@Wheatly BB2 is a great game in my opinion. Was a near perfect adaptation of the board game and a great way for people to play when they can't get to each other.

Our local store set up a league during COVID so that everyone could stay in touch and keep playing the game they love.

This on the other hand is horrific. Constant crashes and server outrages. Missing so many features from the previous game, simple things like showing mutations on players. Kick off events show you the rules from the book but don't tell you who or how things have been affected and the commentary is literally the exact same audio from BB2.

I requested a refund from MS but was refused for the amount of time I have spent on the game. Most of which was spent trying to navigate the confusing menus or replaying games that had crashed/disconnected halfway through.

Total mess of a game.

Blood Bowl 3 and Atomic Heart will be taking up all my time

Lost in Random was great, I also enjoyed Sea of Solitude too

I hope this doesn't mean that an XCOM 3 will never happen. He's spearheaded some great projects and all the best to him.

Got excited for a new Tron game. Disappointed in a text adventure, not for me sadly.

That price for XCOM 2 collection is well worth it. I've put more hours in to that game than any other on Xbox. Won't be long before I start my yearly play through, just wish consoles had mod support.

Bring back Blitz: The League. Not an American football fan but I loved those games. The X-Ray injuries were fantastic.

I was already getting this and nice to see the site rate it so highly. Will be after Christmas though when I no doubt get Xbox vouchers from everyone.

I was going to get this regardless but was not expecting those review scores. Is there a Pure Xbox review in the world?

@Tasuki do you have this comment saved as a template?

I'd like to know how much time you have spent posting this comment on every article. I mean we get it, you don't like the game, move along.

More on tropic, does anyone know how many levels I'll need to get to the quickest "free" COD points? Only need 100 more to be able to get the full pass.

Soccer Story and Insurgency have my attention

I swear the release days for warzone seasons/updates always fall when I'm on a late shift at work.

Looks like solo drops for me, pretty excited for DMZ aswell, could be a nice addition.

@Kharjo top comment 😂

@Techno92LFC I was hoping for an old school map at least. Quarry and Dome are already in the Warzone map so should have been an easy port. That being said I am happy shipment has been added so quickly just for leveling the weapons.

@Fenbops More Gears Tactics!!!! Yes!!!! Never thought Gears would work as a turn based strategy but it is sublime. Hopefully they make another and add a strategy layer similar to Xcom

Wow, legends of mir is still a thing can remember playing when it first launched in Europe.

@Tharsman there was me thinking you were making a joke because Vanguard was such trash 😂

@Stoned_Patrol I think it is down to player count to be honest. Playstation has a big enough matchmaking pool that it can afford to turn it off.

Yes it bugs me that my PS friends can turn cross play off but generally it's kept on so they can play with those of us in the group that play on Xbox.

It won't be any different after the acquisition though because Microsoft forces cross play on its first party games.

As for the PS exclusive content. Xbox had the extra content during what I call the glory days of CoD, can't really complain.

As others have said I hope Microsoft gives these studios their freedom back. It has been stated in the past that Microsoft studios are given a little too much freedom.

Also, Raven need to stay away from Warzone. The game was at it's most fun and balanced before the Cold War integration when Raven took over from Infinity Ward

Alright hands up, who voted for CoD3 and Vanguard?

I voted MW2 but it's very close between that and WaW. Really enjoyed the two MW reboots as well.

A couple of 360 titles would be pretty neat

I'll be on the Modern Warfare 2 campaign any chance I get, already looking forward to a realism run through next.

Loving it so far, it seems like a greatest hits of campaign missions. Looks a treat too.

Nothing I'm too bothered about there. I started Backbone and although I enjoyed the characters and setting it felt like it held your hand too much for a point and click adventure. Might try and finish it.

Watched Tomographic play some of this the other day, looks fun.

@GhanaViking I know Anthem was a bust but playing through it with a friend we both said the controls were awesome and would convert great into a Iron Man game. We even thought Iron Man and War Machine would make for a great co op experience.

Major Theme Park vibes from those screenshots. Need a new light hearted SIM to play after finishing Two Point Campus

Just got the last cheevo on Two Point Campus, great game although it could have done with being a little bit harder. I hope they add in ways to manually edit the timetable in the future, other than that I'm looking forward to whatever expansions they bring.

New game time for me this weekend then. Torn between starting Watch Dogs 2 or Immortals Fenyx Rising.

The world needs more Tron. They could release a new Tron themed dinner set and I would buy it

Hey Jim, Nintendo called, they want to know what this CoD is you keep banging on about?

Dizzy's Treasure Island on Atari ST. Loved all the Dizzy games.

Oh no SkateBIRD, whatever will we do.

It's a big list but I have played what I want from it.

I haven't purchased a physically game in what feels like a lifetime but this is something I really want. Absolutely loved Day of the Tentacle both back in the day and the remaster.

Solasta looks right up my street. Now if only I can find time to game

Dead Space 4 looked awesome. Other than that nothing hyped me, DarkTide looked ok I guess, MW2 gameplay looked exactly how I imagined it to look. Another TLOU remake, is it too soon to make Skyrim memes?

I knew Midnight Suns was featuring but was hoping for some gameplay. Another cinematic trailer isn't what I wanted from a game originally penned for a Q1 release.

Let's hope Sunday is at least 50 times better than this.

@Kooky_Daisuke not experienced it myself but it seems to be an ongoing issue https://www.purexbox.com/news/2022/06/xbox-dev-responds-as-microsoft-rewards-begins-suspending-people-for-no-reason

Checked my balance and nothing for me but I have had a fair few of these in the past so can't complain.

Xbox knows how bad the Starfield and Redfall delays will have hurt them so I'm expecting huge amounts of money have been spent on big 3rd party game pass releases.

Not expecting a huge shadow drop but definitely some to look forward to for the rest of the year.

@CrazyJF completely different stories

Please don't make me load up SkateBird, I feel sick thinking about it.

If they do a mid gen, I'll bite, and I don't even have a 120hz TV yet 😂 Been saving reward points for just that reason. 130k and counting. If I can get one purely on reward points, why not.

Can somebody please just remake Croc : Legend of the Gobbos.

Looking forward to the Shadowrun trilogy and got Outriders Worldslayer pre ordered. 2 massive time sinks when gaming time is premium with a baby in the house.

Loved the last MW, really looking forward to this. A game pass release would be nice but I'll if not I'll still be picking it up.

I'm pretty sure the only reason the ARMA games had high sales in the past was so people could play DayZ.

@Retrokingdan @Blessed_Koz Same, same. A console port is all I ask for. See profile pic 😂

"Play these game pass games free this weekend with a game pass ultimate subscription" 🙄

I know these are mainly aimed at just gold subscribers but still makes me laugh

Might pick up Darkestville Castle, been on my radar for ages but as usual I was waiting for a GP drop

Was waiting patiently for Jurassic World. That's my sim/management itch scratched until Two Point Campus.

Love a good shadow drop

I may be being very cynical but in my eyes developers seem to break/nerf things a lot these days and then it's "We've listened to your feedback" as if they are the good guys listening to the community.

We've seen it far too often recently.

Really looking forward to this. I'd also love these guys to have a go at a Dungeon Keeper clone, the glory days of Bullfrog. I tried to get into the Dungeons series recently and it just felt off, couldn't quite capture the magic.
