So this weekend has been about spending time with family. It is the 3rd anniversary of the passing of my sister, something I am still coming to terms with. I had a great time with my nephews & nieces, and spent some quality time with my mum. I even managed to get some Christmas presents ordered!
The car needed a service, so that was something that was done today, on my day off - very boring. It has been a rather busy week on all fronts.
In terms of gaming, There are a load of SHMUPs coming out soon I am looking forward to reviewing for shoot You Sir, especially as we are moving towards the Christmas time releases. We are trying to line up some podcast guests, let’s see if they are interested!
As a lot of people that follow me are aware, I’m a massive Gundam Fan, but have been rather disappointed in recent Gundam based game releases in recent years. Randomly Gundam Battle Operation Code Fairy has been a lot of fun. As the name suggests, it is GBO gameplay, but with a more offline story focus. I skip a lot of the talking, but the actual mission prep and missions - along with the gameplay- is a lot of fun. It is based in C.E.0079 and you are basically playing as a team of Zaku pilots performing guerrilla warfare against the federation - go zion? erm… It’s always fun playing as a Zaku.
On top of this the KOTOR remake is due out on Switch on the 11th, which was a great game back on the Xbox, and I briefly played it when living in Australia on a Kindle HD of all things.
Looking forward to coming month & Christmas!
