Such sad news,thank you all for a fantastic site,my goto for everything Xbox. Enjoyed & proud to have took part in the 2 Gameblast weekends to help you raise a fantastic amount of money for Special Effect. Was more of a reader & re-tweeter than a commenter but loved the articles and it wont be the same not seeing posts from PureXbox and the odd competition pop up on my feed. Great,honest reviews (active soccer 2 DX springs to mind @SuperKMx 😂) will be sorely missed. Thanks again guys,its been a bloody good time 👍🍻
Gob smacked! Was only playing the BETA the other week & looking forward to the final game. Even more shocking though is the closure of Lionhead itself, indeed Stylon, sad times.
Nice,EA Access were doing enough advertising through social media for MS last week anyway announcing it was playable first on Xbox One and one month codes were flying around the gaff 😊
I've got NOW tv and it works out cheaper than Sky to be honest. Entertainment,movies & sport = £48.99 I was paying £48 for the original package & sports on SKY. That's without movies and the multiroom rip off. I know you get less channels on NOW but the main ones are there,FOX,Sky One,Atlantic & all the box sets you could think of 👍
@SuperKMx nah it was a total hardware failure, getting a black screen, then green boot up then the E200 error code. Wouldn't even reboot to factory settings using the offline usb file. Spent a few hours trying to sort it with no luck, got in touch with MS support and they said it could be because of the NXOE program but couldn't be sure. It's winging it's way to MS now, console was only 10 months old too 😞
caused my console to have a hardware failure and is currently with MS for repair/replacement. Won't be opting into the NXOE on my new console that's for sure. Shame really because when it worked out was very slick and looks great. Will wait for full release this time.
@DRL Really wanted Jet Force Gemini to work but the lack of camera controls spoils it for me, at the minute my fave has been Battletoads Arcade too, looking forward to getting into Banjo then straight into Tooie, such fond memories of that series.
Great review Dave,sums it up perfectly. I finally got started yesterday and I played through a solid 10 hours, great looking back at titles I remember from back in my day. I picked this up for £17 in the UK,ridiculous price for what you get! The Video Docs are great too,wish there was a way of watching them all without the punchcard. Would like to see Starfox Adventures in the future but can't see it myself.
Amazing E3 & fantastic coverage from you guys as always,I've actually had the weekend off from playing Xbox and reading stories as I'm totally overdosed on everything gaming related 😊 Refreshed and raring to go again this evening though, it is fathers day after all 😜
Funnily enough I was just changing my avatar outfit yesterday on my windows phone & wondered when they'll actually be used on Xbox one. Good idea EternalDragonX, about time they used the scanning feature for other than QR codes
Still nothing about an extra game for me. Its probably a US exclusive as its suggested in original post. Not fussed as i own Ryse anyway,but would have been nice to include it in my Day One console that I'm selling.
I got a few hours on it on Friday,played 7 games & I love it....but nobody talks on there,the whole point in playing as a team is communication. Playing as the monster is more enjoyable,run,eat,evolve then attack the hunters Will be better playing with friends,really enjoyed playing it at EGX because everyone was communicating,come on people don't be shy,get them headsets out 👍
Great review! cant wait to get some proper game time with this! Just waiting on my postman to deliver it with my shiny white xbox one 👍 in the meantime I'm off for some Evolve .....so many great games coming out at the minute,loving it!!
@HEADESTROYER4 didn't realise it was out NOW!! Just played Frontier Defence,wow!! The game has changed so much since launch, other developers should take note, this is how a game should be supported. Just gutted I wont be able to get on it now till Monday,damn weekend away getting in the way of my gaming 😜 there's now 2000 achievements points in total too!
Read it earlier on Respawns blog, amazing!!! I love this game and the way they've continued support is fantastic. It just does my head in that people haven't given it a chance, especially mates of mine, it really is an amazing game that I personally never tire of playing, keep up the fantastic work Respawn!
@SuperKMx for me Paradise was & still is the best open world racer, those challenges were brilliant, especially the 8 player ones,happy days. Still got both of them on disc too 😊
@PeTitosaurus yeah,I'm a bit of a sucker for different console designs, just a shame the HDD wasn't upped to 1tb. Not keen on the CoD console,but ordered the controller,sucker for them too 😜 will definitely post up on here about it. I can't wait for the game myself,its very Jet Set Radio with guns & huge explosions
No gaming for me this weekend,an injury at work has put my right thumb out of action for about a week 😢 so a lot more reading about games than playing for me,also gives me chance to get through a few episodes of Sons of Anarchy 😜 happy gaming people 👍
Love the new maps, just a shame its all over now 😢 well as far as DLC is concerned anyway. I'll still be running n gunning through the game till Titanfall 2 gets released 😊
Great review for a great game,I'm yet to try it in coop but i can say the single player is just as addictive, found myself in one level for 40 minutes trying to get a skull 😃 it's free at the minute for GOLD subscribers, but I'd have gladly paid the asking price
@RonJMaclean what I played it was all about stealth I guess you could say, sneaking from one objection to another without being spotted by the alien. The trial & error being that when you should run or hide, personally I wouldn't get frustrated but it is very tense, also the demo only represents a small part of the game, so how the rest of the game pans out could be very different.
Run,hide,stay hidden,wait....run. Oh too late! Played the demo at EGX,talk about tense!! Definitely getting this,love having the crap scared out of me 👍 might go back for more today!!
I'm off to EuroGamer in London tomorrow & Sunday so first up I'll be playing Sunset Overdrive,Evolve, Shadow of Mordor,Evil Within & Battlefield Hardline to name but a few. Can't wait 😃🎮👍 have a cracking weekend everyone.
Nice to see a review based on playing the game for more than a couple of hours. Just about sums it up perfectly too 👍 I'm yet to reach the grinding past lvl 20,still on 17,enjoying the social side with my mates,but cant see us all still playing in 3 or 4 months....unless the expansions bring something amazingly different. Great review Dave 👍
@superKMx I liked the Forza demo,but wasn't impressed when I had to go through the unskippable (is that a word,lol) intro again when I tried to play it again. Anyway my playlist consists of Destiny,Titanfall,Fifa15 trial and might splash some cash on Flockers (£14.99 in Deals for GOLD,nice) & D4,which looks mad!
I got nothing but love for this game,just about to reach gen 8,really looking forward to these new maps,sadly the last ones. @PeTitosaurus it's been the only issue I've had too,been better the last couple of days though 👍 @Wpghipfan I agree!

Re: This Week's Deals With Gold Will Drive You Crazy
@Emanouel I like NFS Rivals,Forza Horizon 2 is a great open world racer too,just wish they had super jumps & challenges in like Paradise 😜

Both Burnout games were awesome! The hours I put into Paradise! Shame the baseball game is US only :-/
