Joy Ride Turbo is worth a try if you have kids, and even though it already looks a bit repetitive already, I'm willing to give The Wild At Heart a try. Like the shark game.
Not much else for me here. Happily, a friend and I just discovered Sniper Elite 4 on Game Pass is a lovely, lovely online coop game.
Yes, I remember reviewing this for the Dutch Xbox Magazine at the time and being pleasantly surprised. Never expected this to be good, but it's a really neat game.
Also curious how they will handle all of the EV's coming out on the market right now. I mean, if $65000 can get you a Kia EV6 with a 0-60 mph sprint in 3,5 seconds... that imbalances price-to-performance ratio quite a bit.
That's good news. I really hope the newsfeed from friends' achievements comes back, I kept opening the app just to see which achievements my brother and friends got.
I really advice against ReCore as your Zelda alternative - what a dull, uninspired, wacky playing game that is. Furthermore, a very comprehensive list actually - including the brilliant CrossCode!
And still is a special kind of love. Every weekend 4 up to 8 friends would gather with two Xbox's and beers, to play Blood Gulch capture the flag 4 vs 4 locally. Fantastic stuff.
'Could we do something like Rocket League, like so many have tried before, even though they all failed? With splashy colors, sports arenas and a lack of truly original ideas?'

Re: Netflix Is Reportedly Looking To Expand Into Video Games
This is a Go Big Or Go Home situation.
Wait... does this shed new light on the 'A UbiSoft original' approach?
Re: Woah, These Absolutely Gorgeous Psychonauts 2 Screenshots Have Us Very Excited
I'm loving the first game more than I did back in the days. So much originality!

Re: To Celebrate Shrek's 20th Anniversary, Let's Look Back At That Awful Original Xbox Launch Game
Still... it played better than any 3D Sonic game ever.
Aaaaand... I just remembered all the timed-based missions combined with those controls.
Nevermind.

Re: Gallery: 343 Shows Off New Halo Infinite Concept Art
Looks like a Warthog for bigger travelling distances. So hope the Infinite-map will prevail quality over quantity...
Re: These 10+ Games Are Coming To Xbox This Week (May 10-14)
Hood seems pretty nice. Just wish it had a coop campaign instead of only PvP.
Re: Three More Games Are Available With Xbox Game Pass Today (May 6)
@Chaudy Maybe in the EA Play section? Those two are separated on the Xbox itself too.

Not much for me here, but still a good reason to try Psychonauts once more.
Re: Can You Guess All Of These Xbox Star Wars Games?
Do you seriously think these Lego Star Wars questions are well-balanced? Haha. Nice quiz - 12 out of 20.
Re: Second Extinction Is Now Available With Xbox Game Pass
Only learned that it's Series X and not One X today. Disappointed now.
Re: Here's What Time Second Extinction Goes Live On Xbox Game Pass
I need more reliable coop partners in my friend list.
Not reading properly. I also need a Series X instead of One. :X
Re: Rumour: Forza Horizon 5 Won't Be Set In Japan, According To Industry Insiders
Wonder what it will be:

So basically, more nudges to get you to take Game Pass with your Xbox.
Re: Deals: Huge LEGO Franchise Sale Now Live On Xbox (April 16-23)
Shame you can't get the Pirates of the Caribbean part anywhere anymore, really my favourite from the bunch.
Re: Comical Cloud Simulator Rain On Your Parade Is Now Available To Preload With Xbox Game Pass
The next best thing to play after Donut County it seems.
Re: Xbox Fans Are Getting Hyped Over This Tease For Adventure Game Tunic
I've seen more recent hack-and-slashers and 2,5D-RPG's, which all disappointed me in terms of combat and depth. Hope this one is the exception.
Re: The Retro-Futuristic Narita Boy Is Now Available With Xbox Game Pass
Nice, let's give this a try.
Re: Following Wreckfest's Free Xbox Series X Patch, It's Now Getting A $10 Upgrade On PS5
I tried this the first day it was on Game Pass, but the online servers were down. Is this resolved now? Could be great fun, I imagine.

This seems like a great game for me and my gf, but yeah... with so much still to play, I can wait till it's available on Game Pass.

Re: Deals: 300+ Games Included In This Week's Xbox Sales (March 9-16)
If you're a platform fan, I can recommend Outland for 3 dollars wholeheartedly.
Re: These Six Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass Soon (March & April 2021)
Hmm... it's not my month.
Re: Deals: 300+ Games Included In This Week's Xbox Sales (March 2-9)
Rayman Legens for 5 dollars is a great deal, but then again, I feel like I've recommended the game for this price ten times before.
Re: Aliens: Fireteam Brings Co-Op Survival Action To Xbox This Summer
Generic? Kinda.
Repetitive? Probably.
Good old coop fun with four players? Quite possibly!
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Xbox Game Pass Racers Is Your Favourite?
Forza Horizon 4. By a powerslide, landslide and airjump. And then some.
Are the servers for Wreckfest online again? They were down the first evening on Game Pass, but I can see it being great fun online.
Re: Mini Review: Taxi Chaos - Competent Enough, But Lacking That 'Crazy' Factor
I had a feeling it would turn out to be this average. Ah will, still maybe fun to pick up for a few bucks.
Re: These 15+ Games Are Coming To Xbox This Week (Feb 23-26)
Oooh, Akuto Showdown and Curse of the Dead Gods on Game Pass please!
Re: 10 Zelda Alternatives To Play On Xbox One, Xbox Series X
I really advice against ReCore as your Zelda alternative - what a dull, uninspired, wacky playing game that is. Furthermore, a very comprehensive list actually - including the brilliant CrossCode!
Re: EA's Knockout City Slams Its Way Onto Xbox Consoles This May
It's incredible how dull a game can look from the start. Everything about this looks cash-grab and passionless.
Re: Co-Op Adventure It Takes Two Will Offer A Free Trial
I'm looking forward to this game, but honestly, when it comes to Game Pass because... Game Pass.
Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Console (& Game) Was Your First Love?
Halo: Combat Evolved.
And still is a special kind of love. Every weekend 4 up to 8 friends would gather with two Xbox's and beers, to play Blood Gulch capture the flag 4 vs 4 locally. Fantastic stuff.
Re: The Xbox Mobile App Is Finally Adding In Some 'Missing' Features
Things like achievements... and the entire news feed please! I loved seeing what my closest friends got in their latest gaming sessions.
Re: Random: Xbox Fan Shares Concept For Improving The Xbox Dashboard
A better view of your wallpaper? Good idea indeed.
Re: Four More Games Are Now Available With Xbox Game Pass (Feb 11)
May try Final Fantasy, but foremost, I'm happy that Game Pass still offers plenty of other titles.
Re: Ubisoft To Focus More On Free-To-Play Games Alongside AAA Experiences
Ah well, Ubisoft was already down this path with there very formula-like gaming worlds, right?
Re: Wipeout Inspired Pacer Finally Races Onto Xbox One Next Week
Oh, I'd like this to be a Game Pass addition!

This is incredibly awesome. And God, I love the Halo 1 maps.
Re: Tron Inspired Narita Boy Launches On Xbox Game Pass This Spring
Looking quite awesome!

@dmcc0 No, I meant: you don't get to keep the Xbox One games. That is a surprise.
Re: Soapbox: Xbox, Can We Please Stop Having Games With Random Achievement Numbers
Can I get a... yeah:
Amen.
Re: Feature: Games We'd Love To See Added To Xbox Backwards Compatibility In 2021
Blur! 007 Nightfire! Chamber of Secrets! Signularity even!
Flabbergasted - I could have written this article myself. Excellent, excellent choices.
Re: The First Three Of February 2021's Xbox Games With Gold Are Now Available
@dmcc0 Really? Wow, that's... special.
Re: The First Three Of February 2021's Xbox Games With Gold Are Now Available
Don't forget to 'get' Gears of War 5. Unlike on Game Pass, it's now yours to keep this way.
Re: Cancelled GoldenEye 007 Xbox Remake Leaks On YouTube In Its Entirety
I completely loved this game back in the day, and I can totally see why again. The music even still stands - wow.
But it's probably for the better they left this unreleased. The controls didn't age well.
Re: Did You Know? Sea Of Thieves Now Has Its Own Monopoly Set
No, I didn't know, but then again, everyone and their mothers have their own Monopoly set.
Re: Ubisoft's Roller Champions Returns With A Closed Beta Next Month

'Great idea.'
Re: Review: The Medium - A Stunning Xbox Series X Showpiece, Let Down By Uninspired Gameplay
So it's the new Alone in the Dark 4. Or Cold Fear, if anyone remembered that game. Not bad, spheric... but meh.

This concept shows great premise. Hope it gets an enthousiast online player base.
