Xbox Game Pass

That's still possible but I think the conversion rate has changed to 3 years of gold is now 2 years ultimate....I think. Mine runs out in 4 days so will be trying the conversion route again

Saw Techtonica was added today. Gave it a quick spin and I'm liking it so far. Lots to get the head around but i'm interested for now anyway. First person auto factory game.

Edit: Aaaand I'm hooked. It's still a bit rough, and the brightness of the natural lights makes the rest of the appear very dark. But it's otherwise good graphics wise. Typical factory style game but in first person, which at times makes me wish I could zoom out, but I see there's an upgrade for that. Good bit of learning, and constant regret of placing something in a certain place when twenty minutes later it would have made more sense to do it a different way... already tempted to start again, but rejigging is fairly straight forward. It leans more towards factory/line management than resource collection, and is indicating it will be fully auto once you're all done.

Recommended for people who are looking for something laid back. Can be done in co-op, if you have those things called friends.

Unlocked something to make the cranks turn automatically. I spent the entire night completely changing the layout rather than progress the game. It's like Vampire Survivors, I'm still playing but I'm not entirely sure if I'm enjoying myself. Hooked...

Game Pass will be well worth having in September and October,especially with Starfield and Forza Motorsport coming out.

I have ordered the 8BitDo Pro 2 wired, should be here Monday. Seeing as it'll probably turn my SX into sim and CoD console, might as well get a comfortable controller!

I blame you entirely for finding myself still playing this at 3am on Friday night!!

Anyone get Antstream Arcade ? Worth it ?

No bothers, I shall take responsibility for that. Pretty sure I'm at end game, but there's no end game yet... stupid addictive game. Love it.

Me too. Had to force myself to go to bed last night whilst trying to figure out why one end of my monorail isn't powered!

Potential-Monke

Monorail is busted. It only works for one transfer the second you load the game. Then won't work again until you reload. Which makes it pointless. But handy for zipping around the place!

Really enjoying Midnight Fight Express. Leaves GP middle of the month but is fairly short game. Each level is only about 5 mins so great for dipping in and out of, fun beat em up

I got it - the 12 month for €29.99 version.

It's really good, obviously tons and tons of games from all kinds of systems. You get the odd bit of distortion now and again with the sound but that could just be connection dependent. The presentation and layout is fine, lots of daily challenges if you're into that kind of thing, everything loads quickly.

Not perfect, but very good. Full list of games here - These 1400+ Games Are Included With Antstream Arcade On Xbox | Pure Xbox

How good is Tinykin? Decided to give it a whirl last night as its in list leaving GP end of this month. Its brilliant, looks like a random cutey platformer, also has a good few puzzle game elemwnts but so well designed that you won't get frustrated, very well balanced levels. Looking forward to diving back in later

Thanks for this. I had never heard of it and was playing it all evening. Hopefully I will finish it before the month is out. (I should do)

If you like this game check out Supraland and Supraland Six Inches Under. They are similar to this game.

Glad your enjoying it, it's a real hidden gem.

Thanks for the other recommendations, the 2nd one looks to be on GP so will check that next

I introduced Tinykin to my better half after it being mentioned on here. Thanks, now I can't get on the Xbox because she is flat out playing Tinykin, she loves it lol.

It's gone...

In fairness, I only realised last night when my brother sent me a message telling me that his kids couldn't play any games. I hadn't used it in weeks.

1 months gamespass sub on CD keys & Gamivo has went quite a bit, I assume its a knock on to Microsoft increasing its own prices?

I'm looking forward to giving F1 Manager 23 a go on Gamepass. Hopefully I will be more successful than when I was playing Grand Prix Manager 2 in the 90's.

Available on the 19th of October.

Should be available to play now :)

padair

I managed to give it a quick spin, there is not much hand holding. I think a YouTube tutorial will be needed

sweetie

just wondering is game share still a thing? I've not much time to play these days but would anybody be interested in sharing a gamepass sub like people do with Netflix? cheers
