Gonna give GT Sport a shot. Now do I get the day one edition for £24.99 or the standard edition for £14.99??

Is the $250,000 starting credit / Livery Sticker Packs / Chrome Racing Helmet / Set of PS4 Avatars worth the extra tenner?

The Gran Turismo for PSP had one big advantage over the GT Sport, you had to earn credits to buy the cars. It was literally a game for car collectors. I had it and earning credits in races, challenges was good fun, plus it felt surreal to play ''GT4'' on PSP.

WRC and MotoGP were also great on PSP.

+PS1 emulation = GT2 on go!

Sod it, bought the Day one edition. The 14.99 one was outside the UK and I thought it a bit scammy...
The next few new copies were all 19.99 so I was happy to pay another fiver for the Day one edition.
I've put some SERIOUS hours in on Gran Turismo and its sequels over the years. I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance - 9.5/10 (PC, v1.2)

The ''Dungeons and no dragons'' game,...

Well, it's a very good game, with very entertaining gameplay, great storytelling and one of the best looking environments I've ever seen in a open world video game. Although it takes place in 1403, the forests and castles around seem so familiar to me. School trips, when I was a small lad?

It's pointless to talk about the story here, so I'm gonna jump into what I like and what didn't go that well.

The combat system is very refreshing and actually nice to use (xbox 360 controller). It really takes some skill to fight properly and combined with the save system in the game (go to sleep or drink the schnaps; autosave is rare) and the way you equip armor and clothing you really fear for your life. The other means of fighting being a bow with no crosshair, influenced by stamina and the quality/type of the arrow and bow, or your fists.
I got very good with the bow, so I mostly kill people by a arrow into head off the back of my faithful steed. But, there are various ways of how to complete quests. They even say you may finish the whole game without killing anyone. So far it seems impossible as I already ''had to'' slaughter many people.

The saving system, I like it regardless of what people say. It's definitely no Skyrim, where you can do anything if you use the quicksave and quickload aplenty enough.

The odd at first stuff: eating, sleeping, pickpocketing, picklocking. Now, the first two felt like a stupid concept at first, but then I got past the prologue and got used to it. Although both take some time from the gameplay, eating can be solved by just eating whatever the NPCs are cooking in the pots (for free, takes about 3 seconds or hunt and cook yourself). Sleeping isn't really that of an issue as you manage a lot between the sleeping. But bare in mind the NPCs sleep too, so the shops are closed at night but the bandits (enemies) sleep as well. Good for robberies and surprise attacks, or even completely avoiding conflicts.
Pickpocketing and picklocking are actually done very well and are as refreshing as the combat system is. Both take a lot of skill at first, but it's just a matter of time before you get good at it, although you don't really have to use it, if you decide to be a good member of society (Thou shalt not steal). All the criminal activities are punishable by the law (fine, jail). Learning how to pick a lock was very frustrating, as you need picklocks and they are not that ubiquitous.

Alchemy, well I never tried it and won't. In none of all the RPGs I've ever played, I bothered with crafting and alchemy. But, you may pick flowers and herbs of all sorts and make potions and lotions.

When doing Quests, listen to what the NPCs say, as many times there are no points on the map for you to just follow. Also, many quests are time sensitive.

The Czech/Bohemian stuff; there are many references to real events and figures, but nothing that would make the game less enjoyable for people who have no clue. The story on its own + the side quests are very well written and for those who want to learn something a bit about the history of the place, you may as well ask the NPCs and/or read the codex.

The last bit, unlike its competitors, the Kingdom Come is not repetitive (yet?). In many RPGs you keep doing the same thing over and over again, most of the quests being just a filler of the time before the main quest moves on, not in the Kingdom Come. There is also a fair bit of realism in the game, so for instance you cannot read unless you learn how to but you don't have to learn it at all. Whether you're capable of reading will influence the gameplay.

TL; DR: Worth the time and money (PC), very refreshing RPG. The 27th this month there will be DRM free version on GOG. Also available on the consoles.

Bugs? I haven't met one, but the PC version is already fully patched, unlike the consoles which will have the patch ready in a few days, if not already. Well, some report that on Nvidia cards the game randomly freezes for a brief moment (crash and restart of the GPU driver) every now and then, not on my Nvidia card through.

EDIT: I recommend playing this of an SSD = no loading times, whatsoever.

I'm playing Skyrim through for the umpteenth time, but this time with a load of mods. Used "live another life" and haven't gone to Helgen, so no dragons triggered yet, but can get in and out of Whiterun

got enchanting up to 99% and smithing to 100%, will soon trigger dragons, make some super overpowered dragon armour, then prestige the two skills

Just bought Silent Hill Homecoming for the pc.

So far it seems very much like the atmosphere of the original PS/1 game I've got.
