Community Round-Up: 10/03/12

Welcome back TSAgents, it’s been another busy week here, and I think I’m coming down with the Black Death. Steven’s even drawn a red cross on the door to my room here at TSA Towers, but anyway, let’s see how far I can get before I die in this weeks Community Roundup!

There are no new competitions this week, just Teflon’s round up of winners, so lets move straight along and have a peek at what TSA Meets are taking place this week. Bodachi kicks things off with the Uncharted 3 meet taking place at 7pm tonight, while R1MJAW hosts the weekly DiRT 3 meet tomorrow, Sunday beginning at 6pm.

On Monday night, Stanley1664 is hosting a GT5 meet taking place at 8pm. You can also hit the slopes with theberzerka also at 8pm in the new SSX meet.

On Wednesday, Death_in_Flamez hosts the weekly F1 meet, taking place at 8pm, and finally there’s Forrest’s weekly Battlefield 3 meet on Friday night at 9pm.

Remember, you can add your own meet to the list provided you have at least 250 TSA Points.

Kicking off with the reviews, let’s begin with Peter’s Street Fighter X Tekken review, in which he gave the game 8/10. Also getting an 8/10 was Binary Domain, reviewed by Dan. Moving onto the download titles now, Kris scored Ubisoft’s I Am Alive at a disappointing 4/10, whilst Jim gave the PSN exclusive Smash n’ Survive an even more disappointing 2/10.

For the Vita reviews this week, Alex gave Unit 13 a solid 8/10, and Jim took a look at Army Corps of Hell, giving it 5/10. That Jim’s clearly been a busy man, as he also took a look at Dynasty Warriors NEXT, giving it a 7/10.

For the single hands on this week, Kris got stuck in with DiRT Showdown. This arcade entry into the DiRT series sounds like it could be something wonderful.

Taking a look at the community articles, the week began with Miffi-Lou’s interview in Meet the Reader. Fans of Saints Row 3 can leave their comments for this week’s WeView, or you could take a look at the verdict for Limbo. Jim re-visited 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand for Playback, and there’s also What We Played #43 to cast your eye over. Lastly you can grab Episode 54 of the Podcast, although it’s sadly missing Peter (although you do get Dan instead).

Moving on now to the forums, lets see what’s been happening this week.

Well first things first, a little bit of a public service announcement. The Podcast gang are looking for a new segment, and Kev has asked in the forum for people to send in their best suggestions. I for one hope they can get Moira Stewart to read out the news.

• Let’s hope Mikey isn’t actually a hit man, because he’s asking if you could make any celebrity disappear, who would it be?
  
• Roy wants to be amused, so post anything funny you can find!
• WipEout fans that want to improve should check out the tips (or leave some) in this improvement thread.
• Crazy Del wants you to share your best dance moves, and also mention any Move games you like while you’re at it.
• With the Formula 1 season kicking off next weekend, I thought it would be a good reminder to mention TSA’s Fantasy F1 league if anyone wants to join in.
• Kev is looking for ideas for a new feature on the TSA podcast, help him out if you get a chance.

Remember, you need to be signed into TSA to view General Chat.

In the Prime versus Prime battle that took place last week, Optimus thrashed Liberty 11-1. For this week, Commander Shepard from the Mass Effect trilogy will be going up against Optimus Prime. Does he stand a chance?

Commander Shepard

Pros:

• Highly versatile with a wide range of abilities.
• Commander of the SSV Normandy.
• Often manages to win a fight just with dialogue choices.

Cons:

• He’s just a human and has to fight various creatures from the Universe.
• Too interested in romancing people to focus on the problem at hand.
• Both emotionally and physically scarred.

Optimus Prime

Pros:

• Leader of the Autobots, the most badass assembly of robots ever known.
• Drives round with an armoured weapons platform, just in case something goes down.
• Will never surrender to the Decepticons.

Cons:

• Attempts to surreptitiously conceal himself as a massive red and blue truck, because you see loads of those everyday, right?
• Often trusts those he should not, ‘seeing the good in everyone’.
• Goes through loads of WD-40.

Remember to vote below in the comments for who will win. I’d also quickly like to thank Blair for giving me a hand with info for Shepard. So, until next week, bye!

-As per usual, Gazzagb put together the round-up for this week.
