I am going to save my points for the closing sale. I used GAME all the time up until around 2004 when they started getting a bit over priced. Since around 2007, the few times I have bought from them it's been one bad experience after another. 3 times I have bought games from them advertised as new which ended up being pre-owned. 2 DS games that had save files on them, and a PS3 game from online which came with a cover full of dog teeth marks and a tatty manual.



Nintendo and Ubisoft games too apparently, just hasn't been confirmed yet.

Yep, amazing game, one of the best games of 2011. I enjoyed it a lot more than Uncharted 3.

always found GAME a bit pricey and it's very rare that I use them, generally the same game can be found cheaper 100yds up the road in Gamestation, and there's also a CEX inbetween the 2, who's emergence on the scene has probably played a part in the undoing of GAME. Although I kind of hope they don't disappear as this will probably give Gamestation and all the other competitors an excuse to push their prices up.

Game own Gamestation don't they?

Got a PS3 and to be honest can't get into it. I've borrowed Unchartered 2 and played quite a bit but I'm bored of it.

Any games I 'must' have? Preferably cheaper ones as I hate the idea of paying more than £30 for a computer game these days.

I've read something on her about some batman games so maybe that.

What or where is Grainger? CEX isn't a proper games shop is it? Isn't that a pawn shop for electrical goods or does it sell new goods too? Warrington is a fairly large town centre so we're quite lucky to have a couple, but I'll bet there are plenty that just have Game and Gamestation or just game. Hasn't the Trafford Centre only got two Game stores?

Cheers for the heads up, just ordered myself a copy. Another one to add to the growing pile of unplayed games that I buy on a whim whenever they're reduced in price

What sort of games are you into?

Sports and driving mainly. I have Fifa 12 on xbox, which i can't say I enjoyed much.

I have Gran Turismo, but's a bit too realistic. I want some fun when I play

May get one of the COD or the other one, I don't play online though so dunno which is best.

I'll tell you what though, its bloody annoying when it keeps telling you you have updates to install etc. bloody hell!!

Not sure, as I understand it, they are both owned by the same Company or shareholders or whatever. But are separate companies. Although from what I can find through google there's people suggesting they do, and some suggesting they don't, so I could be wrong.

Grainger Games is the shop facing Scoop, where GameXchange used to be, GameXchange is now on Bridge street. I suppose CEX isn't a proper gaming shop, more of a cash converters than a game shop, but they do sell a lot of games.

IMO, gaming specific shops will begin to fade out, with supermarkets and places like Currys and HMV, they will either broaden their range (things like iPads, gaming PCs, etc) or they will become extinct.

Really enjoying FIFA Street, not sure what the verdict is across the internet, but I've had loads of fun playing it. Scored some really cool goals, but I imagine there are some people that are already crazy good with the skill, I'm just trying to learn the basics for now but it is a pleasant change from FIFA 12.

It is fun isn't it. I'm utterly terrible at it though but some of the things I've done accidentally have looked awesome.

Not sure about the extended credit, but EA wanted a cut of the EA pre-owned game sales. I'll let you guess what the answer from GAME was

Commerical suicide by the looks of things. Game was struggling and now it isn't going to be selling the first Triple A title of the year or no EA games in the future. The biggest game of the year in terms of sales is Fifa, this is basically like a cinema refusing to show the next Twilight film.

So is the 3 the last game featuring Desmond? The AC Embers film seemed to hint at China/Japan for the next AC franchise?

Quote ="Charlie Sheen"So is the 3 the last game featuring Desmond? The AC Embers film seemed to hint at China/Japan for the next AC franchise?'" Think it will be the last in the main series unless they do any spin offs after etc. In Embers Ezio only taught Jun stuff about being an assassin and she doesn't end up an ancestor of Desmonds. In AC3 the new character is called Conner. Sounds good though with the stuff that will be in it. Been in production for 3 years now! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed_III

When will EA fix ultimate team? It's so buggy, the amount of times I get 'Sorry but there has been an error we are signing you out of ultimate team' is unbelievable. I don't play any other modes either, I also think that the Gold Packs are too expensive at 7,500 coins or £1.19? I mean really EA such a rip off.

You don't happen to use the Virgin Media Superhub do you?

Nope

Ah, because there's a huge problem with certain hubs that stops Ultimate Team from working and the only way to fix it is try a different router because EA can't be bothered fixing it.

Just had a go on the fifa street demo, good fun but I can't see it having much longevity.

Having hammered the life out of FIFA Street, I've come to the conclusion that it's a good game - and will be a good game to play with your friends - but it shouldn't be a full game. It should be a £10-£20 DLC extra that's optional for FIFA 12 users (and later editions). The game demo seems good, but looking at what's available and the way the matches play, it doesn't seem deep enough to warrant the full game treatment. Much like FUT used to be DLC, I think they could turn this into an extra piece of content.

Agree with you there. If it comes out and they are looking for around the usual £40 then I can't justify buying it really.
