TSA has been really busy this week, with news from immensely successful Kickstarters to the ever-lasting console performance discussions, this time with the upcoming Tomb Raider re-release the centre of a frame rate scuffle.
I’m sure you’ll all be able to see what was said about those hot topics tomorrow in the Chronicle, but for now, let’s begin this week’s Community Round-Up!
There’s no new competitions, although there was a gentle reminder for Resogun and the Plus Points Challenge, so we go straight on to the Meets, where Monday’s Gran Turismo 6 meet is the only one currently posted.
You can probably expect to see a few Killzone gatherings and the like appearing soon, so keep your eyes peeled, or create your own get-together, provided you’ve got more than 250 TSA Points.
Looking at the Previews now, Stefan’s had a busy week, looking at both inFamous: Second Son, and Styx: Master of Shadows.
Turning to the Reviews and Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD received a 6/10 from Jim, while OlliOlli for Vita was given a 7/10 from Blair.
Described as a “fencing tug-of-war side-scroller”, Gamoc looked at Nidhogg in Indie Focus, while on Mobile Watch, Jim looked at Year Walk. He then climbed back into the race seat for GRID 2 in PlayBack, before Devil May Cry 3 featured in a Matter of Perspective from Aran.
From the Community side of things, there was the usual Chronicle, while the results of last weeks poll about the DS4’s analogue sticks don’t paint the prettiest of pictures. There’s also a new poll to share your thoughts on, as Peter asks how important cross buy is in convincing you to buy games on PSN.
Diablo III for consoles is already attracting a large amount of comments in this week’s WeView, while Saints Row IV received favourable votes in its Verdict.
We also opened up the doors to a guest writer from the community, where Kitch explained why he cheated in GTA V, while Jim talked about his experiences in Don’t Starve and why it’s not his cup of tea.
Ending this section in the usual manner, there’s What We Played #140 from Greg and Episode 126 of the Podcast.
The Forums are buzzing with activity and plenty of discussion, which is great to see!
- Dar-Kaus asks who’s playing War Thunder?
- Damndogs wonders who has Knack and is up for getting some of the collectables?
- The costs of Game Development are being discussed in theshockwave’s thread.
- Beeje13 asks if you care about where you buy your games?
- And lastly, Taylor Made hosts the video game razzies!
That’s it for this week. I’ve caught a cold and am in no way exaggerating when I say there’s a 50% chance I may not be here next week. Keep your fingers crossed and I’ll hopefully see you next time. Bye!

Managed to improve my score in Resogun by just over five million today but having looked at some of the results on twitter I won’t troubling the leaderboard.

The Resogun part of the competition has been a lot of fun, and added some real replay value after getting the platinum, I have to thank the organisers for putting this together, great stuff. Looking forward to seeing what the next part is.
I’ve been reading articles on this site for years (always a great read), but it was such a cool competition that got me posting on here.

Community has always been at the heart of TSA. It’s great to see people getting more involved. Now let’s keep it rolling and get the meets absolutely jam packed.
