Yes, my kids got this not long after it was released as they showed a strong interest in it and they were having to isolate due to having COVID symptoms around the time that they were eager to get the game and I remember getting it for them so they had something to do whilst they were off school and stuck inside. They played it so much in the beginning but it soon died off and even though they still jump back on it from time to time, they definitely didn't play it as much as they did WWE Allstars when that was released.

I always remember this one very well and it was because my brothers used to get annoyed with me for taking over their Playstation that they got for Christmas when they were out with friends and they would come home and find me on it and get annoyed with me lol. The very first Playstation game I played was Crash Bandicoot, used to love that game and became somewhat addicted to it lol

The last game I played was Fortnite last night on Xbox. It's the first time I had played for a few hours throughout the whole of Christmas and I was super close to getting my first win of this new chapter and season and close to getting my first crown win with it too but I messed up at the end and came second. It will come eventually I know it will but seems I'm gonna have to just keep trying.

I would definitely have to say Rumbleverse was one. I remember this being released a few months ago and even though there were a few streamers that played it, it was never a game that really took off to be honest even though it was quite a good game. Multiversus was also another game that seemed to start off okay with a lot of people playing it and then it seemed to die out and I never really see many people playing it now.

This is very true. In some cases it can earn you something especially if you are streaming but it's never enough to live off or call a job. I myself streamed for around 5 years and as much as I did make money from it, it wasn't enough to live off. I am hoping to still be able to stream myself from time to time whilst working but it probably won't be as much as I used to.

I feel one of the really stupid choices I have noticed in video games especially the ones where you have multi-choice is where you get say two options and both end up in you saying something to annoy the person you are talking to and you have no other option to avoid that. I understand it's probably all part of the story but sometimes, you just want to be able to have more than just the annoy the person option.

I do believe there are some places still doing sales as I have seen a few myself when I was looking and out and about yesterday when my kids were spending their Christmas money. I myself found out that the Xbox Series S had dropped by £50 in the sales and it's now £199.99 for us in the UK but due to the cost of living and rising prices it's something I unfortunately can not pick up at the moment even though I would love to upgrade.

Yes I did hear it was a spoof of the old 1984 Apple Commericial and I think that was why it was so funny for so many because it was like an "We don't care" from Epic Games in their protest against their game being removed without them being informed. LOL

I feel if sports games were to pull real life stories and ideas they would probably do better than they do now. At the moment we have pretty much the same thing releasing every year without fail with not much of a change and if pulling better stories and ideas in meant that there were more changes it would probably entice more people to come forward and buy the game.

I feel this! I am the same, if I am doing something else whilst trying to watch TV I always end up missing things and losing interest in what I am watching. With a video game you are doing things within the game and controlling the game and that keeps you interested and less distracted. I always see TV as a sit and just watch but with games you are involved in so many ways that keep you interested and your mind going.

I totally agree! I always say that gaming is boring without others and if you can meet a group of amazing, like minded people who enjoy the same games you enjoy, love the same banter you do and such, that is the best community to be around.

I heard that myself too and my kids were pretty excited that there may have been another game but then nothing ever came of it and still we've heard nothing. It would be awesome to see a sequel to WWE Allstars as even though it was an under rated game it was still a really good game and one that was really fun to play.

I remember this one, it was back in 2020 and it was when Apple removed Fortnite from the Apple Store and there was a big thing about it. Epic Games being themselves did a huge thing called #FreeFortnite and I always remember the commercial/trailer being absolutely amazing and they even gave away a free skin in game. Here is the commercial/trailer for it #FreeFortnite Commercial

The last game I played was UNO yesterday. My youngest son got UNO cards for Christmas and as much as he understands the game, there are some things he is unsure of. Due to me having bought the game when it was on offer a while back, I have access to it and felt that him playing the game on a console would help him to learn and understand certain things regarding the game so that when he plays with his UNO cards he is less confused when we tell him something.

I remember when I had a PS3 we ran into this issue and I found it was because the PS3 console was off balance and it made the console make a weird noise when a disc was in the console. We managed to get the console sat so that it was straight and not off balance and the issue stopped so that could be something to look at.

I missed quite a few if I am honest due to my parents not being able to afford to get us every new console. Unfortunately I missed out on the NES and the PS2 when they were released. I guess the one I was most upset about missing was the NES and I would love to be able to get hold of one just to be able to play it because I was never able to. Another one I missed out on was DreamCast but I was able to play that a few times because a friend had it, me and my brothers just never owned on ourselves.

I know there were games that I played prior to getting the Sega Master System but I can not for the life of me remember the games I played on the Atari. The very first game that I remember playing that I know the name of was Alex The Kidd on the Sega Master system that was built into the console.

I remember my very first Nintendo console being the Gameboy if I remember rightly. It was not long after that we got a Super Nintendo for me and my brothers to share one Christmas and then we used to use the Gameboy for on the go and travelling and the Super Nintendo for at home and family game nights. We never actually ever got the NES and Super Nintendo was out first one. I often hate the fact that I missed out on the NES but my parents weren't exactly rich and they did what they could for us. My favourite game on the Super Nintendo was always Yoshi's Island.

I remember the first time I played Fable, it took me a little while to get used to the game and how it was played and I always remember my first time playing it I found out you could kick chickens in the game and I was chatting to a friend through and Xbox party at the time and I remember once I worked out you could kick the chickens we were in fits of laughter about it. It was something so new and so unique that we hadn't seen before that realizing it was possible was just hilarious. Do you remember kicking chickens in Fable? What was your reaction when you found out you could?

Valorant has become quite popular since it was released on PC but it only seems to be on PC right now and there has been no word of whether it will ever come to consoles or even mobile any time soon. I have seen many people say that Valorant would be a great game to see come to mobile and that if it did, they would definitely download it and jump on and give it a try, it would also give Valorant players a chance to play on the go as well. Is Valorant a game you could see or would want to see come to mobile?

WWE Allstars was a game that was somewhat different to the normal WWE games that are usually released with more of a cartoon look for the wrestling stars and moves as well it was quite a fun game to play and made a change to the usual game play we get in WWE 2K games and even games before that such as Raw vs Smackdown. I remember my kids getting WWE Allstars for Christmas and they absolutely loved it because it was different to what they normally played so it was like a whole new wrestling game for them. Did you ever play WWE Allstars? What were your thoughts on it?

WWE is another game that tends to release a new game every year even if there are not many updates to the game. In most cases it would probably be better for them to release an update for a game they already have out but instead they choose to release a whole new game and charge new release prices. I know between 2020 and 2021 they had a break due to the pandemic and chose to instead release a different kind of wrestling games which was called WWE Battlegrounds. They then went back to releasing WWE 2K22 which this time, had more of an update than previous games. Do you buy every WWE game even though there may not be any big huge updates?

Everyone's day is different and depending on what you do day to day depends on how much time you spend playing video games on average per day. Some people find themselves playing 8 - 12 hours per day whereas some people can only manage say 2 - 4 hours per day depending on their schedule. I myself with working and also looking after my kids tend to on average spend around 2 - 4 hours gaming each day and sometimes that is less. All in all, each week it can be anything from 14 - 28 hours per week that I spend gaming if I am able to. On average, how many hours do you spend playing video games per day?

Many people will often question that gaming is pointless and it's a waste of time but these same people that say that will usually be the ones that will sit and watch TV shows or even movies on the daily. This got me thinking, I myself would rather sit and play video games than watch TV and there are very few TV shows or movies that I will watch because I much prefer gaming over watching TV. I feel when gaming you are always doing something, using your brain, working things out and that for me is a better option than just sitting in front of a TV like a potato just watching shows and movies. What makes you prefer gaming over say watching TV?

Anyone who plays Fortnite will know that we have had our fair share of gaming legends come to the game as skins. We have had Master Chief, Lara Croft, God Of War Ragnarok and even characters from Destiny 2 come to Fortnite as gaming legends. There is still so many other gaming legends that have not come to Fortnite though that would be quite cool to see in Fortnite. If you could see any gaming legend as a skin in Fortnite, who would it be?
