Weekly Roundup #24

Dirt 4, Cyber Dungeons and Banner Saga 3 is in kickstarter! 

Dirt 4 is coming out on the 6th June 2017! A new trailer was dropped on Thursday showcasing some realistic graphics and a rally mode.

Last week we said we have a announcement coming. Cyber Dungeons is a game developed by us. It's a dungeon crawler with RPG elements. We will reveal more information this summer.

GFMSL #8

I decided to pick some games that I played a long time ago to play again and one of them were Euro Truck Simulator 2. ETS 2 (its short name) is a game developed by SCS, the same people who made American Truck Simulator which came out earlier last year. 

ETS 2 puts you in charge of your own truck company. Start with contracts and work your way up to earning garages all across Europe. It even has small details like working dashboards and indicators. It even has a radio with real stations!

It's best played with a digital steering wheel as the keyboard can be finicky. 

The game is considered to be boring to most gamers but to a large group it's a way of escaping the hassle of life. With overwhelmingly positive reviews on steam it's a must buy for simulation fans and gamers who want peace and quiet.

I'm putting the game in the good section due to the fact it's what it says it is.

Weekly Roundup #22

The first week of the new year is up! We've had some interesting gaming stories this week, here's three of them.


First up a new pricing plan for a service called Liquid Sky, a beta streaming program. users can pay to play games via streaming. This means if your computer isn't good enough to play Overwatch Liquid Sky will let you play it at 60 FPS and 1080p. There's also a free pricing plan where you can earn up to 3 hours of playtime a day by watching ads. More will be revealed in March.

Arkane, the minds behind the Dishonored franchise have discussed with Game Informer about Dishonored 2's rough launch and how Prey will be 'flawless' at launch. 



Lastly an Elite Dangerous player had first contact with a flower like alien called a Thargoid. The clip shows an alien ship defending a player from what seems to be a pirate. 

a Look at Fitbit: the Solution to a Gamers Weight?

Yesterday I picked up the Fitbit Blaze. It costed me £160. the FitBit is designed to help people lose weight via challenges and exercises.

Could this be a great motivation tool for gamers?

First off I would like to say the Fitbit app is free for anyone with a android/ios device. It can do the basics but the tracker can measure your heartbeat and record data more accurately.

Fitbit allows you to create a profile much like steam or xbox live/psn and even has achievements to unlock when you hit your daily goal or win a challenge against your friends. This is a feature that will be familiar to gamers and may be the selling point for some. 

Challenges include, but not limited to marathons, daily goals, weekend and weekday goals. 

The trackers come in different shapes and sizes. The blaze and the surge (the latest ones) resemble a smartwatch and can even be used to see demonstrations of cardio activities. Then you have the charge 2 and the Alta which have smaller screens. You then have the the flex 2 which has no screen at all but instead has 4 lights. Finally there's the one and zip and one which are basic 2007 pedometers. 

You can check them out here.

So the question still remains, is it a solution to the fact gaming is an inactive exercise?

If you have the money, it's a great way to lose weight efficiently.
