| Decided to try the euro cup DLC for fifa. I applaud them for making it a dlc but it is absolutely awful. The passing and movement is just so crap, players falling over each other.

| Max Payne 3 is the best game i have played for a very long while - i loved the first two games and this is a very nice addition to the previous games, it has a great retro feel to it and is as dark as ever.
The one liners are just tremendous.
9/10

| Been loving ploughing through Trials Evolution. What an utterly superb game engine it has. Utterly brilliant.
Finding it a lot easier this time around. I suppose that's because I didn't have the learning curve that I had with Trials HD, but I'm getting through some 'hard' courses with no faults first time and only having to revisit to improve the time. Not tried extreme yet though I'll admit.

| Just started Max Payne 3. Best. Production. Ever.
It's like a walking movie though, for me, the casual gamer, this is no bad thing. I am thoroughly enjoying the experience of it. They have got Max's character well, although I am missing the dark comic book strips from the first 2.

| I only get time to do an hour at a time on Max Payne, and I have just played through 'bad day at the office' (The Sau Paulo football stadium level). One of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I've ever had. Level design is excellent, and sorry to bang on about the production of it but it's epic.

Could never really get into Max Payne 1, that was like 10 years ago though so make take a punt at the new one!

My only gripe (and its a minor one) is why oh why do games have to include the usual shooting from the back of a speed boat section?!
Its like they feel they need to break up the game with these crappy shooting sections.
Other than this so far its been brilliant.

| Anyone getting the new Ghost Recon? I loved the old ones. Different to normal shooters in that you can't get riddled with bullets and survive. A couple of bullets and your dead. Wonder if its the same with this one?

| It is just me that feels like Max Payne is one long cut scene spelled with a bit of game play?
The level of production is superb and the game play is good when you're at it. But it is just annoying watching a cut scene for 8 minutes before playing for 5.

Yep, I've got it. Currently playing through the campaign in 4 player co-op with a few mates and it's really good fun. The emphasis is on stealth, using camo to sneak amongst guards and then use a 'sync shot' technique to take out multiple guys at the same time.
A lot of missions are an instant fail if you get spotted, but it's a good laugh if playing with mates and someone keeps making a mistake
The game probably wouldn't be much fun on your own, but if you know a few people you can play through co-op with then I would definitely recommend it.

Have you played Metal Gear solid 4? Each cut scene is between 20-90 mins. I'm sure the last cut scene is nearly 2 hours long.
I've just finished the first act on MP3, and its brilliantly done, as has become the norm with Rockstar games. I started it on hard and its a lot harder than any rockstar game I've played in a while.

| E3 starts next week, should be tons of new info for us to take in.
For anyone interested, the Microsoft conference will be streamed live at 5:30pm uk time on Monday with several other streams following after that. For anyone mental/hardcore enough to do it, the Sony stream is set to start at 2am uk time Tuesday morning
Check the obvious sites for live streams (Gamespot, IGN, Gametrailers etc.)

| The length of cut scene gripe is a fair one and one that some gamers were obviously going to object to. As i said, for me, the casual gamer, I think it's excellent. It's almost a little reward for completing each bit. The story is gripping, which is honestly the first time I've thought that about a video game. (P.S. Heavy Rain? Any good?).
I'm in the slums of Sau Poalo now with a shaven head and a bad taste shirt. Playing it on easy (as I say, no time to get too challenged by it!) and finding it quite easy to plough through the numerous baddies that are coming at me.) The set piece scenes (my favourite on the New Jersey level) with the bullet time are also superbly done.
I can see the game becoming samey after a while, hope there's another boss coming up, only one of those to speak of so far that I can remember.

| MP3 is great - the dialogue is superb and the gameplay flows very well.
RE: the cutscenes, you can skip them after they've "loaded" but then you don't really feel as immersed as you do after watching them.
And I agree about the sameyness, although I'm on chapter XI (I think, the bit with the run-down hotel anyway) and I still feel compelled to finish the story so it's not lost its edge on me yet. Can't see me picking it up again after completing the story though.

If they make a 'proper' console Pokemon game, I'll get one.

| I hope Microsoft show us a next gen console, Wii U doesn't count.
Just think December 2013, Xbox 3, Fifa 14 Next Gen, Full HD
Got a feeling that their conference will be Gears of War and Halo 4 and another Forza, maybe a show steal with GTA V Exclusive DLC (I doubt this game will be at E3).
Sony will just do Vita stuff I imagine, maybe a few surprises. I'm ready for a new console though.

| A new console won't help the lack of quality gaming from developers. I'm not bored of my PS3; I'm bored of playing CoD8, FF13 and all the other sequels. I keep on saying, consoles could do with a high quality MMO game, something that can take the community by storm, but devs are too happy to churn out the same old stuff.

| I'd like to say I'm enjoying Max Payne 3 but it's doing my head in tbh. Don't know when your in a cut scene or playing and even on easy I'm finding it a bit difficult, Only upto chapter 3 and already at a point where I'm ending up dead quite a lot with not enough health to get anywhere and no ammo to do anything. never really played any of the older Max Payne games so maybe I just don't get it, but so far it is just frustrating the hell out of me.

I'd invest in a couple of pads if I were you because there're some bits later on in the game that are very annoying.

| Wow, anyone after a new game to look forward to should go and check out Watch_Dogs, a game just shown off by Ubisoft. It looks really, really good.

Look good that. Don't think they've confirmed that they will be making it though.
The new Tomb Raider looks very goo as well.
