ive been looking for this game for so long ive started to think it does NOT EXIST, so here is english and spanish description: (be aware i used google transl. cuz i was too lazy to write) It was a game about a person who used a skateboard and it was 3D, in one part of the game there was a big white cube with a big tree in the middle of it and on top of the tree there were coins I think, you could get on the tree using ramps that propelled you, moving on to other details, in the same cube there were soccer goals as well as a small soccer ball, if you managed to get out of the cube, you could realize that we were in the SKY, and there were certain islands, On one island there was a thing that you could get on, and on another island there was a disco ball that you could reach with the ramps to propel yourself, there was also a part where there was a fountain and you could get off the skateboard to swim in the water and it was blue
era un juego de una persona que usaba una patineta y era 3D, en una parte del juego había un gran cubo que por dentro era blanco, había un árbol grande en el centro del cubo y arriba del árbol habían monedas creo, te podías subir al árbol mediante unas rampas que te impulsaban, pasando a otros detalles, en el mismo cubo habían porterías de fútbol así como una pelota chiquita de fútbol, si lograbas salir del cubo, te podías dar cuenta que estabamos en el cielo, y habían ciertas islas, en una isla había un sube y baja al que te podías subir, y en otra isla había una bola disco a la cual podias llegar igual con las rampas para impulsarte, tambien había una parte donde estaba una fuente y te podías bajar de la patineta para nadar en el agua y era de color azul, y en otra isla había algo que parecía una sandía y era muy difícil meterte a esa sandía, era roja por dentro
I recently watched Ford vs Ferrari and after watching the races in that rainstorm I was wondering if there was somthing similar available to play in a game. Driving in first-person mode with limited visibility, wipers working overtime but not making much difference, water spraying from the tyres of the driver in front of you onto you etc. with all the rush and adrenaline of the situation filling you up. It would be pretty dope if there was a game like this. I play Forza Horizon regularly but that doesn't come close to the weather condition scenario, there's plenty of thrill in driving the cars though. Any suggestions are appreciated.
all i remember is that it was played vertically, there was multiple enemies (for example a chest with teeth and a tongue), plus i'm not sure ,but i think there were eggs that you could open.
Just watched Kingdom at the cinema and loved all the previous movies. But as a gamer, was wondering whether there are any decent Planet of the Apes games? And do you think the world and lore would make for a good game?
I looked at an old issue of Computer Games World magazine and in the review of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within the reviewers prime criticism was that they changed so much of the artistic direction from the Middle Eastern atmospheree previous games were famed for into something Gothic with heavy metal instrumentals, demenemies looking like they are straight from 300m, Starz Spartacus and Game of Thrones instead of traditional Arabian Nights mythology, and the very German looking architecture. That either than the Prince's costume and the antagonist being the Dahaka, an actual creature from Persian mythology and the ancient Zoroastrian religion founded in what is modern Iran, you would never know its a Prince of Persia game without it on the title. The reviewer said its a shame because the gameplay is very solid especially the combat system which is easily some of the best he seen that year across all of gaming (not just PC which was lacking in hack and slash and similar melee focused bloody genres). But the reviewer stated something along the lines that he also understands why the new artistic vision was chosen because The Sands of Time didn't really sell well he says............
I remembering reading this article years ago and I was scratching my head because across all platforms The Sands of Time got the equivalent of Bestseller labels on each specific system. Greatest Hits on PS2, Platinum Hits on Xbox, Player's Choice on Gamecube, and I seen in severals tores a "Bestseller" sticker on the front of the box of the PC release. In addition to multiple PC gaming monthly lists feature TSOT as a top 10 bestseller.
In addition I also remember seeing magazine calling Medal of Honor: Rising Sun a sales disappointment despite also earning Greatest Hits, Player's Choice, and Platinum Hits..........
In addition its common to see statements of Square being disappointed of Final Fantasy not selling well in the West prior to the 7th game. Despite the fact that several games were in top 10 bestseller lists in their month of release in North America and selling around a 100,000 copies, far more than most contemporary NES and SNES games. . To the point the first game not only came close to selling 1 million copies in North America during the first year, surpassing the millionth mark by the time the game was taken off shelves, but it actually even outsold the original Japanese release years earlier. Yet Square felt the franchise was not selling so well enough that they released Final Fantasy Mystic Quest with simplified gameplay to attract a larger audience on the SNES shortly after Final Fantasy 4 (which already was based on a re-release in Japan that was easier than the first edition). Despite FF4 making it to bestseller lists ieven in the USA and outselling a lot of games released alongside it.
So I ask why could a game still be considered not selling well, if not even an outright flop despite earning its platform's bestseller label (as seen in Shenmue which is considered one of the greatest flops of all time despite not only earning the Sega All Stars label which was Dreamcast's own Bestseller Tag, having sold over a million, and even being one of the top 5 bestselling games on that console)........
I mean even Starblaze admitted they were happy with the Chronciles of Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay's profits but also told gaming journalism they felt the game did not sell so much even though it got Platinum Hits as another example (in this case even more relevant to my question because the developer's were open about the game bringing profits to them)...........
I have to ask why are there games that sold so well to gain bestseller labels esp on multiple consoles considered as not just merely as niche games despite supposedly profitable sales but even considered as not selling well? I don't understand why something like Skate would be considered an underground game despite getting Greatest Hits and Platinum Hits across sequels? While the 3D Mortal Kombat era before the reboot were also considered big hits to be mainstream rather than merely underground(even though Skate and MK 3D all got Greatest Hits and Platinum hits across their franchises in these years)?
I know this is a topic that I've discussed before on different forums, but it's just getting to a point where it's making me pretty irritated. With all the latest controversies surrounding Sony lately, from the censorship of games to enforcing PSN accounts in order to play certain titles on Playstation/PC, it deters me from supporting them as a company. However, at this point Playstation 4 may be the only stable platform that I can experience Elden Ring on, or the DLC for that matter, as it runs the game without any freezing, unlike my Steam Deck, but I also own the game physically. Also with Sony becoming a major shareholder of Fromsoftware, I'm concerned that it will contribute to Fromsoft producing more exclusives for Sony in the future, which I don't have a problem with, but it does conflict with the feelings I hold for Sony at this point. Also with Sony's stocks taking a massive hit, it makes me concerned that companies that they support, like Fromsoft, will become effected by this as well.
I know many would say I should just continue playing the game on Steam, if that's how I really feel, and I admit there are many things that I do like about Steam and wouldn’t normally have a problem with it, but with it being a digital only copy of the game, there's always the possibility that it could be removed at any time. Also, as mentioned before, the only stable Steam-related device that I have at this time is the Steam Deck, and even with low-res settings, disabled shaders and lowered frame rates, it still freezes up on me when playing on that system, not always but often enough that it becomes a regular problem. I also don't have the budget or justification for a gaming PC at this time, having recently used my spare funds to pick up a Surface Laptop Studio 2 for my teaching/ animation job. I apologize again for how ranty this got, but I really needed to get it out of my system, and would appreciate any input anyone might have on the matter. Am I overthinking this and just being ridiculous, or does anyone on this forum have similar thoughts? What would the more suitable path be for me to take at this time?
Hi there. I’m looking for this video game where you are like a zebra and roll around in a bubble, dodging things like spikes in the road and banana peels etc, while trying to win a race. Any one know this game? Cartoony style.. thanks for your time :)
It was a game I used to play somewhere between 2012-2016, it was on a website that had many games on it such as age of war and stick war all the goodies, but there was one game that was like a 2d playing field where you had to fight through the enemies troops to destroy their tower.
If you have a idea reply I might have a little more info I can give but a couple more details one of the first characters that you got had a type of mortar on his back. this game is kinda has a medieval vibe to it

Hey everyone,
So a couple years ago I remember watching this game where you ride on a bus and get out sometimes and there would be these abandoned bus stops in the middle of nowhere. You could be in a forest and the next stop you would be at a giant lake where it’s just the bus stop in the water.
I can’t seem to find this game anywhere because every search is cluttered up by bus simulator results.
Anyone know this game pls tell me I’ve been wanting to play this so bad

My gf is on Nintendo Switch and I am on PC Im just wondering what are some good free games we can play together. We’ve played Minecraft and Dauntless shes not really into shooting games please give me some free suggestions
I remember playing a game as a kid where one of the levels you had to redirect some light beams to defeat a big ice lion or something.... There were also I think treasure maps? I know it was a puzzle game but it was really fun. It's been a long time so I must have played it on a PS2?? I don't feel like it's a PS3 game but I could be wrong. I swear I played it on the TV but it also could have been Nintendo DS... Dam I really want to remember lmao.
Basically, I want a buckshot roulette download that doesn't trigger mcafee. And preferably one that I don't have to pay for.

I am just curious if anybody has the same memory I do of the first news that the public ever got about “A Way Out” while it was still early on in development. It was touted as being a full fledged open world prison game with the goal of escape. Not the linear story driven experience we received. I’m not by any means saying the final product is not a phenomenal game. I bought it and thoroughly enjoyed playing it. I just know that it wasn’t what the game was originally going to be. I’m just curious to see who else remembers the original direction they were going with it/what you remember about it. I can’t find any coverage of it anywhere to make sure I’m not going crazy.
i played this game when i was younger, so i don't have much to go on with unfortunately, but i would still love to have any sort of help. all i know is that you arrive on a train into a town which was partially destroyed by a war. you have a room reserved in a inn. while making your way to the inn, you see how the buildings are in rumbles because of the war and there was even a slight jumpscare where there was somebody standing in the window of a second-storey building. i also remember finding a pouch you get from a child with a needle inside. there was also this field which you go to which was covered in spikes (because of the war), and there was a screen where you could see the shadow of people impaled on these spikes. i also remember that after all of this, you try leaving again through the train. this is a puzzle-adventure game i believe where you have click to get through everything. i'll try to remember more details, so please do help out :)
Ive been thinking about this for a while, but im hesitating because people have been claiming that they have been getting the game that they paid for being a trial game, and saying that the digital game code comes in weeks, and generally unreliable. Can anyone who has experienced this confirm it? or should i just buy from the company that made the game instead.
Years ago I played a lot Runescape, metin2 and other games that according to my criteria would be something classic haha, recently for a feeling of nostalgia I was interested in looking for information about whether those games were still alive and how they remained in force, I found there is an internet market where players trade item with real money, anyone knows how it works and in any case in which games does that more? thanks.
I have been playing the Assassin's Creed games by order of release date. I started with the original Assassin's Creed 1. When I finished that, I played Assassin's Creed 2 and then Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Right now, I'm on Assassin's Creed Revelations and still have many more Assassin's Creed games to go. This will take up a lot of time to finish all the main games. For the people that have played these games, is it worth spending the time playing them?
trying to find this game that i used to play on app store where it was a long strip of shops and it was like a business tycoon and you used to be a taxi driver and just had to take people up and back to those shops and add more and more shops as the game went on ? does anyone know
My understanding is a softlock is where the game is technically still playable but you're stuck in a situation where you cant progress at all, and a hardlock is where the game is permanently corrupted or broken, but im unsure if thats correct.
Like take for example FNAF Security Breach
Would a soft lock situation involve getting stuck in a place in a map you physically cant escape, and a hard lock situation being a bug which permanently breaks functionality in the main code preventing access to a save?
So when i was younger we used to have this little statues of fantasy creatures, they were standing on these black disks which had white turnable disks in it with its stats in it. Does anyone know the name? Please
