I got a chance to play the demo of Replaced today and Ryan is 100% right. It’s an awesome game. You should check it out on Steam.

Anyone play this yet? I had written it off since the trailer looked mid at best but these reviews are really high.

If you've been playing the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection and wanted to check out some of the other Midway games mentioned, you should pick up Midway Arcade Origins on Xbox. It includes three of the games mentioned: Pit-Fighter, Smash TV and Total Carnage, plus 27 others.

After owning The Order 1886 for years I FINALLY got around to playing it this morning. That game still looks incredible and it was released for the PS4 in 2015; more than ten years ago! Of course IGN gave it a bad review, but what else can you expect from them?

I love the game preservation work GOG is doing. It’s so important, especially since the games are DRM free. Quickly becoming my favorite place to acquire and play classic games. This article on their preservation of Dino Crisis is really interesting.

Sadly my main gaming PC SSD died on me and I lost all of my accumulated games and videos I had. This unintentionally put Turbo Times on a temporary hiatus but I’m finally getting back up and running and plan to resume the series very soon.

Finally rolled credits on Limbo for the first time today, even though I had played it many times before. Hauntingly beautiful but sometimes frustrating experience. Love the idea of the physics-based puzzles and the complete lack on on screen instructions or guides. Very artful experience overall.

I played the new battlefield 6 battle Royale this morning and not too surprising it was a bit of a disappointment. I know call of duty‘s been doing it a lot longer, but Warzone is such a more enjoyable experience.
