I wouldn't recommend Assassin's Creed. A few people warned me off it before I got it, but I thought "wowee, this game looks way too cool to be shit!", but, it's shit. Really shit.

If I get the red rings of death right as I'm about to play GTA 4.. oh boy.. YOU BETTER ALL WATCH OUT.

For whatever reason, I had an urge to play Metal Gear Solid, the PS1 version, yesterday. I completed it today and wow, that game is just as good, if not better, than it was when it first came out. The storyline connected more to me now that I'm not 9 years old, as I actually understood it. The characters are superb too. Psycho Mantis' death scene is one of the best things I've ever seen in a game.

After that little bit of nostalgia, I had a look through my old PS1 games box and loaded up WWF Attitude. I still remember the day I got that. It had been delayed and delayed and delayed, until finally it was released, and I remember playing it at my friends house for the first time after we had a sleepover. Man I loved that game. Well, I played it today and it SUCKS. At the time, the "right, left, right, down, triangle" thing to do a move didn't seem so bad. But now it's just horrible.

What old games do you think have held up well? And what ones haven't held up so well?

I don't hate the game but...

I just could not get into Mass Effect. I doubt I'll ever finish - I've tried to play it two or three times and each time I get bored pretty quickly. Assassin's Creed got repetitive really quick and I am the same way with that.

Ha, I was gonna say the same two. I got both for Christmas. I played Mass Effect once and haven't played it again since. I've played Assassin's Creed a few times and wow is that game boring. How a game with a physics engine like that can be so damn boring is just crazy, but it sure is. I'm selling it on eBay right now actually. Anyone wanna buy it? I'm gonna try Mass Effect again soon, so hopefully I'll enjoy it more on the second play.

...this will be a reason to get a Live....

Exactly what I'm thinking. I took the 1 month free trial, had fun on Halo, lagged like crazy on PES, then realised I didn't think it'd be worth buying a subscription. When GTA 4 comes out, maaan, that's sure gonna change.

The gameplay is superb. I've played the latest Fifa and PES is just so much better.

I'm in the same "will I get it on the day?" CONUNDRUM. I think I'm just gonna go for it and order it from Play. If I don't get it on the day I'll be pissed, but they're usually very good with postage.

A piano cover by David Sides of Apologize by One Republic ft Timbaland. Really good track. He's got loads of other tracks too, he's really talented:

What the hell at John Motson's glasses...

Why in the FUCK would anyone want to play for Canada over Holland?

It's a good decision by him.

To me it just seems like this is being made as a "tester" for a future game in which they'll improve greatly on. The last I heard they're only having really short entrances ...hope that's not the case. But again, in the 2nd game they'll increase the length and call it an improvement.

It's all about money.

Ohh, they're so close. I wonder what fuck up's are gonna happen this time. Lincoln driving the bus into that electricity pole was good.

I understand that the write up's take forever to do, and you probably don't want to do them. So could you just post the remaining results without write up's?

EDIT: LMAO. I called it, check out the Yahoo front page.

Wow... Belichick is a douchebag. At least get out there and shake Coughlin's hand you fucking asshat. I know we're all pissed off and shocked... but seriously.

Someone told me he shook hands with Coughlin. I didn't see. Can anyone confirm if he did or he didn't?

Eli Manning MVP? I think thats a lock. BUT MY MAN PLAX! GAME WINNER!

Wow, that was an amazing game.

HOLY SHIT

Holy shit, that was some play.

Well, I said a few minutes ago that the next team to score would take the SuperBowl. I hope the Giants can hold on. This game has been awesome.

Are SuperBowls normally this low scoring? I don't remember the last few years being like this.... What is the lowest scoring SuperBowl?

Eli's playing great. I wonder if the Patriots will pick it up now, Brady needs to improve quickly.

Who the hell is Tom Petty. I've honestly never heard of him.

3-0! The Giants have done well so far.

This month our regular columnist Peter Ndlovu recalls an unsavoury incident from the African Cup of Nations.

Things have been quiet this month so when I sat down to write this article my mind went blank. Although the following tale has very little to do with the game of football, fans will still find it quite entertaining.

It is from the 2006 African Nations Cup in Egypt. We had just played our final group game, ending on a high by beating a strong Ghana side but still crashing out of the tournament. At the hotel that night we decided to have a few drinks and toast to our victory. I had invited my friend Tony Yeboah along (fans of English football will remember him from his highly successful period with Leeds United) as he had been watching the match.

The lads started giving Tony a lot of stick for his country's loss, especially our head coach Charles Mhlauri. Tony was taking it quite gracefully but, as a proud Ghanaian, I could sense his patience was wearing thin. Nevertheless, the drinks kept flowing and so did the jokes.

It came to the end of the night and some of the lads had disappeared to bed, most notably our coach and Tony. Now during the whole tournament Charles had personally entered the hotel rooms of our most lazy players (Benjani was the worst) and pulled them out of bed in the morning to get ready for training so myself and a couple of the other lads decided to repeat the routine on him. We got the keys from reception and seven of us bundled into his hotel room at 4 a.m. To our horror it was not Charles who we found in bed, it was Tony Yeboah. The worst part was that he was having sex with Charles' wife!

I quickly rounded the boys up and ushered them out of the room, frantically hoping to keep a lid on the situation. After all, it was I who invited Tony to the party! We found Charles in one of the hotel bathrooms.

He had had far too much to drink and crashed out.

The next morning, at breakfast, I quizzed Tony about what happened and he delivered a line which I will remember all my life:

"When a man insults my country I insult him, by taking his woman"

Charles did eventually find out about the incident and I think he separated from his wife for a period. The last I heard though was that they are back together and he's now coaching in the USA.

The moral of the story is never to p*ss off Tony Yeboah!
