I do remember the Sonic educational game in the 90s as well a couple of Mario games back in the day. Hopefully, they can make even more engaging Educational games as this will be of great benefit to future generations of kids.

The cost is definitely a huge sticking point but it should get cheaper as the tech is more integrated into the gaming industry.

Agreed. I wish companies like Activision, Ubisoft, EA and Bethesda would take notes on how to give back to the communities that made them popular. All they're focused on is fleecing their playerbase of money.

Yeah. It didn't get much coverage by the media at large but the few that bothered to cover it in 2022 raved about its storytelling. I haven't personally played it myself.

There's plenty of games like that. Skyrim, Fallout 4, God Of War series, The Last Of US series, Deus Ex Series, Metal Gear etc.

I totally get where you're coming from, especially about the scalpers and resellers. It's frustrating to see prices skyrocket on games you genuinely want to play, not just collect. One of my biggest pet peeves is when stores don't properly check the condition of used games. I've bought a few 'like new' games only to find scratches on the disc or missing manuals when I get home. It makes the shopping experience feel like a gamble sometimes.

The Purge (2013) - 8/10

Weekly update: How's everyone's week been going so far? Mine's been a bit iffy but I'm doing okay for the most part. How about you?

Was crushing it in some Baldur's Gate 3 - I came up with a new experimental Wizard build but I haven't quite perfected it yet so I won't say more as of yet.

Which Megaman games will you be getting? I'm going for the Battle Network series - what about you?

Hmmm - It looks okay I guess? I don't get a lot from this trailer - open-world survival horror game? I get that but where's the gameplay?

As a lover of older vehicular combat games like Twisted Metal, I'm quite liking the look of this game. I hope they'll introduce more game modes than just the fastest player wins like deathmatches and what not.

It depends on how much energy I have. When I'm really up for it, I'll take an extended walk with my pooch or we go the beach for a walk there.

Although I like both I do slightly prefer eBooks because of the convenience. That being said, I do have both types and I have some pretty iconic physical books.

With streaming services dominating the music industry, I'm curious if anyone here still buys physical music like records or CDs. Do you enjoy the tangible experience of collecting music, or is it more about the nostalgia? How often do you buy, and what motivates you to choose physical over digital?

When it comes to enjoying music, do you find yourself gravitating towards solo listening sessions or do you prefer sharing the experience with others? Whether it's the personal connection you feel with your favorite tracks or the joy of vibing with friends, I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

Whether it’s a timeless classic or a hidden gem, what’s that one game you think everyone should experience at least once? It could be something with an unforgettable story, addictive gameplay, or a game that just offers pure fun. Share your top recommendation and why you think it’s a must-play for anyone, regardless of their usual gaming preferences.

Have you ever noticed that skills or habits you picked up from gaming have actually benefited you in real life? Maybe strategic thinking from a strategy game, improved hand-eye coordination, or even better social skills from online multiplayer games?
