Sid Meier’s Civilization was excellent, even if I was rubbish at it.
I never played the Sims, seemed too much like watered-down Will Wright to me. Why would I want to mess about with individual people in a house when I could play with entire infrastructures in Sim City?
Bloody loved Railroad Tycoon - and that game was probably why I always tried to build railways rather than roads in Sim City too.
And before all those - Populous 2. The god of god games, no?
Age of empires was a thing many moons ago 
Has anybody played Tales of Arise? It’s on my list of purchases but not sure if I want to justify it right now?
Need a break from Soulstorm, too many fs bombs at the minute.
that was a great game also 
Horizon Forbidden West has begun to preload! Only a week left to release. 
really getting into drirt 5 almost tempted to buy it lol
Been playing Horizon Forbidden West since launch but Destiny 2: The Witch Queen launches in the next half hour.
As a 55yr old gamer, I’ve had almost every handheld and most consoles I can think off (loved my gamegear and atari Linx) love my shooters and battlefields and COD series is amazing, so are halo and wolfstein.
It’s great to game!
I’m late to the game but just started Pokémon Legends and… wow. I now want to play all games this way.
Also took the plunge for an OLED Switch. I really am looking forward to games like No Man’s Sky coming later this year and think it’ll look awesome on a bigger screen.
ive discovered ( probably because im a tight wad lol) that since i subscribed to playstation+ and playstation now that some of the ‘free’ games do me , the graphics on the ps5 are some thing else
I’m enjoying Horizon Forbidden West but as always, absolutely useless at remembering to buy weapon and armour upgrades and lose temper because I keep dying 
cyberpunk 2077 is my ps5 game just now it has promise
Elden Ring is huge and amazing. Definitely been worth the multiple year wait for a Souls-borne game. Highest rated game as well which is completely wild.
Anyone else getting stuck in to this torture of a game?
There’s definitely parallels there for sure! I was never a huge Zelda fan but seeing that there were similar crossover mechanics it kinda sold me.
Going to give this a little watch to see how Jim feels about a game which is very arduous 
I’ve been playing games since I was 10 and been through nearly all the Call of Duty franchise through the years, Halo, but right now I keep jumping between Valorant and League of Legends (which I used to hate at one point)
There’s no games that interest me at this point I need something similar to The Division franchise to come out that I greatly enjoyed! 
Meh.
It’s what I was expecting but not what I was hoping for
Some people (the hardcore gamer types) seem pretty impressed with the new options. I guess the higher tiers are better value?
hmmm the article above tells you more than the offical e mail
