Max Payne 3. Great game, lots of style, good shooting... I guess that's all there is to be said! Close runner ups: Diablo 3, Civ V G&K.

You're my fucking hero right now. Battra, I have nothing against Christians in the general sense. My Religious Education teacher was a Christian, and he was one of my favourite teachers back in school. Parts of my family are Christian, we get along very well. What I do take issue with is Christian's who either follow their religion so blindly that they hate everything they're told to hate, or people who hide their misguided bigotry under the guise of following the good Lords words. Going back to my RE teacher, he was incredibly understanding of other peoples views and opinions and indeed, sexuality. Being the loud-mouthed teenagers we were in high school, some people made the point that they did not believe in God, and he was totally fine with that. He was also totally fine with the fact that he was teaching a group of diverse young people, some of which were homosexual, myself included, and he never once let that change his attitude towards me. He was a fantastic man and, in my eyes, a model Christian. Respectful, polite, understanding. There is no war on Christianity. There's a "war" (I use this in the very loosest sense) against bigotry. Unfortunately some people think their religion gives them the right to hold on to their misguided, frankly rather offensive views, and as Ethan very eloquently put, these barriers have just been broken down time and time again, and the homophobia barrier is no different.

In the later modes, depending on your class and build, sure. I'm on inferno, act 2 (but farming act 1) and am doing 10k damage as a primarily defensive monk, so an offensive Demon hunter or wizard would hit 17k easily Edit: Just noticed they're actually hitting 31k. A lot, but still not out of the question, considering they're a witch doctor (judging by the toolbar)

The facts of the matter are, while Blizzard made the game online only, they can't allow cheaters. It's kinda just that simple. Sure, had they not made it online only, then they could've done something for the cheaters, had they chose to, but they didn't and that's it. I don't reallyyyyy want to get involved in the "online vs. offline" debate of whether it was the right move or not. Far as I'm concerned, I don't care because I'm not a cheater, and it gives me opportunities like the auction house that I otherwise wouldn't have, or would have to risk being scammed through some dodgy outside the game trading. The reason this argument about the bans is going to go on FOREVER is because it boils back down to the original argument. Whether or not it was a good idea to make it online only. The simple truth of the matter is while the game is online only, yes, they should be banned from the entire game. If it had offline play, they should have been banned from multiplayer only, but it isn't that way and so them's the breaks, as it were. And as I said I don't really want to debate the offline/online thing too much, because I've seen it go around in circles forever.

It's in the TOS and they should have known they'd get caught. Tough shit, I say. Though I was pretty sure one of the reasons for always online was to prevent cheating and the like...

In case you lot don't like to read status' or whatever: Get a Steam version of Civ V: Gods and Kings for £15.30 using the code CIVGO-DSAND-KINGS athttp://www.greenmangaming.com/s/gb/en/pc/games/strategy/sid-meiers-civilization-v-gods-kings/

Art prints from littlewhitelies.co.uk, one of Ryan Gosling playing the driver in Drive, and the other of Michael Fassbender playing Brandon in Shame. So pretty <3

Certainly a highlight of the show for me so far. I just hope it's not scripted, looks almost too good to be true. I don't think the gunplay made the game any better or worse, it was just a thing, I guess. Seeing as, at a glance, it's a sort of Assassins Creed/Hitman-esque game, I don't think you'll get away without a bit of violence.

Best bundle so far in my opinion. I already have all but Sword and Sworcery though so I'm gonna give it a miss.

Boobs, maybe. Yeah must be like those leisure suit larry ps2 minigames right?

That seems like a fair opinion. The always online stuff admittedly isn't ideal but it does offer a lot of perks too... I do fear the day I might lose my internet connection or something but I do like being able to quick join my friends whenever. I do like being able to have the same characters in single player that I have in multiplayer. As for actual server issues, I really can't see that happening again except for maybe any launches of expansion packs that might happen... It had its zerg rush (heh) of players during launch and that's it.

It was quite clearly a candid photo! I didn't even know it was being taken

It's kinda old but what the hell. I look so messy!

Heh, it did take fifteen hours, and of course, there's all the other difficulty levels to tackle which promises better loot. I'll be playing this game for some time yet

Me and Johnny just completed the game together. Both of us agree that this game is incredible. I'm gonna be hopping into Nightmare mode any time now. I played the Monk and had a blast. He sort of feels like a quicker, more precise Barbarian. Less AOE and plain destruction than the barbarian but still a lot of damage to be done, especially with the right passive abilities (I made dexterity contribute to my armour rating and then just gemmed the fuck out of all my equipment, ended up with about 300+ damage rating just through all that)

The art style reminds me of another game in the MMO genre..... Conscious decision?
