The weather has been incredible this week, which is typical, considering I’ve spent most of it indoors working on my dissertation (which thankfully is now finished and handed in!). Sadly it doesn’t seem like it’s going to stay this way for much longer, so we better make the most of it while we can!
Anyway, enough talking about the weather, let’s get started with this week’s Community Round-Up!
The latest round of TSA’s Plus Points Challenge has arrived, this time with Mercenary Kings. The primary challenge is a speed run of the first level, but with vital points up for grabs within the Championship and a PSN voucher to one entrant picked at random, it’s worth giving it a go even if you don’t think you’ll be able to get the top spot!
The results of the first week of TSA’s FIFA 14 FUT Competition are also in, along with the fixtures for this week.
There’s currently no TSA meets scheduled, so we’ll dive straight into the articles section with the Reviews. This week Aran looked at 2 Vita titles, first giving a disappointing 5/10 to Ethan Meteor Hunter, and then a much higher 9/10 to The Sly Trilogy.
But that wasn’t the only 9/10 this week, as both Trials Fusion and Fez earned themselves high scores from Peter and Dom respectively. The last review came from Blair, who gave a 7/10 to LEGO The Hobbit, who said that although it’s very similar to the other games in the series, it continues to be a lot of fun in co-op.
Now for our weekly check-in with Stefan and the Previews! He first looked at Nosgoth, the free to play entry in The Legacy of Kain series (and also did an interview for it), before bringing us a video preview of the new Battlefield 4 DLC, Naval Strike.
Loadout featured in Indie Focus, while Blair looked at The Room Two on Mobile Watch, and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale was examined again in PlayBack.
Aran stepped into Vayne’s shoes from Final Fantasy XII in a Matter of Perspective, while Blair continued his tales from within Tamriel and The Elder Scrolls Online.
On the Community side of things, 7 Rent It votes were given to Need for Speed: Rivals in its Verdict, while Killzone Shadow Fall is the new WeView game for you to vote on, which is already attracting a lot of comments.
Meanwhile in the Chronicle, DriveClub with its stance on microtransactions and TLOU Remastered featured alongside your usual achievements and trophy leaderboards.
Tidying stuff up in the usual way, Kev hosted Episode 137 of the Podcast to celebrate his 100th appearance, and there’s What We Played #152 from Greg, featuring The Sly Trilogy, The Room Two and Trials Fusion.
The Forums have seen plenty of discussion this week, although most of it is in pre-existing threads.
- Kamokazi-UK has found a 2TB HDD that can be slotted into a PS4 (with some delicate smashing of the HDD’s case), hopefully he’ll report back how it works, as I know there are many people quickly filling up the space on their PS4 hard drives!
- Mr Flame Head wants to know if anyone has any games on Steam they’re wanting to trade?
- And on a sadder note, Freezebug pays tribute to his boxer.

I’ve got quite a few Humble keys too, most from the Origin bundle so Dead SPace, Burnout, Crysis 2, MoH, Mirror’s Edge and C&C: Red Alert 3 if anyone fancies a trade.
