Speaking of hard drives, anyone have suggestions for external? Preferably one I don't have to plug into the wall?

[Dan]

I use this.

I use this.

Here's the American Amazon listing.

Any single player stuff on Titanfall? That price is way tempting but I don't really do multiplayer

[Dan]

No but it's good fun! They have NPCs to kill too who are easy to kill so at least you don't feel like you're not killing anything if you suck.

[Your Mom]

Also does the evil within play like the last of us? I will be all over that if it does

[Summers]

Farcry and Dragon Age are my gifts from Santa. Very exciting.

[Baddar]

If you liked FC3, you'll definitely like 4.

[King Ellis]

When are you going to open your real present, Summ, a new contract from the Dragons?

And a little late now I suppose but for Titanfall, there's no single player but as Dan says, there's computer controlled fodder you can go after that don't offer too much in the way of resistance. Plus there's a 'smart' pistol that pretty much automatically locks on to enemy targets for you so that can be a help. There's always the semi-recently introduced Frontier Defence too which does away with the whole competitive multiplayer thing in favour of a Horde/Firefight type mode where you and 3 other people defend generators from waves of enemy attacks.

Tomorrow I think!

Weighing up Destiny, Halo, COD, and Mordor. Not sure what I want from the group though.

After being tempted by all those sales the only thing I ended up buying was the Walking Dead bundle. Probably should have tried Titanfall

I wouldn't bother with Destiny, it's good fun for a couple of days but the level cap if far too low (imo) and the story is far too short and isn't very good anyway. Mordor is great if you want a single-player game to play, then I'd pick one of CoD and Halo. Get CoD if Halo isn't fixed by the next patch (due this week).

Predictably, UFC is coming to EA Access. Dec 18th. Nice.

And by the sounds of it, this #IDARB game is coming out in February as part of the Games with Gold program. Not entirely sure what to make of it. Seems kind of like if you took Speedball and made it horizontally and platformy. Could be a fun multiplayer game.

Just checking UFC's release date, it'll be pretty much 6 months to the day since it's release. Maybe we'll get NHL and Madden 15 come March?

[Dan]

UFC! Awesome. It's a good game and has had loads of free updates since I rented it so I'm looking forward to that.

I want NBA and NHL to come to EA Access in the new year, that'd be nice.

[Summers]

UFC? Wahey!

[Dan]

It's on the store for free now for EA access people! Get downloading!

[Brody]

Anyone in the XBOX preview dashboard program gets the Halo 5 beta tomorrow for the weekend. That's cool. Not a huge Halo fan but it'll be cool to play. If it works.

[apsham]

Murdered: Soul Suspect is 16.50 today.. I've been wanting to play that but didn't want to pay anywhere near full price. This is perfect.

[ZJ Penn]

Plus if you're into Trophies/Achievements, it's maybe the easiest Platinum you'll ever get.

[Summers]

Man, UFC is different from the last one I played. Undisputed 3, was it? I think.
