some things from my backlog that i want to get to next year probably

The more I look at them, the more strangely different these two box arts are.

SoulCalibur II On top of being one of the best fighting games, Link is so much fun to play as. There's a lot of modes and plenty to unock. (Read Full Review)

I wouldn't mind seeing a remastered collection of the console and handheld Sims games.

Gotta love people acting like dicks, insulting you (one ironically being "Go back to Twitter", despite them being aggressive) then blocking you after sending you another insult. Nothing wrong with blocking people, but sending an insult then blocking is so immensely childish.

My thoughts on the Stargate SG-1 pilot episode Children of the Gods. Also, my rewatch of Stargate coincided nicely with the announcement of a new Stargate show. djcube.co.uk/stargate-sg-...

Piglet’s Big Game A lovely little kids horror game. Lots of nice visuals and a surprisingly creepy atmosphere. (Read Full Review)

I voted in every category that deserved a vote.

I'm going to attempt writing TV episode reviews as I rewatch all of Stargate. Started off with the film, I'll see how I get on. djcube.co.uk/stargate-mov...

My review of Balatro. The roguelike genre makes a ton of sense as a card game. djcube.co.uk/balatro/

Top four games I've finished this year.

It's a morning for a proper breakfast.

My review of Sonic Rumble - a really fun game if you don't get sucked into the insane monetisation. djcube.co.uk/sonic-rumble/ #sonicthehedgehog #sonicrumble

Batman: Dark Tomorrow A game so unfinished, it's astounding. There's a fixed camera because the devs never got round to making one - in fact, the porting company ended up making a lot of the game as the main developers mainly had cutscenes and music. (Read Full Review)

I have no idea why, but my son has decided that Sonic Rumble is called "Sonic and the big big wet soggy ring".

Still the best 3D Sonic.

My second Mega Man game, after Mega Man 64.

A great idea for a Wii U game is hidden in the GameCube version of Rayman 3. The player on the GBA creates a road with puzzle pieces, the players in the screen races on it. There's also a 2v2 version of it.

I gave Sonic Rumble a whirl. Seems decent although microtransactions and unlocks look absolutely horrible. Not sure if the game starts you off with bots to ease you in before pitting you against advanced players so you have to upgrade.

Sonic Unleashed The Wii version is great, with a much better lives system and better level design. #DailyVideoGame

Karmaka A game with lovely artwork. Try to level up to the highest plane of existence. #DailyBoardGame

Vexx A really fun platformer that didn't live up to its full potential due to some issues during development. (Read Full Review)

Local bonfire display was quite nice.

My most played Nintendo games (according to the data they have).

It's a bit random for Nintendo to have play activity in the shop app, but it's nice that it supports Wii U and 3DS data.

I was excited to see North Wales in a video game, although it was nothing like the real location.

"Are Grandma's batteries running out?" is possibly the creepiest question my 3 year old has asked.

Your Mount Rushmore of game consoles/handhelds

Professor Layton and the Last Specter I imported this game as the European version didn't have a large secondary RPG mode. #DailyVideoGame

Raiders of the North Sea One of my favourite games. A great worker placement. #DailyBoardGame

Some attempts at pumpkins.

Halo Reach For me this was the start of Halo's downfall. #DailyVideoGame

Gosu A game that was gifted to me. I don't know much about it. #DailyBoardGame

My review of Luigi's Mansion. It's a wonderful game and it's worth checking out the PAL version. djcube.co.uk/luigis-mansi...

Played a few fun games last night. Autumn Harvest (a Tea Dragon Society game), Harmonies and Spots.

Alan Wake (Collector's Edition) A nice book-like case that has sadly been damaged due to a flood. #DailyVideoGame

Cheese Master A cute little game with Pac-Man cheese. #DailyBoardGame

Duke Nukem Zero Hour added to my list of all the N64 PC ports that are out there djcube.co.uk/n64-pc-port-...

A cute little pumpkin.

It's not a genre I do well with, but even I can tell that this is a shining example of one.

Mario Kart DS A really fun Mario Kart. #DailyVideoGame

God of War: The Card Game A co-op adventure based on the game. #DailyBoardGame

Can you believe they made a game about cheap British crisps?

Okami A lovely looking game, but one I've unfortunately not been able to get into. #DailyVideoGame

Magic Maze A fun little game set in a shopping mall. #DailyBoardGame

My review of Luigi's Mansion: djcube.co.uk/luigis-mansi...

Nintendo Land A selection of games that shows off the Wii U's multiplayer potential. #DailyVideoGame

Shipwrights of the North Sea The weakest part of the North Sea series, but still fun. I need to try the revised edition. #DailyBoardGame

What a bizarre advert. If you know the lore of the game, then Microsoft are essentially saying that pre-ordering their game is bowing down to an oppressive company. Which isn't entirely untrue. I suppose it fits considering a pre-order doesn't let you play the game on release day.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks A fun Zelda game where Zelda dies and Link gets a train. The annoying controls meant I couldn't beat the final boss. #DailyVideoGame
