I have both Biomutant and King of Seas preordered...roll on Tuesday!
@IndoorHero SR3 is fantastic. You're definitely going to love it if you've never played it before. A lot of people consider it the highlight of the whole bloody series, and its not hard to see why - SR4+Gat Outta Hell is also top-notch quality, but it is a different game in terms of mixing up the formula. Still, I freakin' hate people arguing over which one is better or why 4 doomed the series or whatever - just play 3, 4 and Gat Outta Hell all in a row and consider one huge Saints Row saga at some point, 'cuz they're all just a fantastic time.
Don't worry about Agents of MAYHEM though. That thing is so undercooked, tedious and disappointing... its one of those games where the bad totally outweighs the good, ugh. I don't care how cheap it is during sales, that thing is a waste of time sadly.

Anyway, looking forward to Biomutant!
This is also the first I've heard about REKT, and it looks like it might be fun in a cheap Gripshift or Jet Car Stunts-kinda way? I mean it is just $5, but it's got that flippy, spinny "Rush 2049 physics" look to it, so that's promising. I'm hopeful. I could go for that sort of game every once in awhile.
@Vinsanity I personally find 2 to be a bit tedious. Currently playing it and I need to do side missions to progress in the main quests sometimes which I just think is odd. I like everything else about the game though.
And 3 and 4 truly were great games for sure.
@Vinsanity REKT is on the switch. It's a fun little game!
An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs (May 25): "An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs is an open-world comedy game set in a universe of simulated airports run by stock photo dogs."
Um, what?
@WCB hahahaha glad it wasn't just me 😂
@LocalPenguin I'm really intrigued now, I just hope the airports aren't run by any ordinary stock photo dogs, but by doges.
Looking forward to checking out Mech Warrior 5 in the future....and also the Saints Row 3 x/s version
Yep, looking forward to MechWarrior 💜
