No doubt we have some gamers on here albeit not sure how many. Thought it might be helpful to have a thread dedicated to games reviews, particularly in the build up to Christmas with so many new games coming out.
Actually loving this Swansea save. Highlights so far have been a 1-0 win away to City, a 1-0 win at home to Chelsea and a 7-4 win from 3-0 down vs Sheffield Wednesday.
Originally posted by Dutchie Been having a good crack at FIFA 13 just recently, and I set up a career with my beloved Leverkusen. I'm into the third season and already built a formidable team, with potential to be much better.
RDM - Lars Bender - 86
LDM - Stefan Reinartz - 80
RM - Sidney Sam - 83
LM - Alan Dzagoev - 87
CAM - Renato Augusto - 85
ST - Stevan Jovetic - 88
The only real weak link in my team is Reinartz, so I'm looking for a new DM to replace him. Hopefully I'll find someone from within, in other words a youth player.
I've now left Leverkusen, but here was the glorious team I had before I left.
My Swansea game crashed after my first season Started again, but used the 'pick a team for me' option. Got Hull and won the Championship on my first attempt. Currently 8th in the Premier League after 5 games.
Yup. Its nasty killing those whales in a fictitious story set 300 years ago. But its OK to leap of a building and plunge a hidden dagger into the neck of a passer by and walk off incognito.
Actually got high hopes for AC 4 after the grind fest shite that was AC 3. It sounds like Ubisoft have listened to the community and put in an interesting charismatic lead like Ezio and dumped boring Connor.

Far Cry 3 - very good, but gets a bit grindey after a while. Lovely detailed huge world and crazy NPC dialogue
7/10
Xcom - Enemy Unknown - great blend of strategy and turn based squad shooter, good replayability factor, one of my games of last year - 9/10
Max Payne 3 - a bit of a departure from the original games from 10 years ago, but still a fantastic film noir inspired story, the shooting mechanics took a while to get used to, but with a bit of practise no problem. Max was a great character, gritty, grumpy, cynical but with a heart. Fantastic soundtrack by LA electro rock band HEALTH. Really enjoyed it in the end
8/10
Bought 3 games at the weekend as I work my way through my back catalogue, Dishonoured, Hitman Absolution and Spec Ops the Line.

Originally posted by Mycroft Interesting. Someone got this for me for xmas and I barely took it out of the box. Not mad on turn based games.
Its really good, quite gripping. It can seem hard at first as its very unforgiving, but well worthy of having a go. The turn based combat is one of the best things about it, but its more about strategy and tactics more than anything.
Open it up and give it a couple of hours, think you'll enjoy it.

Football Manager 13 - Started up with Spurs, got third in the league in first season, only signed Holtby and Isco in first season, went out of cups pretty early which allowed us to focus on UCL qualification, which we did pretty comfortably in the end. Second season, got rid of a few players including Defoe to free up some funds to sign Suarez, cheaper than usual because ... Liverpool got relegated Also signed Radu. In about November 2013 now and 6th in the league (4 points off top) and 5 games into group-stage, with Bayern/Shakhtar/Spartak () but on 9 points and just need a point in last game vs Spartak to go through as group-winners !

If you like playing on the harder modes and online tournaments like me, then its excellent. If you want to play a lot of the courses though you have to pay extra to download them, so that sucks a bit. Its a lot more realistic this year in terms of shot setup and shot mechanics.

Now pondering over an offer from Luton for my services, how fickle football management can be
