I wouldn't want the NX having too many different controls like the WiiU has, i'd be happy with a Pro controller-type pad. Something simple that people can get to grips with.

Could be a possible DDOS attack, or Sony are doing emergency maintenance seeing as it was recently reported the PS4 was hacked.

Running on BT Infinity, get about 29Mbps download with 9.5/10Mbps upload via a wired connection (we get upto 60Mbps download and 20Mbps upload, so that's not too bad). Downstairs next to the router, the speeds increase by 5Mbps on both upload and download. Had to invest in a new router/modem to achieve said speeds, on BT's own routers we were lucky to get 15Mbps on a wired connection, wireless dropped out all the time. Used to be on 6-8Mbps with 1Mbps upload, which was fine for online gaming. Couldn't go on YouTube or stream any video content whilst gaming. That was before BT offered an upgrade to Infinity for free, so that wasn't too bad.

Popped in to see this yesterday, i enjoyed it. To me though, it wasn't as good as the original trilogy but was a lot better than the prequel trilogy. Only had a few niggles, which were

Some of the games i'm looking forward to next year. Mass Effect: Andromeda Rise of the Tomb Raider (When it comes on PS4 in November next year) Horizon Zero Dawn Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Yooka-Laylee - I backed it, looking forward to it. Far Cry Primal. Looks decent, nice setting.

Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini banned from Football for 8 years

Just finished Tearaway Unfolded. Overall, not too bad. Have to admit, it did lose some of the shine of the original game. But none the less, it was a great game. Felt new in many places, even though it was the same story as the Vita edition.

America wants to bomb Agrabah

Probably find, like last year, most of us will get additional days. I know i got 4 extra days Plus because of the downtime last time, so probably expect the same. Still, the hackers think this is for the good and believe they are doing good. But as it's been said, they are basically ruining Christmas for some people.

Heh, if they take down PSN for a week then it won't phase me. Got quite a few offline games to play, namely Witcher 3 anyway.

@Hero\-of\-Time, many thanks for the PSN Profile card

Probably, corrected.

Indeed, it's pretty sad that a game as beautiful as Tearaway has not sold as well as i thought it would. Sony should have advertised it for PS4, it's a perfect game for the younger gamers to get into. Not saying it's a system seller, but this and Little Big Planet will keep a few busy over the holidays Would have done wonders on the WiiU/3DS as well mind. Decided to pick my play up again and finish it off this week, last check i was 18% through. So still a way to go, but it's such a nice game.

Played quite a bit last week, but put this on hold for another week as i really want to get another game complete Roach killed me on ride through to open some fast travel points, damn horse got caught on a wall and i got wiped clean by an enemy. Damn horse.

I'm in Also, i'll be curious if the other league will continue to run alongside, or if that will close.

It certainly has been a great year for gaming, my top 10 games for this year are as The Witcher 3 The Order 1886 Bloodborne Yoshi's Wooly World Batman: Arkham Knight Assassin's Creed: Syndicate Journey Metal Gear Solid V Destiny: The Taken King Grim Fandango

Going to miss out sorry, the WiiU is deciding it doesn't like to read disks. More so, it doesn't like Mario Kart for some reason. Don't ask.

Should be OK, trains permitted

It's probably exactly that, but he's at it again. Following on from his latest project which i dub "Watch me watch my movies", he's taking calls at Liverpool Fact Gallery where you can try to "Touch his Soul" Yeah, honestly

Buy One, get one free deal on the EU PSN.

We've had new phones installed in work. Apparently, they are easier to use. They would be, if they worked. Mine hasn't worked for 3 days now, got no dial tone, can't log in to the group to receive calls or anything. Doesn't phase me too much, last few weeks i (seemingly) was the only person receiving calls, so this break is welcome. Had 3 managers come over today to check if my phone is working, would have thought after the 1st manager whom checked would have told the others, but it seems they don't believe my phone is broke. It's getting annoying now as I've got a case which will take me most of the day to do, but them checking hourly means I can't do anything until they go. Got a 4th person checking now as I write this, wish they'd clear off now. It's annoying me now, wish they'd get the message

The Sparrow racing is a nice little addition, had a few races last night. However, it does need a few more courses as all i was playing on for the most part was the same Venus course over and over. I did get a Mars race in, and cleared the bounty on that. Also, the bounties are bugged as i had 7 races yesterday, only 2 of which my Sparrow was destroyed and yet the bounty for completing races without destroying the Sparrow didn't trigger as "complete"

It's a great game to appear on a Nintendo console, if they utilise the WiiU Gamepad it will be great. However, it really should have arrived months, if not years ago. It's not going to save the WiiU in terms of major increased sales (and to be fair, are any of us expecting that to occur).
