Community Round-Up: 12/04/14

We’ve had quite the week, with The Last of Us Remastered finally being confirmed, fresh rumours of The Last Guardian, and a new Borderlands game being announced too. At this rate, there’s going to be nothing left for E3!

Anyway, enough of that, let’s have our usual recap of TSA in this week’s Community Round-Up.

Tony posted the first weeks fixtures of TSA’s FIFA 14 Ultimate Team Competition, so if you’re playing and haven’t seen who you’re playing, do so now! There’s also a Forum thread for discussions and the posting of results, with a whole host of games having already been played.

You’ve got until Tuesday evening to get your matches played and posted, so good luck!

On Wednesday, Avenger is hosting another MotoGP 13 Vita meet on Wednesday at 8pm after last week’s successful gathering, and of course, there’ll be the usual GT6 Meet on Monday night.

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

The Previews have quietened down after last weeks bombardment, but this week Stefan managed to look at Concursion, a multi-genre adventure game currently on Steam Greenlight. The other Preview, this time for the PS4, was Shadow Warrior, an awesomely gory hack-n-slash shooter that looks a good laugh to play.

Stefan also spoke to Nick Tannahill about Stronghold Crusader II and a few other bits and bobs, while Blair began his quest exploring Tamriel in the Elder Scrolls Online.

Looking at the Reviews, the first came from Dan Lee, who gave a 6/10 to Strike Suit Zero: Director’s Cut, saying it’s right up your street if you just want to “blast-off into space and shoot down enemies by the bucketload.” Unfortunately, it gets a bit repetitive.

Meanwhile Blair looked at Episode 3 of The Wolf Among Us, giving it a 7/10, and Peter also gave a 7/10 to Football Manager Classic 2014 for Vita.

Indie Focus looked at the previously Ouya-exclusive Towerfall Ascension this week, while Monument Valley, described as being similar to Echochrome on PS3, appeared on Mobile Watch.

Guest writer, Alex Bullock, took a long hard look at The State of eSports, with was split across parts 1, 2, and 3, while Stefan spoke about InFamous: Second Sun’s Paper Trail ARG.

The Chronicle’s Hot Topics discussed Amazon’s Fire TV and Metro’s HD remakes, which is now even more topical following this weeks The Last of Us Remastered confirmation.

Meanwhile on WeView, Gran Turismo 6 received a mostly favourable Verdict, while the new game for you all to judge this week is Need For Speed Rivals.

Finishing off the articles as we always do, there’s What We Played #151 from Greg and Episode 136 of the Podcast, where Vaughn filled in for Peter to make sure the gang was up to full strength. 

The Forums have been a tad quieter this week, with discussion mainly appearing in existing threads:

• The Hopes for E3 thread is going strong, as Tony asks what can we do to get the TSA Meets alive and kicking again?
• And this week Avenger discusses PSN’s Easter Sale, and also has a rant about his messy housemate.
• Meanwhile, if you want to keep tabs on how the FIFA FUT competition is shaping up, the running scores are here.

That’s it for this week, and I’m back to my dissertation – the end is in sight (I think!). Anyway, I’ll see you this time next week, bye!
