    FFX is my favourite game of all time. The story is brilliant and it really knows how to get at you emotionally. If you can't shed a tear (you'll know when if you have played it) during FFX, then I doubt you have a soul.

    On the whole the story is well paced and a fantastic music score.

    [video=youtube;3bv1oNp_wJw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bv1oNp_wJw[/video]

    I know I am a sucker for saying this, but when the HD release of FFX comes out, then I will be buying it again. I don't have my PS2 anymore and it would be fantastic to play it again.

    Plus - Blitzball!

    I don't know if anyone has mentioned it on here but I'll do it anyways.

    Watch Dogs looks to be one of the top games this year. It looks like such a brilliantly created game with a really unique and good storyline to it. The whole premise of the character and the game is excellent. A must buy for me, and I don't buy much games

    Yeah the original was amazing! I've been waiting years for this, makes me wish I was still at Uni. Just had a two week holiday from work, so no more time off for me, will have to be patient and wait until tomorrow evening. It won't even let me install the hard copy yet off the disk, and waiting until midnight is no good with work tomorrow, pah!

    Cookie Clicker.

    Whoever designed this game will have a foot up their arse; I cannot get myself away from it. There's no point to the game except to click on a cookie and build a cookie empire.

    It's so addictive. And probably quite tactical on what you spend things on whether its better to save up for something good at a slower rate or invest in lesser things immediately and so the rate is faster. Weird.

    How are people finding RTW2? I'm playing the campaign a fair bit at the moment and its difficult. I have a whole region near Sicily rebelling and I have to wait 14 turns before the technology of plumbing is available to stop them.

    I've been taking it slowly. I'm playing as Sparta... taken a few territories but have Athens as an ally.

    I have 2 client states... one I literally just declared war on and they instantly sued for peace. The other I took a settlement, marched on their capital and they got **** scared. Both of their armies are actually quite big so I didn't mind, just a bit worried about whether they're going to turn on me.

    I had a few but they weren't paying me any money and it entangled me in a huge war where I lost half my empire.

    Pre-ordered. Don't think I'll be pre-ordering FIFA though. Just looks the exact same.

    I know this is bad, but I'm seriously considering keeping up-to-date with the Doncaster game via twitter. That is bad, but GTA V. A wait of five years! #tormented

    Getting FIFA 14 on PS3. Then whenever I get a PS4 I'll just get it on that.

    From what I've heard, you will be able to upgrade your games for something like £10 ... so not that bad

    Hoping I get it on Monday now too
