I joined them with Saints Row 3 back in the day and enjoyed 4/GOH.

I even played AND platinumed Agents of Mayhem (Depression can make you do weird things man)

But my favorite game from them will always be Red Faction Guerilla. To this day the destruction in that game still hasnt been rivaled in the AAA console market (if it has please point me in the right direction).

The gameplay was simple but the destruction added so much fun to it. Even the multiplayer had some crazy moments only possible due to those physics. I even got to the Ostrich Hammer playing in the og xbox 360 lobbies.

RIP Volition, I wish every employee the best

Looking forward to revisiting at a reduced price but still cant help but feel a bit letdown with this just being a port. With RDR2 having so much of the RDR1 map built in it and having it already be 5 years since that launched I was hoping/expecting for a remake or even a remaster of it in the RDR2 engine.

Still, if you've never played the game before and have any interest this is a must play.

I'll start with a (slightly) controversial pick in the PlayStation community.

MediEvil Resurrection.

When I was a kid, I was surprised with a PSP for my birthday. I had wanted one to play the new ratchet and clank that was announced at the time. Little did I know that the game my parents bundled in for me would go on to be one of my favorites on the system. I had never heard of the series before so I didnt have any complaints about Resurrection like old time fans did.

After playing and loving the Original's Remaster on PS4 im excited to see if Resurrection holds up now that its playable on PS4/5.

Coming to PS+ Extra and Premium at launch too!

I've had a fossil watch for the past 5 years or so and love it. Its a hybrid model so it runs off of a watch batter that needs to be replaced ever 9-12 months so I dont ever need to worry about charging it.

It also looks like a standard watch so nobody ever suspects it has some smart functionality. Its very barebones in that aspect but I can see whos calling/texting me, set vibration alarms, and control my music.

Thats a great idea! That'll give me time to dust off Dreams and re-familiarize myself with some of the creations.

I also enjoy that its swappable so if you want the Spider-Man look you can go all out and if you want to go back to the default white it only takes a few minutes of moving plastic. Wish they took advantage of this more and had plates for most first party releases.

No problem! I've used it to save a bunch of creations over the years but I still need to get around to playing them

You should give it a chance if you have any time during this amazing year of releases lol.

Its on PS+ Extra and holds up really well. I believe they kept all of the original voice acting so its mainly a gameplay and graphics update.

The original blocky PS1 version is also playable in the remaster if you complete all 19 Souls Challenges.

I like that for this one they're also offering just the faceplates. Im sure its going to be overpriced for plastic but its nice that you don't need to buy a new console to get the look.

Im in a weird funk right now and its spread into my gaming.

I completed the main story of Control but am taking a quick break before doing the dlc.

Saw Far Cry 5 is being removed from ps+ extra so i've jumped into that for some mindless action. Mostly skipping all the side dialogue but the main story is pretty interesting. Not too many games deal with religion so im always interested in how each one handles it.

At the moment i'm on track to get an easy plat, at least as long as I can find a coop partner for a few trophies.

For anybody wanting to get an early start check out the Dreams website to add creations to your play later list.

Know of any good ones? I have one but it kept crashing and when it didnt it had a 4 second delay.

Hoping this comes with Crossplay

Great minds! Lol.

And I couldn't agree more. I've been in a weird mood to play a train game but couldn't find anything that grabbed me. This looks like it just might do the trick. Im excited to have a reason to get back into Dreams!

It also shows the potential Dreams had/has not just with the creation but also distribution. If they put a new game like this (media molecule seal of approval) on Dreams even just once a month I could see it keeping a dedicated group of players around.

I would have been cool to see a world where we have a monthly lineup for PS+ Essentials, PS+ Extra/Premium, and Dreams Curated.

$10 on PSN

Includes original expansions and a new one

Quake 64 included

Crossplay

I dont think anything has been announced yet. The first one had ps3/4/vita crossplay so since ps5/pc crossplay is much more of a standard right now I would guess that it will be

I've played a little bit of this off of Gamepass at a buddies house and it feels like asking $60 for it is too steep.

The gameplay is repetitive but fun. The maps are ok but there are too few. Teleporting dinosaurs that come out of storms is as over the top wacky as it sounds and it works.

With only have 1 mode (with a pvp or a pve finale option) it feels like it should have been launched later with more modes or for a cheaper price if they hope for this game to have legs.

Still I enjoyed my time with it and if it ever drops to $30 or joins ps+ I might pick it up again.

Incase you weren't aware any Free To Play game on PSN (Fortnite, Warzone, Rocket League, Apex, etc.) can be played online without needing ps+

This price increase is insane but at least in your case you can continue playing Fortnite

Excellent choice!

I've enjoyed the whole series up to this point but the original is my favorite. Such a unique setting with a creepy atmosphere and fun gameplay. Cant wait to see what Ken and his team have for us next!
