Happy Chinese New Year 2021! Gong Xi Fatt Chai! Pretty strange welcoming the Year of the (Metal/Golden Ox) while hunkering down due to a Movement Control Order thanks to Covid-19. In any case, going through a lockdown isn’t so bad if everyone plays their part.

Lockdown has result in a up in gaming quotient, and I just finished a session of StarCraft II, specifically on my favourite Arcade title, Left 2 Die, which emphasizes on turtling throughout the night and then attacking during the day; rinse and repeat.

The Nintendo Switch has been accompanying me to the car wash right before CNY. When one has more than 2 cars to get washed, one would end up spending a fair bit of time waiting inline at the car wash. Game of choice? Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered. That game is an excellent piece of work on the Switch.

Games to check out next? I’m interested in playing Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury next. I’ve also just purchased Dawn of War: Soulstorm, so I’m pretty eager to get back into the original game after having played II and III and finding them to be not my cup of tea.

So what games have you been checking out during the holiday season? Sound off on the comments or on Nineoverten’s Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/NineOverTen910
