Great looking bundle. I already own (and love) Disco Elysium. Might get it for Chivalry 2 though


Thanks for the reply! I definitely don’t have time in my life these days to go through all of that. Might just sit patiently and wait for the PC release of 16, or try my hand at 15 again. I’ve started it a couple of times but never get all that far before another game distracts me


I still don’t own FF7R as I never got into the original FF7 (started with FF8 as a kid and never went back to it). Is it worth picking up without the nostalgia?



I grew up in the 90s in the South West of England so I’m naturally a Manchester United fan ;)

Also a season ticket hold for my local team in Wales which is a great fun

[MailOnline] Peter Drury will become Sky Sports voice of the Premier League after Martin Tyler’s departure from the broadcaster after more than 30 years of service
Posting article so you don't have to give the Daily Mail your clicks: Peter Drury is to replace Martin Tyler at Sky Sports, Mail Sport can reveal. In what may well prove to be a popular move, the 55-year-old – currently the voice of the Premier League on US broadcaster NBC Sports – will become Sky’s main commentator after Tyler, 77, did not have his contract renewed. Drury, who began his broadcast career on local radio in Leeds in 1990, will continue to present for the US audience, it is understood. NBC is owned by Comcast, which also owns Sky. Popular with viewers, he is held in high regard by many and is viewed as a natural successor to Tyler, who departed after 33 years with Sky. An announcement is expected from Sky Sports in the near future. It is expected that Drury will focus on one game a week for the broadcaster, which would be on Sunday, Monday or midweek. Tyler, who covered numerous major tournaments and whose commentary on Sergio Aguero’s dramatic, title-winning goal for Manchester City in 2012 is one of the Premier League’s key moments, is not retiring. Gary Hughes, Sky Sports’ director of football said: ‘Everyone at Sky Sports would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Martin for his unparalleled contribution and dedication to our coverage over the last 30 years. “The Voice” will always be synonymous with the Premier League and Sky Sports. 'When you think of commentary, you think of Martin Tyler. “Collymore closing in” (from Liverpool’s 4-3 win over Newcastle in 1996) and “Aguerrrrrroooooooooo” are two of the greatest moments in Premier League history. 'We thank him and wish him all the very best for the future.’ Tyler was lead commentator on Sky Sports' flagship weekend show, Super Sunday, and featured prominently as well on other programmes - covering global events such as the Champions League, World Cup and European Championships for broadcasters in the US and Australia. Jamie Carragher, who regularly shared the commentary box with Tyler, and Premier League chief executive Richard Masters were among those to pay tribute to the iconic commentator following confirmation of his departure. Mail Sport exclusively revealed on Friday that Sky Sports had axed half of their football reporting team in a brutal cost-cutting exercise, with veteran interviewer Geoff Shreeves being asked to take a significant pay-cut. The rest of Sky's decisions have been made after a consultation over redundancies in April, with six of their 13-strong team of football reporters being cut, although some chose to go voluntarily and others may be offered alternative roles. Due to Sky Sports' cost cutting, experienced and well-respected journalists such as Guy Havord, Dickie Davis, Bianca Westwood, Greg Whelan, Lynsey Hooper and Jaydee Dyer will also not be continuing in their current roles. Emma Saunders appears to be the only female reporter to survive the cull, along with David Craig, Patrick Davidson, Jonathan Oakes, Johnny Phillips and Luke Shanley.
