To everyone who recommended the Satisfy Switch Grip, thanks. The wife got me one for Christmas and it’s brilliant. Haven’t had chance to have a long session on it but even with limited play time, I’m impressed.

I used to have this and it often led to gaming decision paralysis where I either didn't play anything because the choice was too much to deal with OR I'd have a couple of game on the go and I'd try and split my time between them. All this led to not enjoying games very much and almost never completing anything. These days I only really play 1 game at a time and I try and stick to only owning one physical game at a time, I'll play through something and then sell/trade it and move on to the next. If I'm playing something I'm not enjoying, I get rid and move on. I also delay listening to gaming podcasts by a few weeks, it means I don't get into the Day 1 need of things, makes games cheaper and more reliable (Day 1/ week 1 patching) and lets me still enjoy being part of the conversation while I'm playing through a game.

Noooooo bought Steam World Dig 2 last night at full price. Balls!

I got in straight after that launch live stream.

Sorry to do this Amazoners but mine has arrived from Shopto and I can't even play with it until Christmas Day as it's a present from the wife. I feel awful....

Arrived from Simply Games. What a weekend ahead.

ESSENTIAL

I'm headed to San Francisco in September on Honeymoon and managed to score some tickets for 49ers V Rams at Levi Stadium. I can't bloody wait. Really wish it was the 2011/2012 49ers team but I'll take it.

My wife doesn't quite get it......silly wife!

Same happened to me yesterday when I wen't get Horizon Zero Dawn. I was trading in Forza Horizon 3 and asked for a price match to be told it's ended. CEX price was £21, Game prince was actually £24.

I finished over the easter weekend. I'd had both the Wii and GC versions but didn't complete either. Took about 45 hours in total, god knows how long it would take if you wanted to collect everything.

I'd love a preview invite as well if possible. Gamer tag: Dukesy

I need help. I still can't decide between New 3DS and the New 3DS XL. I've currently got an XL and I like it but I prefer the styling of the New 3DS. Is there anyone on here thats made the switch from XL and can speak on how comfortable it is to use?

I've got the email but I'm a bit out of sorts with the 3DS scene. Is there anything coming out apart from Zelda Majora's Mask in the next 12 months that would make this purchase worthwhile? I haven't touched my 3DSXL in months.

Those Mcelroy brothers always bring the giggles.

The nightly E3 podcasts have been great.

Can you add me to the spares list. I applied within minutes but no code so far.

This is fucking insanity.........I'm kinda loving it.

Oh Gladys.....

Just finished this. It's just fun from start to finish, had about the right amount of challenge for me and nothing in the game outstayed it's welcome. I've got a few DUP to mop up and I'll be done with it, it's not often I'll go back to side stuff after finishing the main storyline.

This is just so much fun. I'm about 20% in and now with a few additional powers there are so many ways to approach taking down DUP areas. The story is decent so far and as others have set the graphics and control are superb.

360 Version it is then, Cheers!

So is there a consensus about which version is best PS3/Xbox ? I've read the digital foundry piece but even they didn't really reach a conclusion.
