Eurogamer gave Never Alone a 10 out of 10 and that is a shorter, buggy game. But that didn't get a barrage of criticism. It seems they have one set of rules for indies and Microsoft games, and another set of harsher standards for Sony titles.

The first track, The Knights' Theme, is so understated but powerful. It perfectly suits the setting. Oscar quality.

A year is made up of four seasons not one.

XBO has beautiful exclusive Ori & the Blind Forest coming out in March. But what about more exclusives? The problem is Microsoft pushes them all in Q4. Releasing a game like Fable Legends or Forza in April (if they were finished) would get them so much more attention.

With Fable Legends the gameplay has switched from single-player RPG to a PvP type game not unlike Evolve. I think this would have been a great spin-off game if Lionhead were making a Fable 4, but as it stands I'm personally pining for more of that single player experience.

Sometimes I think the media collectively decide who they want as the good guy and a bad guy. This week the good guy receiving unrestrained adoration is Ori. This week (year) the bad guy is The Order 1886 which is getting non stop negative articles.

I wish the press, pro and amateur, stop classifying everything in black and white and start to see the beautiful colours in between.

10 million actually means AC Unity likely under performed because they are hiding the total sales figures with Rogue's numbers.

Shinobi is proven. Tidux is not. I distrusted him about Project Morpheus. The day before the reveal he had no info. As soon as it was revealed he gave a list of games that were being made for it. It's easy to know after the fact.

I guess whether it's too long or too short all depends on how you like to play. You can play a game so it is a race, you literally try to get from start to finish and pick up trophies.

Or you can allow yourself to be immersed in the game world, appreciate the beauty of what's been created, explore off the beaten track when you can, appreciate the art and enjoy the game.

I prefer the latter.

The political climate in gaming has changed with a strong push by some USA video game websites such as Polygon strongly criticising games that are in some way are discriminatory. However their power has become so influential that Western developers are adjusting the content of their games so not to receive negative press.

But the sad thing is American movies allow for freedom of speech and you can have teen movies with juvenile humour and big boobs. However this is not accept...

Love him or hate him, Pew Die Pie is the most successful gamer in the world. I'm older than his target audience and his vids are too annoying for me but I don't begrudge him success. He actually paves the way for other gaming YouTube megastars. Haters gonna hate but good luck to him!

* It's written by the PlayStation hater BEN DUKTA on PSXtreme, who reversed his 10/10 Assassin's Creed Unity review after he saw other sites were marking it lower.

* It's written by the guy who says if The Order: 1886 flops it will damage the PlayStation 4.

* He is so wrong about everything! I'm trying to work out if he just lacks understanding of the video game market or if he is secretly a fan of another console and using a PlayStation websi...

Eurogamer are the website who kicked off the trend for slating The Order: 1886 without having played the full game. Now previews are coming back favourable it would have seemed odd if backtracked and gave it a higher score and odd if they gave it a lower score that differs from the mainstream.

Written by the idiot who retracted his glowing Assassin's Creed Unity review after he saw the majority of other reviewers criticise it.

It's barely an article. Most of the post in this thread are longer and make better points than that little flame bait title! It doesn't even include a full logical argument as to why he thinks that accept to say 'word of mouth.' Coming from a PlayStation site as well. I wish I wasn't tricked into clicking.

I think we'll see them at E3, most probably on the Microsoft stage if you base it on the Skyrim, Fallout 3 DLC timed exclusivity.

I'm happy for XBO fans who have been waiting for this. Phil Spencer's charm is remarkable because he has his userbase celebrating about a core feature that was missing for 14 months.

I still get confused when watching Channel 4 and they say something like 'next on 4 Phil Spencer will be helping a couple in Plymouth find the perfect home.'

RUBBISH.
I hate this new fashion for criticising a game before anyone has even had the chance to play the completed game. Being professional is reviewing the final product. Being unprofessional is just being negative for the sake of hits. Oh, and here is another article jumping onto the bandwagon and hating on The Order: 1886. It's like you go to sit an exam but before you have written a word your teacher fails you and decides to give you a zero without even judging your work - it...

So this workaround is a screenshot of compressed 720p video which will lose much of the detail.

If the XBO can do video capture which I would think is much more complicated why can't it take a screenshot?

"While it is obvious that Fallout 4 is next on the cards, the latest rumours are suggesting that the game has been axed from production. This is because of Bethesda that is upset with how Interplay Entertainment is continuously blocking their move to turn Fallout 4 into an MMORPG."

LOL! This is a rumor without a source, that doesn't make any sense. If Bethesda were upset about having a Fallout MMO blocked by Interplay, why would they cease production of Fallout ...

I'm fighting with myself on whether I should order or not. The only games I'd really want now are Mario Kart or Monster Hunter 3 and Zelda when that's released.

I've got a feeling an official price drop is coming so I might wait a bit longer.
