seems her and the guy she’s with has plans but don’t know what plans they are. In short outstanding, brilliant. The first one got under my skin a little, mentally absorbing and you really entered into Joel and Ellie and now probably more of the same. The violence goes up a notch, bloody, gory and down right sickening but it’s naughty dog and it’s what required for a game that really has no joyful moments. What I’ve played is amazing and I shall continue soon. Oh and when there’s moody music, get your weapons ready cos it’s fight time, and stealth killing so much better than gun play.

You have Top Gun from 1986, an out and out classic. Then you have this absolutely brilliant sequel. This so much better in every way. Lots of little remembrances of the 1986 classic, but this has to be seen in the cinema. I saw it at the Vue, but wouldn’t mind seeing it in the deserved way iMax. Outstanding.

Simply put this is the greatest game ever made. I’m not familiar with From Software games apart from I’ve heard they are infamous for being incredibly hard. This is no different for Elden Ring. Players are based in a world called The Lands Between. Only a few more words are needed, this quite simply is the perfect starting point for newbies to Souls games. The scope, the size, the world, the gameplay, everything about this game is awesome, amazing, outstanding, brilliant, superb, anymore superlatives I can give it, it truly deserves. This rightly deserves game of the year, game of the century, game of the millennia. Must buy must own, must play. Be warned it’ll take over your life. In a good way though.
