That's what's holding me back from getting one. I've read a lot about people getting motion sickness. I got motion sick just trying a simple rollercoaster app for Google Carboard goggles, so I don't think it's for me, to be honest. Looks mighty cool though! How's the motion sickness now, a few weeks into it?

I finished 'The Last Guardian' on PS4 a few weeks back. Good game overall (worthy follow up to ICO and Shadow), but some game mechanics and the camera at times were horrible. And it tries little too hard to be epic from time to time. Still pretty epic, though.

You have to play it in stages but I have to admit every time I put the Vr headset on my head goes a bit funny. I don't think you could play 2 or 3 hours straight like a GTA 5 game. Plus there aren't that many (or any) decent games out at the moment. As said before hopefully the technology used now isn't the best and it will get better with games in the future.

Are VR goggles any good for watching films on? Anyone tried?

I've just bought an Nvidia Shield K1 Tablet to replace my Nexus 7. For some reason the N7 stopped letting me drag and drop the TV shows I wanted to watch over, among a few other niggles like not running telltale games properly.

So the Shield k1 is aimed at gamers and I'm quite surprised by how many quality games theire seem to be on Android, so I wanted to ask if anyone has got any suggestions when I get round to playing.

So far on my list I have:

The Walking Dead
Game Of Thrones
Grim Fandango
Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy)

I plan on getting a controller at some stage as well.

Anyone purchased a nintendo switch?

 

[Mulletperm]

Any PC gamers out there?

Playerunknown: Battlegrounds is a cracking game. In Alpha at the moment so a bit rough, but very good.

Anyone know any good links to old Champ Man games 01/02 etc

 

[r-u-s-x]

I had it a while ago - cant remember where but this site seems legit http://www.fmscout.com/a-championship-manager-0102-free-download.html
or Champsman0102.co.uk

 

[Grays_1890]

I did those but they seem to not download....o well

 

[r-u-s-x]

try the below - this is the instruction I followed a few years back - not sure if still live.

Go to www.gamecopyworld.com and search for 'Championship Manager 2001'. You will see something called No/CD .exe (or something similar). Download it. It's a .rar file. Extract the 2 .exe (1 called Championship Manager 01.exe and the other called Championship Manager 01 GDI.exe or something similar) to the folder you installed the game too, normally C:/program_files/Championship Manager 2001/

Speaking of video games, might be overdue a clearout. This is just the first batch from storage when emptying it out... still got a load more PS2, PS3, PS4, Wii, Wii-U, Xbox (original), Xbox 360, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Commodore 64, Megadrive, Master System, Amstrad and Amiga games etc still there. Think I have "issues".

(Not sure if this will work, but trying to hide the rest of the photos in a Spoiler because it's probably a bit less annoying...)

The link provided by rusx is working for me, I can up it somewhere else if you like?
I have FM2007 and the last couple of league updates too - but then that is kinda cheating cos it starts in 2006 so you can get all the class players for peanuts lol

Have a little bit of time on my hands. I don't think it has the pull on me it once did - maybe 10 years ago...

You can always download emulators and play them on your computer.

I'm not gaming much these days, but just read that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be coming out this fall. Will be excellent, I reckon!

Are you sure you don't have room for a games room? Even if you don't use the majority of that stuff you'll probably miss it when it's gone!

 

[thingonaspring]

Definitely not at the moment... but have managed to find some secure, dry, clean, FREE storage space for the time being so no need for the clearout just yet! I will regret it for sure...

Gaming has been on the slower side for me these days

- Occasional Mortal XL on mobile (but probably close to stopping playing)

Thinking about

- Injustice 2
- Revisiting Diablo 3 once the Necromancer add in is released (should stay away)
- Last Civilization game (new PC can actually play it)

Been playing around with a few of the VR/AR things, nothing in public release sold me yet.

RDR2 when it comes out is what I'm expecting me to get back into gaming. only console i have set up at the moment is the ps4, and my son plays it, not me.
