Doom eternal

Strange you should mention that @jamiephillips909 , I downloaded it the other day, I played the original Doom back in the late 70's/early 80s

It really is a superb game I played the original doom and its a great modern take on it plus the soundtrack from mick gorden really amps it up having doom64 remake on steam as a pre order bonus was a nice touch currently playing the dlc for doom eternal its pritty good so far would recommend

Couldn’t agree more. Spent about two grand on my system, when it arrived the first thing I played was... FTL. A game that could run on a potato 👍

Duke Nukem, great game but an also a great example of failed marketing and mismanagement of game IP etc.

And a go to title if you want to explain the term ‘development hell’ to anyone 😆

Also how a title can come with its own built in Irony.

Very nice, would I benefit in any way using that with my laptop or would I still be limited to 1080? Seems a good price and quality and might consider setting up a more permanent position for my laptop after Christmas...

Getting used to it gradually, need to get a bit more game time in on it

Just an update for anyone interested:

1. Gave up on Alien for now due to that glitch
2. Played most of Halo 2 but can't kill that brute tartrus, so giving it a break
3. Playing Halo3 at the moment and its going quite well

Loving the G5
