Your Amazon Prime membership now includes a free Nintendo Online subscription as well as a Twitch Prime subscription...
...if you're into that.
- Nintendo "Switch" Online?
If so, sweeeeet!monospaced - ^yes. and also Twitch, which is a video game streaming service.sarahfailin
- come on. damn that's sweet. hopefully in canada._niko
- .. and Amazon Photos storing and Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Music streamingBennn
- Sweet thanks! Now what can I do? Tetris99?err
- It doesn't "include", it gives you 3 months and 9 additional somehow. After that you pay, at least that's what I read.ArmandoEstrada
- So its basically a one year trial.ArmandoEstrada
- search for retro pie if you love the good old nes or sega games. i build one with original controler, it was easy and worth the time. https://retropie.org…api
- just cancelled primeutopian
- if you order a few times a year on Amazon, Prime is paid by itself by saving on shipping cost, its kinda cheapBennn
- switch online is disappointing. smash bros is laggy af. and where is Nintendos back catalogue?inteliboy

I upgraded from an Xbox 360 to a Series S so that I could buy my son the Forza Horizon 5 game, plus the Hot Wheels tracks add-on, for his birthday.
Damn... it's such an amazing step up. I've got it on a 4k Samsung TV. Hadn't played games in a while, my brain doesn't work for games like COD anymore, but Forza is a blast. My kids are learning how to play Minecraft, but the real standout for me and my daughter (she's 8) are these two games:
and
I was a huge fan of Limbo and Inside is such a great sequel to it. Love playing games like this at night in the dark.
Anyone have any other suggestions for games like these?
- sup numbersguysted
- that Hot Wheels area oh man i wasted hours in there just collecting stuff and having funsted
- It’s fun! Forza is a little tricky for my son - he’s 6... small hands for the controller. He just loves ripping around and doing donuts.mg33
- Trek to Yomi is a beautiful side scroller.moogchild
- Kentucky Route Zero, Little Nightmares, Stray, Oxenfreeduckseason
- Gris, Unravel, It Takes Two - Not all 1:1, but mix of puzzle/platforming/s...duckseason
- other 'dark' adventure platformers: Little Nightmares, White Shadows, Islets, Far Changing Tides, perhaps RainworldNutter
- If Forza is too hard for your kid there is Hot Wheels Unleased, Sonic & All Star Racing Transformed or Lego 2K DriveNutter
- INSIDE fucking rules. Little Nightmares II is a good one as well.crazyprick
- +1 for Trek to Yomi!kaiyohtee
- Little Nightmares looks great!mg33
- I loved Little Nightmares, Inside & Limbo so was pleased about Planet of Lana, and it's great so farGardener
- Lead gameplay designer on inside Jeppe Carlsen will release new game soon. https://m.youtube.co…islandbridge
- I really enjoyed "the final station" side scroller puzzle thing. Really well made and intriguing.robthelad

- thankssted
- Not sure how playable this is ,reality is not fundrgs
- Not sure why this is causing so much controversy. Isn't the end goal of most games and shooters to become photo real?NBQ00

- I thought that Gif of the day yesterday was a joke, was it from this?... it looks hard!!dee-dubs
- It's a tame version of Boshy.face_melter
- ^ God damn it, I had successfully wiped that game out of my memory, and now I have PTSD again.garbage
- Looks infuriating.monospaced
- lol mono, it doesset
- reminds me of meat boy, just different graphicsmonospaced
- lol garbage. Embrace the pain!face_melter
- it's not too hard unless you try to collect the strawberries, which are useless anyway.Milan
- it also has options to adjust the difficulty, make it slow down time, infinite lives, bigger jumps, that sort of thing you can turn onNutter
- Yup, looks like a play off of Meat Boy or N+. Looks neat though.desmo
- just finished it - great gamedigitdaily
- My fav game currently. Yes it's a bit hard playing on the keyboard. Need to get a controller soon.M01XXX

- nice! i was about to post it too.OP31
- it's almost unbeliveable to me how far graphics have come. Not just the graphics per se — the fucking scale of them!detritus
- 1 was great, looking forward to this onemoldero
- Read dead on the 360 was the most atmospheric, engrossing game I've ever played. I'll buy a new console just for this..set
- I really, reeaally need to find a way to retire before this game comes out. so much anticipation.SteveJobs

- The ending of RDR was great.Milan

- My bro is trying to get me to get this, have some cross-country nostalgia gaming. Anyone played it?garbage
- how do you see what is going on and play the game when there's so many explosion animations going on? or is one of those shit games where you watch battles?shapesalad
- It’s a trailer @shapesalad.
Looks and plays like a refined version of the game you know and love @garbage.
: )ideaist - Excellent, I'll give it a go. Thanks!garbage
- Super solid game, and fun to play with friends. Story mode is a bit on the easy side when compared to the original, though.duckseason
- I have a copy on PS5, it's pretty badass. Reminds me of the old arcade version with so many nice surprises.jmckinno
- deffo like the orignal arcade—therefore much better than the murder that was the NES game. surprisingly fun game <kaiyohtee
- Ok, they totally nailed the feel of the original and then some. Lots of hilarious detail on virtually every scroll. Pure chaos.garbage
- Damn thanks for sharing! Free on XBL Game Pass, downloading now. I loved the TMNT arcade game as a kid.ETM

PS4 9.00 update got jailbroken a few weeks ago. It’s pretty nice not having to buy games anymore.
Here’s a guide if you wanna get started

- Just be real careful not to accidentally update to 9.03. And make sure your Flash drives are formatted exfat or fat32scarabin

So, yesterday, in a fit of boredom and in a desperate struggle with the league against tedium and Photoshopping average architecture into the Stockholm cityscape, I bought Horizon Zero Crusty. Because if I click a few buttons on a site and remotely download shit to my PS4, it doesn't count. Right?
First thing. The game looks great, not like Taylor Swift's legs great, but solid and polished - we're talking Katy Perry legs. Not the doughy, lumpy legs she has today, legs from a couple of years ago. Dependable legs. Guerrilla always do good visuals, no matter what else. They are the Katy Perry legs of videogames.
Anyway. Second thing. The introduction is the one of the most contrived and unnecessary piece of hand-holding videogame schlock of recent times. Made me instantly dislike the whole wretched scene - Noble Tribespeople who talk eloquently about The Past, The Outcast, The Mysterious Child who everyone thinks is some kind of fucking demon. Wait. This has to be said before I forget and fuck all this up - character design. Every rat-bastard in this looks like they are either in a Spiral Tribe travelling rave collective, play bass in Mega City Four, or that one guy at art college who introduced me to weapons-grade tequila and Charles Bukowski. Fucking facial hair and dreadlocks for days. Horizon Crusty Dawn, geddit? GEDDIT!? Christ, you fucking people. Right. Intro. Focus. Maintain. You start as the kid as... a kid and learn your hunting chops from your adopted dad blah blah blah. What takes 30 minutes could have been laid out in a 60 second cutscene and a refined tutorial. But oooh no. Exposition explosion!
Onward. It appears The World is fucked by mechanical animals - even at this early point in the proceedings my desire to uncover who or what their deal is is desperately low. But. BUT. The encounters are well handled and there is lots to do - even before I reluctantly push on with the story I have had four or five side missions. Ok, they all ended up with me wrecking robot animal ass and collecting something/someone - including some woman's brother who on investigation has extreme schizophrenia leading to homicidal and suicidal tendencies (which, according to the story can be cured with talking and living in a cave). Videogames! There's a bunch of crafting shit in there also - collect shit to make shit. After a couple of hours I had a bag full of rubbish and plants. Some of it looks important? Who knows. Robot Animal Jesus will bring sense to it all. Or maybe i'm some kind of mental hobo with a robot kink.
Oh. Fuck, hold on. The combat is really good! A nice quickness to the controls and enough leniency to allow you decent shots even if you're not dead-on accurate. Pounding robot animal ass with homemade shafts is invigorating and satisfying. Who knew?
So far, so okay in a weird Tomb Raider / Far Cry / Zelda / GTA-type way. I mean, you walk around, collect and kill shit. It's not art and neither is it rocket animal science. Nier: Automata continues to give me incredible thrills and kicks so whether I ride this crazy techno-Levellers simulator all the way to the end, I don't know.
But hey, life can't all be Taylor Swift's legs.

- quite the change from doing killzone for a decade right? I'm really enjoying the game, looks incredible too.ernexbcn
- I think my references to anarco-hippy techno sound systems and power-pop indie guitar bands wouldn't fit with IGN's key demographic.face_melter
- But I enjoy writing these at 6am after four hours sleep.face_melter
- ^^ I find their visual style quite sterile. Technically impressive, no doubt, but it lacks personality. Faces look like Boglins.face_melter
- Brilliant. This has made me go and buy it a day earlier than I originally planned.MrT
- Boglin faced post-apocalyptic ravers with lightning spears and dennis-the-menace slings.ArchitectofFate
- Think I'll write another screed for Nier: Automata. I swear to God - that game is pure, fucking, art.face_melter

new Metroid is coming out this week for Switch~~ initial reviews look promising!
- I scheduled that day off for it!scarabin
- People are making custom levels in this gamedrgs
- Amazon accidentally shipped physical copies out earlier this week, lol. Should have gone that route.garbage
- Fun game so far! I remember playing Metroid 2 on the Gameboy 30 years ago.Milan
- People are saying it's better than Super Metroid, so I'm leaving the house at the buttcrack of dawn to go find it.garbage
- dasmeteor1
- Ah, cool. This is out in a month or so, isn't it? I'm going to play the absolute fucking shit out of it - for the next 40 years.face_melter
- same here, counting down the days...Bluejam
- going to be very hard for this game to live up to expectation. i hope it does!digitdaily
- I have been following this pretty much since its original announcement, still can't really believe it is going to be actually released.face_melter
- More like No WO-Man's Sky.
; )
Good hustle boys!ideaist - I don't want to be a debbie-downer but I doubt this game will live up to the hypeernexbcn
- Likewise, ernex - I have a terrible feeling it's going to be fairly monotonous and dull after a few sessions.
Christ I hope I'm wrong.detritus - unfortunately, even the most recent gameplay looks boring as fuck... even walking around is basically boring floatingmonospaced
- still looks good to me. as long as the endgame is compelling.inteliboy
- because everyone wants a game where things blow up and explode every 13 seconds.face_melter
- I don't care, I'm still excited as hell for this.elahon
- @face_ not What I meant actually. Just more polish on the immersive details. Pretty pictures is okay but more gameplay finesse is gonna make this interesting.monospaced

- It's awesome, like those bits in Top Secret with the oversized 'phone and Peter Cushing's massive eye.face_melter
- that looks really interesting... just seen you can get it on Switch.. may have to get itdee-dubs
- excellent, it's been on epic game store for a year now but been waiting for it to come on steamkingsteven
- How to play on Mac?nb
- Never mind I googled itnb
- As a mac user, is it better to use Steam or Epic. I don't game reallynb
- steam is more reliable/ better for multiplayer and epic gets a bad rep because they use exclusive 1 year contracts...kingsteven
- but epic gives away free games every month... best to go for steam when the game is on both platforms but i think most folks will have both installed.kingsteven
- and both kick the ass of the blizzard/ activation store :|kingsteven
- i hate shit like this in games, loljaylarson
