Who doesn’t love singing that shit?

I’ve never been into sports, and never particularly good at them (I was passable at rugby until the other guys had their growth spurts), but I was always pretty fast as a kid. I did OK with middle-distance running and cross country, but the 100m is where I really did well. There weren’t many kids I couldn’t beat in my…

I have been tempted by Golf Story. Probably my biggest surprise with the Switch is just how much of an indie box it’s become! In just the last few months there have been a ridiculous number of top quality indies coming out for it. Sure, most of them have been on other consoles too, and have maybe been portable before…

The whole point is that this is revealed over the course of the game, and is meant to make you gradually question your actions. Not many games do that, and certainly not in 2005.

I’ve been determined to get Mario and Zelda for Christmas (Zelda is best played at Christmas. It’s the law). The rumours of stock issues, combined with feeling like I deserved a treat after a shitty couple of weeks at work lead to me getting one last month.

Yeah, I guess no-one is going to risk trying it, as it’s far more recognisable as a Nazi symbol now. I was just curious if a cultural/historical argument could be made, but I guess it just wouldn’t be worth the hassle!

There are lots of variations on it, but I’ve certainly seen the ‘traditional’ Nazi swastika used in Hindu temples.

My comment about needing magic was facetious - I meant that that’s what the devs (or publisher, whichever) would likely have thought - “it’s a fantasy RPG, get some magic in there!”

Out of curiosity, is the ban unquestionable, or if there was a level in an Uncharted/Tomb Raider type game set in a Hindu temple could an argument be made for including swastikas? I’m guessing maybe not if (as another commenter says) games are not considered a protected art form in Germany.

I can see why they put it in - an RPG needs magic, right? - and I did like having multiple characters, it felt like anything GoT related needs that, plus it tied in to the story elements at the end I seem to remember liking.

Yeah, there were definitely hints of some interesting ideas, but whether due to lack of time, money or ability nothing quite worked the way it should.

I managed to clear out everything I wanted for it, but I occasionally look back on that library with almost awe. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with lots of shooters of the type you’d see on the 360, I’ve got a lot of them, and many are great! But for sheer variety you can’t really beat the likes of Zack and…

Swinging the wii-mote like a bell and realising it was to the theme from the first level of Super Ghouls and Ghosts remains on of my most memorable and joyful gaming experiences of the last decade.

People say the Wii had no games, but it actually had loads, really interesting ones that were unlike anything on any other console, you just had to hunt for them a bit.

It also seems to becoming an amazing indie box, kind of picking up where the Vita left off.

Give him $3.99 and you’ll get a random chapter sent to you. It may or may not be a chapter you have received before.

I seem to remember that doing some interesting story things, especially towards the end.

I know, but what’s really baking my noodle is, did you take advantage of the spoon-based opening, or did you mention miso in the hope someone would set you up?

Did you...did you set up your own joke?

There is no way on Earth I am clicking on that link. I don’t care how curious I am.
