I thought I didn't need any more arcade sticks - I was wrong!

Buttons and stick have been modded. (Sanwa)

Apparently it has Xbox 360 functionality too!

I actually missed out on this exact stick twice on adverts. So third time's a charm, haha.

Thanks Hygro, she's a beauty.



Also got this the other day from Mozie82 - Rayforce!

I heard in passing that they put a hold on reviews by news/review sites until it was released? If true, thats never a good thing

From the reviews i read its getting 7 or 8/10's so far.. I think the hype and build up to it is whats letting it down in peoples opinions, I'll prob pick it up over the weekend and see for myself that I have a few days off.

I think it would have been received better if it made the launch of XB1 and PS4 as originally planned. inFamous: Second Son gave me my fix of open world games for a while. I'll probably pick it up cheap on PC in a few months.

I've only played about an hour of it so far but first impressions are that it's not as bad as some people are making out. There was a lot of hype built up and I guess some people had it built up to be the next GTA with hacking which it's definitely not. It definitely has more of a saints row/sleeping dogs vibe.

Driving isn't great but it's easy enough to adapt to it, as with other sandbox games. I do find it a bit confusing as when you're driving around there's lots of hacking options with traffic lights and stuff so it can be a bit distracting when you have all these prompts popping up.

I know people were saying the 360 version suffers graphically but I think it's on par with what's currently out there. Saying that I haven't seen the PS4/XB1 versions so I don't know how it compares.

Story seems interesting and supposedly gets better later on in the game.

Overall I'd say it's worth a play. Definitely not worth the €60 it's selling for in stores so wait a couple of months and pick it up for €30.

Actually there is one feature which I'm dying to try once the servers are up and that's the iPad app. It's basically where you get a top down view of someone's game as the police and you can deploy lots of different weapons and tactics to try and stop them.

Definitely seems like something that'd work really well on the wii u.

I think I'll be getting Watch Dogs when I buy a PS3 soon, it looks pretty epic!

And the fact I have an ipad makes me want it even more.

My cousin will have it soon anyway, so I'll get to try before I buy!

I got it from Amazon yesterday for the PS4 (not sure how it arrived for launch day using Super Saver delivery, but hey!)...like most have been saying, it's nothing ground breaking, but seems a decent game none the less. Apparently it picks up substantially after the first few hours.

Nice that he's not buying into their rubbish or upping the price, and sticking with meeting you.

Saturday suits us both for collection so I hope he stays that way until then.

Try and get it earlier if you can, I'm not too up on xbox collecting but I'd imagine a sealed console is worth several times that.

Check this out, sold too.

So I got a xbox2jamma adapter off saftyboy last night.
made a nice little case for it today and was going to make a jamma harness for it to make it proper jamma.
came out lovely




then disaster,
I was locking up one of the carparks in work and this wrinkly old bag of a yoke was last out and taking forever.
like I had no where else to be.
I had left my bag in the other car park and a fella drove over it



Luckily I had taken my raybans out and was wearing them because the case was flattened and ripped up.
he said he'll replace it for me.
Raging tho

o1s1n

Holy crap! Talk about utterly destroyed. You must be gutted, the job you did with the perspex looked gorgeous

Pretty pissed off but what can you do.
It could of been alot worse as I usually have all sorts of mad **** in my bag.

Los Lobos

Can those wii /dsi points be used on a 3ds?

No
But, there seems to be plenty of worthy titles on the Wii/DSi shop, which is nice!

That broken jamma makes me think there might be a gap in the market....

"Have your games been damaged and it wasn't your fault?"

In seriousness though that is ****ty, least the guy will replace it

I've been having some great fun with Hydroventure. It has a demo if you want to try it out, it has a world of goo charm to it.

**** one Dave, but that perspex looks amazing so I'm gonna see if you can do a marquee for the egret for me, only if you have the time. I'm gonna look into how they back light the NNC so well so it can work with the Egret. Lucky the xbogz wasn't in the bag too.
