Can PC players join Xbox lobbies? If so, does anyone want a game now?

Unfortunately that's not possible. They need to figure a way to do that. All you can do is play v each other through matchmaking - either way, at work anyway

That's my problem, I tend to only play solo, even in double. Sometimes partner up with a random if we seem to suit each others games.

Playing on console, my heart sinks everytime I'm put into a game with 5 PC players. Just know it's so much more difficult. It's quite funny when it's 3 console v 3 PC players. Feels like there's extra riding on it.

I had the same problem, I'm achieving the same rank as last year on doubles now, but only in prospect elite on the two 3 v 3 ranks.

OK I'm on my TV news rant again but last night on BBC news, the story about the kids missing in Wales was "More than 20 children have gone missing in Wales". There were 26 kids. That was a fact.

Why do they have to say "more than 20" when everyone knew the number was 26. It's not even quicker to say.

Why pretend you don't know how many there are?

That's similar to them always saying "so-called Islamic State". If that's what they call themselves, that's what they are. Or do we all support "so-called Derby County"?

Thank Christ, I enjoy 3v3 but you can search ranked 3v3 both solo and normal and often you can get like 900 players in there. End up having to play doubles with randomers as that seems to be the only ranked with decent numbers.

Overwatch is out tonight.

just debating whether to get it with a voucher I have for Game.

Division update 1.2 out tomorrow too with new Incursion and High Value Targets being introduced.

finally hit level 30 in the division, took forever... guess it's my own fault for not targeting the side missions more. I kept doing encounters and redoing mission levels on harder difficulty etc, when the XP gains weren't as good as completing the side missions.

Fine if true.

Considering the amount of time I'll likely put into the game, I'll get the value out of it. The bigger worry to me would be that we might not get the other 10 at all.

Not a single chance. Chance to make money they will give it you. Which is pretty much all cod is these days. Cash cow.

Everything except the last 20 seconds looks like total garbage. Thank goodness they've got their final 'get out of jail free' 20 second teaser at the end....

10 out of 20 maps... Aka give us some money and we will drip feed you the rest. 

looks absolutely *****.

Just never replay Goldeneye

Nostalgia is a bitch. Never lives up to your memories.

Some really nice updates to Rocket League

Hoops gamemode is a lot of fun, very technical. Have the ability to auto save a replay, press the bound button when something cool happens and the replay will autosave with a timestamp for when you pressed the button, can rename replays too.

After showing the instant replay of a goal, the camera now locks into the car that scored it - so... you can celebrate!

Hoops needs a few tweaks to me, don't like just how small the court is, including the ceiling. Hoop seems a bit too big too, especially for the size of the court.

Out of interest, are there any local co-op games for the Xbox One? 

Or is that just not the done thing anymore?

Isn't really the done thing. Are you talking split-screen?

2K have lost the project lead from the previous Mafia games, since he left to form Warhorse Studios. I'll definitely give Mafia 3 a look though. I can't really tell from the screenshot, is the protagonist a Vietnam veteran? I always find I prefer games set in the past.

Yeah...

"The game takes place in the year of 1968, and revolves around Lincoln Clay, a biracial orphan and Vietnam veteran. As an orphan, he was constantly looking for a family, until he joined the armed forces and fought in the Vietnam War. After the war he returned to New Orleans, and joins "The Black Mob". After surviving a murder attempt by the Italian mob, Clay attempts to start his own criminal organization and get revenge.[7] Clay is aided by three allies, which include Cassandra, Burke, and Vito Scaletta.[5]"

Count me sold (18+ video guys)

Looks amazing.

Never played any Mafia games, have a friend who's a fan though

played the second on PS3, never finished it as it wasn't my console, but I was very very impressed. Think with a few tweaks it could be great. Really good at immersing you in the world. It sits in that GTA/Saints Row world but occupies a more serious and story driven space for me, that said, not totally sure what the main selling points of the new one are. Definitely will be getting it though.

all over this when it's out. fantastic, underrated game series.

Zombieland (2009)

Not sure how this one escaped me until last Saturday but I enjoyed it. A good cast (Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg) and entertaining zombie road trip storyline with a very good cameo apppearance from Bill Murray thrown in.

9/10

pretty sure a number 2 has recently been announced

These are the things I'm on about.. How do they work? 

You mod them onto pieces of gear (like mask, back pack etc) just like you would your weapons... but not all pieces of gear can actually be modded. Took me to like level 20 before I found one with a mod slot available.

Stick to the lower level npc areas, chances are, you'll be in a session with players similar level to you or no one at all. In the times I've been in the DZ (I'm probably DZ level 12 or something), I've only seen one person I wasn't matchmade into a party with, and I don't think the guy even saw me.

It isn't really a mission. You don't do anything when u get there

Yeah, been in a fair bit. Couple of times I've walked through the door and straight into the massive Cleaner types 

Usually fine if you go in the right sections, because obviously they're all levelled differently.

Not sure who's on Xbox, but I jumped into @Walsall_Ram game uninvited the other day... think he was level 5 or something.
