Welcome to The GameTZ Game Club! This is my attempt at forming an easy to get into book club type thing, but with games! Anybody, and everybody, is welcome to join in on the fun!

Rules:

- Each month a random game will be chosen, by myself, for the club to play. Games can vary from the beginning of gaming onward to current-generation platforms. There are no limitations!

- You have from the 1st of every month to 11:59PM EST of the final day to complete the designated game. 100% completion isn't required. The point of the club is to provoke game discussion, as well as give GameTZ veterans and new users a place to mingle!]

- For every game completed, post a picture as proof of your completion Example. This is essential in order to receive your badge and entry to the monthly raffle.

- You will be awarded with a badge each month you complete the game. All badges will be proudly displayed next to your name in the original post. As long as you "roll credits" the game is considered beaten!

- Some months will feature prizes! Every user to complete the game of the month will be thrown into a drawing to win prizes! Users will be assigned a number and users will be randomly generated at some point the following month.

- Prizes will vary. Prizes will beon a donation basis by either me or another member. Sometimes physical, sometimes digital. If you would like to contribute, drop me a message.

- If you don't own the game, and you have access to it on another platform, you're welcome to play it that way. Just make sure that it's the same version, to qualify for the prize or badge.

- If you do not want to participate in the games, but would like to join in on the conversations, please do!

- If you would like to join, just post here, and I'll add you to the list of users. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or criticism, please don't hesitate to post them!

niceeee. I probably won't have time for it, but glad I can make it up at some point if I don't!

That will be a make up for me as well. I'm trying not to play it until I finally get a PSVR2 (same reason I haven't touched RE8 yet).

Ended up picking up Stray on the Xbox. Since I had some credit expiring. Was pleasantly surprised it's a play anywhere title so I could play on PC if I choose. Not sure if I'll be able to get to it this month but I've been wanting to play the cat sim for a while.

Weird, I thought that was console exclusive to PlayStation.

I was a timed exclusive. It appears to have released on Xbox back in August this year.

I’ll definitely be beating RE4 Remake again eventually as a makeup, but I’m waiting for the PSVR2 version to come out too.

We really should make sure we get a Dec game since it's already past half way through Nov... maybe a game staring now that can be in either month?

Sorry for the delay guys (and the weirdly typed typo last month)

This month will be Spider Man month.

We already had the first one, so this badge is for Miles Morales and/or Spider Man 2.

Oh no! I just finished Spider-Man 2 last month and beat Miles Morales when it first came out. Those are both great games though.

I haven't played any of them. I do own the first game though, and I'm pretty sure Miles Morales is in the PS+ Extra Game Catalog, and I've heard that game is on the short side, so I could definitely finish it before the month ends. But is Miles Morales a big improvement over the first game? Like, would it feel like a step backwards gameplay-wise when I eventually go back to play the first game?

Miles is a step up in that it feels a bit more arcadey and the pace is faster. The remastered original is a bit slower combat wise but not terribly- and it feels more relaxed to me. Spiderman 2 actually lets you play as both so it’s a mix of styles.

If you enjoy MM then going back to OG would feel fine.

Okay, I'm going to try to participate this month. I loved the first Spider-Man game and want to play Miles Morales before jumping on the sequel.

Bought Miles Morales during the last Steam sale. Good excuse to give this a playthrough if I can make the time.

I was going to pick a Christmasy game, but the only one I could come up with was Dead Rising 4

Yeah, I can't really think of too many games that take place on Christmas. The only two that come to mind are that NiGHTS Into Dreams little spin-off on the Sega Saturn, and Batman: Arkham Origins.
