Personally I don't pay much attention to any reviews from major commercial sites anymore. I always keep an eye out on what players in the field are giving games but I don't take too much notice of the overall scores. Some people get so enraged by a game beating another game by 0.1 and suddenly they hit Metacritic to downgrade the game they dislike just to make them feel better. PC Gamer is probably the only site/magazine that I have found fairly spot-on in recent years although they seem to have a hatred towards anything that comes from or is a part of the console community. They are pig-ignorant, arrogant elitists now but some of their reviews hit the nail on the head. With all this money floating about and review embargoes in place; I dunno if I trust the mainstream now. I can easily see the likes of Activision bunging a few quid just to edge that score up a bit. I also cast suspicions on some sites that promote certain games on a ridiculous level despite it being clearly shit and then awarding it a comical score. There's a game on PC called Gone Home which was raved upon by critics in a suspicious way and in the previews; they were all saying the same seemingly scripted shit. It was like a copy and paste from rival site to site. The game scored incredibly well despite costing £14.99 and lasting 56 minutes and NOT actually being a game in its own right. Everyone gave it ludicrous plaudits and high scores. Blatantly there was a bit of dime being pushed and people were reading from lines instead of giving an opinion. Too many sites have gamers by the balls now and IGN love shit-stirring the trolls as they make a hell of a cash for all the fanboy squabbling. I'd look to a few people on YouTube for half decent gameplay opinions. TotalBuscuit and Frankie are good but they're primarily PC tho.

I like looking at YouTube channels of gaming from people I know and nobody is attention seeking whores (not even Dylan) on here. It's the commercial cunts that I can't stand along with their 'like button' bashers. Also the celebrity culture swarming the tube now is unbearable. Not even seeing people have breakdowns in the comments section trying to battle a troll can raise a smile from me now. YouTube has been blighted by money now and the ease of uploading has just given birth to a wave of idiots that will do anything to be recognised. PewDiePie has another stupid video up on the homepage with 2m+ views. He'll rake it in thanks to minimal effort and his loyal button bashing fans will feed him the bucks before they've even watched the video. I used to love video-hopping back in the day and you'd always run into some unique vids but now it's just worn down by adverts and commercially-driven channels which are probably bankrolled by the far east 'slaves' who get paid to have multi-accounts to 'like' videos.

Well said. Sometimes I think I am not normal for not embracing the latest trends like so many but I just tell myself; 99% of people who promote themselves on YouTube or upload 'current' crap are just attention seeking twats with no real world prospects so they have to channel themselves somewhere. Anyone that bows down to them are probably cunts in need of a life or fresh air. I remember life without Facebook, Twatter and YouTube plus a load of other shitty sites with stupid names such as SnapChat, Instagram and Bingbang Dingdong and I'd do anything to go back to that. I've ditched quite a few friends who prefer to live their life online with their phone in their hand all the time. Thankfully I don't know any attention-seeking YouTubers; if I did, I piss on their keyboard and shit on their mouse.

I'll send my mates down for a sneak peek

I miss the old Stella days

I can safely say; Dylan does not drink this This I'm guessing

I dunno how many on here are familiar with Far Cry 3 but they made some pretty good real life vids also including the real badass baddie Vaas

Chelsea lose 3-1 and Real win 3-0. Pastore's last minute goal could prove pivotal. Chelsea need two without fail now at the bridge minimum.

Call of Juarez Gunslinger £4.07

PC version has been weathering the storm last couple of days and running pretty well on all the servers. It was a bit iffy on Naval Strike day one but so far, so good

Chelsea 1-1 now and Real are pretty much cruising at 2-0

Crack on with that one first! It'll make the other 49 seem really shit but Deus Ex is defo the one to get round to playing.

My PC is better.

Just done Conquest on Wave Breaker and that seemed like another good map. Much more water to navigate on in this map. The middle area consists of the key capping flags which can be a tasty battle. Gotta finally try Carrier Assault now on all of them. Overall I'd say Naval Strike is a pretty good map pack. It's not incredibly varied or original but it has the classic Battlefield feel along with fairly balanced and fun to play maps. Graphically they don't seem as sharp as some that we've seen but it's certainly better than China Rising. I really want to see some more snow maps in the next pack. Operation Locker looks great on the outside but most of us are too busy camping the fuck out of C. Frostbite 3 in snow I just wanna see more of.

What the hell happened to xJawz aka Sam? He went from this: to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdfSxwKWl4E

Best box art evaar

Valencia should have definitely gone. His challenge was probably a red card in itself. It happened a bit too quick but at first glance, even for me, it was reckless. I can't decide is Fellani had a good game or a complete stinker. He gave the ball away so much but other times he did some neat stuff. Still the Champions League is waaaayy out of his league. Best player tonight was Alex 'I can't believe it's not' Buttner.

Dead Island £4.99 or £9.99 for the complete collection
