Mega CD: Snatcher

Alright if you can find it on the cheap. I sold mine for ~ £50 back in my uni days. A PAL version sells for around £3-400 now.

An early Hideo Kojima game. Blade Runner-esque.

I hated the original on ps. I could never get away from the cops.

I completed the 1st city in the east & the 2nd in the west & half of the 3rd (& final) in the middle (vegas area) - where there was no active map to help = SO hard

Loved it

Haven't played any games since my Atari Jaguar got stolen 25 years ago. Best game on that was Alien v Predator. Used to put it through the hi-fi and play it standing up in the dark. Scared the bejaysus out of us, those pings getting louder and not knowing where it was.

Other game from there worth a mention was Jeff Minters Tempest 2000.

PUBG is very good. A little unpolished but still very enjoyable. I'm also guilty of playing WoW. However I didn't enjoy Warlords that much, and Legion is even worse.

Yeah PUBG can be a little annoying but given its a Beta I think they have done an excellent job, even though I am rubbish at it the addictive looting factor and never having the same game twice keeps me coming back.

Re: WOW, this could have a thread on its own! I think they completely lost their way after Cata, I know Cata gets slated but I feel that was the start of the dumbing down but still really enjoyed it. I never made it to Legion but I am really looking forward to classic! I hope that Bliz stay true to the likes of Nostalrius and don't arse about with classic to appeal to a wider audience.

Looking forward to the next HS expansion? They are being a bit more generous with the pre-purchase which has tempted me.

Would really recommend Gwent if you fancy a change from HS. Very free to play friendly and much more in-depth i think.

I kind of a have a love hate relationship with HS. I don't like the model and feel Blizzard take the piss a bit so I have not been buying expansions. I virtually only play one class (I have always done this to be fair even from Beta) which is priest so by doing daily quests I get enough coins to make the new priest decks I want. At the moment I am not doing much more than logging in, doing quests and logging out again. I don't want to get behind though as you'll never catch up again. I will come back to it in the future though and play more as I have in the past.

I looked at Gwent but last time i checked there was no mobile app and I mostly play these on my phone/ipad. Have they sorted that now?

No mobile/tablet version yet, they haven't even given a hint that they are working on one. They are putting a lot of work into the single player "Thronebreaker" mode which looks interesting.

Seeing as so many are ignoring the one game rule I'm also going to throw the Bioshock series and Pilotwings64 in to the mix.
