cheked my Facebook and caught a status update from my friend.
“Well, with a little trepidation I’ve finally done it” the update read “I’ve bought my own detached house. It has all appliances I could need and a beautiful thatched roof”
Not much older than me. I was shocked that he was enjoying so much success. Quite what (or who) he’d pulled off to suddenly get this kind of money. Bob and I were at college together. I used to take long lunches. After a while, he moved on and we parted ways, eventually randomly meeting a few years later on a train. Working as writers. I was about to post a long message congratulating Bob on his newfound success when I noticed the final two words to his status. Yes, Bob has the perfect place and yes, it has appliances and a thatched roof...On Skyrim. I groaned and joined the legion of talking heads telling him what a nerd.
The point is that its not just Bob who had a good time with his PS4 games last year. Skyrim destroyed the social lives of half of my friends. Great. Once a week Wednesday when I braved the elements to grab my comics for the week, I’d be met with a giant bust of a Barbarian holding aloft an axe, his face contorted by a soundless bloodthirsty howl presumably emanating from under his helmet. Saw him.
Fell victim to this little number, is FIFA12. probably won’t. Might get on the nerves of some F1 fans, but will thrill vacant window shoppers with disposable income who are attracted to the letter ‘F’. The game itself does exactly what it (almost doesn’t) say on the tin, and is a basic upgrade of the previous release. Its not a massive improvement.
Another one that did well towards the end of last year. Maybe the game is dangerous. I hate Dragonball Z. Have you ever actually tried to watch There’s like, three frames of animation per episode, most of which is either recapping the last. Madder. ONCE AGAIN. The end. And it only took ten episodes. What’s that? Oh, the game? {I have no idea, I got sidetracked|Distracted|Taken off on a tangent...Madder.
Look at some of the latest ps4 games, and, if you’re not hip to such things, is probably where most of your friends have gone
