• Ace Attorney 5 will be an eShop-only offering

• Dave_McCoy 14/05/2013

  Almost time to buy that 3DS then. A new Ace Attorney game will be mine. Reply +9

• This is the LA Noire blooper reel

• Dave_McCoy 05/02/2013

  I really enjoyed LA Noire despite the dodgy ending. The earlier cases were great and the mo cap was excellent. Obviously the facial tech was so good it made the bodies look dodgy bit I still enjoyed it. This blooper reel reminds me of the good times I had with the game. Reply 0

• Microsoft continues Xbox 360 free-to-play experiments with new Full House Poker game

• Dave_McCoy 16/01/2013

  Agreed on the 1vs100. Used to love getting a few mates in a party on a Saturday night and seeing how far we'd get. I was the One as well once. Won 5000 MS points...one of the few nights I could hear the host too. It was brilliant. Reply +6

• Blockbuster UK to enter administration, will honour gift cards and trade-in credit

• Dave_McCoy 16/01/2013

  Rented the new DmC from Blockbusters yesterday. Have to what happens, shame for the staff though. One bloke in my local is really friendly and always helpful, I'd feel bad for him if they close the store. Reply 0

• The Walking Dead dev offers season pass to those with 4GB Xbox 360 issues

• Dave_McCoy 10/01/2013

  That's good of them but what if you'd already bought the first season to find it stuttering? I suppose you could give it to a friend. Reply +4

• UK tabloids single out Call of Duty, Dynasty Warriors in coverage of Sandy Hook school massacre

• Dave_McCoy 18/12/2012

  What I'm finding more annoying is the fact The Cun has decided to dub this tragedy 'America's Dunblane'.
  
  Why relate it to Scotland when you have plenty to pick from in America? It's not as if it's the first time it's happened. Columbine 2, or V Tech Part Deux? Better yet, just don't tenuously relate it to anything. It's horrible in it's own right. Can't stand sensationalising articles just to sell papers. Reply +5

• Microsoft looking into Halo 4 Crimson Map Pack issue for season pass holders

• Dave_McCoy 10/12/2012

  I expect I'll have to redownload all my pre-order bonuses and the Map Pass like I do every Monday as well for them to show up.
  
  Or, they could have fixed the issue..but probably not. Reply +3

• Halo 4's Spartan Ops campaign will resume in January

• Dave_McCoy 08/12/2012

  I think saying it's 'longer' than ODST is a bit wrong. Padding out enemy waves in the same 5-6 maps just make it longer in time, not content.
  
  Playing the same firefight maps in Reach 6 or 7 times at 20 mins each would be 'longer' than ODST...or Halo 1/2/3/4. Reply +10

• Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney gets a Japanese launch trailer

• Dave_McCoy 30/11/2012

  This game, along with Phoenix Wright 5, would secure a 3DS sale for me.
  
  So please Capcom/Level 5, bring it west. :) Reply +1

• Some Halo 4 players unable to connect to servers, 343 investigating

• Dave_McCoy 29/11/2012

  They've been investigating for 4 days now. I haven't been able to connect since Monday afternoon. Hoping tonight, when I get home from work, it may be sorted. Reply +3

• Grand Theft Auto 5 to feature three protagonists

• Dave_McCoy 08/11/2012

  Still no female protagonist then? I'd have thought they'd have tried it by now. Reply +13

• Xbox Music strikes a chord tomorrow alongside Xbox Live update

• Dave_McCoy 15/10/2012

  I could use Xbox music and pay for it...or I could continue using Last.FM which is still on my Xbox for free. Reply +2

• Forza Horizon demo live now

• Dave_McCoy 09/10/2012

  Fantastic demo. It's Forza with some soul. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Forza 4 but it's all very clinical. This is fun...Mustang V Mustang..genius.
  
  If this is just a small sample of what to expect, we'll done Playground Games. Your game is awesome. Reply +7

• Dave_McCoy 09/10/2012

  @Malek86 I've always found the Gold get demos first restriction a bit odd. Surely the point of a demo is to make you want the game? Why would MS want you to wait a week to try it? It'd potentially hurt day 1 sales. Some demos come out less then a week before release. Reply +14

• Nintendo adds more full retail games to the 3DS eShop

• Dave_McCoy 05/10/2012

  @eviroboy Mine also died. It was one of the early Wii models where the fan wouldn't stay on when the network card was still running while on standby. It fried my GPU and when I sent it back to Ninty they promptly lost it for 5 weeks.
  
  When I phoned they went "Oh! We wondered who's machine that was. We'll get it back to you asap". When they sent it, they actually hadn't bothered fixing it...so I gave up. Weirdly, I didn't miss it..apart from the £180 it cost to buy. Reply 0

• Batman: Arkham City GOTY Edition delayed until 2nd November in UK

• Dave_McCoy 19/09/2012

  @dogmanstaruk I'm waiting for the GOTY edition too. Sure, it's about £19ish now but it won't be that price if I add all the DLC too.
  
  Gah, Nov...I can wait a little longer. Reply +3

• Microsoft's Summer of Arcade 2012 posts uninspiring sales

• Dave_McCoy 08/09/2012

  @darkmorgado Matt Hazzard I'll give you. But American Nightmare seems pretty good. Virtua Fighter and I Am Alive both seemed to review ok as well. Ok...that's only 3 of them. There's still a fair few good original games coming out for XBLA, I don't think it's done by any measure.. Just SoA was a bit rubbish. Reply 0

• Dave_McCoy 08/09/2012

  @darkmorgado I think a couple of the HD remakes you pointed out are a bit off. Rock Band Blitz, American Nightmare and I Am Alive aren't remakes. I Am Alive started life as a full price title as I'm sure you know. American Nightmare has quite high values for an XBLA game and Rock Band Blitz is pretty good value even if you see it as just a track pack for Rock Band 3. Not sure if Matt Hazzard is a remake either. Virtua Fighter 5 is pretty much like a Super Streetfighter 4 type of thing. Castlevania:HOD isn't a remake..the list goes on. ;) Reply +1

• Phoenix Wright to return in Ace Attorney 5

• Dave_McCoy 05/09/2012

  Damn you! This is probably the tipping point, I need to buy a 3DS now. I suppose it was enivitable. :) Reply +2

• Eurogamer welcomes Outside Xbox to the family

• Dave_McCoy 15/08/2012

  Good news. Nice to see Andy carrying on and Jane was pretty good on her brief stint on Inside Xbox. Your loss MS! Reply +16

• Big and juicy new Tomb Raider screenshots

• Dave_McCoy 15/08/2012

  Of course there's QTEs, we've seen them. But how many people, who are claiming zero gameplay, have actually had a go at this game? Perhaps the QTEs are just every so often in a scripted scene to move the narrative. In between that there could be plenty of puzzle solving, climbing etc. I'm going to reserve judgement until we see more. Uncharted had it's moments when you were heavily directed but everyone loves that, myself included.
  
  I think it looks quite good and I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Reply +2

• Silent Hill HD Collection patch canned for Xbox 360

• Dave_McCoy 09/08/2012

  That's ok Konami, I was going to buy your game when you fixed it. Since you decided not to, I've decided not to give you my money. Reply +17

  Woot! I was just playing this the other day and thinking how it sorely missed online play. Great news. Reply +1

• Guardian Heroes dev's brawler Code of Princess likely to see a European release

• Dave_McCoy 07/07/2012

  That looks *very* much like a new Guardian Heroes. Please don't make me buy a 3DS to play this. With this and a Phoenix Wright game on the horizon I might have to though. Reply +1
