It's a little bit of Harvest Moon (but far less grindy) and a little bit of Animal Crossing. Can't wait for Haunted Chocolatier.

Thanks for explanation. If you have any tips, send them my way.

Finished level all fun levels on Lemmings, time to move to tricky (I don't think I ever completed all 30 levels, as I don't remember last 3-4 levels at all)

Walking Dead - The Final Season

Damn - some of the finest written games I have ever played - more like watching a TV series. Yes, not much gameplay, press buttons here and there, make a decision - but the writing is top quality.

Season 1 is still the best (so far) but although they had some mixed reviews, I loved the last 2 also

Never watched the show, never played the game, even I have it for a while now.

Damn, Stardew Valley is really time sink...

If you want all achievements, you have no other option but to play it at least twice, as you will need to get jojo membership in one run and save community house in other. (I think I've read that somewhere)

Still, very nice little gem.

The JojaMart run is actually quite short as you can get the membership after a few days if you rush to get it.

We should probably create topic about it, not to derail this topic. I am sure gimbal has tons of tips on how to get reach fast. (not really his kind of play, tho )

Fishing is the most lucrative early to mid game (especially when it rains...), don't rely only on farming. Other than that, it's a relax game so just do what you want. Most of the fun to be had in the first play is discovery.

On topic: been playing GTA 4 again. I don't know why, I just woke up one day and had an itch. Still fun even if the cars handle as if they all have warn out breaking systems.

Done the companion quests (Cait, Curie, MacCready + Valentine)

Found a .44 revolver (The Gainer) that does +15 incendiary damage
Gave it to Cait (She really needs more generic dialogue).

Finished last episode / season of Telltale's The Walking Dead

Hugely enjoyable, like watching an interactive boxset. I understand the gripes, limited gameplay and choices you make do not ulimately impact the path (more just which chracters survive / die)

However as an experience playing it, I would seriously say it has the best storyline of any game I have played in 40 years. cared for the characters, holds an emotional hold, great writing, etc.

Glad I invested the time to play, just hooks you from the start

Highly recommended for anyone who has it on a to do list

Now that I have got one of my RGH Xbox 360's all set up I've been playing with The Godfather, Fight Night Round 3 and Fight Night Round 4 for my 360 the last few days.

I finished Gothic 2 a couple of days ago and now I'm playing Gothic 3 with the CPT. Surprisingly the CPT does fix a lot of problems and the game hasn't crashed so far. It won't fix the unfinished ending I guess, but I'll give it another try.

Just completed Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2 (Special Editions) again - actually really like the improved special editions (maybe in the minority)

Started Curse of MI now - with the first 2 I remembered most of it and was not stuck too many times, COMI on the other hand.....

Turrican 2 AGA is rocking me and my son's world! Truly great and a fresh take on an already great game! Who knew that DOS was gifted a 256 colour version! It's good we can choose the Amiga Turrican sprite though! The ultimate version in the making!

You are not alone, both are well 'enhanced'. Wish they do the same with rest of the games, like The Dig and Indy series.


PC - Stardew Valley - Farmin' like crazy
Amiga - Lemmings - Tricky Level 18 at the moment

I am going to guess they will only re-release games with proper quality voice lines, so that would leave out the Indy adventure games. Indy 4 has pretty serviceable voice acting but the audio quality is quite poor.
