I relish the new GWG announcements because they're often games I've never heard of, or have been on my radar for years. I have a crap-ton of games in my queue because of it, whose quality is all over the place. And that's fine with me.
How can we be certain a game is good if we don't have a truly crappy game to compare it to? What genres am I ignoring because of past biases? I understand these aren't truly "free" games, but I do pay $60 a year so I can game with my friends about once a month. These come with the package, and I would be remiss if I didn't give them a chance.
Despite common complaints, I usually find at least one title each month which looks entertaining. I remember watching videos of Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet years ago, and now I get to try it. And Orcs Must Die sounds delightful.
Armello alone is worth having Games with Gold this month. This game is terrific and it stinks there isn't a larger fan base on Xbox. Now that it's free, here's hoping we get some new adventurers in the mix!

I watched my brother play this on PS4. It looked alright and he seemed to really enjoy it when he wasn't dying a lot.

Re: Talking Point: What June 2022 Xbox Games With Gold Do You Want?
@PastaBrian I just bought RDR2 for the first time, so I would be miffed. But I'll take RDR as a GWG offering!
Re: Talking Point: Do You Own Any Xbox Games You've Never Played?
Yes, I've purchased games I've yet to play. The technical term would be a "buttload".
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Includes A 'Mumble Mode' For Old Times' Sake
The only reason I don't like the voice acting is because the sound bytes are terrible. They're so tinny.

I'm fine with the GWG selections, as usual.
Re: Here Are Your Xbox Games With Gold For November 2021
I love both the Kingdom games! The music alone is so peaceful.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Buying In The Xbox Summer Sale?
I picked up Hellblade and Dragon's Dogma and will probably get the Master Chief Collection, which will be my first foray into the series.

Re: Mega MEGA Win Monday (US): Win an Xbox One with Assassin's Creed Unity and Black Flag!
Here's hoping I'm a winner!
