I picked up Planetoid Pioneers the "Contributor Edition" the other day. I had been watching this game for sometime in early access, and thought it was a very interesting idea and could be really fun if the community get behind it. They had a special offer around the lunch day which made it half price for the Contributor Edition, so I went for that.
So far I like it, not had time to make anything or even leave the first planetoid, but I don't mind which I guess that's a good sign.
A few screen grabs from my first couple of hours play. So far, so fun...
This is some amazing work here. Pc gamer Hin Nya has built Aliens the ride in Planet Coaster that Cameron himself would be proud of.
More than 70000 objects and 2 month to set up, but I think we would all say it was worth it.
Sit back and enjoy this journey that takes you through some of the locations from the 1986 sci-fi classic Aliens.
Welcome, and thanks for taking time out of your day to read this….
As a married dad of two boys and one dog, I have no time at all spare to game. You see, the thing is, I love my gaming. Since the first time I played Pong on the Atari in the late 70’s to getting mad with Jet Set Willy on our ZX Spectrum 48k (still have that somewhere), then moving onto an Atari ST great games on those 3.5inch discs, loved Hero's, Gauntlet and Speedball by the The Bitmap Brothers. (again, have it boxed up somewhere in the loft). Then moving onto a NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Atari Jaguar, Playstation, Gamecube, Wii, Xbox 360 and at the moment a half decent gaming Pc. That doesn't include several Gameboy versions, Android phones and tablets. Yes I like my games...... but as I say, no time. Anyway thought I would, when I do find those magical spare moments to play games, I would also post something here. It will be either be me just playing, I might do some "lets play" as a running blog post, also news and videos if I can.... I have also made an instagram account for quick screen grab and photo posts if your on there.
I picked up Star Control Origins about two months ago while still in very early access and at a very low price (£17). I believe I played the original all those years ago on a friends pc. At the time it really wasn't for me as a game, but as I have gotten older it's right on point. I just love games you can invest time in, and come back again and again.
So far in this early access, there isn't much to it. They have only released the Star Control: Origins & Fleet Battles Mode, which in a short description is you can build a ship and take on AI or other players online. The fun part for me is making your own ship. They use almost the same system as Galactic Civilizations III ( well it is Stardock ) for this. You select parts from a list and they snap together on anchor points, you can then make them larger or smaller, rotate and flip. You can also change the main and secondary colours of your ship. Then you add first and second weapons, thrusters and engines all to a points system that allows you to play your ship in battles. It's nice and smooth and they have promised more ship parts as the beta goes on.
Check out my first ship "ICE" which isn't doing to bad in the battles I have played. Though at the moment the building side of this is the fun part for me. Looking forward to the rest of the game when it's released.
Here is the game trailer with what is yet to come.
Just picked up Just Cause 3 XL Edition in the Christmas Sale on Green Man Gamingit's on at £7.50 which is great value as it's on humble bundle at the moment for £59.98, but ever better I had a voucher code to get a little more off, total for the game and all it's DLC...... £6.22, bargain :)
I will endeavor to do a gaming play post soon.

Not a big board game fan, never have the time to sit and play anything that takes more than 20mins, but on my phone or tablet, well I'm going to give this one a go. I have a few friends that play this in table mode, so getting it from the play store now...
Seven: The Days Long Gone looks very interesting. A isometric open-world RPG with a focus on stealth and stealing, but when you have to there's a great combat system in place. Use all the tricks you can think of to get out of a bad situation.
Out on the 1st December here.
Creative Assembly have a new DLC for the 2013 game Total War: ROME II called Empire Divided which takes place in 270 AD.
Empire Divided adds cults, banditry and plagues to the world to reflect the collapse of order across territories, and the new buildings are largely geared towards managing public order and keeping down bandit levels (high banditry saps food, leading to unrest). The cult structures are the most interesting of the bunch. These free buildings let you welcome in Christianity, Mithraism and Manichaeism for stat bonuses, but the introduction of new ideas creates civil unrest over time. They are expensive to get rid of too, so it's a 'borrow now, pay later' deal if you decide to throw the cult out of your territory.
Lego Worlds have just added new content to its game - this time we are going back in time to Roman time! I know that's a lot of times!!
free until January 3rd!
My god I haven't even got anywhere with Ark or Scorched Earth expansion for that matter, and they have just announced a new one ARK: Aberration. Out on the 12th December it does sound like it will be adding some new ideas like underground cave biome system, ziplines, wingsuits and climbing gear.
