Wolfenstein 3D was my most favourite. Best game ever.

Nomad Soul was my favourite. You could go in the bar and watch Bowie on stage.
2:15 into this one:
You freak!
Civ 6 is really good. I played 5 to death and itās a huge improvement.
I used to write computer games, nearly 30 years of that will burn any joy you derive from playing a game from your soul. After 5 years of not making them any longer I have finally been able to stand playing games again. I bought an nvidia shield to use with Kodi (which it does in a very admirable way) but have also started playing a racing game called Asphalt 8 on it. Quite addictive in a fantastical sort of way - apparently nitrous works with a tesla, an audi e-tron and a citroen survolt. Quite fun though.

What games did you work on?
From what Iāve heard about the games industry, itās an absolutely brutal place to work, especially in the run-ups to launches.
Many, many that youāve probably never heard of.
A very incomplete list is hereā¦
The games industry is horrific. Hereās some outtakes from an interview I did with a retro gamer journalist a year or so ago.
Back when i started it was very rock and roll without the money or women (the money was there for some but not us on the pointy end) but in your late teens / early 20ās you can weather the outrageous hours and sporadic pay. Once you want a family, morgage and a bit of stability itās a nightmare as all those ābedroom startupā guys who toiled away in their bedrooms and garages to build a company expect the same from their employees as they are exactly the same macho man children they were 20 years ago.
I understand that steve jobs was difficult to work with, iāll put him up against some of my ex bosses any day.

. Goodbye every spare fucking moment including sleep!
Iāve been playing this since release on the WII U, I havenāt been listening to my hifi/music that much, itās a very engrossing game indeed. Have fun.
Iāve been doing similar with Mass Effect: Andromeda recently. So immersive and such good fun.
I have to say that Nintendo have produced something very interesting and with plenty of promise. Its a docked console that you can pick up and use as a handheld thanks to the innovative joypad design.
Itāll probably die on its arse because you canāt port all the usual PS and Xbox stuff over onto it and software companies wonāt want to spend time on it versus the bigger platforms.
Still, so far this looks to be the best Zelda yet.
Nintendo have only really been about their games, if i do get a Switch later in the year it will be just for the few games they produce alone.
Iām glad they delayed the release of Zelda Breath of the Wild, having been influenced by games like Skyrim with itās open world/physics based nature, a good move on Nintendoās part.
