Both consoles online services are down, hacked my Lizard Squad, who threatened in early December that they would hack both on Xmas day.

Annoying its down was finally going to play the Game Of Thrones game. Heard its really good and with how good Tales From Borderlands was I was looking forward to it.

Anyone played the Crew yet?


It played a early version of it a few months ago at Eurogamer. I didn't think it was too bad to be honest. Not as good as FH2 but for the price you got it its decent

Has anyone had trouble with achievements unlocking? A few of my Walking Dead ones say Done Unlocking but have been like it for a few days. Now all but one have stopping me getting the 1000g and its pretty annoying

I've been robbed of a couple on FIFA, but that's probably just glitched. Not had the error you've had though

Yeah its happened on a couple for me too on Destiny i completed a strike and a raid with all clan members and neither of those achievements popped. And on UFC I didn't get the Fight of the Night achievement even though I got that award at least 10 times on my career, and on the achievements app the green progress bar is full too as if i had done it. So yeah i dunno. I've also quite often not been able to access achievements at all but that might have something to do with all the server problems theyve had

ah well i'll check mine when I get chance but I wont mind too much if I have to replay to get em. Its better than it being stuck like that forever. The ones I need aren't too much of a ball ache to get apart from maybe the raid one on Destiny

How long do the game deals on Gold usually last? I thought it was a month but went to get Far Cry 4 and PVZ but where no longer on it. At least Geometry wars 3 is

The free games with gold are the ones that are a month long. The price discounts are usually anywhere between 3/4 days and a week. I really wanted Far Cry too but even with the reduction im just way too skint at the minute.

Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious is available to download now through Xbox Live for Xbox One and Xbox 360.

The expansion is standalone, so you don’t need to own Forza Horizon 2 to play it. It’s also free from now through April 10.

It includes ten new cars, all from the upcoming Furious 7 film. You’ll be given a series of challenges to acquire all ten of them.

I didn't realise it was a standalone expansion, I thought it was dlc for Horizon 2 which I don't own. Will have to give it a try although my internet is so slow that Fast and Furious 27 will be out by the time it downloads...

Whats everyones thoughts on the proposed multiplatform online gaming? If you've not read much about it, here's an extract from Xbox chief Phil Spencer.

“We think enabling people to play multiplayer games on Windows 10, across Xbox One and Windows 10, will unlock the potential of Xbox Live and grow social network that’s there today,” Spencer said.

Spencer has hinted at cross-platform play with the Xbox One in the past, but it’s looking like Fable: Legends is going to be the first game to actually make it work. It could be a big deal for games in the future: multiplayer games of all stripes live and die by their players, and cross-platform play can allow for larger communities on both Xbox One and PC. There’s no telling how many games will end up taking advantage of this in the future, but I could see Microsoft making a big push with competitive PC games like World of Tanks, already released on the Xbox 360. Imagine League of Legends ported to a console with its community and competition intact: it’s the sort of potential that actually feels, in a way, next-gen.


If you wish to read the rest, its here.

I got rid of my xbox one, mainly because it never worked when i wanted it to, i'd sometimes go on and it'd say "parties are unavailable, try again later" or "parties isn't working right now" or the headset wouldn't work without me pulling the power out of the xbox and doing a "hard reset" it just felt pointless, when i have a high end computer capable of running games at a far better FPS/graphical detail than an xbox one.

I'm part of the windows 10 preview, and the xbox app is really neat, but the fact that they've now announced that games can become multi-platform if the game developers wish excites me, Microsoft will be giving the xbox live API to game developers, which basically means, people on PC can play with people on Xbox, maybe even xbox 360, so it looks as though my decision to ditch the xbox one was a pretty good decision in hindsight.

What could this mean for PS4 users? Will the PS4 lose customers? Do you think multiplatform gaming could work?

Its gonna be a very exciting few years for Microsoft users.

They tried this years ago with games for Windows Live and it had no impact whatsoever

It's only going to matter if the devs bother making games with multiplatform multiplayer, which they probably won't.

If you havent gotten it already just go to the airport and continually drift side to side down the runway in the Nissan GT, easy peasy. Got the 1000 gamerscore in like 2 hours which was nice.

I invited everyone on my friend list a couple of days ago for some task for it so that might be why, trying to get my level up as much as poss to get a Smite beta code. Although weird that it automatically put you into it cause usually it just asks you if you wanna join

My Xbox One is probably the worst purchase I've made in my life at this point.

Horizon was fun, but other than that I haven't played a single game really, and the media player still sucks arse.

Really regret selling my blu-ray player now.

I feel the exact same about my PS4. I have been considering trading it in and putting the cash toward the Xbox One. Mainly for Halo.
