You can actually get GamePass for a LOT less.  If you have no Gamepass subscription ongoing, just get Xbox Live (Gold), max up to 3 years, convert the whole thing for £1.

You can do this with a XBL from Brazil which is £28 a year, redeem with a VPN switched on. I did this back in April and have 3 years of GamePass valid for a total of £85.  That's a little more for the price of 1 AAA game and then a random indy game.

I haven't needed to pay for Gamepass Ultimate for a while, been earning enough with Microsoft reward points.

New FIFA is good. It's been a few years since I played an EA sports game, and it's nice to see they've come away from trying to make it super competitive and E-Sportsy, and turned it into what it should always have been - a straight-forward football sim designed to be easily accessible for both the casual and the hardcore gamer.

I've particularly been enjoying playing Ultimate Team, a mode formerly overrun by tryhards and "meta players" and designed for competitive ranked play, as part of a duo with a friend in co op mode. For the first time in a long time, FIFA is fun.

Well I met my friend Kris when I hung around Our Price annoying the staff about this album and that album when I was 17, and one day he was walking around town and said hi to him and I was like wanna hang out and he was like yea, and that was 20 years ago and he's like a brother to me.

My mate Chris I met on the first day of uni and he had an Akira patch on his bag and I had just been to HMV and had bought a Ghost in The Shell directors cut box set thing and I said, hey do you like manga? He said yea and and then we were like:

And that was that. I introduced Kris To Chris and now we're a power trio like Destiny's Child (I'm Beyonce, obvs). 

You can play with us if you want?

Anyone looking at getting the new Metroid game? It's been reviewed very well. 

bbill335

monquixote

I'm thinking about it. It certainly looks good.

I remember playing Metroid on N64 and it was my first Metroid game and I was blown away. I'd never seen dynamics like that before. I'm looking forward to this. 

bbill335

tbh much as I absolutely loved D" at the time, the remaster has made me realise that D3 is just better.,
