Having just gone through it again for the first time in ages, the SP campaign for Call of Duty World at War still holds up massively. A very visceral representation of WWII.

The music slaps too as well.

To quote another famous spy:

James Bond is such a lethal secret agent that he literally makes his enemies explode!

I love it when Kiryu gets to be savage. The peacock line in Kiwami 2 also comes to mind.

I adore that Quick Look so much. I miss when wrestling games had really goofy stuff like this.

The good news? Free drinks! The bad news? Severe brain damage.

Alan Wake still looks gorgeous. Even on the Steam Deck!

Decided to give the Liberty Extended mod for GTA III a go.

It's pretty awesome. Adds in a whole load of Quality of Life features including a first-person camera and a Photo Mode!

This is why I love mods and modders. They do amazing stuff.

Just did another run of Yakuza Kiwami. This time on Steam Deck! It definitely earns its verified status. A joy to play in portable form!

Getting a hold of a PS2 again was one of my smartest purchases. I'm having a blast! Such an amazing console with a vast library of games.

Playing through Max Payne on PS2 is quite the experience. The game still rocks and I'm having a blast, but man, the framerate really chugs at times. I'm talking single digits at certain moments.

Brings more slow mo to the slow mo.
(Bad joke. I apologise profusely.)

It's all a big legal kerfuffle. Nobody knows who actually has the rights to it so it can't be re-released in any form. Nightdive have been trying for ages to remaster the entire series. It's a real shame.

Yup. No One Lives Forever got a PS2 port and I'm now in possession of it. I love checking out ports like this.

(Also yeah, I got a PS2 over the Christmas. Still an awesome console.)
