  FIFA @ gameplay is out of stock. Not too surprising given the price. Reply 0

• Where does my money go?

• tannerd 10/01/2011

  VAT on a £40 game is £6
  
  34 * 1.175 = 39.95
  39.95 - 34 = 5.95

  I'm not sure Rolando counts as independent (which you would think would be a requirement for the IGF).
  
  Monopoly certainly isn't. Reply 0

  There's a bug where if you are slow connecting to the server, and you miss the starting cutscene, you can't get the acheivement.
  
  I'd have all 4 acheivements by now if it was stable enough to not crash every time I play (usually around an hour in, which is exceedingly annoying). Reply 0

  It's a bit early to declare a winner, isn't it?
  
  The Matrix has just come out on HDDVD. Not on BR yet though.
  
  Imagine if LotR came out as HDDVD exclusive, or Star Wars...

  And whilst you're at it, maybe check some US wii games to see if region locking is enabled? Reply 0

  Don't suppose you fancy testing Freeloader and 1 or 2 US games, do you?

• UK Charts: Liberty City Stories holds off Mario

• tannerd 04/07/2006

  three new games entered the top ten this week - New Super Mario Bros at number two, of course, but also Ubisoft's Over G Fighters (which is being published on behalf of Taito) at number 13, while THQ's PC title Titan Quest enters at number 25
  
  A top 10 that goes all the way to 25! Next you'll be telling me that you can buy bread that has been pre-cut into individual pieces! Reply 0

• Next Call of Duty not for PC

• tannerd 05/05/2006

  How many consumer PC's do you know of with 3 or more cores? If you expect developers to actually take advantage of the new consoles, you've got to expect the PC ports to fall by the wayside. Reply 0

• UK Charts: Ten weeks at the top for EA

• tannerd 14/02/2006

  Not a good game, or just one you didn't enjoy? Reply 0

• tannerd 14/02/2006

  Have you actually played it properly, or are you just subscribing to the EA stereotype?
  
  I thought it was quite good, and I wouldn't normally touch a NFS game. Not the best game ever, but the charts are quiet at the moment. Reply 0

• Dead or Alive 4

• tannerd 27/01/2006

  But the point, morriss, is that is your opinion. And EG's is different. So? I personally think they've been spot on - I didn't like Kameo at all, and thought fifa was rushed, looked awful, and was no way worth £50. I'd have been gutted if I'd got that for a launch game, luckilly I read EG's review, and picked it up on rental. Gave it a week (to unlock the points, and get inside it) and sent it back. I still think Fifa 2002 was the peak...
  
  So if everyone (EG and yourself and me) is allowed their own opinion, then it's fine. Except there seems to be a fanboy element who insist that their opinon is the right one, and the EG one is wrong as it is anti-360.
  
  Personally I think the 360 is great - PGR, CoD, PD (multiplayer only), Condemend, a little NFSU and the Arcade have filled my time for the last 2 months, and I can't wait to see it's potential fulfilled. My single negative is that it doesn't support video streaming nicely. Reply 0

  "As I clicked on the review I just knew it would be an average or low score."
  
  Fucking hell! An average score - that must be really unlikely!

• tannerd 15/12/2005

  6/10 isn't a bad score. Not a very good one, but.... I rented this, and it was alright. Never got on with any of the snowboarding games before, although I do like TH. Thought the cutscenes were original, although not actually that useful - I had no idea what they were talking about, but they were entertaining enough. Style over content maybe. It did seem a bit easy though.
  
  FIFA on the other hand - it seems to have developed into a midfield slog, and there seems to be very little grace left in it. To be honest I'd prefer FIFA to go back to being a bit more of an arcadey feel. At least that was fun. Reply 0
