Just watched Live After Death by Iron Maiden now it's time to play more Absolum, weekends are so good.

If this xbox played xbox games i would seriously consider getting one. Being able to have played my xbla games would have been fantastic on one of these not very portable machines. Titles like, daytona usa, guardian heroes, after burner, sega rally arcade etc would be so good. Nevermind.

Stunning game. Loved the demo, bought the ps5 physical on release day.

Gameplay is top notch, the best I've played since Guardian Heroes which is my No1. Sidestepping attacks into a counter feels awesome. The depth of moves is brilliant. Everything flows so well.

Picked up Absolum yesterday. Put a few hours in and I'm loving it. A new generation Golden Axe. I'm not a huge fan of roguelites but this one has enough depth in gameplay and sense of progression that it's driving me to do that 'just one more run' thing.

It's superb isn't it, I picked my copy up today and put an hour in. The depth of the offence/defence move set really makes for satisfying gameplay.

Hush now my dove, my hands will let you fly once more. #absolum

Fantastic game. I bought my copy from Argos for £30.

Ooooh, nice! I loved the demo, Golden Axe vibes are strong. It's on my to buy list.

E33 is the only one I have played. At it's current price it's something I won't invest in.

It's good to have a sell off every now and then. I have WII, GameCube and Xbox360 games I might go through.

Such a waste of a top class studio. It'll be a whole decade between releases from them.

Time to play Coffin Dodgers.

If they pared back the size, scope and graphics of the game they could. Go for a 7hr campaign and reuse assets for sequels.

If they release a limited edition controller buy it quick before the game disappears.

Ball X Pit is the one for me. Loved the demo.

The negative took a phenomenal amount of work to get this print, a real masterpiece of the darkroom. I believe the photo was taken without a light meter but he knew the peak brightness of the moon and based his calculations on that. A great classic image.

Machine learning, upscaling, compression to make a more efficient pipeline is key. Developing software to aid a more efficient release cadence for games is also something which should be looked at. We are at a point of diminishing returns for brute forcing games, time to work smarter, not harder.

They are a great band. I haven't heard Brave New World yet, I'll check it out. My favourite so far is Fear of the Dark, I bought Number of the Beast and Live in Fear. All are superb. I love getting into a band and exploring years of music releases.

Do you have a favourite? I have just started listening to their albums. I have bought a few but there is a lot out there.

New game time. I always wanted Mamorukun for Xbox 360 but it never released in the UK and the import was region locked. Thanks to City Connection and Clear River it now has a release in the UK. #PS5 #shmup

Hip hop Friday. Back to the classics. Stetsasonic 'In Full Gear'. Talkin All That Jazz sounds as good today as it did back in 88. #nowplaying #hiphop

Beast Over Hammersmith is absolutely incredible. One of the best live albums I've heard. #ironmaiden #nowplaying #nowspinning

Wednesday morning new to me music. Just bought Number of the Beast 40th collection with the Beast Over Hammersmith live set. An incredible album. Millions know this already, I'm late to the party.
