Unisoft is next. Is that now?

In an hour I think.

That's the final nail for THQ, surely.

Like every RPG? Madden Versus 13?

FUCK. Missed the Microsoft Conference. Were there any embarrassing Kinect Demos?

All of those games are amazing, just slightly annoyed that I bought Psychonaughts and Limbo a couple of months ago. I may just get it for Sword and Sorcery alone actually. I have Amnesia but can't play it as I am a terribly unmanly man. And Bastion is an utterly supreme game. Review over.

Jeez, no. I can't stand X. I think in terms of gameplay and in terms of story, it's one of the weaker games in the series, with only a pretty good battle system going for it.

The Sphere Grid is awful, and little more than an attempt to create the illusion of choice over a linear levelling process, Blitzball is a ridiculous, overly convoluted, and generally shitty mini-game (the whole point of a mad underwater ball game is surely being able to move in three dimensions. So naturally, you only get to move in two), the characters are awful, and the story, while not quite Final Fantasy VIII, is forgettable and stupid.

That's my opinion anyway >_>

Personally, I'd say there's a damn good case for IX to be called one of, if not the best, in the series. The story's simplistic, but solid, the characters are actually likeable, and it's easily the most fun to play, and has some of the best mini-games, side-quests and sub-plots, and general optional material, while never feeling like there's a ton of stuff you need a strategy guide to figure out (one of the many failings of VIII).

It comes down to being between VI, VII and IX, in my opinion. Nothing else comes close, and the series has been in decline since IX.

I recently replayed IX, just after replaying VI and VII, simply to get an apt comparison between what are considered the best in the series. IX is far and away the best in my eyes, VII suffers from a lot of pretty bad translation and localisation. And also the fact that the main protagonist is just such a convoluted mess doesn't help either. VI is still great, gameplay wise and story wise, but it just doesn't have nearly the level of charm or depth that IX has. IX is fantastic throughout; the music design is absolutely outstanding. The story is definitely the best in the series, helped in no small part by it's fantastically realised characters. Yeah, I love IX.

Didn't even realise this was on, switched on to see Stam kill Murs. I love Soccer Aid.

Neuer

Kjaer - Hummels - Barzagli - van der Wiel

Ozil - Rakatic - Srna - Kallstrom

Gomez - Huntelaar.

Is my team. Though I am not entirely confident with it, as I'm not sure players like Huntelaar will even start games.

I've been watching tons of videos on this recently, looks incredible and I'll be trying to get it soon. If we can get a bunch of people here together for a game or two that'd be awesome.

Last goal for Milan. Pippo

Would also like to mention that Del Piero scored in his last ever Juventus game - Juve finishing the season undefeated.

Yeah, he spent 19 years there I think.

Goal is here: http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos/a-goal-in-his-final-game-alessandro-del-piero-v-atalanta/

What a fantastic player he was.

As a Tottenham fan I hereby commit Martin Fulop to 30 days of head punts.

If only West Brom put Ben Foster in goal and not Martin fucking Fulop then today would have been the perfect day.

Absolute madness. I can 't believe it.

Goddammit.

Just watched the finale to Season 4 of Castle. I cried like a little girl with pigtails and who's pigtails were black-tipped because I cry so much. Nathan Fillion is fucking incredible.

Anyone got any possession percentage stats?

According to The Guardian, Barca 81% - Chelsea 19%.

This match is using the Football Manager engine isn't it?

Ugh, Drogba is such a cunt.

ugh.

I hate being a Spurs fan.

Messi with a 5th. Are we allowed to have messi wankfests anymore?

I could never decide if the ending to Persona 3 was great or awful.

Days after beating the big, bad evil "You" fall asleep on the lap of Aegis (a female robot) and never wake up. You'd completely given all your life energy to beating Nyx and saving the world.

It was certainly unconventional.

Loved the ending, one of my favourites ever. But I'm really weird.

My housemate has a Wii, I'm awfully tempted to commandeer it for a week for this game, cockney bad guys + Nobuo's soundtrack? Yes.

Correct indeed, used to love that game as a kid, regardless of having vague knowledge of it being a Zelda clone.
