FIFA Apology Rules!

FIFA Tournament with your mates? Make it more interseting with "Apology Rules".

These rules have been conjoured up by the FIFA community and spread through the FIFA 12 Apology Rules Facebook Page which can be found here !

First rule of FIFA, you lose and face the consequences!

Lose by the following and face up to the forfeit;
...
5 - Write a letter to your opponent praising them for their brilliance.

6 - You must act as though your opponent is God the next time you see him.

7 - You must make your opponent a certificate explaining how he beat you by seven goals and played so well.

8 - You must be the slave of your opponent for an hour.

9 - You write a letter to your family explaining how you have let them down and are an embarrassment to the family.

10 - You must send a Moonpig apology to your opponent explaining why it happened and how it'll never happen again.

11 - You write a letter to the queen explaining why your opponent deserves a knighthood.

12 - You must play the next game fully naked in the living room.

13 - You have to go to your next door neighbours and start describing the game in its full detail, minute, by minute and where fundamentally you went wrong, if they shut the door move on to the next house and pick up where you left off.

14 - The person must wear a custom t-shirt, designed by the winner, it must have on the back, " I lost by 14 on Fifa 12 " on the front, it can have what ever the winner desires. The loser must then walk around town explaining to 14 different people why they have lost so badly and get them to sign the t-shirt. A picture must then be uploaded to facebook with the T-shirt on for further abuse.

15 - You must send a letter to EA explaining in great detail why you lost by 15 goals and how they should make a special version of Fifa for people like you.

20 - You are not allowed to play FIFA 12, ever, ever, EVER again.

The rule that MY personal friends and I play is that we press the 'randomise' button 13 times, whatever team you land on, you keep. FOr instance i may get Real Madrid, while my opponent will get Nottingham Forest.

Another rule that we play is that you may only score 'jew goals' when you have the weaker or worse team.

FIFA Tournament coming tonight ! Stay Tuned !

Halo 4, the next trilogy begins when the world ends, 2012

To call yourself a "gamer" and not played and of the Halo games is just plain wrong. But, for all you no hopers that have missed out on arguably the greatest video game franchise of all time, you will get a chance to start your passion for the master chief by purchasing Halo: Combat Evolved which has been redeveloped for the newer consoles. Then, eventually come to playing the new blockbuster that is, Halo 4.

The trailer itself doesn't give away to much without exciting us geeks out there just a little. 343 Industries have cleverly release this trailer early to get all of us to go out and buy combat evolved and renew our passion, or catch up on what has happened in the world of 'Chief'. To see the trailer and find more information, click here.

What we know so far ! 

  

• Release is set for late this year!
• Not being made by Bungie, who made 1-3.
• Cortana will feature
• Master Chief will feature.
• Cortana goes 'crazy'.
• Once again, it will be the covenant against humanity.
• It remains to be seen whether the Elites will feature on the side of humanity, but i think its safe to say they will.
• In the the trailer Master Chief seems to be more lightweight and lighter on his feet, but this is probably due to the fact he is in space, but still is an interesting observation.

Stay tuned to this blog for more information on up coming games!



Quade Cooper vs Ranga in FIFA 12!

For months and months, the wallabies and queensland reds superstar has been playing all of his twitter followers and few have prevailed, and last night i was given the opportunity to verse him. It was extremely late, but however i didnt want to miss the opportunity to whoop his arse.

When he tweeted me back, i got the feeling of uncontrollable excitment, that I was finally getting the chance to verse someone of his stature. Twitter has become a new link between famous, and average joes.

When the match started, my hands were sweating and i struggled to hold the controller and had goosebumps running up and down my body, and i started really well.

As the first half rolled on Quade gained more momentum and had a lot of chances to break the deadlock. But, my defence held strong.

As we got into the second half, his players became more fatigued and then i started getting my own opportunities.  I came close with a strike from ramires, but it was pushed wide by Iker Casillas.

As the game drew to a close, I had a chance close range with drogba, but i hit the post and it was cleared by Sergio Ramos.

The game drew closer and closer to the end and it seamed like a stalemate that was going no-where.

When the whistle went for fulltime i was hoping he would want to verse me in a rematch. Which he did, and to my delight we both picked the same teams me, being Chelsea and Quade being Real Madrid.

In the second match Quade seemed to be playing a better type of game and risking his hand more. Just before the first half he scored with a reletively simple goal with Mesut Ozil and he led the game going into the break.

The second half rolled around and i started to come closer and closer to that elusive goal that i so desperatley wanted. When i finally struck that pot of gold through the form of ramires.

My celebration was so loud it woke my entire family up at around midnight. The game finished and the result was still undecided in regards to who the better player was.

The next day i woke up to a tweet from Quade stating "Play this guy at fifa hes very good. Shall play tomorrow sir we need a reult."

We still, havent had that final match. More to come!

Assassins Creed 3, on its way!

You like being the stealthy guy? Sneaking up on enemies? Lurking in the shadows? Then you should be getting excited for Assassins Creed 3 now! The trailer has instilled a fresh feeling in the series and is leaving all the fans wanting more from ubisoft. Here's the trailer!

So far we know that:

• Its in North America.
• Its in the 18th Century.
• Its during a period when the americans were fighting the british.
• A new character.
• Whole new storyline from Ezio and Altair.
• It will be on 360, PS3 and PC.
• Looking like a late October release date.

The long running series is sure to have fans mouths watering, and it will be a long wait for the diehard fan.

So, for now we wait until the next piece of juicy info is released!

Sim City. A New Era in Gaming!

Sim City 5 is finally confirmed! But, there's a catch. The 5th installment of the epic series wont be released until next year at the least. With the announcment and a trailer, it leaves us wondering why so early? Maybe because there has been a long time between drinks and EA just want to give us little sips from the water bottle that is Sim City. If you havent seen the trailer, here it is.

With previous editions being reasonably good games, this game will have astronomical expectations, and the trailer only heightens those expectations.

One down point of the trailer is at the end it says "images not representative of actual gameplay" so it leaves us with a bitter taste in our mouth, for now.

On the upside the detail in the trailer gives hope that some of the detail will be carried into the game itself, but i'll reserve my judgment until then.

With no confirmation on whether or not the game will make it too consoles or just PC's. But one thing is for sure, it will be a masive seller for EA and only time will tell us other information about the game!

Have you ever tried to figure out why they leave it so long in between games? The answer is to build that 'need' for a new game. Thats what EA has done here, and doing a great job at it as well.
