    Been a great few weeks for games recently.


    How about the new Zelda game coming out this coming Sunday? Damn I'm pumped. I grew up with the Zelda franchise. Still remember going to my babysitters when I was like 5 or 6 and playing the NES Zelda (the first one). Been a fan since then, can't wait for it.

    Other than that, I'll be getting Skyrim after I'm done Zelda. Can't wait to play it. Battlefield 3 to me was a step down from Bad Company 2, at least in terms of the online gameplay. It seems like all everyone wnats to do online in BF3 is hop into a helicopter or a tank and drive around for the duration of each match. Bad Company 2 had a lot more strategy involved methinks. It felt more like squads worked together to win the game, where as this one everyone just runs around trying to get kills and get into vehicles. Campaign was alright though.

    Boring.
  2. Just finished Uncharted 3. Meh

    I've heard that Battlefield 3's multiplayer is supposed to be a lot better than MW3 but when I heard about the vehicles etc I imagined it being like COD on a permanent killstreak.

    Yeah it was somewhat like that.

    A guy at work just participated in a beta weekend for The Old Republic (for those of you who don't know, it's basically World Of Warcraft crossed with Star Wars - more specifically with Knights Of The Old Republic) - he said it was unreal. Can't wait to try it. Just hope my computer can run it (This is the problem with PC gaming!)

  6. Anyone know how to fix the E74 failure on Xbox 360? This happened 10 months ago, and my guarantee ran out at the time, so I would've had to pay to fix it. So I have been Xbox-less for that amount of time. I tried to fix it tonight - which required 2 hours of trying to do so - but no result.

    Try this

    I'm on my phone now so can't offer much assistance until the morning

    EDIT: Or try this
  8. Cheers Tim, I'll check it out.

    I did try the 'coins' trick. I put ten pence in electric tape, and put it on top of a chip that is apparently one of the main causes of E74

    That is SICK. I have bought half of the Christmas presents already


  10. I heard Portal 2 was something like £6.50 - brilliant game if you don't already have it.
