If you’ve followed me for the past few weeks you should know that I’ve come to own a Colossus. The Colossus is basically a HD-PVR (High Definition Personal Video Recorder) that you can use to record video footage from a source.

The game I used and will be using for this particular series of commentaries will be Fifa 12 on the PS3. Read on for the video. Continue reading

With that said, how does NSS 5 fair against the big guns? Continue reading
