Just played FIFA '13. Couldn't find the tagline on the packaging, must have been hidden. But I believe it goes something like:

FIFA '13 - New Year, Same S****.

Just played a bit of halo 4.

First impression's are a bit iffy tbh. Not get very far into the campaign at all yet but everything just seem's too different. Just downloading the multiplayer files from live so I'll see how that goes.

Anybody played the Okami HD yet? Never played the original but always wished I did. Is it worth the money?

If you're seriously thinking about buying it, then read some reviews of the game. I played the original on the PS2 and I really enjoyed it - one of the best games on the console actually. Plus it's absolutely massive, like 40 hours plus. Plenty of value for money.

Have succumbed to buying XBox for my brood this Xmas and was looking for some suggestions of suitable, age appropriate games. 12 y/o boy will be laughing but we have 6 and 7 y/o girls too - what kind of range of games can we expect for the girls and do you have any recommendations? Cheers ears!

can anyone help me with this, my lad wants a laptop and pvr for xmas but thats costing way to much so could i run a pvr of a netbook?
I dont know anything about pvr's and was just wondering if a netbook would support the running of one.
When you record stuff does it save to the pvr or your netbook (he is wanting to record cod live games).

A netbook couldn't do it pal. Video rendering requires a lot of processing power and a good graphics card. You'd be better off looking towards a desktop if your budget's tight. I'm pretty sure AverMedia make a PVR that doesn't need to record directly to a computer, i.e. it will save to a hard drive connected to it without any computer being involved; however, you'll still need a good computer to edit the videos which I imagine he'll have to do. I imagine he's going to commentate on these videos and put them on YouTube?

You can get gaming laptops these days that are just as cheap as desktops, as long as you avoid high street shops and Dell.

For a scrub that isn't really interested in a gaming laptop/PC, but would be if I could find a really cheap one. Show us some of these please, sir.

So what's everyones thoughts on Black Ops 2 then? Multiplayer I can't get enough of but hoping for some bigger maps out as I've taken a liking to sniping.
The campaign on the other hand, I'm not so sure of as I can't seem to figure out what the story is actually about? I've played about 5 minutes of the Zombie mode, so can't really comment on that.

I'm same, don't know what's really happening in the campaign so barely played beyond mission 3, and as for those strike force missions....??? Multiplayer is a bit hit and miss for me so far but I like the league play mode and party game mode.
