But MW2 was sh*t, as is MW3.

Of course

Does anybody else play Battlefield 3 on the Xbox? On mine, I've gotten to a certain point and it cuts off from the EA servers every time. I have downloaded the multiplayer update but can't continue my campaign, anybody got any ideas what I can do?

Completed Gears of War 3 tonight after getting it for Christmas. Just utterly brilliant, love the game. Perfect shooting mechanics for me. I don't see how you improve a game like that. There were some truly jaw dropping moments, bodies flying everywhere, bullets shaving your ears, blood splatter. It's just great. The story in campaign mode also went okay I thought, although I thought Griffin was going to make a reappearance after threatening Marcus like he did. I'll admit I screamed 'Nooooo' and almost cried when one of the characters died.

If ever a game was perfect film material, Gears is it. Just make it a dumb action film, fill it with explosions and have the Cole train. How could it go wrong?

You have seen Doom, Far Cry or Max Payne right?

But they didn't have the Cole train. "Whooo!".

It'd be enormous.

Which film was made about Far cry?

Anyone have much experience with trading in games or just selling them in general. I think it's time for a clean out as I have loads of games just sitting there never being played. I've had some friends just bring bag fulls down to game and sell them but I'd assume this isn't the best way to do it as they seem to promote trading in for instore credit which I wouldn't really want. So anyone have any advice for the best way to get a fair amount for games?

I generally use eBay unless there is another game I want, in which case I trade it in.

You won't get a fair price from any shops unless they are new releases. I had a look at what I could get for a load of 360 & PS3 games about 6 months back and just didn't think it was worth it, games like Fable II, Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Bioshock, Forza 3, Gears 2 etc - all of which I had a ton of fun with and paid full price for were only valued at £1-£2.

Last time I had a big clear out was when the PS2 came out. I took a huge sack of PS1 and Gameboy games and sold them all for about 50-75p each, I ended up regretting it and buying all the best ones back a few years later for about £5 each off ebay.

It depends. If your looking to get another game anyway then CEX is always worth a look. They tell you online what you can get for your games either cash or as instore credit. If its a new game then you'll get a decentish price... but if its an older game that is quite common you'll get a few quid tops, although I use ebay aswell and the same applies there really. I always look at completed listings on ebay before putting games on there to see if its worth it or something that is selling easily.

Amazon Marketplace or Playtrade are good for that

Finished Uncharted 3...going to have to get 2 out again.

Always check CeX before selling a game. Gamestation will price match with CeX (providing you take proof - mobile phone internet or screen print). I think they're supposed to beat it by a £1, which isn't always the case - in my experience. This applies to cash or credit.

Just finished it yesterday myself, enjoyed it but not near as much as I enjoyed my first playthroughs of the first 2. Back on Skyward Sword now, think that will be finished within the next couple of days.

still hate fifa 12. either im crap at it, or it is an absolute git of a game. so hard to break defences down, even crap teams. can never get enough space to get a decent shot away, and, no matter where i aim, keepers always gather one on ones unless i have enough space behind him for the lob. professional is awful.

Skyrim, awesome game but Jesus wept. How many ing bugs are there? Really starting to taint my enjoyment of it.

I believe it was called Far Cry.



An Uwe Boll effort, which probably says everything you want to know.

The offsides are a joke too.

Playing as Newcastle, all my attackers were onside, split the defence with a through-ball from midfield, attackers had too much pace and got away from the back four, as keeper closed on my striker I layed it off to strike partner - called back for offside.

Hardly any? Unless you're unlucky enough to be playing it on a PS3

I agree 2 is better than 3, can't remember much of the first.

Why play it then? I sold mine after a couple of weeks...hated it.

It is hard, but I wouldn't say professional is awful. It's irritating the life out of me at times. But that's because you have to work to get goals, simply putting a through ball down the middle doesn't work all the time like it did in previous fifa's, you have to build up and pass the ball around a bit and keep hold of possession. Even if it means going backwards for a bit and starting again. I break through one on one quite a lot but if you don't time your shot right, aswell as having a good aim... then the keeper will save it. I'm in my second season now with Wigan Athletic and I'm upto level 11 in Career mode and it is now starting to get damn hard. I can dominate teams and see a keeper pull of miraculous saves out of nowhere and the opposition can have one shot all game or the cpu players will suddenly all become Ronaldo's .. and score and either win or steal a draw. It p1sses me off but tbh, its more realistic that way and a good challenge. After bad/infuriating experiences with fifa 11 online I've still not given this a go on live yet though.

Hardly any? You playing the same game as me? It's on the Xbox by the way.

I've got a staff I can't get rid of. It's part of a quest but the quest hasn't triggered because I somehow found the staff too early. It can be fixed by putting the staff on the weapon racks in my house but wait a minute, they are also bugged

Got 3 quests sitting in my list that I can't do because I again found one item too early. I can't buy a house in Markarth despite doing the quests required because the Jarls assistant talked to me when I didn't have the quests done. I'm lucky that it's only these small bugs that have effected me. I also accidentally wondered back into Sanguines little fantasy world. I don't recommend doing it as you can't get back out



I have a friend who's had the game corrupt 2 save files as well as having a load more quests glitch out on her.

I was the same as you with regards to online but try the head to head.

You start on league 10 and have 9 games to get a certain amount of points to get promoted. If promoted you can get relegated if you dont reach 7 points iirc. If your a 5 star team you play against a 5 star team, 4 star v 4 star etc. If people quit you get all 3 points.

Im on league 3 now and im just managing to stay up, theres some awesome players in the league, had some great games.

Im in my 6th season on career starting at Shef Wed, Swansea, Hannover, Palermo and now at Chelsea for the 2nd year running. Finished top last year but nothing to shout about in any of the cups. For breaking down the defence it depends alot on you formation imo. I play a 4-2-3-1 with Chelsea and Milan on line. As said you need to pass the ball alot and with having 2 holding players its alot easier to pick players up in good positions.
