@Link41x I enjoyed NSMB2 alot more then the other NSMB games. The coin idea was just brilliant and added some variety to the series. I wish they would port it to Switch.
Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse (Super NT) Haven't played this game since I was a kid. Picked it up last week at a retro convention so I will be playing through it this weekend.
Madden 25 (Series X) Continuing with my 4th year on the Broncos.
Fallout London (PC) Really enjoying this game alot. Looking forward to exploring some more this weekend.
Heroes of Might and Magic III (PC) Just about done with Restoration so hopefully will be moving on to the next expansion.
Not quite sure what I will play this weekend as I will be going to a gaming expo that my town will be hosting. They do have a free play arcade and consoles set up so who knows what I will play. I will also be looking to add to my retro collection.
The only problem with bringing games like Black Ops 2 to Gamepass is the fact that MP is a complete mess with hackers. I know that with on hack hackers can get access to all your personal info on your console and even delete and add games to you account. Before they make them GP worthy I am sure that MS would want Activision to fix that exploit which Activision just doest have the man power to do as they are focused on new CoD games.
Another game I would love to see come to console GP is WoW. I know that they couldnt bring the full retail game to console but how bout a version of Classic. I mean they just brought out the Anniversary Edition of Classic not that long ago on PC surely they could do that for console.
@DTfearTheBEARD OH nice, I will have to look for it. I dont have a PS5 and wasn't sure if they were going to do a last Gen version of it. Of course I guess I could get it on Steam and sync a PS4 controller to as well I suppose. Thanks for the info.
@DTfearTheBEARD That was my problem with it on Xbox. Originally playing the game on PS2 I just cant get the combos to work with an Xbox controller. But unless they have a PS4 version then I am just going to have to learn how to use the Xbox controller.
Well technically Bam isnt a new character. He was in the original. And at least this game make sense have a Ninja Turtle.as a character unlike Black Ops 6.
@Txinn Thanks. I take that as a compliment. He's a great superhero, one of personal favorites. Though I still need to see the new one, especially with Harrison Ford as Red Hulk.
@wildcat_kickz No it wasn't. MW 2019 was the beginning of the low point for CoD that still continues to this day. Safe spots for people to hide in, Skill base match making that punishes good players and rewards bad players. Skins that dont have any reasons or meaning to be in a military shooter.
Anyone who says MW2019 is a high point in anything needs to play the older CoD games.
@NintendoByNature Definitely worth playing the campaign especially if you like WWII settings. Its probably my favorite campaign to date. And with it on Gamepass what do you have to lose?
@Questionable_Duck Maybe. Who knows maybe they wanted to see the reaction they got from Randy's post first. Quite possibly if it wasn't met with such strong dislike then maybe they would have decided to make it 80.
Looks like another game I will be buying on the used market. Its a shame cause I want to support the devs but I also have other things that require my money.
I have the black one for my Series X, got it a few years ago during Black Friday but I thought the same thing that this would look good on my Series S.
Never liked the FF series after VI. Once they went 3D with FF VII they lost all substance. The stories were unimaginative, their characters had no personality unlike the older games. My weekly D&D sessions are better written then the FF games.
If they can keep military theme and I am not facing Humnoid Shark people, Ninja Turtles, Seth Rogan so some other stupid skin I may check this one out.
Madden 25 (Series X) Finished up my 3rd year with a Super Bowl victory over the Cowboys. So that makes me back to back Super Bowl Champs. Will be starting my fourth year.
Diablo Immortal (PC) Still plugging away at this and still enjoying it. I just hit level 34 on my tempest.
Mega Man 4 Gameboy (Switch) I got the itch for some Mega Man and I never played 2, 3, or 4 on Gameboy before so I figure I give it a shot.
Not really a surprise. He got burnt by an industrial that he loved and the way Ubisoft handled XDefiant was unacceptable. Its no wonder hes walking away from the industry. Another brilliant dev is gone thanks to Ubusoft's carelessness. At this point Ubisoft can shut down forever and I wouldn't shed a tear.
I played quite a bit the last few weeks especially yesterday. I really took the time to soak things in and just had a ton of fun with it. Its really a shame that Ubisoft just didn't know what to do with it as now with its closer we dont have a good FPS game around anymore. I guess we will see when the next Battlefield game comes out but I am not holding my breath.
My hope, and I know its a long shot is that maybe another publisher will pick up XDefiant or maybe even create a spiritual successor. Till then the FPS market is dead which is a shame.
R.I.P. XDefiant. Definitely a breath of fresh air in a market dominanted by CoD and it was nice having a true CoD game again. If only it wasn't done by Ubisoft.
Diablo Immortal (PC) As I get further and further into this game I am really enjoying it as well as the tempest class. As long as you ignore all mobile crap like different currencies its really not that bad of a game.
Madden 25 (Xbox Series X) Midway through my 3rd season with my running back on the Broncos. Were are not doing so great this year currently 6 and 5. I think some of our key players from last year are no longer with the team for various reason which is why we are struggling.
Doom: The Dark Ages (Series X) Picking this one up where I left off last weekend.
XDefiant (Series X) With this great game shutting down forever in 10 days I am going to take one more trip down memory lane to what could have been a great game. R.I.P. XDefiant if anyone else but Ubisoft made you, you'd probably would have had a chance.
@themightyant Yeah I went to see it a few weeks ago with my son and the theater was quite full when we went to see it. Then again I am sure this was the first time seeing it in theaters for some of the fans especially those 20 and under.

Re: Xbox Brings Another Call Of Duty To Game Pass Today (June 30)
Hands down my favorite CoD game. Will definitely be firing it up after work today.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 28-29)
@NintendoByNature I believe it comes out on the 30th but I am not sure. I own it so I am unable to check myself.

@NintendoByNature CoD:WWII is probably my favorite campaign. Its just so epic and really nailed that WWII vibe.

Re: Reminder: The Xbox 360 Is Surprisingly Decent For Backwards Compatibility
The main reason I still have a 360 and an OG Xbox around. For games that were never made backwards compatible on the Series X/S.

Re: 2K Not Following Microsoft & Nintendo With $80 Game Prices, For Now
@Questionable_Duck Well yeah, but then Randy went shooting off his mouth and ended up pissing people off, do they had to do some damage control.
Re: These 11 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (June 18 - July 1)
It's funny cause I was thinking of firing up CoD WWII and wondering how active the MP is. Pretty sure it will be active now.
Re: Review: Rematch (Xbox) - A Highly Addictive Blend Of Rocket League And Real Football
Damn got me all excited when you said football then I saw it's a soccer game.
Re: These 11 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (June 18 - July 1)
@Ricky-Spanish Yes it is. CoD:WWII was before Warzone so it's its own entity.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Like To See A New Type Of Forza Game In 2026?
While I think its a little soon for the next Horizon game, I wouldn't mind maybe some more DLC for 5.
Re: 2K Not Following Microsoft & Nintendo With $80 Game Prices, For Now
Pretty sure this is due to Randy Pitchford's post. If they were to price it at $80 after that it would just hurt the sales for the game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 14-15)
Fallout London (PC) Been wanting to play this for awhile now and with GoG now offering it I decided to try it out.
Heroes of Might and Magic III (PC) I will also be checking out The Horn of the Abyss mod.
Madden 25 (Series X) Continuing with my fourth season with the Broncos.

Re: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Punches Its Way To Xbox In 2025
@jikflet @InheritNegative They did say more games will be announced prior to release.
Re: Ubisoft Forward Showcase Not Happening This Summer, Confirms Team
Unless they are going to announce the return of XDefiant I dont give a ***** about Ubisoft anymore.
Re: We Played Ubisoft's Doomed FPS During Its Final Day On Xbox
As of now the servers are still up if anyone wants to get a few games in before its shutdown.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 31 - June 1)
Diablo Immortal (PC) Still enjoy this story wise. I reached max level on my Tempest so I feel I am just about done with the story but not 100% sure.
Madden. 25 (Series X) Just about to start the post season in my third year.
XDefiant (Series X) One last run for me with this great game before the servers shut off for good.
Re: Six Xbox Games Are Shutting Down Their Servers In June 2025
R.I.P. XDefiant. Definitely a breath of fresh air in a market dominanted by CoD and it was nice having a true CoD game again. If only it wasn't done by Ubisoft.
Re: When Will The Xbox Summer Sale 2025 Be Revealed?
You guys are jumping the gun arent you?
1) Its not summer yet
2) As you guys stated it generally doesnt start till mid July which is still a month and a half away.
Just be patient it will be here in the summer. No reason to start worrying when it will be and acting like it's late.

Re: After Eight Years, Star Wars Battlefront 2 Is Suddenly Exploding In Popularity Again

Re: After Eight Years, Star Wars Battlefront 2 Is Suddenly Exploding In Popularity Again
@jolteon23 @themightyant @FraserG Might also have to do with the 20th anniversary of the release of Episode III.

Re: Talking Point: What Game Franchises Would You Pay $80 For On Xbox?
None. I will either play them on Gamepass, rent them from Gamefly or buy them second hand.
