Not sure, as I understand it, they are both owned by the same Company or shareholders or whatever. But are separate companies. Although from what I can find through google there's people suggesting they do, and some suggesting they don't, so I could be wrong.

Warrington is a fairly large town centre so we're quite lucky to have a couple, but I'll bet there are plenty that just have Game and Gamestation or just game. Hasn't the Trafford Centre only got two Game stores?
Grainger Games is the shop facing Scoop, where GameXchange used to be, GameXchange is now on Bridge street. I suppose CEX isn't a proper gaming shop, more of a cash converters than a game shop, but they do sell a lot of games.
IMO, gaming specific shops will begin to fade out, with supermarkets and places like Currys and HMV, they will either broaden their range (things like iPads, gaming PCs, etc) or they will become extinct.

Really enjoying FIFA Street, not sure what the verdict is across the internet, but I've had loads of fun playing it. Scored some really cool goals, but I imagine there are some people that are already crazy good with the skill, I'm just trying to learn the basics for now but it is a pleasant change from FIFA 12.

It is fun isn't it. I'm utterly terrible at it though but some of the things I've done accidentally have looked awesome.

Commerical suicide by the looks of things. Game was struggling and now it isn't going to be selling the first Triple A title of the year or no EA games in the future. The biggest game of the year in terms of sales is Fifa, this is basically like a cinema refusing to show the next Twilight film.

Think it will be the last in the main series unless they do any spin offs after etc. In Embers Ezio only taught Jun stuff about being an assassin and she doesn't end up an ancestor of Desmonds.
In AC3 the new character is called Conner. Sounds good though with the stuff that will be in it. Been in production for 3 years now!
