Turbo Golf Racing

What do you get when you combine the cars from Rocket League and an arcadey version of golf? This… [Turbo Golf Racing Announcement Trailer] And you know what? It’s a lot of fun.

How Long to Beat?

PC Game Pass has recently integrated stats from How Long to Beat into the Xbox App. It’s a simple but clever addition. Of course one could always visit the How Long to Beat website and type in the relevant game to see its expected duration. It is now just more convenient. And I might add a perfectly suitable addition since Game Pass’s subscription model really lends itself to those shorter experiences. With that in mind, how much of a factor is a games length in your picking a game to play? Wit…

Local Area Network Gaming - The LAN!

Since the average age around here is at least 30+ I can confidently say that you’ve been to at least one, if not scores of LANs in your day. I am one of the few diehard traditionalists who carry on the sacred practice of the LAN along with a group of friends I’ve known since primary school. A couple of times a year, mostly when there is a public holiday we drag our PC’s to my one friend’s offices and set up a good old LAN. Despite the fact that most games have gone online only, there’s actually …

Gamers can help city services

There is a guy on twitter that I follow that posts interesting tweets about walkable cities, etc… This tweet caught my attention, seeing as we have many issues of our own here. Imagine how quickly all the potholes, missing manholes, etc would be documented if that was implemented here. How else could the power of gamers be used for the greater good.

Games to play with shitty/no internet

This was the discussion in Don’t Assume My Topic Thread - #3464 by GregRedd So what games can we play with no or shitty internet these days. Considering all the subscription, always on services these days. I’m thinking any game on gog.com should be playable offline.
