A year possibly a bit more late i know, but Deus Ex Human Revolution is a must-play, particularly if you like your Metal Gear/Splinter Cell type of games.

I played that for about half an hour and found it too boring. Give me a game like God of War or Darksiders over a game like that.

Does anyone know if there is an age restriction on EA Sports Season Ticket? Can't find any mention of it on any of the websites. Yet my son (aged 11) can't find it to buy on his XBOX. He plays FIFA12 and is allowed to buy packs for Ultimate Team, which is what he wants the Season Ticket for to get free packs plus discounts for FIFA13.

Anyone know?

I think it used to be 13 to be honest. I've set my kids up with adult accounts and trust them to behave appropriately (They've been warned) simply because of things like this. They are tons of games without age restrictions that have age restrictions built into them, which destroy the functionality.

The way to test it is to see if his account can play online with his Ultimate Team or not.

Anyone use a wireless connection for XBL? I'm moving and I think I'm going to have to revert to using a wireless connection but having always had a wired connection I just wondered how reliable wireless is.

Yes, as I said he has being playing Ultimate Team fine with FIFA12 and FIFA11 before that. But as you say, maybe there is a restriction on the Season Ticket.

We use wireless with our XBOX and it works fine. You may have to fiddle with a few router settings though if you have any problems. If you do, just search online and you'll find guidance on what to do.

The setup was easy enough for mine. I don't have the official wireless adaptor from microsoft as I found one cheaper in Argos, but you just clip it into the back of your xbox and search for wireless connections and it's then no different to connecting with a laptop for the first time. It came with full instructions on how to change the settings if needed as well.

I see the reviews are starting to come in for this years football games. FIFA13's are stellar of course, every one I've read is a 9/9.5 sort of score, with a Metacritic score of 91 currently. PES 13 has surprised me, reviewing a level or two down on most sites, usually around an 8/8.5 but getting an equal score from a couple for a Metacritic score of 83 so far.

Does that include reviews from IGN whom EA pay and do favours for in return for good reviews? (They gave Mass Effect 3 a 10, for example).
