Yeah I've never managed more than a few hours. Can't really remember why now, think they just felt like a Tesco Value GTA.

Will definitely give this one a go for free, though.

I played the first one - it was terrible. I was convinced to buy the second one to play in co-op and it couldn't keep a stable connection - also the gameplay and map was the same from the first game (ie terrible).

Saint's Row 2 is the best game of all time. You're a fuckhead.

It was exactly the same as the first game but with poorly-implemented co-op. Janky piece of shit.

I bought 2 copies when they were cheap for me and PazBro to multiplayer. 20 minutes we lasted. Then back to GTA4

SR2 had way better story and characters than any of the GTA games have had. It admittedly was far from polished, but who gives a fuck. And SR4 let you beat people to death with 4' jelly dongs.

The missile opener is still one of the best moments I've ever had in gaming.

NBA2K16

Seems like it could be fun, but I'm having issues with some things:

1) Is there a way to stop the game from showing time outs? Every single time anyone scores in Q4, and also at other times, we spend ten seconds of useless time seeing men stand around. I don't want to see this.

2) How do you make your team try for rebounds? I have only played three games, but unless I run back to rebound my team refuses to even try to get them. I have, like, ten over three games, but if I stay on the outside (like I should, I'm a Point Guard), the opposition just shoot and shoot until they score, or it accidentally falls into my team's arms.

3) I know you can hold O to get a teammate to run towards the basket. Is there any other way? I'd like them to occasionally be in place for a pass that is incisive, and don't want to have to call them in every time.

The above things are driving me mad.

PS+ is the cost of entry for BezzieGta now, so sadly it doesn't matter what Sony does with the free games coz they got me by the balls.

Oh, yeah, I meant to post about this. Given Sony's... spotty... track record of account hijacks and crummy customer service, you should run -- don't walk! run! -- to turn this on for your account. Especially if you have a credit card stored against it.

I did mine this morning and it just took a few seconds - its interesting that its shows its the same authentication text number as Steam and Microsoft (I assume some service provided by a 3rd party)

I went to the page, clicked activate now, but the page I am on simply has a my email address, the text, " two stage verification account setting s" and a sign out button. What am I supposed to do?

Try a different browser possibly ?

This is how mine looks

I think Tricky Towers is the best thing I've had off there for about six months. And I don't really play online. Excellent value!

Star Trek Online is free up to level 60 and it is rather good fun.

Is level 60 a lot? How long does it (roughly) take to get there?

Sal was playing it the other day when I got home from work and it looked totally naff. Still want to play it, mind.

Taken me a good 20+ to get to 50. And it seems 50-60 take a hell of a lot longer, I'm up to 52 I think. So probably got another good 10 hours or so left.

Transformers: Devastation is perfect, because I was never going to buy it (I suck at / dislike brawlers) but I did want to marvel at the graphics.

What is the difference between the old and new PS4

with the PS4 being £150 for the 500GB is that a good deal?

I would say that's a very good deal.

The 1TB one is £179...

The new slim is HDR capable but otherwise the same performance so get the old one.
The PS4 pro due in a couple of months is noticeably more powerful.

Its a very good deal - its really only superficial differences between the old and slim ones right now (although there will be differences with the Pro when it is launched).

Main changes - Smaller , slimmer , less energy drain , should run quieter and cooler

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/138590- ... ed-to-know

From the videos I watched at launch the only other differences were a missing audio port on the back and a physical power button (rather than the current touch thingy)

FYI if you want the drive can be swapped out to a bigger capacity one quite easily so dont worry that much about the bigger drive (although £20 more for the 1TB would probably encourage me to go for that one)

Install sizes vary wildly with the biggest stuff around 90gb (I think Doom or one of the COD's plus map packs is my biggest game) - so you'd only have 4 or 5 of those on a 500gb disk

All PS4s have been made HDR capable through a firmware update, as I understand it.
