Apparently it is and according to Sledgehammer; they will 'take COD back to its roots'.

98 on Metacritic so far...

Liverpool have appointed EA's Peter Moore as CEO http://www.thisisanfield.com/2017/02/liverpool-appoint-former-ea-sports-figurehead-peter-moore-new-ceo/ Liverpool fans will be buying season passes instead of season tickets from now on it seems...

Ocarina of Time was the best game I've ever played and despite getting The Wind Waker and the Twilight Princess after; nothing can beat that game. Even with my copy of the WW on the GameCube; I gave up and popped in the OOT mini disc and played the 'remaster' instead. Not sure if Nintendo have it in them to create any groundbreaking titles like they did back in the old days and I really miss that and the PS4/XB1 is being filled with so many shitty season pass/DLC riddled games that forever disappoint yet the N64 was full of great games that despite a hefty price; you got so much value for money out of them. I hope Nintendo do well with the Switch as this is their last shot and having a console and handheld combined; the must and should succeed...

It's coming back! This phone was insanely popular back in the millennium and everyone including the queen probably had one. Definitely the best phone I've ever had and a technological masterpiece that will forever upstage any advancements past and present in the smartphone sector. Not sure about this reboot but what you're getting is a phone that's a fucking phone to make phone calls with. Texts and snake also included! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-39095127

Raneri sacked! Bit shocked but with the way football is these days; it's not a massive surprise.

Played nearly a couple of hours of the beta on PC so far and this game is the mixed bag I was expecting. Visually, it looks magnificent at times and the draw distances along with the general scale is insane. Some textures are iffy as hell up close but all in all; it looks incredible for the most part. The combat seems decent and I like the 1st person ADS and the movement controls are also reasonable although the cover elements aren't as slick as their other games such as The Division and even bloody Watch Dogs 2. The amount of negative aspects here is pretty alarming though and really drags the game down. Character creation is pretty garbage just like The Division and Ubisoft will no doubt be farming out decent cosmetics through DLC at a price of course. The story is as weak and confusing as hell along with being rather uninspired. The acting is pretty poor and the script is painfully bad most of the time. This may be a beta but we all know from experience that its more of a demo and some things just cannot and will not be fixed. The driving is very poor and there are issues with the collision detection and general physics being somewhat wonky. The AI is pretty shite and at times the game is painfully easy. The missions I've played so far just stink of your typical sandbox cliche and combine this with the poor narrative and script anyway; and the whole game will probably just feel like a bland experience where everything you do is linear and feels like a side mission. It's clear that the developers are focusing purely on co-op and it's up to the gamers to create their own story to bolster their experience. As a solo game; it's pretty weak and although you have 3 other AI players you can direct who actually perform decently; you really need to be playing with friends to get the most out of it because it's very empty and mediocre otherwise.

Sutton keeper coach resigns in 'Pie-gate' http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39045017

Another good tie tonight. Sutton played really well and deserved a goal in all honesty. Arsenal we professional about it throughout so fair play to them too. Huddersfield v Lincoln final it is..

Yeah I think we would've given them a massive test again but at the same time a replay would have made our fixture pile-up even worse - already got games in hand against Charlton, Bolton and Sheff Utd which has been re-arranged 4 times already and if we got a draw yesterday; it would have got cancelled again lol! Also got the EFL Trophy semi final coming up so we're pretty much playing every Saturday and Tuesday now and any more games will see us playing Thursday mornings probably! We could have easily gone out in the first round away at Macclesfield so I can't complain really. Getting ready to watch the Spurs game now which should be interesting!

Fair play to 10 man Millwall for adding insult to injury to Leicester's season! Amazing draw for Huddersfield against Man City too. Gutted about Oxford - went 2-0 down after a slow start; managed to pull it back to 2-2; went on to dominate the rest of the match only to get caught on the break late on as we didn't want a replay. Sick defeat but we did well in the end and it's not often you see Prem sides against lower opposition having 11 men behind the ball a whole half! Looking forward to the draw nevertheless and hope Lincoln secure a big day out or a route that could see them in the semis. Sutton v Arsenal could be a laugh too!

Burnley 0-1 Lincoln. My accumulator is fucked but this is epic!

My FA Cup predictions.. Burnley 3-1 Lincoln Huddersfield 0-3 Man City Middlesbrough 1-1 Oxford Millwall 2-1 Leicester Wolves 0-4 Chelsea Fulham 2-2 Spurs Blackburn 1-3 Man Utd Sutton 1-0 Arsenal

I saw the open beta is from Feb 23rd to 27th.

I saw the deluxe edition for £32 on GMG the other day and I was so bloody tempted but decided to pass in the end. If the game is still well played in a few months; I may grab it then and it'll certainly be 40%+ off by then. My biggest concern is longevity and the fact it's P2P is a massive worry which suggests Ubisoft are cheapskating it or they feel that the game wont last very long. Looks decent though but at full price with a season pass + microtransactions galore including progression ones; no thanks for now.

All you can do with uPlay games purchased outside of Steam is add them as a non-Steam game to your library. You can access the Steam overlay this way but many new Ubisoft titles even prevent this due to the anti-cheat not allowing it. Siege usually goes in the sale at 50% off at worst now so I'd wait for a decent discount as the base price is still full price now.

Yeah, I haven't bought any DLC yet and probably wont either or until I get it in one pack at a reasonable price. There were pretty much 3 major expansions within the first 5 months that were blatantly withheld material and now it's practically one a month plus other cosmetic and race add-ons which is outrageous. Game isn't a year old and there's £50 of DLC so far and probably another few hundreds worth this year also. The base game is decent but empty and its the DLC that's being held to ransom that is essential for the experience but I'm not paying top dollar for the privilege.

Amazing 'Freedom' bundle on Humble right now https://www.humblebundle.com/freedom

..Nope!

...but I can't help it. Why people do this to themselves and keep doing it is beyond me. 50 plastic surgeries later and more to come...

Bloody hell; Sutton 1-0 Leeds

Great game so far! Still haven't finished but it's been fantastic throughout. It's very similar to the classic games in terms of tone and structure but the first person perspective brings it in-line with the immersive modern horror games we have today such as Alien Isolation and Outlast. I think the Resi series is finally back and it's definitely worth a purchase if you can squeeze it in within the coming months

Oxford 3-0 Newcastle

Good video here explaining the situation
