Top 5 games to play when The Great British Bake Off finishes

Now The Great British Bake Off has finished, we here at Green Man Gaming thought it would be a great idea to list our top 5 games to play now that the post Bake Off blues has hit.

overcooked

Overcooked

In Overcooked you and up to 3 other friends must prepare, cook and serve a variety of tasty treats and meals for customers. The game ramps up the chaos pretty quickly as players have to work against the clock, as a team to get their meals to hungry impatient customers. It’s basically the closest thing to the Great British Bake off in our opinion.

fatp

Fat Princess

Fat Princess is a Multi-player real time strategy game for up to 32 players. The main aim is to rescue the cake addicted princess and get her back to your teams base. The cool thing here is players can pick up cake and feed it to the princess which then makes it harder for the other team to drag her back to their base. It’s just a shame the princess doesn’t judge the cakes on their quality before she scoffs them down.

mama

Cooking Mama

Yet another game where you have to prepare meals in the quickest time possible, Cooking Mama is a great game for gamers out there who prefer to follow a recipe. Mama gives you a variety of cooking tasks in order to create the perfect meal. If you don’t finish the tasks within the time limit then soggy bottoms are pretty much guaranteed.

cheesecake

Cheesecake Cool Conrad

If travelling through space collecting pieces of ice cream to put King Banana’s wife back together is more of your thing then Cheesecake Cool Conrad is for you! The prize for collecting all the pieces of ice cream and constructing the ice cream queen is the opportunity to wed princess cheesecake! Nice!

portal

Portal

Whilst Portal is not directly linked to cookery in any way we thought it should make the top 5 as you are promised a cake for fully testing out the Aperture Science handheld portal device. Don’t believe what you hear, the cake is not a lie… we promise…

Honorable Mentions:

Here are a couple of honorable mentions that didn’t quite make it into our top 5 list:

  • ‘Splosion Man

In ‘Splosion man you are tasked with escaping the laboratory where you are created. At the end of each level of this crazy 2D platformer you are awarded cake. We loooovveee cake.

Do we really need to say anymore? It’s a level made of cake, what more could you want?

  • Our very own Green Man Gaming Cake

Though technically not a game we had a cake made for us to celebrate our website going Alpha, we thought it would be rude not to share it.

gmg-cake

So there you have it, our top 5 games to play when The Great British Bake Off finishes. These should hopefully tide you over until next year! unless you aren’t a fan of Channel 4, but lets not get into that.

Titanfall 2: What to expect from singleplayer

Back when the first Titanfall was announced at E3 2013, the game was met with a barrage of hype and excitement. The very idea of jumping in and out of a Mech at will was reason enough to send quite a few gamers loopy with excitement. When the game was finally released in April of 2014 some gamers were disappointed as there was a distinct lack of a singleplayer campaign. True, the game was marketed as a multi-player experience, but gamers yearned for a storyline set in Titanfall’s awesome universe.

Fast forward to 2016 and Titanfall 2 is just around the corner! It promises to bring a lot more of the epic multiplayer action that we fell in love with in the first game, and (by popular demand of course) a singleplayer story line that dives head first into the Titanfall universe.

So what can we expect from the Titanfall 2 campaign? The game is set in the far future where the human race has terraformed and colonised resource rich planets in what has been dubbed as frontier space. The IMC (Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation) thinks it’s a great idea to bleed all the resources dry from these planets.  As you can imagine this more than annoys a fair few people and the Rebel Militia is formed. The Titanfall 2 story then picks up in the middle of a war between the IMC and the Rebel Militia.

Gamers jump into the army boots of  Jack Cooper, a rifle man for the Frontier Militia who aspires to become a pilot and obtain his very own Titan. The story begins when Jack comes across BT-7274 (BT for short), a veteran Vanguard-class Titan whose pilot is killed in action. BT then voluntarily links with Jack and the campaign kicks off from there.

Of course Titanfall 2 is not all about the singleplayer experience, as Respawn have ramped up some of the features in the games ever so popular multiplayer. The most noticeable change is the hefty amount of abilities that both Titan and Pilot can obtain. Pilots are now able to use cloaking and grappling hooks that can be attached to pretty much anything (Titans included). There are now four Titan model specialisations for gamers to get their mitts on as well.

We cannot wait for Titanfall 2! It’s great that Respawn Entertainment have finally added a singleplayer campaign to the game, and we can’t wait to get our hands on it.

Top 5 Skyrim Mods

As the special edition of Skyrim is just around the corner, we thought it would be an awesome idea to highlight some of our most favourite Skyrim mods. So without further a-do here are our top 5 mods for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

1. Thomas The Tank Engine

If you find adorable blue trains with faces on them far more scarier than dragons, then this is the mod for you! All dragons have been replaced by Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends. These devilish locomotives come completed with a tooting horn and a devastating steam engine flame thrower attack. You have been warned.

2. Dohvah Bear Companion

Fans of  the Dovah Bear cartoon and fans of armoured bears in general will love this mod. Once Dovah bear becomes your new companion he will do various tasks for you, such as mauling people and looking cute in a helmet.

3. My Little Pony Steed

If like us you find plain old Skyrim horses a bit boring then this mod will be right up your street. Your steed will be replaced with one of the infamous ponies and also comes complete with lightening magic. Nice!

4. Spider-Man Frost Spiders

Frost spiders are quite nasty in Skyrim, so what better way to deal with the pesky arachnids than replacing them with everyones favourite friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. The mod even comes with some classic Spider-man quips as well.

5. The Chicken Born

The chicken born gives any Dovahkiin a run for their money. In this mod you can summon chickens, don some pretty awesome looking chicken armour and summon the ultimate chicken.The ultimate chicken can lay waste to even the most powerful dragons.

So there you have it, our top 5 Skyrim mods. True, they aren’t the most serious mods out there but they do make the game pretty darn interesting.
