  @Matthewg1974 you got there first, I was going Deadpool too. Also when was the Punisher created? Reply +1

  I don't miss instruction books, I just wish they'd bottle the smell and release it as an air freshener. Reply +6

• Gran Turismo 6 is official, boasts 1200 cars

• Paulie_P 16/05/2013

  @frazzl the F1 cars aren't products for sale though. Maybe the developers of Forza and GRID try to see what they can get away with. Reply +1

• Paulie_P 16/05/2013

  @Bluetooth it's due to licensing issues. Car manufacturers don't want their cars to be shown damaged. It's also why you don't see cars flip in games like these. Reply 0

  @JinTypeNoir thanks! That's just the amount of info you need when looking into these games. Reply 0

• Paulie_P 09/05/2013

  That's all well and good but will there be a review?
  
  I find it hard to make purchases on the 3DS shop as the games rarely get reviewed on EG, same with some of the PSN games. Is there no chance of bringing back the round ups? Reply +9

  To be expected but sigh. Reply +4

• EA acquires Star Wars video game license

• Paulie_P 07/05/2013

  @FireMonkey people accepted Steam because the games on it were reasonably priced, even when new. Then on top of that, they started offering ridiculously good sales. Something which EA spoke out against.
  
  Take a look at the prices of titles on Origin. It's not change people are against, it's change for the worse we complain about. Reply +1

  Like others, I loved the first one but with EA involved in this, I'm going to have to pass. Reply +1

  I want to sue Nintendo. In early screenshots of Mario Kart 64, Kamek appeared as one of the racers but when I bought it, he was nowhere to be found.
  
  Not only that but to my recollection, he has not appeared in any version of Mario Kart since. I want justice!!!! Reply +3

• Soul Sacrifice review

• Paulie_P 30/04/2013

  I love my Vita but was disappointed when I played the demo of this game. I thought it was repetitive and I hated that book.
  
  Still got loads to play on my vita, as others have said I think Gravity Rush is a killer app for it. Nobody is going to agree on any one game for a system.

• Microsoft to unveil its upcoming console on 21st May

• Paulie_P 24/04/2013

  I've made my decision already. I don't believe the worst rumours will be true.
  
  Though I've become less happy with the 360 as this current generation has gone on. I can no longer get every system so sorry no Xbox for me.
  
  Nonetheless, I'll still be interested to hear what they're planning. Reply +39

• Corpse Party: Blood Drive announced for Vita

• Paulie_P 24/04/2013

  @easter I love the first one, at the same time I would be hesitant to recommend it to other people. It's quirky and there's a lot of back-tracking and instadeaths followed by long cutscenes.
  
  I can forgive those flaws but could see them pissing off most people. Reply 0

  @vert1go goldeneye on the n64 did not have regenerating health. Trust me, I got burned on many attempts of the cave level on 00 difficulty. Reply +3

• Paulie_P 20/04/2013

  I'm not sure I agree wholly with the article. With Sim City and Diablo III, you had no choice but to play the game online.
  
  With Dark Souls and Journey, they had online experiences which did enhance those games but if you lost Internet connection (which even happens with a high speed broadband connection) you could still play those games offline.
  
  I also didn't mind the Far Cry 3 example, to me the leader board challenges were just something else to do on the map. Reply +12

• EA shuts down "older" Facebook games The Sims Social, SimCity Social and Pet Society

• Paulie_P 15/04/2013

  Are they closing them down because EA are trying to consolidate their free-to-play to a standard?
  
  Just curious, will EA be allowed to sell in-app purchases between now and the server switch-off? Reply 0

• After children rack up huge bills, UK government announces investigation into "aggressive" in-app purchases

• Paulie_P 12/04/2013

  My baby daughter had my gfs phone the other day for a minute while she was getting dressed and purchased an in-app purchase for £2.99.
  
  Once we realised, I told my gf to switch off in-app purchases. Thing is, I only knew about being able to switch them off by reading previous comments threads on this site.
  
  Some very jusgemental comments. Fact is not everyone is as tech savvy as people on here and parents can't watch their kids 24/7. My 6 year old daughter likes playing on my iPhone when we're driving somewhere. is it a crime to want her entertained while I'm trying to concentrate on the road? Reply +34

• Wii U Aliens: Colonial Marines misses launch window, is it still alive?

• Paulie_P 08/04/2013

  @Rogueywon I'm the same, I bought Mugen Souls as well. I remember it being hard to find reviews for it and the Hyperdimension Neptunia games but I bought it anyway and I just hated the moe-kill system, it seemed a bit random. I don't know if it was down to the translation. Reply 0

• Paulie_P 04/04/2013

  @Rogueywon mugen souls definitely deserves a spot there, wasn't it similar to hyperdimension neptunia though? - didn't you learn your lesson? Reply -1

• Peter Moore weighs in on EA being voted the 'worst company in America" for the second year in a row

• Paulie_P 08/04/2013

  Don't forget you need to sign up to origin to get any customer support from EA, even if you bought the game on 360 or PS3.
  
  Peter Moore knows all these facts full well but we live in a world were many people read the headline statement and don't look into the background surrounding it and he's taking full advantage of that here. Reply +1

• Paulie_P 06/04/2013

  I can't believe this, EA have provided me with hours of entertainment, especially in the past year. I didn't even have to sign into this Oregan thing everybody keeps mentioning.
  
  When I'm in work, all I need is to go to the eurogamer site and read these comment sections. I can't wait to see the fruits of their partnership with Microsoft. Reply -5

  Don't you see it's not DRM, it's Digital Management of Rights (DMR). They're completely different. Reply +6

• Microsoft creative director dismisses "drama" around always-online consoles

  What depresses me is that if MS do implemented this, they'll get away with it and the masses will still buy the next Xbox. Reply +6

• The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct review

• Paulie_P 03/04/2013

  I think Dead iSland is a marmite kinda game. I tried it recently and didn't like it but at the same time I could see why people would get into it. Definitely try before you buy if possible.
  
  Also while we're on the subject, did anyone think the background stories for each of the characters on the select screen were very overblown? Not saying they're bad but they went into some detail! Reply 0
