@sinalefa Nice list! Shovel Knight is such a great game and does not disappoint!

I do believe there is a distribution going on in Pokemon X/Y right now so you may want to jump in and check that out today! (Vivillion with a special paint job and some crazy moves)

Soon Shine, must look into that one!

I'd view two hours or so of that with a massive grin!

If any real "story" accompanied this two hour venture... icing on the cake!

@WINGNUT

RIGHT!?!

@EternalDragonX

The DLC style EA has gone with on PVZ is "impressive, most impressive", sorry I've been star wars pinballin' allot this past day and a half!

Friend me up, HEADESTROYER4 ... I could definitely break out my fire peashooter this weekend! I may break it out right now!

@kensredemption

I agree, I'd have posted "Truce?!?" simultaneously on both companies twitch repeating over and over and over. Or, SOMETHING productive?

Ok my second greatest Halo memory was while working at a theatre and after closing time networking four auditoriums up with Halo2! if you ever get a chance to play Halo on a theatre sized screen, DO NOT pass it up!

@SunnyShores

You just made my day! Lol

We can all learn a lesson from Sunny's tale!

That lesson being DO NOT vomit directly into your Xbox, regardless of how tempting it may seem!

Wowzers... I'd have went for more productive hacking than posting racism and hatreds! (were I a hacker, cough... cough, ahem!, elbow... another elbow)

Why can't we all just love each other? (in a non-matrix2 sense)

@peckfeckler

Lol... "Then you get some blinking red lights?" - probably not Buddha

I believe the Update content, new modes, black market, things like that should continue to be released beyond this final pack of DLC maps. Updates are not actually a part of the DLC so this isn't the end it's just the last map pack.

@SunnyShores

I'm literally laughing out loud!

The first day I set up my XB1 a cup of eggnog came within micro meteres of pouring right into the fan but you just took the cake!

Did his Xbox survive?

@Gamer83

You said "outside of Halo TWO"?!?

You're in for a treat fellow soldier! The Halo 2 Campaign AND multi-play are considered the high point in the series among most fans including myself.

We'll also be getting the first chance to see 3 and 4 at the 1080p 60FPS benchmark, compared to 540p (more or less) as we played them on the Xbox 360!

Canadians: This is not yet listed in "new games" but if you search "pinball" or "FX2" it'll come up first and is a free download, in case anyone was wondering.

Great! I noticed the DLC available last week for about 12hrs or so... Star Wars Pinball here I come!

Keep the conversation going my fellow Spartans!

Share a great Halo memory as Peckfeckler did!

Here's mine,

I was seventeen at the time, Halo:CE and the original generation Xbox were all the rage among us console players who had never really LAN'd or anything beyond Goldeneye'd on our N64's.

A friend (shout out) had his birthday that month and requested nothing but four rooms... you all see where this is going. One night, four OG Xbox, sixteen controllers and all four teams in separate rooms playing Combat Evolved until our eyes bulged.

It is one of those shiny memories you never forget. I have another relating to Halo 2 that I'd like to share but please sound off with your own before I get to rambling!

@hydeks

There will be fresh new experiences galore for us OG players!

The six maps with new environmental elements should provide us with Halo 2 gameplay we've never experienced before. The Halo Channel will tie it all up as well with community events and a huge amount of content to explore. All of this content will evolve between the release of the MCC and Guardians, a full year where we'll see Ridley Scott's NIGHTFALL and the Guardians BETA as well as everything 343 has planned for the community.

It's a grande ol' time to be a Halo fan-addict!

@SunnyShores

I envy you as well!

November is your chance to experience the tightest, most beautifully visceral series of games ever made (IMO), I look forward to helping new Spartans find their footing!

@Gamer83

We are in total concurrence!

I remember lining up at midnight with hundreds of Halo fans to get my paws on the second iteration. From the campaign to the maps featured to the ranking system that was a true high point for those developers at BUNGIE who were under harsh pressure to release Halo:CE alongside the OG Xbox. With Halo 2 they took the time to get it right and I just can't wait for November's re-creations of those maps we know and love!

@peckfeckler

Great question?

How will Halo 2's ranking system implemented across all maps effect matchmaking?

Thanks for sharing awesome Halo memories with us as well!

@Kohaku

I ENVY you, good sir!

Set the 100 maps aside for a moment, we have here one of the greatest Sci-Fi Stories ever told and in my mind the greatest we've ever had a chance to "live", not to just watch but to take helm of!

I highly recommend playing right through the Saga with friends or family also unfamiliar to this universe of intrigue.

I mentioned "past" live-action but of course, NIGHTFALL By Ridley Scott (Alien, Aliens, Bladerunner, Prometheus) will also be available within The Halo Channel. You'll be able to go from a live-action episode to a live-streaming game to research on weapons, locales, vehicles, and back to the next episode all through this new app, available on all windows 8.1 devices!

@Gamer83

Could there at any point in time ever be enough Halo?

Brilliant move by MICROSOFT to group licence this game and as so give it to all of us GOLD members!
Nobody really knows how the "Games with Gold" program works but... it pays off!

@peckfeckler Update 5.0 brought us the black market as well as insignia, this new content along with the new DLC maps (if you partake in those) should get you back into the game!!
Make sure your bro is a Pure Xbox reader, you'll get an achievement in my books.

@Emanouel
Just as SuperKMx said, turn on and up all assistance and hug that racing line like she's your mamma! The rewind feature in "offline" play will help you master the more difficult turns, just keep on rewinding until you've got 'em down.

Great post and photo Emma!

With a background in pixel-pushing and modelling I must say this looks less creepy and more forward thinking, the more points recognized in the motion-cap process, the more pixels and polygons Square has to work with! I've always been a fan of human acted, motion-captured base data.
I surely hope our next Lara is not "creepy"! That would be the antithesis of her herself!

I'm 25% on the way and I agree good sir!

Let us all get our metroidvania's out!

3D BLU is a start, showing that Mic. is responding to feedback... personally I believe MOST games are also better in the third dimension and hope the XB1 gains some support for 3DTV's game-wise very soon!

@PeTitosaurus

"Sly Stallone"?

He has the TV series "CREED" in the works, this may be an early play off/pay off?

@Anthinator

Oh I am so ready for that flik! Lucky Duck!

The disparities between U.S and Canadian releases, prices, Ads ect ect etc... is odd as we're almost the same audience, different market.

No sight of this in Canada, that I've seen? It appears on American stations but not your token Canadian ones.

I love Rocky more than Adrian did.

I love XBOX more than I love Rocky.

This adds up to allot of love!

Still hammering away at GUACAMELEE:STCE!

Thank you D-Pad, without you I would be lost.

Anyone else trying to take down this goliath metroidvania this weekend?

Thanks Dave, have you personally experienced the DLC packs currently put and how if so would you rate them fo folks just looking to race... no time for track building as much as I love the system!

@ PeTitosaurus

I just noticed you're still. gen Two!?!

As a commanding officer I must play with you and be all drill sergeant like!

Gotta get U some challenges yo!

Right, right. I'd just like a tad more communication with the players. This game needs quite a few features akin to Halo in order to make it "last".

XBF and KS: Rivals provide a REST for our poor hands AND physical activity akin to playing a sport etc... I LOVE Kinect games just for that reason and even if XBF nor KS:RIVALS completely hit the mark, I find them to be totally novel and entertaining breaks from controller based games.

PS: Once the Cheif collection hits... my hands will need this time off!

Until then, let us dream of DECALS!

I'd like a "13" a "Narwhal" (favorite animal) and "HENRY" across my titans chest.... colors would be awesome but I don't think that's yet in the cards...

@ Pe Titosauras

Can you post the link to RESPAWNS announce?

I'd like to shame those dudes for the constant false release dates!

I stayed up till midnight when they (PureXbox) said Expedition was coming that day and I think it was 3 or so later it finally hit!

GIVE ME MAH DECALS!

I want to see what the DLC offers. Great story and mechanics so far??? Pretty damn good open world game with a fresh feel to it.

Themed match-ups... I like it.

My GT is also same, save for all caps lo, HEADESTROYER4.

May I add you? And hopefully have fun with new voices SOMETIME in June

I'd like an Alfred but he may be 2 sensitive for titan combat, HENRY must strike fear!

Off to snag this Tomb Raider deal!

Can you "Update" Us when the update hits XOne???

Yeah it sounds like just what T-FALL needs, colors and such would help as well but decals and voices ... new burn cards, sounds great. My titan is named HENRY the Atlas and "BETTY" vocals are just not doing him justice!

It's RESPAWN that's the culprit! Their official posts don't mean bullhoney so far, they posted the Expedition pack as coming out a couple days early as well and U guys reported it... GIVE US DECALS! Lol not ur fault Titosaurus! PS: what is your gamertag!?!

Headestroyer4

This is the second time PureXbox has reported DLC (expedition) or an update (this one?!?) being available inaccurately! It's the 18th in N/A and I see no update??? Will you PLEASE wait until you're positive or update your post!
