  Icke's diet consists of shrooms for breakfast, shrooms for lunch and shrooms for dinner. Not to mention for his snack and supper too. Reply +2

• FIFA 13 Ultimate Team uproar: exploit allowed some people abundant access to stars

• polaris70 20/09/2012

  Ah thanks for replies. Just found this that explains everything and gives tips for people like me. It's from last year but it still explains the concept.

  I've had Fifa 11 but I still have no idea what Fifa ultimate team is. Can someone be kind and explain, and yes I am a bit thick. Reply 0

• Season pass confirmed for Forza Horizon

• polaris70 19/09/2012

  I think EA and Dice were a bit naughty releasing BF3 goty edition last Friday. I bought it because I've just got a new xbox. But I can imagine the players who bought Premium only a few months ago will feel ripped off. I have no problems with them releasing a goty edition, but it should really have been after the last DLC is released next spring. Reply -1

• UK chart: Sleeping Dogs puts down Tekken Tag Tournament 2

• polaris70 17/09/2012

  The new Battlefield 3: Premium pack, which includes access to the game's DLC as and when its available, hit the chart in 39th place

  Thats not bad, considering it only came out on Friday. I got mine from Blockbuster at £40 squid. Reply 0

• Obsidian's new RPG likely a Kickstarter project

• polaris70 13/09/2012

  I'd bet all my Betfair bank on it being an RPG based on the "Wheel of Time" series of books. Reply +1

• UK iPhone 5 prices start at £529

• polaris70 13/09/2012

  My phone is one of those cheap Samsungs that I bought from tesco for £30 on pay as you go. 3 years later it still makes phone calls, sends texts and wakes me up in the morning. Like a boss. Reply +13

• iPhone 5 revealed, runs "console quality games"

• polaris70 13/09/2012

  It amazes me that people moan if a console is released over £250, but will happily pay £400+ for a small rectangle that fits in your pocket. Mad. Reply +7

• Resident Evil 6 £899 Leather Jacket Edition confirmed for Europe

  Hmm a leather jacket or a 10 night all-inclusive Caribbean cruise? Choices, I just don't know what to do. Reply +3

  The maps may be a bit lonely if you are playing conquest on console, but they are fine if you are playing Rush. Reply +6

• A conversation with EA's Peter Moore on the thorny issues of DLC, Online Passes and all the rest of it

• polaris70 23/08/2012

  You guys can hate on Peter Moore all you want. But let's face it, he's a scouser, he doesn't give a shit, his skin is two feet thick. I actually like the guy. Reply -3

• Battlefield and Call of Duty: the great frames per second debate

• polaris70 21/08/2012

  They are both different games and you can't really compare which is best because it's subjective. All I will say is when I play BF3, lining up a strafing run on a tank in my A10, I don't suddenly stop and think "oh damn, this is only 30fps". I blow the fucker up. Reply 0

• Latter-half of Tomb Raider to be less bleak, set up franchise future

• polaris70 16/08/2012

  Improve the combat please but have less of it. Lots more exploring, platforming and a lot more puzzles. Puzzles like in TR4, some of them were rock hard. Reply +1

• Medal of Honor: represent your nation online for the first time

• polaris70 14/08/2012

  How are we supposed to kill the Frenchies? As soon as they spawn they'll be legging it to the edge of the map looking for glitches to escape. Reply -1

• Codemasters responds to criticism about loss of in-car view in Grid 2

• polaris70 08/08/2012

  It's a shame as I was looking forward to this. I enjoyed GRID, especially online. With a heavy heart I will look elsewhere for my next racer. For the 95% it'll probably be a great game. Reply +1

• Grid 2 Preview: No Assists Please, We're British

• polaris70 08/08/2012

  Oh why ditch the in-car view. Looks like codies have made my mind up, I'll be getting Forza horizon. In-car view with a wheel is how I play my racers, so I guess I'm one of the 5% Reply +5

• F1 2012 Preview: Title Challenge

• polaris70 06/08/2012

  I played F1 2010 and the single-player was ok. The thrill from these games comes in multiplayer and joining a multiplayer racing league like ARL, that's how I get the most out of any racing game. I only use single-player for practice and getting to know a circuit.
  
  Here is a link to a racing league if anyone is interested-

• Snazzy VR headset takes to Kickstarter with the Oculus Rift

• polaris70 01/08/2012

  One of these patented to one of the consoles would be an instant win in the console war. That's if it works as well as it seems too mind, and the retail version is a reasonable price. Reply 0

  That's kinda depressing.
  Am I the only Brit who was deeply embarrassed by that bloody awful giant school play we put on for the opening?

  You probably are. The green and pleasant fields turning into satanic mills was amazing, and putting the NHS at the centre of the show was inspired. Should remind the grubby money-grabbing Tories to keep their theiving hands of our NHS! Reply +9

• Irrational Games job ad lists 85+ Metacritic score as a requirement

• polaris70 27/07/2012

  Mirror's Edge was the first first-person game were I felt I had complete control over my character. By the end of getting the 3 star time-trials (geez, some of those were hard - remember hard developers?) I could do anything with Jade. To think a game like this would not be made in the future because of review aggregates makes me sad. Reply +3

• Microsoft shuts down Microsoft Flight development

• polaris70 26/07/2012

  FSX with Rex and Gex, plus scenery like AntarcticaX is still getting used on my PC. And will be for years. I hope Microsoft go back to making proper flight sims but I doubt it. Reply +3
