Or perhaps Wales are.

I hadn't played Persona 3 before and decided to wait for Reload. I'm still in the early stages and it's the usual Persona formula so far. I'm hoping the story picks up before long.

England looking good for the wooden spoon here.

Tremendous start for Ireland.

It looks as though VII Rebirth will get a free demo prior to launch. It would make sense if it were released on Tuesday because that's when the dedicated State of Play showcase will take place.

Are you trying to say that a Joker cosplayer fighting sword-wielding robots with a magic guitar isn't immediately comprehensible?

Oh, brilliant. More slow walking through tar while Hideo Kojima's overwritten characters ramble on. Actually, I really liked Death Stranding. I'm completely aware of how unappealing it is to many people, though. And it has a little talking monkey Guillermo Del Toro toy. I'm on board.

A first-person game in the Silent Hill universe shadow dropped for free? Let's hope that's not as cursed as the last one. I remember saying years ago that Metro would be a great series for a VR game. If only I had several hundreds of pounds spare.

I no longer care about any of the other games here. A Dave the Diver/Godzilla crossover is all I need.

This starts at the times stated in the thumbnail, plus 10pm GMT.

In fairness, the combat in the original wasn't the best around, but the rest did a lot of the heavy lifting.

Forest also seem to be about to bring in 18-year-old Rodrigo Ribeiro from Sporting on loan, which is probably a Mendes signing. When Nuno was at Wolves, Forest were also working quite closely with Mendes, but they were getting all the worst players he could flog. I hope they can bring in some sensible signings without overspending again, especially with the FFP penalty looming. Sam Johnstone on loan has also been mentioned.

There's also an extended gameplay stream on now. I saw a whole section of combat and it looked really repetitive.

Don't worry. Those who bought the early access version have been gifted £16 worth of in-game currency as compensation. You know, because paying £100 for a game means you still don't get all the content now.

You're far from the only person who thinks that. I've seen people who have avoided buying games altogether for that reason and opting for a different platform.

It seems to be getting positive reviews all round. One of the complaints I've seen is that it's easier than the original, but that isn't a problem for me at all.

It turns out that the Visions of Mana listing was an error and it isn't coming to Game Pass after all.

No sites have been given review codes ahead of release, which, aside from the Doom reboot in 2016, is normally not a great sign.

A State of Play showcase will take place on Wednesday. Stellar Blade and Rise of Ronin are the only two confirmed participants so far, but the show will last around 40 minutes and include "more than 15 games heading to PS5 and PSVR2". Death Stranding 2 seems likely as the subtitle was apparently leaked a few days ago, and a prominent leaker mentioned a multiplayer FPS called Concord.

BBC might like a Blackburn/Newcastle match for the Alan Shearer factor.

My main memories of his performances were in Hang Tough, which he was statistically very good at (thanks to @Chris2K). Viper, however, has been beaten easily twice in Gauntlet and lost in three seconds in Duel. He's been a complete jobber Gladiator so far.

It's quite hard to buy Viper as a villain because we've only seen him get beaten easily. Wolf used to win most of the time, which made it more special when a contender beat him.

Maidstone are two wins away from Wembley.

I'd say it's the biggest since Lincoln's run to the quarter-finals.

They've done it. Bring on a massive Premier League away day now.
