EA's SimCity was apparently a huge disaster, causing loaads of people to not connect to a server to even play the game! So EA have thought of a way to say sorry. They cannot simply refund people until the server issue is fixed, they have said that people that bought the game will be able to download a free game of their choice on PC from the EA catalogue. This Im sure wont be appealing to the hardcore gamers since there's not much available.
Microsoft are being 'kind' to Mums this weekend and keeping the kids busy with FREE XBOX LIVE GOLD for the weekend! If you didn't know about this, get on it now because that's not the only thing they're offering. To further keep the kids and male partners glued to the TV's Microsoft have teamed with multiple game companies to give freebies just to play the games! If you play an hour of Halo 4 online, you'll get a free Spartan avatar costume, awesome. Games like Black Ops 2, Far Cry 3 etc. will get double experience over the weekend, further awesomeness. Square Enix launched a Tomb Raider competition too if anyone's interested.
For the release of Tomb Raider on Tuesday, which has been a HUGE success! (Some dislike it but that's only diehard fans that don't want changes ((Or smaller boobs)). Review-wise has done better than every other game released in the past 4 months including big hits like Dead Space 3, Ni No Kuni, Halo 4 or even Black Ops 2.
I've recently started playing Aion. An MMO somewhat recently gone free-to-play that it oh so much better than most MMO's i've played in my time. It's great fun, the character creation is better than any Bethesda game (Oblivion & Skyrim) and the world is lively enough to keep you playing for hours. Playing with friends in their guild makes it that much better! There will be a new update in a few months with a whole new area, quests and three new classes. Apart from the default warrior, scout, mage and priest there will be a gun wielder, ultimate tanker and a bard! If you're a fan of MMO's or just any RPG's and your computer can handle it, give it a go!
Bungie have been keeping up to date with everything Destiny released publicly. Read these articles. Sooooooo cannot wait. I just want Halo, with the explorability (It's a word now) of Skyrim in a Mass Effect universe with the social visits of random players like Journey. I Want. I got my pre-order the other day, along with my free poster too!
Speaking of Journey, my sister-in-law got and finished The Unfinished Swan yesterday. Great game, I loved the feel and emotion of the gameplay and it's story. She found a Journey easter egg which I had no idea about! You get near the end ish, look through a telescope at the moon and when it zooms right in, you see this.Pretty awesome. I wish there were more easter eggs in games!
GearBox teased at a new character.
Steam are allowing pre-purchases for Bioshock Infinite. Also, if you pre-order in GAME or online, to get a copy on PC or PS3 you'll get a free download code for the first Bioshock.
GAME Hastings is dedicating a couple of awesome staff members to it's Facebook page, which is in dire need of love and attention. So like, follow and keep up to date with deals, competitions, tournaments etc.
WE FINISHED NI NO KUNI. Since I hadn't said yet. It's amazing. People's statements online are just awefull. I am currently writing a review for it which will be posted on IGN, GAME's website and other deserving places on the net to rectify it's current status.
Tired. Mothers day tomorrow. Will be a chilled day.
