  1. Ever since I started listening to a podcast from BBC Radio 4 and the BBC World Service entitled 'More or Less' presented by Tim Harford I ignore all these so called 'statistics'. This particular one was debunked for precisely the reasons that @Cube stated; that crime is labelled and recorded completely differently in different countries, and therefore is impossible to cross reference and compare each other.

     

    Enlighten yourself, open your mind and understand statistics, where they come from and how they are manipulated by all of the government parties, private companies, NGO's, etc., download this weekly and listen;

    The last episode has a fascinating insight into the fourth anniversary of the earthquake which devastated the city of L’Aquila in Italy and which led to the conviction of six scientists and an official who failed to predict the disaster. Good listening.

  2. I wasn't greeted with the Software update prompt either. Even non-ambassador applications like Letterbox & Colors 3D weren't prompted.

     

    What happened to it?

     

    I was prompted for Colours 3D, and the Letterbox update isn't rolling in the EU yet. But, some of the Ambassador stuff isn't for sale in the eShop, so I suppose that's why it doesn't prompt for it. Even though it should, I would have never had known to check if it wasn't for @Dcubed's enlightenment.

  3. Just bought this from Amazon for £17.68.. see what all the fuss is about (Never played a Batman Arkham game before). And the best thing is even when I've finished with it the Trade-in value is ~£14 so that £4 for the Game!

     

    Bargain!

     

    It really is amazing Phube. From soaring through the city on a timed run to answer a phone, fighting 15 thugs at a time (and when you get the combat) and being in control even though some have weapons, guns, shields, etc., to stealth take-downs in numerous different manners, and 'dungeons' (interiors of buildings) with their boss fights. Plus the sheer amount of side-quests that I just can't say no too. A truly Zelda meets Metroid game, with Batman as the main protagonist. I've settled into this recently and can't put it down, MH3U is on hold for the time being until this is finished.

  4. Bargain at this price.

     

    £12.85

     

    Highly recommend those on the fence giving it a try.

     

    True, picked this up at launch, and am still playing it to this day, and, also, am very far off of completing the Campaign mode, unlocking all the Tanks, etc.

     

    Awesome buy!

  5. Nice, 100 points for GoogleMaps & Tank Tank Tank, both of which were free to download. Awesome.

     

    Don't forget Zen Pinball 2, free to download 50 points thanks. And all those free ones on the 3DS like Kid Icarus.

     

    Up to 8500 points now and don't know what to get?

  6. Expected a bit more from the 2nd episode, but it seems to me to be a bit of the same as the first. Hi remember me from Season 2, here's my character development and story trajectory for this Season. Hey, what about me, remember me, too, I'm going to be doing this during the next 8 shows. Woo Hoo, it's me look what I'm about...

     

    Suppose there are a hell of a lot stories/characters to work through though.

  7. Finally, did the first Moga Village request, fixing the Base Camp by earning resources. Killed 10 Jaggi's with a bow, long range and close A swipes. Good fun. Spent about 2 hours collecting mushrooms, honey, Jaggi's, buying herbs, messing around with HUD on the GamePad. I like to see my Health and Stamina bars on the main screen, but everything else on the Gamepad. Then, found out how to combine items to make potions, etc. Got my first BBQ on the go, burnt the meat, after 3 go's I got a Well-done steak!!, but no more since, all rare.

     

    Wow, this game is good, but after 2 hours this morning, I have literally done fuck all. This game might well last me until the next generation. Still a bit too scared to go online yet. No armour or weapon upgrades yet, so I'll do a few more of those Village quests first.

     

    Next, I'm off to fetch some iron ore, to forge new weapons. Does you pouch get bigger in this game? Already I walk around and have to choose what to swap in and out of it.

  8. BUMP!

     

    Anybody still playing this? I finished the main game a long time ago, but still download the daily puzzles every day, and finish it before bed whilst drinking a coffee. Anyway, along comes the 160th puzzle, which happens to be a Ghouls and Guards puzzle (number 10), and completed it, all the ghosts and guards, with intermittent mirrors, lined up correctly, but the bloody puzzle doesn't recognise the last move and won't allow completion.

     

    That bloody annoys me, now I have 163 daily downloadable puzzles with just that one 1 unfinished, just about to email Level 5. Petty, but I do like to see completion.

  9. On the NintendoLife website this story of lateness is written up as a rumour, maybe an educated rumour, but it's still only speculation. Don't believe idle gossip until it's proven, beyond all doubt, fact, by the Big-N themselves. We play the waiting game in both scenarios.

     

    I'll probably download this if at a good price point, I enjoyed the first 2 games on a daily basis for well over a year each.

  10. Just started playing it this week, but can see this lasting a good long while. There is a hell of a lot of content in this game, from just cruising around and finding unlockables, to entering races, perfecting that elusive jump that @edza seems to do 2m more than mine all the time, and if you feel like it, collecting a lot of police heat and trying to escape, not to mention the online mode. BTW races can be easily and quickly entered by pulling up the easy drive menu and selected, you don't even have to drive to them if you don't want. Went online for the first time yesterday, and it worked well, drifting challenges, races, but had to leave the group early. Will try again today.

  11. @daftada Available to play right from the start, as well as later if you so wish. What I mean is, the catwoman DLC is part of the story from the start, you don't have to finish the game to unlock it, but you can only play the different parts of it as the story progresses, you can't play it all right away.

     

    Unlike the Harley Quinn DLC which you can complete before even starting the main game.

  12. Well, finished watching the Finale, and was very surprised to see that the Governor lived through it. But, on the plus he is showing his true colours with a nice psychopathic rampage on the unbelievers, haha.

    So, I can see Season 4 being about another assault on the prison, lots of newbies biting the dust, etc, etc.

    I was hoping they'd drag this story out more because of the multiple raids on the prison, and the inevitable loss of the building. Was expecting more people to die in this episode, that is other than the Woodbury residents.

     

     

    A little disappointed, but looking forward to the 4th Season.

  13. Hey, my copy arrived this afternoon, spent about 2 hours driving around and generally making a nuisance of myself. Grabbed a few extra cars, took part in online and offline races. I suck badly, but it's all exhilaratingly good fun.

     

    There is a sense of being overwhelmed at first, but that disappears after a few races and the controls start to settle in. I quite like the motion controls via the GamePad and Wiimote, probably 'cos I liked them on MK Wii.

     

    Going to have a lot of fun with this over the coming months.
