Last week, Teflon very kindly covered for me after I slightly overdid it during Freshers week – my excuse is that it’s my last year so I was going to make the most of it! My head and liver has since recovered so here I am, and all set to deliver this week’s Community Round-Up!
We’ve got no new competitions, so we’ll dive straight into the Meets. There’s only one set up right now; you can all probably guess what it is. Yep, with the launch of GTA Online next week, Motalla has a meet at 8pm on Friday. I’ve yet to get the game myself, I’m waiting until I’ve got enough money or until a PC version is announced – fingers crossed!
If you fancy playing something else, feel free to create your own Meet, provided you’ve got more than 250 TSA Points. Alternatively, you could just donate some money my way so I can tear up Los Santos myself!
Moving on to the Reviews, Dan gave Diablo III an impressive 9/10, while Jim gave 8/10 to Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix. From the handheld titles, Inazuma Eleven 3 for the 3DS was given a 7/10 from Dom, as Sparkle for Vita achieved a 7/10 from Greg.
Lastly, PES 2014 received an impressive 8/10 from Aran, while Mobile Watch looked at Joust Legend, courtesy of Jim.
Looking at the Previews now, Teflon got infected by Dead Island Epidemic, the F2P MOBA game from Deep Silver. After a shot of penicillin and a miraculous recovery, he headed out onto the battlefield in Call of Duty: Ghosts, and spoke to Tina Palacios about the game. Following this, he made his way to Tamriel for the upcoming MMORPG, The Elder Scrolls Online.
Avenger revealed his gaming rig which he has at university in the Chronicle, while the Eurogamer Expo was the focus of last week’s Sunday Spotlight. Spec Ops: The Line received a lot of praise in its WeView Verdict, while GTA IV is now the game for you to comment on.
Blair revisited the LotR MOBA, Guardians of Middle-Earth in Playback, while Aran and A Matter of Perspective looked at the gorgeous game, Bastion.
GTA V has clearly been taking up a lot of people’s time judging from What We Played #124 from Greg, and the game was also discussed in Episode 113 of the Podcast. Lastly, Josh reflected on a relatively quiet week in Newsdesk Episode #14.
The Forums we’re a tad quiet this week, which is no surprise really with people getting stuck into GTA and also FIFA, which was released yesterday.
- Dirtyhabbit has a great FAQ thread for GTA V, which is well worth checking out if you get stuck or have any questions, but just be aware that there could be spoilers. There’s also a thread for Motalla’s upcoming GTA Meet.
- Continuing with the Meets theme, Avenger has one here for Killzone Mercenary.
- And lastly, Avenger also asks if Netflix is any good?
And there we have it. TSA might seem a bit quieter over the weekend with many of the staff members at Eurogamer, and there won’t be a Chronicle tomorrow, but I’m sure you’ll be able to read all about their endeavours and see what they thought about the games they got their hands on in the next few days. And as always, I’ll be here to round-up everything, so until then, bye!

Nice round up. I rarely preorder games so its been weird getting caught up in the GTA excitement and forum ramblings, it almost feels like a lot of members who aren’t playing it have been sidelined by the rest of us for a few weeks, but it’s been good to see my friends list full of people playing the same game. Looking forward to some online now, bring it on!
