Bit of a necro, but with the #GameStruck4 hashtag blowing up on Twitter today, I ended up digging around to find this after I'd posted mine. Pretty cool to see this list marries up exactly to what I posted, and my reasoning is still totally unchanged too. Guess I should be pretty happy with my list ...

I'll be there as usual! Already got the week booked off work

What are EA doing on Saturday though?! First Sunday got brought into it, now this! Starting to ruin our chaotic Monday!

Also, if we don't get Cyberpunk, we riot.

Thanks for posting this as usual MS

Can't believe God of War is out in 2 weeks...that's come around way too quick, and it's on my list too. Both Farcry and Sea of Thieves have been great stream games imo. As in, I have a lot of fun WATCHING them but I know they'd bore me extremely quickly if I were to play them. Both very pretty thoug...

That is very pretty

I'll get that uploaded in the next couple of days

These are so difficult for me to answer these days, as I seem to get through games so slowly and always struggle to fill a list! I'll do my best though, out of everything I've played for the first time in 2017 - not necessarily what was RELEASED in 2017. I'll go for a top 5 as that's all I could rea...

Finally had time to play it!!! Choices, choices :) http://www.shatteredstar.org/images/annyimages/lisbts_ep3_major.jpg http://www.shatteredstar.org/images/annyimages/lisbts_ep3_minor.jpg http://www.shatteredstar.org/images/annyimages/20171225021523_1.jpg http://www.shatteredstar.org/images/annyimage...

The Okami art style is pretty cool. Not seen art like that in anything I've played for a while now!

It's not a fully fledged episode. They haven't said exactly what it IS, but they've said it isn't that. It's just something nice for the fans. I doubt they'll announce a boxed LE till it's out, so I'm hoping it's not too long after episode 3 :) I'm sad BTS is only 3 episodes long though, as I feel w...

Greatest game of all time (Life is Strange: Before the Storm) episode 2 choices abound guys!!! :D http://www.shatteredstar.org/images/annyimages/lisbts_ep2_major.jpg http://www.shatteredstar.org/images/annyimages/lisbts_ep2_minor.jpg Such a good episode. Really stoked for more!

I don't really play many board games these days myself (not through lack of wanting, but lack of relatively geeky friends), but see them discussed and recommended every now and again. Primarily, the best place I'd go to for recommendations is Penny Arcade, because Gabe and Tycho are big fans and eve...

I'm so so happy and excited to be back in Arcadia Bay! Hella hyped! :D My choices: http://www.shatteredstar.org/images/annyimages/lisbts_ep1_major.jpg http://www.shatteredstar.org/images/annyimages/lisbts_ep1_minor.jpg Not sure we could have been much more different MS :lol:

That tweaked version looks perfect to me mate. That's the best of them by miles now

First, thanks for putting these together as usual bud. Very much appreciated, and I agree with Kon that we should pretty much make all of these avatars after this :) My pick would definitely be 7, though I do agree with the others that it feels a little dark to me towards the edges. If we could ligh...

Uncharted looks as stunning as ever! Great pics bud!

Got my copy midweek and can't wait to play, but unfortunately I also got Persona 5 and Kiwami this week, and only just started Nier Automata

Might be a while!

What were your overall thoughts on Observer mate? Curious, since it does look awesome even if not for me!

Long time no see Wedge, great to have you back among us again :D Sounds like you've had quite the eventful decade whilst we've just continued loitering around our corner of the internet haha! Consoles are so convenient as you grow older to be fair, I think most of us have been drawn in to some degre...

Great to see you Waterstar, as always welcome back to the fold and it's great to hear from you! Congrats on making the success of your board gaming group! It's pretty great to have built a community like that - often wished there was something like that local to me tbh that I could do some RP with, ...

Glad to hear (and see!) that it's a good remaster...I just wish they'd done it to a better game tbh :blank: To date FF12 is the only Final Fantasy game I've ever thrown out my copy of. It was such, SUCH a poor game with an unfinished story, a lame main character, and mechanics that played themselves...

It's less so much the price it is now, more the fact that I know I won't get to it for at least a few months as my backlog is ridiculous

It'll likely be MUCH cheaper by the time I get to playing it, so really I could just wait it out. But with a good deal, happy to buy now

If I can get it discounted, Nier Automata is high on my list from the sale. I've been waiting for a price drop as it's too expensive for me atm. I don't plan to buy loads as my backlog is already ridiculously huge at this point, but of those you've listed I'm already debating Hitman. Will be interes...

Just wanted to say that it has been a pleasure watching E3 with you guys once again this year! E3 is one of my fav times of the year by far and while there's always the excitement of seeing all the new trailers, gameplay demos, big surprises etc, it simply wouldn't be the same without you guys &...

A few interesting ones here that had indeed slipped past me over the course of the week! Ignoring those I already knew of or had made my mind up on, I've added the following to my watch list (or, in some cases, my watch more closely list) :) ⋅ Rain of Reflections ⋅ Kingdom Come D...

Very interesting review from your end MS, especially seeing how you've been much kinder to the EA/Bethesdas of the world than I was! Our differing approach in writing the reviews is quite interesting too, as I think I'd broadly agree more with your order if I approached it the same way. I try to det...

Time for my press conference review too! Keeping with the format from last year as I thought that worked well, but I'm also introducing a new element - a sum up of our collective feelings from Discord! I've not read yours yet MS to avoid bias, but will reply to it separately as soon as I've had the ...

You deserve your rest, another thoroughly detailed, interesting read as usual!

The board probably deserves spotlighting more than it does archiving though given your articles here
