Demon Souls.. too difficult but a good game

It's really not that hard. You just have to grind for a short while against the first few skeletons on 4:1

It actually gets much easier as you play through it. There was only one boss battle I found a challenge and I'm not great at games

I'm currently playing a game at the moment which I've already completed god knows how many times and keep going back to it. I don't care if it got bad reviews, I don't care how buggy it is, I don't care if it appears on the "worst games ever" list, I think Alpha Protocol is absolutely bloody fantastic. The concept is superb and I wish someone would pick it up for a sequel or do something similar.

Nigh on perfection? No, it just means it's an outstanding game. Can you even name one game that can hold a candle to it? I'm struggling, it's a fantastic series.

Mass Effect 1 and 2 are both infinitely better games and stories. The older Final Fantasy games, Fable and Skyrim are all better games off the top of my head. ME3 is a 6-7/10 at the most - only 1 great mission and a lot of poor, repetitive, linear gameplay.

NFL 2k5 is easily the best sports game made and is nigh on perfect still despite being 7 years old.

Of course it means it's perfect. By giving something 10/10 it means there's no possible way it could improve. Outstanding games get a 9, thus indicating that they are brilliant games but not without their flaws. I would give ME3 a 9/10 for this reason.

Of course this is always going to be down to the opinion of the reviewer. I could name a list as long as my arm of games that I enjoyed more than ME3, but again it's just personal opinion.

I've completed that. Enjoyed it. Recently finished Deus Ex too, which, did exactly what AP did, only 10 times better, Give it a go if you like AP, mate.

Been meaning to Give Deus Ex a go for a while, it looks like a good game.

also seen a gameplay trailer for rugby league live 2. it actually looks decent. certainly a lot smoother and more flowing than the previous efforts. looking forward to it a lot more now. I played a lot of the union game "rugby challenge" which I think shares a lot of things with this game going of the footage.

Rubbish. I've completed ME 1 & 2 and neither are the pinnacle of gaming. A generous review would be 8/10

I'd give them both 7

Something like Demon's Souls makes them both look average at best

I know I'm very late to the party, but I've just finished playing ME2 for the first time over the weekend. It's a 9 at least.

All Mass Effects, like Halo are dull affairs. They offer nothing in terms of replay factor, which Borderlands, Fallout, Skyrim have.

Borderlands 2 is excellent.

I'll probably play ME2 again. But in all honesty, even if I don't, I've clocked up over 73 hours. That's more than enough not to criticise it on the grounds of replay value IMO.

Cheers mate, think I may just give that a go!

Loving fifa 13. The career mode has really improved with little things like having scores and table positions read out to you ala soccer saturday. The commentary refers to Wigan as a rugby league town aswell which will drive the hard core latics fans crazy

Gameplay overall seems better and where in older versions you just knew that a team was going to score that feeling seems to have disappeared. Shooting from outside the box is harder as shots get blocked a lot more aswell as the keeper being harder to beat. However I've scored countless goals already just from deflections from the keeper. Scoring headers from corners and crosses also seems a bit easier. The commentary now also includes Geoff Shreeves giving injury updates and announcing scores from other matches in play which is a nice touch.

Theres also some great skill games to help train you up and earn points so that you can buy unlockable items a bit similar to fifa street.

It's not often I say this with Fifa releases but this year round I actually think there's been enough changes to warrant buying it. instead of it being almost the same with just different rosters. at this point last year I was fuming about fifa 12 but this year things seem very different!
