DA:I was pretty cool yeah, great gfx and story. Found it got a bit repetitive though, but I guess that is because the game was so long. Hard to complain when you can get 80+ hours out of a playthrough!!

For Skyrim look into modding to spice it up a bit. Mods sometimes break things, but some of the highest rated ones can actually give you some more motivation to dip back in. Again I found it hard to complain that a game got 'samey' after I'd played 100 hours :) Still a shame they didn't do a sequel but went into MMO's, haven't been impressed by what I've heard of Elder Scrolls online and not forking out ?50 to find out.....

Did you take a look at Mordheim: City of the Damned (on Steam) Sax? Loooks like it might be up your street. Early access at the moment so maybe just worth watching but might have promise.

Welcome back Sax! Glad to hear you're safe and well. I can only imagine the paranoia - my hypochrondriac alarm goes off if someone has a nasty cough behind me in the supermarket queue! :)

I'm currently playing Dragon Age Inquisition and loving it so far. Visually stunning and great story (as expected). There's a few negatives such as the weird jumping physics and truly terrible tactical camera, but overall it's a good game. I know I'm late to the party but I've been waiting for the bugs to be patched and the price to drop (as Las says, game prices are getting crazy for new releases). Managed to pick it up for ?14.99 in the recent Origins sale.

Also been playing some Skyrim. Again visually stunning and the story is interesting (if disjointed) but I've started to run out of motivation to see the story through because the combat is so samey. DA:I has more enjoyable combat. I guess Skyrim is something to dip into from time to time.

Would LOVE to play Witcher 3 but I don't think my PC can handle it. I was about to build a new PC based around one of the new Skylake CPUs but then supply dried up and prices went through the roof. So I'm currently sitting it out until CPU prices get more stable again.

Hey Sax, welcome back ! :)

Still working my way through a host of games that I bought but hadn't found the time to play :) Only real new release I got was SOMA, which is really cool if you ask me (exploration/hide and seek scary game). Most games seem to be coming out with a ?40-?50 price tag these days (on Steam anyway), does seem like fairly rpaid inflation to me ! Was wondering about pre-ordering Fallout 4 but might just wait....not sure yet!

Glad to see you got back ok anyway!

All was good, very cool and different experience and I didn't get Ebola!  Though I did get paranoia a few times which is almost as bad ;p

Hope everyone is doing well :)

Anyone got any games to recommend?  I am waiting for Warhammer Total War atm, whilst playing Hearthstone and Endless Legend and just started Walking Dead the other day.

The ?50 pre entry Warhammer event seems a bit steep to me, hope the actual game is cheaper!

Yeah it can turn into quite a long game and there's no real end is there? You'll always lose at some point but I often end up just giving stuff away :)

Good to hear from you Xan and glad things are well, I haven't tried Hearthstone at all but i hear plenty of people love it. Playing mostly RPG's still these days (still working my way through DA Inquisition as well as Pillars of Eternity and Witcher 3). I also buy too many games on Steam sales and have a big back catalogue to get through :) So don't really need to buy anything new but still end up doing so :p

I did have a chat with Sax before he went yeah, sounds like an adventure and a bit of a change from the fish ! Hope all is good for him there

I stumbled on this abit ago, problem is i don't want to quit when i hit the top, 5-10 minutes ends up 30 :p And hello, been a long time. Hope everyone is well

All i play that consistently now is Hearthstone, i don't know why because it makes me want to jump out a window sometimes. The odd game of sc2, the next xpac will be out soon. I played League of Legends for awhile but that made me want to throw everyone else from a window :p Whats everyone else playing if anything?

If you didn't know Sax is in Sierra Leone testing peeps blood for Ebola, not actually sure how long he's out there for but only been couple of weeks.

Good fun, although I'm rather crap at it with a top score of 222. I almost managed to swallow France, but got gobbled by Norway :)

A controller works, I used my PS3 controller for a bit and it was ok, at least way better than mouse & keyboard.

It's a fun and extremely pretty game, but it is quite a timesink. The main issues for me are the sandbox nature of the game meaning you have to give yourself some goal and the time involved in doing anything, even just flying from planet to planet doing delivery missions can take quite a bit of time.

I should give Elite Dangerous another try, but I got into the Witcher 3 now, so it'll have to wait (a long time since the Witcher 3 is huge).

I've loved all the Telltale games I've played so far (The Walking Dead seasons 1 & 2 and The Wolf Among Us) and I certainly plan to pick up the GoT & Borderlands one eventually.

Saints Row IV is just silly & fun, sort of a mix between GTA and a superhero game with crazy over the top action and lots of humour.
