I may be a bit late to the party on this one as I know it's been out for a while but recently just bought and played The Last of Us.

Absolutely brilliant. Probably the best game I've ever played. Always nice to see a bit of thought and effort put into a game rather than just racking up the bodycount.

TLOU has plenty of "body count" as the game progresses, some of the set scenes being particularly irksome.

Not to say that it isn't a decent story driven game overall though.

The Last Of Us had zero originality in terms of game play or story, (an immune survivor who must be protected has probably been done a lot), but it was the presentation and voice acting that really sold it. That giraffe scene though... Them feels

I don't particularly care about originality, I'd be amazed if there's a truly original story out there in any media, it's the effort that's put into the development of the story and the relationships within it that marks it out above others. In this sense games are no different from books, TV series or films.

In this context for me it's the equivalent of The Wire or Star Wars 4-6, compared to some of the stuff that's too often served up that's more like Star Wars 1-3. ie this has got some substance to it.

RL Live 3 is out 17th of september, didnt buy the previous but tempted to buy this one

Downloaded RLL3 from the US marketplace and so far I'm not overly pleased with it.

Completely rewritten the game play instead of improving the solid base from RLL2, Lots of silly glitches and frustrating passages of play. The AI plays hot potato and it is impossible to defend against.

Graphically it's a huge improvement however the game play just doesn't feel as fluent as previous titles. It's also pointless having forwards as they make no yards whatsoever.

Are you sure you're not just playing as Wires ?

Doesn't sound good. The reviews I'd read stated the forwards were the key to winning and that using your bench properly was the crucial thing to winning on the higher levels. Your brief review doesn't sound great at all. The first game was like you mention, really jerky animation and the AI passing just before contact and being 30 yards clear by the time you've got over the motion sickness and found the ball again.

Won't bother getting it then. I bought the last few RL games more out of a sense of duty rather than actually enjoying playing them. Whilst RL Live 2 seemed better than the others it still frustrates me that there are relatively basic flaws and errors with it.

I have brought rugby league live 3 on the PS3 doesn;t seem to have trophies on it are they only on PS4

I got it and i think its a very good and very playable game as is, better than RLL2 anyway which was already decent for a rugby game imo. The fan hub is fantastic where you can download great player likenesses and classic teams from yesteryear.Also be a pro where you create yourself, start as a youngster in the lower grades and work your way through the ranks.I am a 6"4" 19st prop playing for Hunslet.Had a couple of offers from SL clubs and Gold Coat Titans in NRL, not decided yet! Its done really well and is all iv'e been playing on so far.Its certainly not perfect yet,but a lot of the glitches will get patched and if few tweaks here or there are taken care This will end up being a great RL game.

Now I've given it more time it's certainly grown on me.

The gameplay is very different from RLL2 so it takes a lot of getting used too. Interchanges are definitely key, If you don't rotate the forwards properly you will get smashed. However at the same time the forwards don't tend to make many yards.

It's not perfect but it is an improvement and it's definitely the sort of sports game that you have to invest some time into to get used to it. The fan hub is really good and will make life a lot easier when it comes to roster updates etc.

Metal Gear Solid 5 is awesome

Never played the Uncharted games first time around but just got Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection on PS4. Anyone played it and know if the gameplay is still enjoyable or does it feel dated even with the reboot?
