^Blackwake is awesome fun - so hilarious to play and it looks great. Really need to get back on that to see how its developing. Got into the beta of Ship of thieves and whilst all features weren't present; it was quite a bland experience and very watered-down (excuse the pun) compared to its ambitions. It looks stunning at times but it seems repetitive and could get boring fast. Also beware of Microsoft paid actor shills pretending to be gamers promoting the game...

Too right! I'll get that for my Birthday and I may even get a PS4 Pro too

It's a shame that Modern Warfare 2's player counts are broken as it would be really interesting to see how many are playing that and Black Ops 1 now. It's also a shame that the COD games have censored the player counts and even cut the leaderboards to cover up any embarrassments after Ghosts had less players than BO2 the same weekend after lauch. There is no doubt that more people are playing the old games collectively than are playing the latest one. IW and MW:R were dead after December and WW2 doesn't seem to be massively popular either. 2009-2011 with MW2 and BO were definitely the golden age of the series and you'd always see 500,000 to 1.5m on at any given time. BO doesn't feel dated in the slightest either - it does everything and more than WW2 does today without the supply drop bullshit and competitive focus. The maps are so much better too. MW2 has a lot of hacking problems now which is a shame but it's still as much fun as it ever was when you do get into a stable match.

Game has been delayed again but this time we have a fixed release date of October 26th 2018.

EA + BioWare = bad game guaranteed.

Swansea 3-1 Arsenal Arsenal clinging onto 6th place

Before I part with any money on this game; I am going to have to do some serious reading of all the small print and how things work.

Sold out already!

Currently £21.85 on eBay through ShopTo with free postage which is the best deal going right now https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shadow-of-the-Colossus-PS4-PRE-ORDER-ITEM-Release-Date-07-02-2018/362209660958?epid=7012595553&hash=item545560d01e:g:CgsAAOSwmSdaVlvE

This game was increidble back in the day and this remaster looks like they've done an epic job

Out in a couple of weeks - hard to gauge how good it truly is or could be but definitely worth keeping an eye on for reviews and feedback

160,000 on XB1 last night but the biggest surprise was the 140,000 on PS3 At this rate Treyarch will be making new DLC for it

I've got my one here

This was a great game but proves VAR needs some desperate tweaking before it's fully rolled out into football Also Spurs can beat Real Madrid but they can't beat Newport County...

Elder Scrolls Online is supposed to be really good these days. Can be got dirt cheap and no subscription either. Good expansions too.

Yeah, I think the $anchez/Mickey swap deal was the best outcome for all parties but Man Utd will be the happiest overall as they ridded a player surplus for requirements in exchange for a top player with only his outlandish wages to cover which could be done through global marketing and sales alone. Arsenal get a reasonable player in return and offload someone that doesn't want to be there without losing him for a free in the summer. Could've been a lot worse and embarrassing for them had Sanchez walked for nothing where even West Ham and QPR could offer him a contract Isn't Mesut 'offside eyes' Ozil out of contract too this summer? If so; I would have thought there would have been drama with him going on this window too.

Forgot this game existed and is coming out in a couple of months! I've had all the Far Cry games minus Primal but I'm not a massive fan of the series although I did quite like 3 a few years ago. Far Cry 4 was very disappointing I found as despite the size; it still felt quite claustrophobic with too many verticle/mountainous areas rather than a nice open world to play in. Far Cry 5 does look more up my street albeit a bit barmy but should be good fun and worth keeping an eye on in the coming weeks

I had to get the PC version as my PS4 is on its last legs sadly which is why I don't even have PSN. If I ever need any tips and tricks though, you're the man! Many thanks Stretch

Free for a limited time https://www.humblebundle.com/store/amnesia-collection - usually £26.99

This comes out finally in the UK in a couple of months - it's a bit like a wacky Shenmue. Very highly rated game since its release in Japan a long time ago and could be worth a look as we wait for Shenmue 3!

I managed to pick up Injustice 2 standard edition for £11 so I grabbed that but definitely open to exploring the others games too. DBZ looks entertaining but I may wait to see if I can get that cheaper and the only real thing putting me off SFV was the DLC BS in the original version but now the Arcade (GOTY ver basically) edition is out; that makes it a more attractive purchase. I may leave Tekken 7 aside - although I grew up with the series and the new game is supposed to be decent; the story elements aren't quite as deep as Injustice or as interesting as SFV and jumping into the online element now would no doubt see my arse spanked!

Core matchmaking is based on your player rank and you start your way at level 20 and aim to reach level 1. If you are playing solo, you will be matched with 3 other similarly ranked players although with ranks being reset each month; you may see a level 20 player but they may have just started from scratch again but are a really good team player who has been rank 1 many times before. You can also play with friends (Survive With Friends) which welcomes all ranks. This is a game that really encourages teamwork and every match can play out drastically different which is great and makes ranking up more challenging. You really have to think on your feet and have good awareness. A good team aims to get generators done quickly and if players are hooked; they try and save them as best they can whilst trying not to comrpomise their own saftey in the process. Timing and players working in sync is key as matches can easily have a domino effect where one player gets caught and then others also get impacted and this means gens aren't being done. Matches can last from 7 minutes to over half hour. As points matter; players will do their utmost best to help others and from experience; it's one of the best co-op experiences going where everybody of any ability can play a crucial part. It's pure fun but with competitive and teamwork elements; for such a basic concept; it does go really deep which makes it such an ingenious game. Developers work on the game round the clock and they are always balancing and improving the game. Major updates (chapters) happen every 6 months or so which see a new killer, new perks, new map and new add-ons. Funnily enough the new killer from the Saw movies was released yesterday

Motherwell rip the piss out of Sanchez's cringeworthy introduction video Original Fantastic stuff!
