Batman
Just completed Batman AO and I thought it was thoroughly enjoyable. I didn't do the side missions as I wanted to get into AC4 which I do do the vast majority of and immerse myself fully into the game. That and COD is out soon, it's a shame they release it so close to bigger games as I would love to do it all but I know…

As I understand it I have to put all my current data on an external hard drive, then replace the SATA hard drive with my new one, then transfer the data from the external drive to the newly installed one. Question: why do I need to use an external hard drive why can't I just connect my original SATA hard drive to my ps3…
Battlefield 4 help please
My OH is driving me up the wall with Battlefield 4. He's only started playing it today and he's stuck already. Ranting and moaning and carrying on. Can anyone tell me what he needs to do to "mark targets"? He says he's pressed every button on the controller and none work. I've googled it but no luck. EDIT: Sorry, forgot to…
