Community Round-Up: 14/09/13

I bet a lot of you are looking forward to getting your hands on GTA V on Tuesday, though meanwhile I’m battling with TSA’s dreaded 508 error! Fingers crossed, I’ll be able to look back over the past seven days worth of content and manage to deliver this week’s Community Round-Up!

We’ve teamed up with MusicMagpie to give you the chance to win a GTA V Collectors Edition! To enter, you just need to write a comment telling us what you’re looking forward to doing in Los Santos. We’ll be picking a winner at random on Monday, and will hope to get the game to you as soon as possible!

MusicMagpie are also running their own competition, with first place winning a limited edition PS3 and a collector’s edition of GTA V, second place winning a GTA V special edition and third place receiving a standard edition of GTA V.

Also this week, TSA’s co-founder, Michael, has kindly given us 10 codes for his latest iOS game, Discbord. It’s a great little game, and you just need to post a comment to enter, so head on over to watch the trailer and enter! You need to enter by Monday night at 11:59PM, after which we’ll select 10 lucky winners at random.

The only Meet we’ve got right now for next week is Kitch’s Red Dead Redemption Meet at 9pm tomorrow.

We can probably expect the usual DiRT, GT5 and Battlefield Meets appear soon, although I suspect there’s quite a high chance most of you will be busy getting stuck into GTA V!

As always, you can add your own Meet to the list, providing you’ve got more than 250 TSA Points.

Taking a look at the Reviews, Aran gave the rhythm game, KickBeat, a 7/10, while DanToo described Puppeteer, which received 7/10, as “simply a delightful experience”.

Jim gave Disney Infinity an 8/10, and reviewed Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, although didn’t give it a score due to the depth of the game. In Mobile Watch, he looked at Smash Bandits, which looks great fun. Teflon (with some co-op help/hinderance from Adam and myself) reviewed the PC shooter Arma 3, although he didn’t feel he could give it a score either.

From the Previews, Peter looked at Beyond: Two Souls and also F1 2013. Meanwhile Teflon, busy as per usual, gave us a peek at Bungie’s Destiny and Square Enix’s Thief.

Vivid Games, whose recent release of Real Boxing proved a hit on first iOS and now Vita, allowed Teflon a look at Godfire, their upcoming game for iOS and Android. After last week’s look at The Division’s Drones, this time he looked at the tablet integration for Watch Dogs.

Looking at the community articles, the Chronicle featured Duffybox’s gaming rig, while the WeView Verdict for Injustice Gods Among Us resulted in 5 Buy It Votes out of 5. The next game for WeView is Spec Ops: The Line, which you can see on this coming Tuesday due to an unforeseen break in our usual programming.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution got plenty of attention this week, first from Aran in A Matter of Perspective, and then again in PlayBack. For Indie Focus, Gamoc looked at The Showdown Effect, which looks to be jam packed full of frantic action and fun.

After the TGS announcement of the PlayStation Vita TV, Blair shared his thoughts on the new console, while Teflon shared his belief that Steam’s new sharing feature is largely pointless.

Newsdesk Episode #10 from Josh and Peter was a fantastic look at last week’s news, as usual, and we also had What We Played #122 from Greg. There was just Kris and Lewis for the Podcast and Episode 112, as we round off the articles.

Let’s take a look at the Forums now, and see what’s been going on:

• Mcphatty asks, what is your earliest memory?
• Person678 has a thread for everyone interested in Final Fantasy XIV.
• With GTA V drawing near, I thought I’d remind everyone to check out this thread to swear your allegiances to one of TSA’s many gangs!

And there we have it; it looks like TSA held up long enough for me to collect everything, and now it should be fixed so you can avoid the problems I had!

Hopefully next week it will be a bit easier, so until then – bye!
