Lots of people are enjoying EGX, judging by my Twitter feed, and it’s making me seriously tempted to go next year just for the freebies alone! I’m also catching up with TSA Live from EGX as I write this, as I didn’t get the chance to watch it the other night. Anyway, without further ado, let’s begin this week’s Community Round-Up!
Joining the usual TSA Meets this week, which include GT6 on Monday, Red Dead on Tuesday, and Battlefield on Friday, is Destiny with Kamokazi-UK, who has set up a Meet for today, calling out to anyone who fancies some shooting n’ looting.
If you would rather play something different, you can add your own Meet to the list, provided you have more than 250 TSA Points.
It was a very busy week for the Reviews, and we’ll begin with the one that everyone’s been talking about; Destiny. Earning a 7/10, Stefan said that despite its flaws, it does “point to an exciting future for the game.” Roll on Destiny 2, then!
Along with Destiny, Disney Infinity 2.0 Marvel Super Heroes was also given a 7/10 from Jim, while Blair gave Super Smash Bros. an 8/10, calling it an “impressive fit” for the 3DS.
Described as “a remastered edition of an enjoyable game”, Dom thought CastleStorm: Definitive Edition was worthy of an 8/10, while Forza Horizon 2 was also given an 8/10 from Peter. Last up on the Reviews was this year’s instalment of FIFA, which Peter called an “evolutionary leap” in his 9/10 review.
It was a quieter week for the Previews though, with Stefan bringing us first looks at Runemaster, a norse mythology game and F1 2014, which sees numerous changes such as the new power units. The racing theme continued in his preview of The Crew (also with an interview), before Kris hit the skatepark in OlliOlli 2.
Mobile Watch returned thanks to Jim, with a look at The Nightmare Cooperative, a roguelike puzzle game, while Sam jumped back into the shoes of Nathan Drake in Uncharted 3 for PlayBack.
Meanwhile, the Chronicle talked about Minecraft, DriveClub and Sony’s financial results, while on WeView, Trials Fusion received a Sale It Verdict from the Community, as Child of Light takes its place for this coming week.
As I mentioned earlier, there was also a one off special for TSA Live, featuring Blair, Aran, Tuffcub and a Mystery Guest (with the mystery being ruined by Tuffcub!).
There was no What We Played this week, but earlier on in the week, the gang discussed Destiny, FIFA and Forza in Episode 155 of the Podcast.
The Forums are still down, so all that’s left for me to say is have a good week and I’ll see you next time – bye!
