I hate the way the game industry has gone. Maybe I will buy this game in a future sale but I refuse to support this business model. Urbisoft have lost another sale from me!
I don't want or need my switch to be online so I don't pay for it.
I would however like to play the old SNES Mario games though and would be happy to buy them as a digital download. But Nintendo doesn't allow that option so they've lost out on some money from me.
@DoomTurtle Early game buys these days just mean that you will be the final stage beta tester. If you wait to wait 6 months to a year you get the fixed game as was ment to be played plus it's often cheaper and has extra content added.
I enjoyed playing this on the PC. It's a good game and would be perfect for the Switch. I wouldn't spend more than £10 or £15 on it though.
For better or worse it's a very old school adventure game. So if you liked the first two Broken Sword games you'll like this because it's very similar but with much better graphics. 8/10
Really good interactive movie (it's not really a game). I won't be buying it again because I've already played it on PC but I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who hasn't played the series before.
Starcraft is designed from the start to be used with a mouse and just wouldn't work with a gamepad. Overwatch could and should be ported to the Switch though.

Re: Review: Saboteur! - A Well-Intentioned Nostalgia Trip That Fails To Get Pulses Racing
I enjoyed this as a kid back in the 80's but have no desire to play it again. Watching old games on YouTube is enough nostalgia for me.
The only one I've ever played again and been worth it was Lemmings. Now that was a great game that still holds up well today.

Really good interactive movie (it's not really a game). I won't be buying it again because I've already played it on PC but I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who hasn't played the series before.
Re: Planet Alpha - A Truly Mesmerising Puzzle-Platformer That You Should Download Now
Physical version please.
Re: Zen Studios Acquires Bally And Williams Pinball Licence, Tables Headed To Pinball FX3
It'll be nice to see those classic tables remade to Zen Pinball standards. I'm specially looking forward to Medieval Madness.
Hopefully they won't add anything new to the tables and keep the 'classic' gameplay.

I hope I'm wrong because it looks really good otherwise.
Re: Is 'Switch Tax' A Real Concern, Or Just A Myth?

Re: Random: How Much Would It Cost To Buy A House In Breath Of The Wild In Real Life?
Location location location!
Although it's situated in a nice street the local neighbourhood has a problem with gangs of mosnters. That must have an impact on the resale value.
Re: Blizzard's StarCraft Series Unlikely To Be Released On Nintendo Switch
Starcraft is designed from the start to be used with a mouse and just wouldn't work with a gamepad. Overwatch could and should be ported to the Switch though.

Re: Random: High School Student Sends EarthBound Cartridge Into Space
A helium balloon going up to the edge of the atmosphere isn't enough to esape Earths gravity. Therefore it is technically still 'Earth bound'.
