Why would they release another? they have no direct competition with Activision and now they're free from Viacom. if anything they should be taking it easy with the releases.

I want to spend £40 to get 80 more songs.
And they never had any competition from Activision imo.

I don't know. I didn't look too far into it, but from what I saw, it didn't really catch my eye, so I'll probably be skipping it.

+105G from doing some Single Player on Ghost Recon. I was expecting just another game that focused too heavily on multiplayer but I must admit I'm having a blast playing though this.

I'm going through on Elite Difficulty and it us so easy it's insane. I haven't noticed any difficult parts at all. I saw myself take about 5 bullets to the back of the head from a heavy machine gun and didn't die. So it's not much of a challenge.

Looks like most of the achievements are multiplayer, which sucks because I can't be bothered to get a uPlay Passport of whatever, so I'll play it for a while and then send it back, see if I can squeeze anything out of that.

Not going to be at home this weekend, so I'll not get a chance to play anything.

Picked up Halo Wars, Arkham City GOTY and MK vs DC on the dope ass cheap yesterday, played through a bit of AC and holy balls it's fantastic. This will likely last me until Borderlands and Halo 4 come out later. Netted about...25g from it after about an hour or so of play.

It looks like we've fallen off the front page. Oh dear.

I've played very little this week. I've been to the beach, looking at new houses in Hull (does anyone live over there?) and generally being busy, I couldn't get much sleep last night, only managing to drop off around 5ish, then I woke up at around 3 and stayed in bed until 7PM, which is ridiculous, even for me. I played a little Arkham City earlier on today, it seems fun, and I like how it's free-roam as apposed to the more "linear" feel of Asylum.

I knew Lovefilm was sending me Catherine (AND STILL NOT SLEEPING DOGS WTF LOVEFILM WHY YOU HATIN'), I just assumed I didn't have it but just 10 minutes ago checked for mail and it appears its been here all day, as usually the sound of post being posted makes me get up in the morning, but I slept right through that.

I'm in the Xbox Fall Beta (again), IE is nice, but this is the Information Age, most people have a smartphone or a tablet for quickly going online, and to be honest they're a lot more convenient than using your left stick as a mouse and having to use the on screen keyboard. The Keyboard is actually a lot better, I mean, it's the best it's ever been. Guys... It's QWERTY. GUYS THE KEYBOARD IS FUCKING QWERTY HOLY SHIT HOW LONG DID THAT TAKE?! 6 YEARS?

damn, i flew through sleeping dogs. does anyone know how to get triad experience when you finish the game?

You gotta replay missions. You can get sets of clothes that give you bonus XP during missions. There's also some DLC you can download that gives you a bunch of Xp and it's cheap.

My Xbox keyboard has been qwerty since I got it...

Well shit.

Nearly done with Darksiders 2. Need to finish off the last mission however theres apparently a point of no return so i'm making sure i've done everything beforehand.

I'm guessing you unlock the final 25 rounds of the crucible by completing the story so i'll have to wait to do that until then. Managed to do all 75 rounds that i'd unlocked last night with relative ease apart from the demonic enemies near the late 60s.

Apparently there's an achievement for completing all 100 rounds in one sitting however i'm more scared of my xbox crashing (Since it did it 3 times during the arbiter's maze) than actually being killed.

(Yes, i'm playing on normal but that's because i dont have much patience. Go figure)

Played Gears 3 with my friend again today and got the two beast achievements for doing all the dlc maps. I really need to finish that game on insane at some point. Keep putting off doing that final Act.

thanks man. did you find it that your police xp went up way faster than your triad?

Yeah, for sure. I was around level 6 or 7 for Triad when I got to 10 for Police.

I think I got about 120G from Future Soldier. I'm really pleasantly surprised by the campaign. I'd be lying if I said I fully understood what was going on, but it's not a CoD 4 hour sort of thing. I'll usually finish a campaign in the first sitting, even on the hardest difficulty, and yet I've played this twice now and it doesn't seem to be drawing any conclusions, so I'm hoping I've got a bit longer to go yet.

It's also incredibly fun, the combat feels awesome and everything is so far above my expectations I had before playing it. Really having a blast playing it so I'd recommend it to anyone who likes shooting games really.

I have college starting now so I'll have much less xbox time but I'll probably end up finishing it tomorrow, and then I might move onto RAGE depending on how long it takes.

And now to finish Game of Thrones season 2, this is gonna be emotional.

So maybe I didn't get any achievements, but I got 117 trophies + a platinum. So there.

I'll get back to my Xbox when Borderlands 2 comes out.

Same, I haven't done fuck all except play CS:GO.

I want to try finish Resident Evil 4 on pro, but the island bit was so fucking lame I can't bring myself to.

I just completed Arkham City and was quite underwhelmed. The plot was so god damn boring, you get sent to Arkham and then you're running about trying to find a cure for your disease, and then in the last hour all the plot happens. And the ending, oh god, it gives almost no closure (maybe because you have no idea what is happening half the game), Dr Strange dies, Joker dies, Ra's dies. But what happens next? What happened to 2 face? Harley? Mr. Freeze? A load of bullshit unanswered questions (unless it's answered in DLC, in which case FUCK YOU ROCKSTEADY, you don't leave out plot and explain with DLC, you're supposed to add plot and lore with DLC).

I don't get all the praise and I'm a pretty solid Batman fan.

Yeah, i'll admit the plot is getting a bit silly.

I have all the DLC but i'm probably close to beating the game on my first way through. The plot is a bit thick with cramming characters all up in this bitch, but I think if they had just kept it to Two Face, Ra's, Freeze, and presumably Joker, it might have been more streamlined. The interface is kind of aggravating, but at least they made it harder for me to not go into the entire game using Detective Mode for shits and grins, but scanning locations is now just barely useless. I do enjoy the side quests involving some lesser known villains though. The entire bit with Penguin should've fallen in this part as well. Some of the ambient nods, such as finding the alley your parents were shot in, were dope as fuck though. I think something related to the Scarecrow hallucinations should've wormed their way in this, to add to the overall atmosphere.

I've noticed that Batman is a real dick to everyone is Arkham City.

Finally unlocked the M47 in Peace Walker, so I'll be getting 150g for S-ranking every mission soon, the rest should be gravy from there.

Can't believe I'm actually gonna 100% this game, and I don't even know why. Peace Walker isn't even fun.

Basically my experience with Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

with Torchlight 2 coming out in 2 weeks and Dota 2, I don't think I'll be touching my Xbox for a while, except maybe for RB Blitz.
There's just nothing exciting worth getting on consoles. ;__;

I'll probs get JSR HD on Steam

I can go on Reddit, various porn sites, all social networks, 4chan wasn't blocked for quite some time, but I can't go on Newgrounds. Well, I can't watch videos, play games, or post. I can view the forums though. So yep. Also my school says Newgrounds is a porn site. ALSO, I'll get JSR on Vita.

I ordered the Pro Drums kit for RB3 last week and it arrived today. I'm finding it fairly tricky to get used to, but it's really fun to play. Got 15g for doing the beginner lessons too.

Was it the official Mad Catz kit? If so have a fun month of having working cymbals.

The only think I found particularly difficult about going from Drums to Pro Drums was the fact that I occasionally missed the blue cymbal because it was higher up so I had to adjust to that, and also sometimes it got confusing going from cymbals to toms and back again in quick succession, though I picked it up easily enough.

It makes the drums so much more fun I think, sucks that the only Pro Kits worth getting are pretty expenisve.

I'm struggling to find an ION Kit with 3 cymbals, anybody know where I can get one for the UK?

Why do you people put so many hours into games you don't like. Why don't you just try a different game? Your ways displease me.

I got Catherine from Lovefilm and it's really quite enjoyable. I thought maybe the gameplay would change, but it hasn't, originally I thought it would get pretty stale pretty quick, but it's still really fun and challenging, and it's nice to see a game try something new, it's really really refreshing. I think it was on low priority too, because it had my interest, but I didn't feel like playing it for a long time. But I'm actually really glad I sent it. I'm a little annoyed at how I can send flirty texts to Catherine, and I can be a complete dick to Katherine (lets face it, Catherine < Katherine) yet the protagonist still acts like a whiny bitch. He's so distant from Katherine, I don't understand why he's sticking with her. Another minor annoyance, is how he feels he has to be committed to Katherine because she is SPOILER WARNING pregnant. If I was considering breaking up with someone pregnancy would not hold me back, let alone consider marriage like the protagonist is doing. SPOILER END

I just wish Lovefilm would send me Sleeping Dogs already.

Yeah it is sadly, but I have a 2 year warranty on the entire kit so I can get anything replaced at any time.

That's what exactly I'm having trouble with, but practice makes perfect. All of my current scores are laughably bad D:

I haven't searched myself, but do Rock Band Parts ship over here? I imagine that would be your best bet.
