@scoobyzelda Yea but as it tells you, you still have to go there and check that you are enrolled still. by default you should be but they only ask you to check its not hard. Some people may have changed after the final update to NXE. So to get whatever it is that's coming you just pop it back in.
Great example of having your hands in too many baskets, I love most of what Platinum do. But months ago I was having a discussion with some colleagues just about Platinum. The studio just seamed to be working on too much and something was going to be hit hard by it, now it was less likely to be Scalebound (Microsoft's clout behind it) and I hope NieR is also a hit, We came to the conclusion that we were all going to be upset and disappointed with the Turtles. I am old enough to have been a fan of the Turtles a long time, and I really wanted a great game to come from Platinum. Ah well....next time maybe.
By the sounds of it the Next Box will be around 4 times more powerful. If this is all true its going to s**t on the PS4 Neo. Need more info soon, as if it is going to be that good I can cancel my PSVR Headset pre order.
@stylon AH well the list was rubbish anyway, Xbox owners can get The Crew, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Goat Simulator and Super Meat Boy. I have The Crew on physical so at least I can get rid of the CD.
@stylon Yea man, I hope it is true. I have also already completed Ryse but I only gave it one play through and then lent my disk to someone, Who...I have no idea, and I never got it back. Plus I had the season pass and downloaded the content but never really had a go at it. I need to put closure to RDR as well before the sequel/prequel comes out.
@SuperKMx Definitely. There are a lot of games from the 360 era that I had and would love to play again, RDR being right at the top of that list as I never actually got round to completing it. i am also having fun with South Park Stick of Truth. Just wish that Bad Company one and two would come, you could pretty much guarantee that BC2 would pull a lot of players on line still.
From all these the only one I had was Steel Battalions. It was great. The start up procedure to get your Mech going and the immersion and control was amazing. Once you died that was it for that round, but that didn't put me off one bit. They don't have respawns in AR (Great quote from Doug FPS) That shot really doesn't do the controller justice either, The thing was a beast in terms of size.
Please please bring Burn out Paradise. oh and Dead Space II and III
Rumor is that Ryse Son of Rome, Lichdom Battlemage (Xbox One) and Red Dead Redemption, Bioshock Infinite (Xbox 360) are next months Games with Gold. All of which I will be happy with. Would provide a link but i dont know if thats allowed.
@stylon Couldn't agree with you more, Sorry but that looks terrible. I am not a big fan of Retro looking games, but if this was done in an 8 or 16 bit style it would probably look a hell of a lot better.
Good luck people. I feel like a coffin dodger today. Make things worse, I was playing Rocket League with a couple of mates on line last night, we all dropped out at about 2am to pop off to bed get a couple of hours before work. Only when I woke up at 6:30am on the sofa, I thought it was Saturday morning and started to fire up The division. I heard my Missus coming down stairs, she popped her head through the door and continued to say "you not going to work today" at that point I came to realize its Friday. Bummer, what a ball ache.
Mech's me happy to see this news. I had Steel Battalions on the 360, love Mech games, it was one of the BIG parts of why i love TitanFall. A new Mechassault game would be awesome.
COD 4 was the last decent COD for me... I would love to get the remaster but I am not going to be giving Activision my cash for COD Infinite. For me Battlefield 1 is a day one purchase with the season pass.
SSX, Quality, always been a fan of the SSX series, at the moment with Stick of Truth and Grid 2 I am playing more BC titles than current........Need to finish Witcher 3, need to finish Metal Gear, need to finish Division, and so on and so on............
I actually like all the offerings this month. Its one of the first times I don't already own any of them. Look forward to Grid 2, the first was quality.
Reminder to myself.....I need to get back to this game. First need to finish off Stick of Truth and Witcher 3. Why does work have to get in the way of my Gaming Pleasure....grrrrr
Cheats always find a way to spoil stuff for the wider community. Yea its an exploit, but why use it. I haven't played since the Incursion update due to all the problems that keep cropping up. I do hope Ubisoft manage to get this sorted soon, I love the game, but I am not prepared to play it with the issues that its having at the moment.
Nice. Some very good ideas there. My main gripe with the Xbox One is the whole Games and Apps section. At times scrolling through all the games is a pain, it's easier for me to just say "Xbox go to Bla Bla Bla" BUT you have to have the phrase spot on as I found out with The Division and PGA Golf.
Yea man Repton was a Rip-Off of Boulderdash but had around 5 games to the series. When I upgraded to the C64 Boulderdash took a pounding as well. The games were so simple and at the same time complex looking back now, but they were challenging and rewarding... Here looking at you Mission Impossible. Plus that bugger you had to do in one play through as game saves were pretty non existent.
I turned on to try the new stuff last night. Got about 10 minutes in to the mission I was doing then got a message saying the server i was on was going down in 45 seconds. Sure enough it went and I returned to the start menu. Luckily my 2 characters are there and intact but man I feel for anyone that may have lost their stuffage.
Love me a bit of E3. Starts the hype train of all the upcoming goodness. Also the Banta with the PS4 boys at work. Even tho I also have PS4 the Xbox is my tool of choice.
@stylon It was when you typed in said game just to find it full of bugs and decoding was then needed. man I loved my C64, before that I had an Acorn Electron the Repton games on that were great fun.
Sounds like its probably the best Rally game made to date. I loved the original Colin McRae games, played all of them but this will have to wait till the end of the month as this month has cost me too much already. Great review as well guys.

Re: Brand New: Issue 7 - Twelve New Xbox One Games
Battlefield 1 and Hawken. Tenebrae Twilight of the Gods looks OK as well but has a bit of a "this could get very repetitive" look to it.
