![]() ![]() Games from two console generations ago run out of the box with very few issues, barely draining valuable battery charge and controlling beautifully thanks to the Deck’s Xbox-like sticks and buttons. There will always be more Xenoblade.Ī month or two ago I realised that the Steam Deck is at its best when treated like a portable Xbox 360. First on the list: finishing Cult Of The Lamb on my Steam Deck while I’m tucked up in bed under a duvet. Which is just as well, because I have a veritable mountain of games to catch up on now that September’s crazy review season is finally over. ![]() I was struck down by post-EGX Covid this week, and while I think I’ve largely recovered (thank the stars), I’m still testing positive, so no outside fun times for me this weekend. I’ve lazily left the final two levels of Metal: Hellsinger unfinished, so I should probably get on those. Maybe I’ll stick to career mode and try to push Derby back into the EFL Championship. ![]() It’s going to be a long weekend of building squads, missing shots, and getting frustrated when the opponent keeps pausing in Ultimate Team. It’s Fifa time, which means it’s the one part of the year when I care about football. Otherwise, I’ll probably catch up on the new Lord Of The Rings show. So, err, I might be able to slot in some late night Xenoblade Chronicles 3 if I’m looking to feel re-energised by typically bonkers anime battles. I’m a bit busy this weekend with – shock horror – a badminton tournament. I played the Beacon Pines demo a few Steam fests back and had an interesting time, so diving into it a little via PC Game Pass looks likely. Might give Grounded a go now that’s out of early access too, although probably with the potato-spider mode engaged. I think we’ll probably carry on doing that a bit more, as both my kids really seem to enjoy it. We started playing Splatoon 2 as a family spectator sport last weekend. Oh, and I’ve got to finish that that Brutalist Quake map pack. So much cyber, so little time (only 58 days to go!). Even though not much is new since I last played, and it’d be better to wait for the expansion? Ah no, I have a new-ish Deus Ex: Mankind Divided save I’ve let sit for several months, I should clear that up. What are you playing this weekend? Here’s what we’re clicking on!Īs I begin preparing for the most important holiday of the year, Cyber Monday, I’m feeling weirdly drawn back to Cyberpunk 2077. You can keep that bloody nose all month to get a jump on Halloween. ![]() Weapons to wield while you're racing include toxic clouds, death spin mines, and erm, flash photography! There is also a selection of mini-games to unlock that includes Dance Crazy Frog! and Pinball.It’s been a while since I could do this: pinch and a pinch for the first of the month, and no returns! You’ve been… Octobered. In Crazy Frog Racer 2, you can get all interactive with the 'Ding Ding!' madness and race as either the Annoying Thing or one of his friends - the Evil General or Torpedo Drone - as you race around the varied circuits of the Crazy Frog world, such as the cityscape of Axel F or the beaches of Popcorn. We thought it was a pretty good game overall kind of a cross between F-Zero and WipeOut - we kid you not! Crazy Frog Racer 2 doesn't fiddle with the winning formula, you'll be glad to hear. There was much hoo-hah (and no little gnashing of teeth from some infidels) in winter 2005 when the original CF game appeared, with all the frog's utterances intact. Just when you thought it had gone away for good, the Annoying Thing (Crazy Frog to you and me) is back in Turtle Games' imaginatively-titled Crazy Frog Racer 2 for PS2. ![]()
