    Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • Project Gotham Racing 4

    It's a shame that the series isn't backwards compatible on the newest Xbox because they are awesome games. Driving has a really nice feel to it (not so much for the motorcycles), the circuit locations are all so well done and genuinely interesting to look at and race on. £2 well spent!

  • The Secrets of Sega Channel: VGHF recovers over 100 Sega Channel ROMs (and more)

    Jump

  • Sega was pretty wild with innovation back in the day.

    Jump

  • We’ll cut to the chase: In collaboration with multiple parties, we have recovered over 100 new Sega Channel ROMs, including system data, exclusive games, and even prototypes that were never published. We’ve also digitized internal paperwork and correspondence that reveals how Sega Channel operated, how it was marketed, and what would’ve come next for the service.

    Wow!

  • You could throw a dart blindfolded in 1998 and hit a new legendary game every time.

  • Kula World was suprisingly a lot of fun.

  • It's kind of funny how many late 90s games had at least one drum and bass track

  • Rollcage comes to mind straight away. 90s and early 00s games were full of jungle and drum & bass.

    Lots of people make original music now influenced by the genre, like Pizza Hotline

  • Hands-On With the Miyoo Mini Flip; The Modern Successor to the GBA SP (my review)

    Jump

  • If I didn't already have a Miyoo Flip v2 I would buy this version in a heartbeat. The love the clamshell design and portability of these things is a huge upside and I take it everywhere with me. I have been using MinUI on mine and it works great (especially quick save state and resume on open) but after reading your article I decided to change it up and move over to Knulli which has a lot more options.

  • Citizen Sleeper

    It's been a couple years since my first playthrough but enjoying it just as much this time. It's definitely a solid top 10 game for me so I really need to buy the sequel after I'm done.

  • Call to Arms - Gates of Hell: Ostfront

    I've been playing through the Finnish campaign and also some dynamic conquest on hard difficulty and getting absolutely destroyed by the ai :(

  • Do you cheat in video games?

    Jump

  • It's hard not to in 4 player GoldenEye :D

  • steam vs gog, which game store to buy from?

    Jump

  • It's ok to use all the different stores.

    Personally I use Steam for anything that has online functions and/or early access and GOG for everything else. Also I will buy direct from the developer (eg something like Software Inc) if I can but that option is getting harder to do.

  • What retro handhelds are the best value?

    Jump

  • I have a Flip v2 and think it's great. Very nice to use and carry around but the thumbsticks are average quality. It's probably my favourite to take out with me.

    So far I've tried a couple different firmware, MinUI and Knulli, and everything up to PS1 emulation is good but stuff like N64/DC/PSP can be problematic.

  • A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again

    Jump

  • Yeah I do all that myself with ETS2 but wanted to give another example.

  • It didn't really take off to begin with but dual screen support like Supreme Commander had with the real-time map overview on the 2nd monitor. It could be a skirmish map or live track map for a racing game, live scoreboard, player status or inventory system.

  • I have the slim model and it was surprisingly easy with a good tutorial video and a set or torx screwdrivers.

    As for controllers I also did that too with a good clean and new thumbsticks but sorry can't help with any 3rd party recommendations.

  • I decided to dust off the Xbox 360 and played a couple games that aren't available on the new consoles. I also gave it a refresh with new thermal paste, bearing oil for the fan and a good clean. It's running great now.

    Burnout Crash, it's a top down version of crash mode from the main games.

    Swarm, you collect 50 swarmites and make your way through the levels using student abilities.

  • Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

    Jump

  • That is a reason why offline installers are so important. At the very least we should be able to disable auto updates and still launch the (outdated) game.
