But Microsoft wont promote a search engine ahead of there own.

Has any of you got Fight Night Champion? Better or worse than 4?

I've got it and I like it - I can't compare it to 4 though as I didn't get that one. Champion mode is great, although pretty hard/impossible towards the end. Legacy mode improves its longevity and the online mode is entertaining, but you get the usual morons who just exploit the little bugs, such as only going for body shots to quickly wear you down. And also, the boxers barely cut or even bruise. I think it was patched because they cut too easily, but now its gone in the other direction.

If you can find it for a good price (which you probably can now i.e. £20) then get it.

As big boxing fan id say its ok - Champion mode is good (slightly unrealistic) but I did enjoy it.
Legacy mode is better than on the others as its definately not as easy to pick up all the belts etc. and the training modes are also far far better.
Cant say ive played it online - but if people are exploiting bugs etc. then what is the point in them even playing it?

If its cheap enough then buy it.

Thanks for that. Indeed, it is only £18 now so will probably give it a go.

Tempted to go trade mw3 and Unchared 3 in, but I aint sure what to get back? Only can really think of AC:R?

I enjoyed it just like I did the previous games, but wouldn't play the campaign through again. Multiplayer isn't for me though, only had one go on that.

SR3 to me looks complete bab to me.

Dark souls

As we're at the time of year, what's been everybody's favourite game of the year?

I expect to see a lot of Skyrim, but my favourite game has probably been Marvel vs. Capcom 3/Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Think the game adds such a fun approach to a genre that doesn't appeal to many any more, but it's still so complex and 'deep'. I've grown tired of gaming over the years, so I found it quite odd that I've found a lot of joy out of one of the oldest genres out there. Street Fighter and Marvel are such good games and the community is really fun, yet still has the 'old skool' element about it.

Dark Souls or Limbo on Ps3

FIFA 12 has been my most played game, due to my obsession with my bronze ultimate team!

Wish I could play the new Zelda though, I bet its quality.

Dark Souls or Portal 2.

What a masterpiece Skyrim is. Picked it up for £20 last week and been glued to it ever since. As a fantasy RPG it's the type of game I usually steer well clear of but the combat is brilliant and the storyline superb.

As for game of the year it can only be Portal 2. By far the best game I've ever played and Valve through in a free DLC. Only game I've ever been sad enough to get the 1000GS on. Gears of War 3 was a decent finish to the trilogy but not on the same level as Portal 2.

What about letdown of the year? For me it has to be Arkham City. I adored the first Batman game. It was clever and featured such a wide range of puzzles yet this one just seemed incredibly repetitive. Most of the game was spent travelling around the roof tops rather than getting stuck into the action. Oh and it had a rather annoying knack of losing game saves. I lost 3 and I know of others who traded it in off the back of it just losing saves.

Personally I quite like it, it's more story orientated and mature than say WoW for instance. The whole thing is voice acted and it feels like a much deeper experience.

That said there are a few bugs and what not to iron out, but to be honest every MMO has these when launched.

It's broken 1m subscribers in only a couple of days - record breaking in the genre, so i'm quite hopeful, it's just up to Bioware to sort out the issues asap to stop people drifting off.
