How long have hand balls be on FIFA? I was losing to Fulham in the league cup in a rainy evening game. The pitch was like treacle and I couldn't break them down at all.

I was also getting majorly wound up by Tyldsley's commentary and his pronunciation of Drenthe and Jones, which were in a totally different key to the rest of his commentary.

But in the last minute I just had a shot from about 30 yards. One of the Fulham defenders stuck out an arm when trying to block it and I got a pen. It looked really good, the Fulham players went crazy.

Crysis 1 available on Xbox live for £14.99.

Also the battlefield 3 beta is a shambles on the 360. If you want it, get it for PC.

I doubt most people will have the money for a PC that will run that better than an Xbox.

You have to turn them on in the settings. You can have them off completely, on (except penalties), or just on. It certainly comes in handy when you can't break a team down - just put loads of crosses into the box and they are bound to handball it some time.

Still not as difficult as Goldeneye N64 -The Cradle on hardest setting

Never tried it but I thought games and AI had moved on from never ending spawning enemies and trigger points. SOG on Black Ops veteran is as cheap and nasty as gaming gets. Pop out of cover for less than 1 sec, dead. You even get killed in a cutscene you have no control over.

Amazingly, no.

Got told in a lecture last year (Games Programming at the time) that a company developed a revolutionary AI system for a game where the AI adapted to your strengths, and attacked your weaknesses on higher settings. They released this to the beta testers and it was widely panned. When they just made their health reduce less and attacks do more, the testers decided it was fantastic.

It can be done a lot cheaper these days. Still slightly more than buying a console mind. Got myself a nice little motherboard and cpu/ram bundle for £300 quid a few months ago, recycled a few old pc parts and it performs really well! played fifa 12 on the xbox and pc and was shocked at how little difference there actually was! Only the odd game however that I think is more suited to a pc than a console.

So who's getting Dark Souls then?
My copy was dispatched yesterday, so with a bit of luck it might be waiting for me when I get home from work today. If not, then certainly Thursday (which is when I was expecting it to arrive originally).

The game has been generating some really impressive review scores, despite it being one of the hardest games (if not THE hardest) this generation of gaming has ever seen.

Bring it on!

Probably not me. The reviews do sound great but the overriding conclusion is that you won't enjoy playing it.

If I was off work for 6 months I might give it a go.

Dont know what it is about Fifa 12 but I really dont like it.

Cant put my finger on it but im not enjoying it this year. Might have to sell it to fund Forza 4.
