Looks pretty decent and kinda like the classic COD games. It's only on the old gen and PC but it does look good fun. Better than COD Ghosts anyway

Black Ops 2 seems to be buzzing and more people are playing the MP in that than Ghosts. I don't think we've ever had a COD where more people have gone back to the old one for such a prolonged period of time. I can see why Treyarch have rejuvenated the game and why they've r£l£a$ed content on there also. Just wish they did some new maps instead of camo and crap.

I stuck with them for the story and the cinematics mostly. I found the gameplay far too linear and bog-standard though. Didn't think they justified the praise overall although they aren't bad titles by any means. If a game is lacking in the gameplay department for me; regardless of the rest, that's a bit of a put-off for my taste.

I've just read this game has joined the long list of titles being delayed until 2015 Although it works out best for games in the long run; the only thing I will have on the PS4 in the coming months is dust. I'd rather have that over Knack though

I played the Uncharted trilogy when I borrowed my mates PS3 and I must admit, just like Halo, it's one of the most overrated games I have ever played. The story and cinematics were good but the gameplay was so fucking bland and boring I don't know how it was so popular. TLOU although I haven't played that; looked much more polished in all areas and if U4 plays like that; then the torture of completing the first three was all worth it.

West Ham won the World Cup in 1966 and I wonder if Southampton will do it in 2014

I think Southampton could be in deep shit next year. Lambert gone, Lallana going, Shaw likely to go and now Gaston Ramirez possibly off to Torino. The only one who isn't off at this present time is Jay Rodriguez as he's got a broken leg. Oh and they don't have a manager! Kinda feel sorry for them as they have a fantastic bunch of players and now they're on the verge of losing the lot in just a few weeks.

I thought Favela was reinstated in MW2 after they removed all the 'offensive' shit that wasn't discovered until 4 fucking years after release? Has anyone else noticed that some of the core maps in Ghosts now look pretty good compared to most of the crap in the DLC? Stonehaven, Siege, Chasm and Stormfront all maybe total wank but at least they don't have any childish novelties incliuded in the field orders.

I finished the main story last night in the end. Bit gutted that it unfolded so quickly and that there is considerably less missions in the last 3 acts than in the first two. I'm only 33% through the game though from the progression wheel and I've checked in more detail what is required to complete Watch Dogs 100% and I still think there is 30+ hours left in the game which is good. I wont spoil the ending but the one thing I will say; this game is primed for a sequel. Watch Dogs was an incredibly hyped game and just like Titanfall; it didn't quite deliver on release as hoped but is still a fantastic game nevertheless. The driving aspect was initially an issue but the more you play; the more accustomed you become to its mechanics. The controls and interface were incredibly well designed and easy to get in to. I found Chicago to be a real joy to explore with some stunning visuals and lighting effects. It may not have been on par with the E3 demo back in 2012 even on the top end PC's today but from the weather effects to the time of day feel; it is one of the best looking games on console these days. The campaign's narrative was pretty stylish and current. The overall premise has been seen countless times in movies and games but the way it was told and unfolded was fresh and interesting with the hacking and general modern online element. The characters were pretty intriguing and well written although there perhaps wasn't enough depth or drama in a few of them however you could really sense who people were and if they could be trusted. There perhaps wasn't enough diversity between missions though and the stealth elements were very inconsistent. Sometimes you'd be able to complete a mission on the quiet and other times you'd have no choice but to go loud. Some tasks were just too easy to wipe everyone out even without alerting the shoddy AI to the countless bodies around them. This wasn't a very satisfying way to complete missions and the few that I managed to do completely undetected were very rewarding although there wasn't enough in-game reward for doing it this way. I don't think there was any missions within the 5 acts that really stood out as being memorable although there were none that I really despised. The insta-fail ones did irritate at times and the fact you could escape cops too easily by darting into water was a huge discrepancy when sometimes you'd get into a long and tedious car chase with them bouncing off other cars and scenery whilst trying to utilise the hacks around the city to stop them. Overall, Watch Dogs is a superbly presented game and a very good one indeed. Sometimes it feels repetitive and even bland when not focused on the main campaign but there is tens of hours of great gameplay here to enjoy. It may not be the killer game we were expecting but with the distinct lack of games on the gen so far; I don't think we can be too picky. It's nice to have a break from the typical COD, BF, Assassins Creed and all the usual annual franchises that are becoming tiring and predictable. This is a unique game with a fresh IP and despite its problems; they are definitely work overlooking for the overall experience here.

Frank Lampard leaving Chelsea then. Will probably go to QPR, America or retire. Was hoping he'd come to Oxford but we already have too many fat twats in the team.

I actually thought I was pacing it quite well; I did think I was only halfway through the game and then suddenly everything gets concluded very rapidly and the narrative then feels rushed. If I do finish it within the next couple of days, I'm just gonna either do it again on the hard setting or mess about with the side mission portion of the game. Either way; Watch Dogs still has plenty of action left for me but from Act II onwards; the game suddenly unfolds too quickly I found.

An alter-ego of Simon Brodkin who's a comedian better known as Lee Nelson as Rich mentioned. He can be pretty funny sometimes He's also posed as a Man City player and as Lee Nelson; got arrested for stealing his own DVD!

Here it is. Be nice to go back to the Favela but it's not worth paying the premium as the other maps look shit and I don't play Extinction.

The first game had potential but the execution was beyond lousy. Very short single player campaign and a ropey multiplayer with bad mechanics and boring gameplay. They also made the fatal mistake of trying to compete with MW3 and BF3 so the game was gone and forgotten very quickly indeed. The Revolution looks much better and you'll be guaranteed a decent engine by Crytek but I can see this getting buried by Advanced Warfare.

I fear I'm rapidly coming to the end of Watch Dogs already. Granted; I haven't done much of the side mission parts of the game but I am a bit disgruntled in the overall pacing as the game progresses. There were about 25 missions in the first two acts with but 3 acts remaining but then the game seems to be accelerating to its conclusion. The missions continue to be a bit samey and there doesn't seem to be a scale of difficulty as the game heats up. Dare I say; the latter parts feel rushed. I've had the game for 6 days and I haven't really had any major sessions so my initial prediction that this would take 40 hours to complete seems way above the mark. I don't know how much time I've put in but this game doesn't feel long or have much substance as it progresses. I don't know whether to string out what is left or get it over and done with and then piss about. Just like GTA though; perhaps when it's done, I'm done also.

Will probably be in the shadow of AW but I am expecting a better showing from this than the original. Looks decent as most Crytek games do but let's hope for some substance to the gameplay this time around.

Jason Bent sent home from the England team Well we ain't gonna win fuck all without him. Better than Rooney

Philbottle from here has it according to my Steam. The mechanics look pretty good as does the concept despite not being very original these days. I may pick this up when the public beta is in full flow as apparently you can't save your game on the current build. Once you quit; you have to start again. There is another one called The Stomping Land which is a survival game with Dinosaurs that I'm interested in but is a little more expensive. I'm pretty cautious with early access titles but I definitely may take a punt on The Forest in a fortnight.

If anyone was watching the England game and they heard the biggest cheer of the night when the paper plane hit the defender; this is is it! Pretty amazing but for your average football fan; that would be a 5 year ban
