    This thread is intended to provide chat to whatever game(s) you're playing currently on the Xbox One or 360. To discuss the games in a lot more detail please head on over to the Games forum, otherwise, chat away here :)

    Edit (25/9/14) - I think it might be a good idea to expand the scope of this thread, by including All multiplayer gaming organisation - so users looking to organise online matches together etc can use this thread to do so. Plus, we can use it for gaming recommendations too. So yeah, anything & everything Xbox games related goes here

    Only have Titanfall and Battlefield 4, for the Xbox One.

    Big BF fan though, so will be playing that until I pick up the last COD on the cheap and (hopefully) the Halo remasters and Destiny later in the year.

    Titanfall

    Getting back into Fifa 14 (had been playing the Be a Pro season, because it was a pain to get an online match, now it's easier to get online matches I might get back into that).

    Super Time Force and Wolfenstein , finally some new games :)

    I would thoroughly recommend both. The humour and retro looks in STF are excellent and well worth it from the US store as it works out at just over €10.

    Picked up Titanfall and Plants VS Zombies: Garden Warfare this week.

    Titanfall - I'm really struggling with it, it's lots of fun but I am literally getting killed in 30-40 seconds after respawning most times. Then when I get my titan, I'm being rodeo'd within seconds and I have no means of getting the enemy pilot off me.

    I'll persevere! PvZ: GW has been loads of fun, I recommend picking this one up if you can find it cheapish.

    Im playing Titanfall and Trials fusion a bit at the moment

    @ funkyflea, add me to your friends list and jump in if you see me in a party, you'll meet a few of the regulars that way. its a lot handier when your teammates are communicating and watching each others backs. It also drives the opposition mad when they get titan punched whilst rodeoing.

    Have Ghosts,Forza,BF4,Fifa and Peggle 2

    Only really play Forza (All I do is drift online,if anyone wants to join me ) :) and started playing ghosts properly today .

    I will be getting Titanfall and a few more games over the summer as I'll have more free time .

    I find in hard to play Xbox with no one to play with/talk to,hence why I rarely play Fifa,BF4,Ghosts

    All my IRL friends still only have a 360 so I'm used coaxed back to playing that.

    If anyone wants to add me my GT is nanook5 :D

    Have FIFA, NBA2K14, Forza 5, Battlefield 4 and Titanfall.

    Only playing FIFA and NBA at the moment. Forza I play in patches and do still really enjoy is, Battlefield is a total mess of a game which I will trade in very shortly, and after being addicted to Titanfall for the first 3/4 weeks of its release I haven't played it since and have absolutely no desire to.

    Debating whether or not I will get into Watch Dogs, next 100% day one purchase is UFC, then might be tempted by Destiny and will almost certainly give COD Advanced Warfare a shot.

    Just picked up an XBone on Friday. Playing mostly Titanfall, great fun and starting to get the hang of it. Little bit of Forza career mode, have yet to try online. Also have Thief but I think that is going to have to wait a while before I crack into it

    Gone back to playing Titanfall the last couple of days. Hadn't really played it much since picking up NBA2k14 a few weeks ago.

    I tend to drift between all the games I have at the minute.
    Awaiting delivery of Watch Dogs so if any one wants to add me on live my GT is the same as my username.

    Playing Fifa, NBA, Forza, Titanfall, DR3 (not sure If I have any others :D )

    Guacamelee. Love it.

    Just traded in Titanfall and AC4. Neither were the games I was hoping them to be. I actually have no discs for my XB1.

    Slowly making my way through Oblivion, never played it before and enjoyed Skyrim so I picked it up on the cheap. It's a bit dull a lot of the time tbh, since I played Skyrim I've played The Witcher games, both Dragon Ages, all Mass effect games and all the Souls games so my expectations of an RPG have changed a bit. Going back to an Elder Scrolls game after all of those feels like a pretty shallow experience.

    I found Guacamelee rage inducing at times, mainly down to controls and movement not being responsive enough during some of the more difficult platforming sections.

    Equally I found ground zeros frustrating for similar reasons , controls just didn't feel right to me.

    Mainly a mixture right now of Watch Dogs/COD Ghosts/GTA V . Saw Ghosts pretty cheap so i thought i'd take a stab at it. usually i'm fairly good at the COD games but i swear to god i die so fast in this and so much its crazy.

    Didn't enjoy it all. I came to it right from playing Strider so I was slightly biased in terms of what a metroid-vania done well should be like.

    I haven't played the newest strider game so I can't compare, but the art style, music and 'feel' of the platforming is all very well done imo. I like all the references to other games as well (look at the posters in the town's).

    Wolfenstein is very good in my opinion.

    Trying to get it out of the way so I can start Ryse. Also Picked up The Bureau - Xcom for 4.50 in the xtravision sale.

    Tomb Raider is great. Make sure you play it on hard though, it's a very easy game.

    Started Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning the last few days. Pretty enjoyable so far, liking it more than Oblivion anyway. The combat is really good.

    Try work your way through the achievements in Tomb Raider too, that should keep you going longer. I enjoyed a few games of Max: The curse of brotherhood today, has anyone played outlast? I am hoping that will come up on games with gold at some stage.

    It's definitely intriguing. I'm waiting on Need for Speed to come into the EA Vault, any day now :D I also kind of like the look of The Golf Club but unsure about it still. Really looking forward to Forza Horizon 2 for some reason even tho I didn't even get the last one :p

    I've been playing a little on PC. Mainly The Walking Dead recently. I bought Sniper Elite 3 for Xbox tho a couple weeks ago but just need to find time to get into it properly and get as close to 100% as possible. Its just Im not in the mood for that type game right now so still looking at others. Watching Diablo 3 on twitch right now and the more I look at it the more I like it but I'm still a little "on the fence" about it...

    Picked up ryse in hmv galway for 24.99 euro tuesday, also dead rising 3 was the same price. Gamestop were charging 29.99 euro for ryse. Been waiting 8 months to play ryse and can't say I'm disappointed, great game.
