When playing Call of Duty games; ALL ports should be 'Open' - playing on 'Moderate' means you cannot be chosen as a host and may experience restricted voice chat outside of a party. Playing on 'Strict' will only match you with players playing on 'Open' which can reduce the efficiency and quality of the matchmaking and cause connection issues. You also can't host a match and experience zero voice chat outside of a party. Add or open port 3075 on your router and see if that works.

Nah, Oxford will win the league, win the FA Cup and win the JPT It's been a great season for us as we're doing well in the league and cups but the games are building up to the extent we'll soon be playing 3 every week I expect! I'd be happy with a 3rd place finish this year and that's it as despite the 4 promotion places in League 2; it's a bitch of a league to get out of especially when you have massive teams like Portsmouth and Plymouth in there and a selection of tinpot teams who don't come to play football but play to sabotage your aspirations We have Blackburn at home in the FA Cup 4th Round on Saturday which should be a great but tough game - they are FA Cup tryhards and we may even have to field a second string as we have bigger fish to fry in the league and some huge games coming up. We then have the JPT Southern Area Final on Tuesday night against Millwall - we beat those pricks 2-0 in the away leg and even with Wembley beckoning again; we may even have to field the womens team Fantastic season though regardless of what happens up and down the leagues and as long as Arsehole or Swingdump Town don't win anything; it's a reasonable consolation

This first person open world puzzler looks incredible and plenty of highly rated reviews too!

I dunno if anyone plays this but I picked up FIFA 16 recently after having a couple of years off the series and I cannot believe how fucked up EA Sports have made this once highly-improving franchise. On the old gen, PES struggled whilst FIFA thrived year after year until FIFA 12 when it was a finally a near-perfect representation of football in respects to the technology available and the FIFA games as a whole. FIFA 13 and 14 were merely tweaked in different directions - one being more arcadey and fast paced and the latter being more focused on tactical play throughout the 90. FIFA 16 seems to fuse both these old and unpopular elements and provides a dreadful representation of not just football but how the series has made absolutely no progress even with the new Ignite engine - if anything; it's gone backwards and EA have undone all their good work leading up to FIFA 13. Even the current gen FIFA 14 which was my last game in the series; was far more credible and quality. Firstly, the AI on FIFA 16 is not just the worst I've seen in the series but probably the worst in any football game this millennium. The opposition just pass and pass and pass and pass and pass regardless of the score and it's near impossible to get the ball. The AI has no intelligence or regard to the situation - even if it's losing 1-0 with minutes to go; it will just defensively pass the ball around and waste time on your behalf! They can whip it round and all you can do is watch as your players try and chase whilst draining their energy. The only way to stop this is by fouling the opponents and getting a guaranteed yellow card in the progress from the terrible refs. It makes for some of the most torturous and mind-numbing gameplay. FIFA 14's AI was actually very smart so I'm stunned it's gone this way. This video sums it up perfect - this happens in practically every single game for most of the match when you don't have the ball:- Next up; the passing - this is rage-inducing at the highest level as no matter how good you are, how good the player is or how accurate you can be; passing the ball even just a few yards is based on pure luck. So many passes go astray, to the opposition or don't reach the team mate when even holding the button down for more/max power. You can however do the driven pass (R1+A/X) in which your player slams the ball magically at the feet of others and they can control it with ease but it just looks and feels ridiculous. It's impossible at times just to retain possession or create an attack of any kind as you can lose the ball so easily or you inadvertently pass it backwards despite selecting a player that's ahead of you. The shooting feels more bland that what it did even a couple of years ago on the current gen FIFA. Back then you could really lamp the ball at goal and the ball itself would move at a realistic pace and find the areas where you were aiming it. The ball physics were fluid and realistic. In this version; the ball seems to just float or glide and even if your player looks like he's absolutely belted the ball by putting his foot right through it; the end result is usually the ball just drifting to goal. It's exactly the same as FIFA 13's shooting and just as restricted in terms of aiming and animations. The general ball physics in this one are terrible to say the least on top all around the pitch and it leaves for a sour taste of what football really is. The mechanics of the Ignite engine allow for some farcical and nonsensical moments of physically impossible passes, tackles and shots which really distance this series of moving towards a proper simulation. The more animations and tweaks they make to Ignite; the more problems that are created with even more collisions of players and generally bizarre play. Your players also collide with their own more than ever now and if both your players go for the same ball; both lose possession and the opponents can easily swipe the ball. Even your own players will block your own shots and get in the way and there is absolutely no intelligence on display in respect to the AI on your team. As the single player v the AI is out the window thanks to intolerable AI; the MP portion is good thanks to a wealth of features and the fact in your knowledge; no matter how good your real life opponent is at the game; he will fall victim to the persistent shit that plagues FIFA 16 and you both will be left with a seemingly RNG-based algorithm of pure garbage throughout the match. The game seems to punish good players to accommodate the bad ones by allowing so many issues where even someone who has 75% possession can still get beaten 1-0 because the other guy had a bit of rare good luck. It's even easier at times to score from 30 yards than it is to score from 3 and this is just one example of how the game can screw you through no fault of your own. The presentation has been beefed thankfully but it's still not a patch on games like NBA 2K and MLB The Show which stand head and shoulders above sports games like FIFA in presentation and authenticity. FIFA 16 feels more like FIFA 13 and I'm absolutely shocked that EA are going backwards whilst making no progress in taking the game forwards aside from a few features that are fare outweighed by persistent bullshit that make this the worst possible football 'simulation'. This is a bit of a messy rant but hopefully you'll get the gist

Is coming back http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2016/robot-wars-returns

Some great runs there https://www.youtube.com/user/gamesdonequick/videos

What a shame Absolutely iconic legend of the music industry

I'm bloody buzzing! Been on it since 9.30am Incredible game and sensational performance - we looked like a Premiership team out there today and it could have been a lot more than 3-2. Shelvey gave up in the end and their defence got torn to pieces throughout. Just got to fend off transfer offers this month though and I wouldn't have accepted any less than £1m for Kemar Roofe before the game and I wouldn't accept any less than £3m tonight Great goals in the game too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnbLwVX763Y

Just finished my first and possibly only play-through in around 55 hours of being in-game and reaching level 40. Got 34/50 achievements and sided with the in the end. I did stress myself of what faction to commit to and I did a lot of thinking until my brain hurt but each one is has benefits and drawbacks to the extent you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. I thought the final few missions were excellent though and have saved games backed-up which allow me to jump into each faction to complete their respective finale also. I don't think I want to do another run anytime soon although it was an excellent game for the most part. Still have a few loose ends to tie up and achievements to earn on my main file but will certainly look to explore each ending as well.

Preston Garvey:- ''I've got something new for you to do - it's a bit different''.... ...same mission as the last one.

Nice to see this being 'remastered' for March this year. Played this through on my mates PS3 and thought it was a truly unique and unforgettable experience. Not the sort of game you play through more than once but I may make an exception as that was over 5 years ago. Anyone who missed out should definitely pick this up when it's out. If anyone is also looking for something similar; Life Is Strange is an excellent alternative.

What games is everyone looking forward to this year? I'm going for American Truck Simulator, Rise Of The Tomb Raider, X-Com 2, The Division, Doom, Escape From Tarkov, Firewatch, Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Dishonored 2 and Mirrors Edge Catalyst. There are a few more that will grab me but those games are pretty much cemented in terms of a release date. Rise Of The Tomb Raider has already been excellently received on XB1 which is great news but shitty exclusivity as ever. Still not entirely sold on The Division but we'll see in the beta this month but it should be a decent year and plenty to look forward to in the next few months alone. E3 will no doubt bring plenty more along the way.

Another video which surprisingly hasn't been taken down. View it while you can

Happy New Year all!

I've never seen such a lopsided fire like that! Glad nobody was seriously hurt or killed and it'll be interesting to see how it occurred and why it spread that way. I thought funky new buildings like that were almost invincible towards such things with so much high tech features so it's not something you see too often like that.

Have you tried it on Google Chrome or Firefox Tommy? Also after you type in 'search' press enter - I'll write that in the OP as that could be the problem

Open up Steam to your browser; NOT the client and login. Then go to the Ikaruga store page here http://store.steampowered.com/app/253750 On that page; just type in 'search' - not with the commas or in any text box or web address; just type it in on the webpage itself and then press enter. A box should appear and in there type 1v7531. You'll be awarded the Red Herring badge and 100xp

One to watch next year for sure - a nice mix of S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Fallout

Sale is a bit turd-like. No flash sales means that the discounts you see on offer now will persist through the sale and not improve. Also most of the deals have been seen so many times previous and if you didn't get games back then; you probably wont get them now either. No unique deals but pissing around with the discovery queues lands 3 trading cards a day so that's about the only reasonable thing. I've picked up Mount and Blade Warband and Gabriel Knight in the sale plus Squad which is a £30 alpha That's me done and my wallet safe at least!

Agree! FIFA has dominated PES for the last 7 or so years and has turned into a powerhouse whilst PES went the other way but finally Konami have turned it around as FIFA seems to be going stale and not making the strides it once was. Seems EA are just content with minor additions and few improvements each year which allows them to sell copies and milk the UT aspect still. Konami have certainly had to work hard but with the new Fox engine; they are moving in the right direction and have a good future foundation as long as the publishers don't pull the plug of videogames and focus on mobile. Hopefully this will give FIFA a welcome kick up the arse so EA will have no choice but to actually put some effort in - apart from the Ignite texture and animation engine; they're still using the same base engine from 2003 and this is where they can come unstuck whilst PES has a brand new bit of kit with Fox. It's just a travesty that the licence and general presentation is so lacking as the gameplay is close to the quality it used to be back in the day. Both games are way off the likes of MLB and NBA 2K in terms of authenticity and with all the money FIFA has made; that's where the standard should be right now which it is nowhere near. PES has become king again for sure!

Pretty good!

Blatter and Platini banned for 8 years http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35144652 Wonder if the FA still supports Platini as the new head of FIFA
