    That game absolutely kicked all ass.
    Niclas Alexandersson and his ability to play everywhere, that Bakayoko guy, the greatest player that never was, and the unstoppable surge of Everton for absolutely no reason.

    Troof.

    And to think that I thought Everton would dominate world football after signing Bakayoko in real life:o

    Yeah I wasnt going to say anything either, one man's junk is another man's trunk and whatnot.

    Somebody had to say it! I was never a fan of the XBox or the Halo series, then my little brother bought both. I still wouldn't call myself a fan but I enjoy the game, what can I say?

    Don't understand why people love that game so much. I thought it was dire. Maybe it's just because I usually played shooters on the PC but it seemed way too simplistic and repetitive. It actually put me off console FPS games until I got CoD last week!
