I used to be a massive PES fan as well so that set up sounds quite lovely to me sir! Looks like you're all set there as well Lego! Potentially terrible news from my end - just got a text to say the courier has left my package next door.....in a house full of students!! Can't have my console sat over...

Would love to hear your thoughts on the next gen version of FIFA mate. I've got it on 360 and heard quite a bit about differences not just in terms of looks but also more nuanced physics etc that have got me wondering whether I should upgrade, but you never know if that's just PR hype..... When you'...

Well that looks wonderful Nokkon! Making me supremely jealous - my One is just about to arrive at my house in Sheffield by courier, as promised by ShopTo. Only problem - I'm not there! :x Stuck at the office in Manchester, and then travelling home to Wiltshire tonight for a family get together so wo...

I'm seriously tempted by this one too. Haven't put my money down yet as torn between this and Assassin's Creed 4 (haven't played one since AC2 and the idea of a pirate game is pretty appealing!) so I think I'm going to take the cowards way out and wait for reviews! As long as they're half decent it ...

Reviews are coming in for the launch games! Good news - Dead Rising 3, Zoo Tycoon, Powerstar Golf, Killer Instinct all largely getting positive 7 or aboves. Not so good news - Lococycle as terrible as expected. Truly awful news - Crimson Dragon not scoring well! I had my suspicions about this one bu...

Just listened to this one and just wanted to say great job guys. Really captured the essence of what it's like to be sucked in by these beautifully addictive games! Only sorry I wasn't quick enough to contribute some thoughts of my own! I've been sucked in by the iOS versions the last few years and ...

Some slightly worrying reports of early hardware issues are starting to come out: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/11/14/broken-playstation-4-systems Lots of horrible fanboys gloating on the message boards around the net but fingers firmly crossed from me for all those getting launch PS4s that these ...

You're right! Damn, that totally passed me by! Apparently now Kinect will be used to give "squad commands through speech and gesture" according to Wikipedia.....mmm.....will still wait for reviews I think......

I came on to the forum today just to tell folks about this very same book Leon! Great minds..... ;) As a childhood Sega kid who loved his Megadrive, this book looks like a gift from the gaming Gods! Was seriously tempted by the £250 edition with exclusive Naoto Ashima print but not sure my good lady...

I sank many happy hours into Soul Calibur on Dreamcast, which at the time was just the most beautiful game I'd ever seen! I did pick up SC2 on Xbox and SC4 on 360 but never really got hooked by either, and I didn't find the game play had moved on a great deal since the Dreamcast so lost interest fai...

Resident Evil Revelations (3DS with Circle Pad Pro) Really enjoyed this and it felt like a return to 'proper' Resident Evil for me with the claustrophobic atmosphere, ammo conservation and haunted house (in this case ship!) set up. The 3D worked very nicely and I was hugely impressed by the visuals ...

Day one for me as well

Forza 5, Crimson Dragon and one of Dead Rising 3 or Ryse I think (going to wait for reviews before making that choice as I'm quite keen to get Ryse to try a next gen Kinect game, but no bloomin' idea how it's going to turn out!)

No free Killer Instinct in my inbox! Damn! What's a guy gotta do.....Gold member since day one.....30k+ gamerscore...... :( Oh well! Can't say I was ever a big fan of KI to be honest but interested to see how they've rebooted it, which I'll be able to do given that it's free to play. Haven't got stu...

Just completed Fire Emblem Awakening on 3DS. Fantastic! My first ever Fire Emblem game and I found it a real joy. Beautifully balanced turn-based strategy and losing a character permanently when they fall in battle is a simple but effective way of making you really care for them. The dialogue in con...

Delb2k - I couldn't agree with you more sir. It has all just got a bit ridiculous hasn't it and the petty squabbling amongst so called gamers has made me a bit depressed about the state of my hobby. The hatred that people are throwing at each other purely for their choice of games console is madness...

There speaks a man who sounds like he knows what he's talking about! I'd read an article on Digital Foundry (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-vs-the-xbox-one-architects) featuring an interview by the system architects (quiet interesting stuff but much of it beyond me!) that sounded l...

Great topic this! I was always a bit of Sega kid back in the day and many of my fondest gaming memories and favourite titles live on their platforms, so I've still got a Gamegear, Megadrive, Saturn and Dreamcast, although none are plugged in and haven't been used in quite a long while now. The one t...

Ah ok! So if I pick up the HD collection on 360 or PS3 and just play those two it should see me right....

Thanks mate!

Just joined the league. Currently having a shocking season of it so those of you in the top half of the table don't worry, I shall trouble yee not!

Must say I'm really looking forward to MGS 5 after the recent trailer! Only problem is I've never played a single other MGS game before, so I'm worried it'll all be gibberish to me and I really don't have the time to work my way through all the previous entries.... I'm currently playing the glorious...
