Game Time With Jess: should I work or play Resident Evil 2?

A couple of games caught my eye this week. The first one is Wandersong, which comes out on PS4 January 22. This little guy is all about singing and hope, which instantly hooked me. Don't get me wrong wrong, I love my gory hack and slash, but sometimes you just want something else.

Wandersong's already been released on PC, so I jumped on it and gave it a shot. It's just what I thought it'd be. Cute and whimsical. Rainbow colors exploding everywhere, silly ghosts and a kitty with butterfly wings. You even get dance moves. It's been so refreshing to play, I can't wait to get back to it.

Next up, is Slay the Spire on PC, which leaves early access on January 23. This is one of the few games I purchased in early access and it was already a solid game. Your goal is to defeat monsters as you climb the spire following the path of your choice. You can pick the safe path or the riskier one. Either way, you build your card deck and collect relics as you climb to make yourself stronger. It's easy to play and never boring with three characters to chose from. I'm looking forward to playing the finished game.

Thursday brings Jackquest: the Tale of the Sword to PC. It's an action platformer with pixellated artwork. It's got monsters to kill, loot to collect, secrets to find and, as always, power-ups and weapons. It looks completely fun and satisfying.

But Friday is my big day. I've been waiting months for this. Resident Evil 2: the Remake. I played this constantly when it first came out on Playstation. So, to play it again, but completely overhauled gives me shivers.

The monkey wrench is I also have a short story competition that I'm competing in. The story is due Saturday night. Typically Friday and Saturday are my frenzy days where I'm in the thick of edits and rewrites. Can I finish the short story before Friday? Fingers crossed, cause Leon and I have a date.

Throughout the week I'll stream my escapades on my Twitch channel gametimewithjess. Join me for awkwardness and fun.

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
