I've got tons of demo discs and mags for various consoles. I got loads of those little cheat books as well!

@liljazzy2 brilliant, will do! I'll be updating the list later on so I'll let you know when it's done!

I just want to give a shout out to @LtSarge helping to create the game club by creating the original Push Square game club and providing key feedback that shaped what the Pure Xbox Game Club became.

Also want to give a shout out to the rest of the original Game Club crew that were present for the original confusingly titled thread and provided feedback for and stuck through the beginning of the new one! @Tothington91 @MAC26 @XBontendo @Justifier @LtSarge @Tjuz @nessisonett @crippyd @Krzzystuff

@Dydreamr heya, want to be added to the tag list in the thread?

@TooBarFoo heya, wanna be added to the tag list for the thread?

@Krzzystuff haha cheers but somehow I doubt any cheques will be incoming 😤😅

@xMightyMatt14x yeah of course, it's super casual. Do you want to be added to the tag list for it?

Don't listen to @Krzzystuff though, we won't need your bank details or anything. We only needed Krzzy's bank details so we could buy loads of old FMV games for them to watch! 😃🤣

@K1LLEGAL oh yeah for sure, I think most of us have got enough on our plates in real life for our hobby to become just as arduous!

@KilloWertz lol and it's perhaps likely that you never will 😅

@theskelf I see what you did there! 😃

@djshep1973 sweet, I'll get you added to the tag list shortly!!

@rjejr @K1LLEGAL cheers peeps! The community is doing the good work too by keeping it alive!

I thought I'd repost and edit a bit of the explanation from Post #1 in that thread here too:

It will be one game a month with Life Is Strange: True Colors as our current game

Play the game at your own pace and discuss it here!

We normally choose the games from game pass ultimate

You don't have to join in every month

You can play on any platform you like if you have the game there and/or don't have game pass: PC, Xbox, even PlayStation, Switch or Commodore 64 (if available). It will be interesting to see if the experiences are different across platforms in terms of performance or features. You could even play an original version of a game if we are playing a remake! (Some users at PushSquare played the original resident evil 2 over the remake as their monthly game a little while back)

Discussion and light tangents are also allowed (catch ups with other users, discussions on related games and past game club games).

Please use spoiler tags if you are discussing plot or key moments in the game! You do so by typing [spoiler] insert text here [ /spoiler] without the space between [ and /

We don't carry votes for games over from the previous month's when voting for next month's game. The reason for this is that people's schedules change or somebody might drop off the face of the earth so it would kinda suck if an absent user's old vote is counted toward a month they won't be participating in. All votes start from Zero every month.

We don't repeat games, there is a list in Post #1 of the games we have played as part of the club in the past so they won't be available to vote for again in future. Other than those games, feel free to throw suggestions out (in the thread) and I will add them to the list of possibilities.

It should go without saying that people should be respectful of other people's opinions if they choose to join in. We are all wired differently and are free to think what we want without making other people feel bad about what they think. I am sure we are all fairly passionate about video games even if the intricacies of our passions don't fully line up. I think we are a good bunch though anyway so I think everybody will be welcoming to new faces!

Let me know if you want to be added to (or removed from) the tag list for the thread. It's basically just a list of usernames that I copy and paste into the announcement posts so that everybody gets a notification when we change game. I normally only use the tag list once a month but I will occasionally use it a second or third time if there is either a tie for votes between two games or if we need to vote on something additional to the next monthly game.

Other than that, pop over, see what it's all about. Relax, enjoy and discuss some games with the rest of us. Welcome!

Woah, we are official!!! Awesome! Nice graphic too 😃😃

Thanks @FraserG !!!

@FraserG might be worth adding an "Indifferent" option to these polls, I am sure I'm not the only one who feels indifferent to some months of GwG!

I know "They're OK" is the middle option but it's probably still too positive. On the other hand "I'm not happy" is a bit of a strong statement for me too lol. I am merely indifferent 😅

Brilliant, the first TftB game is probably the funniest game i have ever played. Brilliant soundtrack and brilliant characters. Easily one of my favourite games.

I did try playing the first game in the main series but found it rather dull in comparison to it's spin off!

@themightyant completely agree. I wish smart delivery was smarter and just updated any game (including the DLC) I have on my console to the best possible version and stored it in the best possible place. Put the rest of it on the external hard drive.

Also, the power thing is a real bugbear for me. Just wish I could choose eco mode, instant on or full shutdown when I hold down the Xbox button instead of going into settings to select Full Shutdown or swapping between the defaults

I completely rely on these articles now to buy the BC 360 games not available to purchase on Xbox One/Series.

The 360 marketplace is so hard to navigate. I am quite keen on buying all the Sega games when they are on sale but when you search Sega on the 360 store, it only shows games with Sega in the title. I don't seem to be able to search by publisher.

It doesn't tell you if it's discounted on there either, or at least I can't work it out. It requires some knowledge of a games RRP to know whether the price displayed is discounted.

On top of that, without these guides, I'd have to have multiple web pages open just to keep track of which games available on the 360 store but not on the Xbox one/series store that are actually backwards compatible.

Would be good if we got Typing of the Dead: Remake instead to make up for lack of lightgun!

Some bull riding game called 8 for glory or something

I was looking at charging stands a few weeks ago but none of the ones I researched met my satisfaction. One of them looked quite good (Venom I think?) But Amazon reviews showed the batteries melting and exploding so I nixed the idea.

Ended up going for an Energizer wall charger that came with 4x 2000mah AA batteries for about £20. It's actually really good. I have only used one set of batteries so far and it's lasted a couple weeks. Not sure how many hours exactly but think a couple hours after work each night with some fairly long sessions at the weekend.

I highly recommend this solution. Got another pair of batteries charged ready for when my first set eventually run out!

I want to pet knuckles

I'm thinking of getting my eyes replaced with a Kinect. Seems like the next logical step for humanity

Astral chain, paper Mario and Disney collection (updated) on Switch

First of the north star ps4

Oddworld new n tasty, jet set radio and something else I struggle to remember on Xbox

Mario kart DS, f zero GP legends and Mario kart super circuit on Wii u (as well as the remaining panorama view things I didn't get from my Nintendo)

But all I've played this year is Halo, Yakuza and Forza Horizon on game pass 😭😨😂

(And a bit of MKDS on Wii u)

Micro machines...

This is awesome, I may actually buy copies for both Xbox and Switch!

Ahh poopoo, bought GotG in the Jan sale and still haven't played it!

I think Ms Pac Man has some weird rights issue where the company that produced all those shoddy mini Mega drives (before the proper one came out) owns the rights. AT Games, they are called

I resisted smartphones for so long a decade or so ago. My first smartphone ended up being a Windows phone. A Nokia Lumia 720.

It was certainly an interesting phone but I do remember having FOMO about the popular apps my friends were using. Only having dodgy looking "client" alternatives to use on WP just put me off. Probably for the best in that I didn't get obsessed with Snapchat, Instagram and the like though 😅

Unfortunately I repeated the mistake some years later when I bought an Amazon Kindle Fire 7. Such a trash device 😅

Thank god Yakuza Trilogy is safe for another two weeks. I have only just finished Part 1 Of Yakuza 5 and I've only been playing for a little over 10 hours 😅

I wish they'd give definitive dates when a game might leave once it has joined, even if they have to backtrack later because they've signed an extension deal.

I know third party games typically (but not always) stay on for around 12 months. Im trying to blast my way through Yakuza 4 (and hopefully 5) as they have gone past the year mark of being on the service.

It feels like I'm writing an essay past the deadline!

I will echo others sentiments and hope a similar investigation is applied to Nintendo and Sony and they follow suit.

Nintendo is so bad that I struggled to even get a refund on physical purchases from their online UK store recently. Literally getting blood out of stone. They tried to make me jump through so many hoops that I knew they were hoping I would just give up.

I would absolutely never buy from there again if they weren't the sole retailer for the NSO controllers. I'm hoping the N64 ones are the last they produce because I really don't want to use them again after I finally buy those controllers when they restock them.

Need to get Dominic Littlewood or Matt Allwright on the case

@fbnaulin haha yeah, must be some of the Sierra games

@Banjo- lol I'm sure he will. The phrasing is just a bit weird. I looked up 80s Activision games and I can't say I recognise a huge amount of them. As franchises at least. Maybe Activision acquired some more 80s franchises over the years

Wait, how old is Phil Spencer? Lol, I wonder which childhood franchises he wants to bring back

Not appearing for me sadly

Not particularly but the reason is that gaming is far too expensive as it is. Between £500 consoles and £500-1000 storage upgrades, adding another VR headset into that mix will make me more sick than putting one of the damn things on.

I will eventually get a PS5 and the PSVR2 but I am not looking forward to paying that much money for it really.

I wish to they'd continue the story from Blacklist but ill happily play this still. Looks like it's the same developers as Blacklist too so should be good hopefully!!

I can't wait to unleash some hip hop justice!

50 Cent Blood on the Sand and MK Vs DCU! Awesome. I literally gave up on them becoming back compat and bought them on PS3 as well earlier in the year 😂

Loool that's an expensive coffee and a cheap beer!

@FraserG haha yeah, I must have been tired that day or maybe there were a lot of articles that were of interest to me all in one go. It's funny y'know, I feel like once I've read all the articles I want to on PX, PS and NL, that I deem myself to have "run out of internet" to look at for the day 😅.

4000+ though?! Just crazy how far this site has come since the relaunch! Congratulations and keep it up! 👏👏👏

@FraserG haha I know I tagged you in the Chit Chat thread pondering the lack of an article on this and I wondered whether I'd just missed it. My apologies, I just found this through a Google search.

Some of these comments seen familiar though, so I actually must have seen this article and forgotten about it completely! 🤦‍♂️

Easily Breath of the Wild from that list. I'll probably play some of the others either on game pass or at a steep discount

I don't think I even got the McLaren senna in fh4 😂

Does it have a RROD on the base of the shoe so it's the last thing your enemy sees before you fly kick them in the face

Nice, I have the Osiris game but didn't want to play it until I'd played guardian and I've been waiting ages for a steep sale!

Oh no I am terribly shock

Ooo 2TB, nice. Will wait for 4tb at a 75% discount

Just a quick heads up that the actual achievements might not pop until your game session has ended and you are back at the camp hub.

Also that you need to be playing with at least one other real person and not just bots. If your first matchmaking is filled with bots then quit and retry until you get some real players.

I could be wrong but that was my experience with it anyway when I played on Sunday.

@Krzzystuff yep, or that!!

@Krzzystuff ahhh if it's 20K then I hope we get twice as long to do it!!! I don't think I have that many short games left to play!!

The spice melange!!!!!!
