☆ My Top 10 Mortal Kombat 2 Fatalities, Babalities & Friendships! ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

For me, Mortal Kombat 2 was like nothing that I could possibly imagine and when it first came out in the early 90's I was in awe of this horror movie of a fighting game!

It shocked me and I loved it. 

It made the with blood / without blood Street Fighter 2 conversations melt away into insignificance.

☆ 2016 -The PS4 Diaries Part 17 "Life Jim But Not As We Know It" ☆ #PS4 #GamersUnite

Going into Life Is Strange I didn’t really know what to expect.

I’d been browsing the Playstation Store and came across the first episode for FREE.

I’d always thought that this game wouldn’t be for me. I’d imagined that it was some kind of teen drama aimed at well……..Teens...............

But I thought that I’d give the first episode a go as it was for Free.

I’d watched the trailer and fell in love with the music and art style that was being used to great effect in the game.
