It's amazing how stacked October used to be. Now it's almost barren. As for AC: Unity, a 2 week delay isn't much to worry about. That just means I can spend more time with Sunset Overdrive. Now if THAT game gets delayed....
@TOMBOY25 That does seem to be the pattern. I'm just not entirely sure it's the best decision when compared to the six fresh games available EVERY month on PS Plus.
@Emanouel the Ultra Edition gets you everything: all 8 fighters, costumes, classic KI2, etc.
For those that don't purchase the ultra edition, they get TJ Combo and Maya right off the bat. A new fighter will be available to download for $4.99 each month.
@Emanouel Super Mario 3D World is an absolute must play, especially if you loved 3D Land. It's an awesome single player experience but also a thrilling multiplayer one too. Whatever you do, don't pass this one up.
I too, grew tired of New Super Mario Bros 2. mostly because it was just too similar to the DS one.
I'm away from my Xbox One at the moment, but I'll add you as a friend as soon as I can.
@Emanouel 100% agree with you on Nintendo. I really don't understand why Nintendo can't offer a "Nintendo Pass" as well — a monthly subscription to access all classic Nintendo games on WiiU and 3DS. That would be amazing!
@Emanouel The games won't be streamed, but downloaded to your HD. This is a pretty great move by EA. If the service will allow users to play recent games and not just old ones, then this could be a home run for them.
@DRL You seem to be on a trophy-kick as of late. Not sure if you knew this already, but if you got the platinum for Sound Shapes already on Vita, you'll get all the trophies unlocked when you boot up the PS3 version too. 2 separate platinums for one game!
@Dohv if your console is set to standby mode then yes, the update could have downloaded and installed for you already. Easiest way to find out is to double-press the Xbox home button and see if the snap window appears
Can't to see this. I know someone who went to E3 who saw this behind closed doors and they said it was one of the best gameplay demos they've ever seen.
@MinecraftGreek the Halo collection will run at 60fps and 1080p, that was confirmed on stage on Monday. Nothing has been said about the resolution or framerate for Halo 5. I would assume that Microsoft will push for 1080p60
@Gamer83 Glad you liked the review. Yeah there's sooo much stuff to do, but at the same time it doesn't feel overwhelming. Everything is attainable and fun to play. Definitely looking forward to what's next for this franchise.
@DRL That is the question, isn't it? Like PS Plus, I don't think we're gonna get any AAA titles for free as of yet. They'll go through the rounds of smaller or indie titles first.
I predict Crimson Dragon or LocoCycle will be next.
@Generik The leaked seven minute trailer doesn't look bad at all. I think Visceral is a very talent team and I think it'll be good for the franchise to have a separate developer tackle the single player. DICE is still in charge of the multiplayer.
Never played either game on Xbox 360. I've heard these games are severely underrated and having an updated version on X1 appeals to me. I might have to check this out.

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Multiplayer Officially Revealed
Very cool! I wonder if the multiplayer component will seamlessly blend into the single-player like Watch Dogs did.
Re: Microsoft Grants Indie Developers Free Access to Unity Engine
@Emanouel nothing was mentioned about that on the blog. I'm assuming devs wants have to wait too long though.
Re: Gamescom 2014: Killer Instinct Returns For a Second Season on Oct 15th

Re: Neon Shooting Happy Time Is Back - Geometry Wars 3 Is Now Confirmed for Xbox One, Xbox 360
Is this exclusive to Xbox or will it be coming to other platforms too?
Re: Gamescom 2014: Ubisoft Confirms The Crew Will Hit 360
Very surprised there's no PS3 version coming.
Re: Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition Gets October Date With Xbox One
Everyone should already have Sleeping Dogs on 360 from Games with Gold.
If you missed it, then this is hands down the ultimate version to get. Loved this game!
Re: Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Reveal Trailer Released
This looks and sounds really cool. Playing as a Templar and battling Assassins in the arctic has me very excited to play this too.

Very excited for Gamescom this year. Can't wait to see more footage of Quantum Break.

@Emanouel awesome! Please let us know how everything goes.

Re: Games With Gold for August Have Been Announced
Purchased a 2TB drive the other day for my Xbox One. Should be good for a long while!
Re: Season 3 of the Walking Dead is Confirmed
Going to wait for season two to conclude before playing through it all. But this is great news so far. Telltale is on a roll!
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty
@DRL You seem to be on a trophy-kick as of late. Not sure if you knew this already, but if you got the platinum for Sound Shapes already on Vita, you'll get all the trophies unlocked when you boot up the PS3 version too. 2 separate platinums for one game!
Re: BioWare States that You've Been Chosen
@PeTitosaurus Shadow Realms. I believe this is a collaboration between BioWare and Failbetter Games.
Re: Xbox One July System Update Now Available
@Dohv if your console is set to standby mode then yes, the update could have downloaded and installed for you already. Easiest way to find out is to double-press the Xbox home button and see if the snap window appears
Re: Review: Outlast (Xbox One)
@DRL Playing the game in small doses is probably recommended. Thankfully, the save system is kind too.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Seventeen
@BadWolf09 I'll have my review up really soon! If you're a fan of horror games, you owe it to yourself to check it out
Re: Destiny Beta Launching Late July on Xbox One and Xbox 360
Missed out on the alpha because I don't have a PS4 yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to the beta now!
Re: Guacamelee! Debuts For Free on Xbox One As Part Of Games With Gold
This is excellent news! Was gonna buy this anyway but now I can spend my $14.99 elsewhere. Games With Gold keeps getting better and better.
Re: Sniper Elite 3 Gets Massive 10GB Day One Patch on Xbox One
@Generik Indeed. But let's not forget Dead Rising 3's 19GB patch that came out shortly after it launched.
Re: Watch 30 Minutes of Metal Gear Solid V Gameplay Right Here, Right Now
@DRL have you played any of the past games before and was the stealth gameplay what turned you off?
Re: Sixty Second Shooter Prime and Outlast Launch on Xbox One Today
I love these stealth releases from indies. Keep 'em coming
Re: New Metal Gear Solid V Gameplay Demo Coming Tomorrow
Can't to see this. I know someone who went to E3 who saw this behind closed doors and they said it was one of the best gameplay demos they've ever seen.
Re: Games With Gold Gets Refreshed Today With Two Free Games
@Tamalesyatole I believe your Gold membership needs to be on a 1 year subscription to take advantage of GWG.
Re: Rumour: Batman Says Arkham Knight Coming January 2015
Well, let's hope so. That E3 gameplay demo was jaw dropping. Can't wait to play this!
Re: This Week's Deals With Gold Cuts Tomb Raider, Strider in Half
Excellent deals with week! Definitely grabbing Strider and Max Payne 3 to add to my digital collection.
Re: Weirdness: Microsoft TV Advert Can Command Your Xbox One
"Technology, bitch!"
This is pretty funny
Re: Rumour: Payday 2 Escaping to Xbox One?
Looks like this has been confirmed now; Called Payday 2: Crimewave Edition
Re: Rumour: Is Outlast Breaking Out Onto the Xbox One?
@DRL I hear it's nuts with VR support! I can't wait to try it
Re: E3 2014: You'll Be Playing The Halo 5 Beta Right Before the Year Ends
@MinecraftGreek You're right! If multiplayer will run at 60fps, that's a strong indicator the whole game will run at 60fps when it ships.
Re: E3 2014: You'll Be Playing The Halo 5 Beta Right Before the Year Ends
@MinecraftGreek the Halo collection will run at 60fps and 1080p, that was confirmed on stage on Monday. Nothing has been said about the resolution or framerate for Halo 5. I would assume that Microsoft will push for 1080p60

Re: Review: Watch_Dogs (Xbox One)
@JaredJ it's a definite possibility, and I'm sure the sequel is already in the works after the strong sales numbers.
Re: More Than 45 New Apps Headed to Xbox One and Xbox 360
Canada is pretty much screwed over yet again here. Only 10 apps for my home country. shakes head
Re: Games With Gold On Xbox One Has Officially Begun
@DRL That is the question, isn't it? Like PS Plus, I don't think we're gonna get any AAA titles for free as of yet. They'll go through the rounds of smaller or indie titles first.
I predict Crimson Dragon or LocoCycle will be next.
Re: Homefront: The Revolution to Launch on Xbox One in 2015
I wasn't all that big on the first Homefront but with CryTek behind the sequel, this one has big potential.
Re: Mortal Kombat X Announced
Such a bad ass trailer too! I liked MK9 a lot even though I wasn't very good at it, but I'm eager to see more from NetherRealm.
Re: Taking Screenshots on Xbox One Planned for Future System Update
@PeTitosaurus I'd say the latter. Lol
Re: Battlefield: Hardline Due To Take Aim At Xbox One, Xbox 360
@Generik The leaked seven minute trailer doesn't look bad at all. I think Visceral is a very talent team and I think it'll be good for the franchise to have a separate developer tackle the single player. DICE is still in charge of the multiplayer.
Re: Review Round-Up: Watch Dogs
@Gamer83 Very appreciated! I started the game this morning and will be playing it ALL day tomorrow. Gonna try and have the review up this weekend.
Re: PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures 2 Scaring Onto Xbox 360 in October
I bet you're anxious to review this one too, right Ken?
Re: Ubisoft Teases E3 Line-Up
Fantastic! Ubisoft's E3 conferences are fairly cringe-worthy but the games being shown make it worthwhile. Can't wait for June 9th!
Re: Far Cry Compilation Arriving on Xbox 360 in July
So this is the first time it's coming to 360 then? This has been out on PS3 for awhile now.
Re: Metro Redux Detailed For Xbox One
Never played either game on Xbox 360. I've heard these games are severely underrated and having an updated version on X1 appeals to me. I might have to check this out.
