I am a Microsoft gamer at heart. I have a substantial gaming PC and an Xbox 360 and I'm content with my library of 200+ games combining the two. I'm now looking to get a new console, freshen things up a bit, and currently have a preorder on a next-gen at my local retailer. I'm now very much...

The only 'console' I've ever bought for myself was the 3DS, but that was in November last year. I've had all GameBoy consoles (original, Pocket, Color, Advance, SP), MegaDrive, SNES, N64, PS1, PS2, and X360 but all of them have been gifts at least a year after launch. Even my newest console...

I was one of those people where back in my naivety of 2008 I was all for the Gears of War, boo to Halo! Looking back at it, I now think that while Halo isn't the most innovative of gaming experiences, it has a likeable if not beige character in the form of Master Chief, and an interesting...

Way back before I actually had a disposable income to buy better games, I had Kane & Lynch 2, completed it through on the hardest difficulty setting with the last mission being the most arduous, painful experience of my gaming life. That section alone took more than four hours to complete...it's...

From what I've seen since my original post it seems that the consensus around retailers and the internet is the same as Substriptism said, that the launch prices will be £54.99 for a while before lowering. I do remember Gears of War being £49.99 on release, I believe it was the same for a couple...

So we've already seen the ridiculous price differences between the next gen consoles in the UK and the US (I know we don't get it nearly as bad as Australia but my point still stands) however people seem to have glossed over the far bigger issue here. Here I'm taking Microsoft as the example...

Please don't ask for penalties by disrespecting the site, staff or mod team. We're here to help you. You're making us into what you fear by blatantly saying that. If you hadn't, no one would take issue with you.

it's that nobody how opinionated you are, there's always somebody worse.

A room with nothing but a Dreamcast which you had to play while listening to Tinie Tempah on loop.

As a gamer who ran guilds and clans and the age of 15, I have to say that I don't generalise and find that all under-16s or under-18s are inherently bad for a community. However it tends to be that often youngers gamers have more of an incentive to troll, or are just generally bad...

Mass Effect 2 Pre-Owned for £8 ($12.85). And hell yes! One of the finest games I've played through in a long while. I decided to play the series as I've become more loaded with positive review after positive review. And for anyone in the position I was in a couple of months ago...play the Mass...

I've watched all of the Zero Punctuation episodes, some more than once, but haven't got all the badges. Is this a time delay or would I have to watch them all again for it to now count?

Ratchet and Clank coming to Xbox would be awesome, just for the nostalgia. If not, a new Baldur's Gate game would be seen very gratefully, given it would be better than the disaster that was Dragon Age 2.

My point seems to have digressed in the comments. My argument wasn't that because of PSN going down, we should be compensated, I now realise the PSN involvement was merely coincidence. It's simply that I don't believe that £40/year justifies the benefits we get. DLCs are still in a few cases...

So with the news that Sony are offering free games as a return on the PSN being down for almost a month, Xbox owners are now feeling slightly cheated. And understandably, in some respects. Xbox Live has so far remained a study network, but you'd expect it to at an annual cost of around £40. And...
