Crytek have been on their last legs for a good few months now, which means that we'll most likely only see another Crysis from them, as that's still their best selling franchise.

Hope they turn it around.

Scorpio launch title confirmed ... I mean, it worked so well going as an Xbox One launch title.

Downloading Ryse now. Hope it's worth it.

Not showing on GWG but showing as free when I search in store.

It's not. Despite the impressive opening scenes, the gameplay is ****e.

I enjoyed Ryse. It does what it says on the tin. Try the co-op multiplayer. That's is actually quite good. It's wave mode in the coliseum.

Ryse (One) and Darksiders (360) both available for free now (So no, Ryse was not an elaborate April Fool's!

)

CatInABox · 16-04-2017 09:54AM

The Walking Dead Season 2

Assassin's Creed Revelations

Just finished Ryse there: it's a fairly decent game (bit of a button masher at times), but stunning looking and a decent story to boot. I'm not sure why it was so painfully derided at launch.

Now, with the single player out of the way, should I bother to enter the multiplayer mode?

The multiplayer is great craic. It's horde mode colosseum style with cool solo and co-op executions.

The game was basically vilified by many people who were anti-Xbox One back in 2013.

Finished it myself over the wkd, good game, just got a bit repetitive really! Must try the multiplayer at some stage.

Not a bad month in my opinion, but I can see a few people grumbling over it.

Lara Croft. The lovely Lara Croft.

nearly bought Temple of Osiris a week or so back so not bad, never heard of the sisters game?

It used to be a knock off of Mario Bros on the NES. I don't think it was ever deserving of a remaster/remake, but ah well.

Had it on the amiga. I'd say the level design was identical to Mario!

Won't be downloading anything in may

I posted here a week and a half ago or so saying I was starting this so thought I would update.

Well...

It's brilliant, love it. Have just arrived in Velen after about 7hrs of play (really wish I had more time to play). Did everything I could do in White Orchard, playing on Blood and Broken Bones difficulty.

I picked up the season pass earlier this week as it was on sale on the PS store for €12.99.

The only negative point I have is that the music, although good, is limited in variety and so can get a bit repetitive. Everything else is excellent.

Glad you're enjoying the Witcher 3 bud but this is the Xbox games with gold thread :P

Anybody would think I'm a noob around here!

Well that's what you get when you try to juggle posting on Boards with monitoring software builds and deployments and then chasing DBAs to fix database issues!

Let normal service resume.... :pac:

TerrorFirmer · 28-04-2017 05:57PM

While I'm not pushed about either of those XB1 titles that's a pretty solid 360 offering. Force Unleashed 2 is a great game and Lego Star Wars is always a decent laugh.

Better month for younger players this month,so I'm pleased. Lego Star Wars has to be on every console in the house, I think it's a local bylaw.

CatInABox · 01-05-2017 10:11AM

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams - Director's Cut

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

CatInABox · 15-05-2017 11:55PM

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris

LEGO Star Wars: TCS

The Star Wars one was free when I went to "purchase" it, it just hasn't updated the front end on it. Just confirm yourselves if you're going to download it tonight.

Love these reminder posts, they are great for people like me with memory of a goldfish. Thanks.

Xbox One:

SpeedRunners
Watch_Dogs

Xbox 360:

Assassin's Creed 3
Dragon Age Origins

Bonus:
Phantom Dust DLC

Happy with Watchdogs anyway. The 360 ones are solid as well, even if I've got Dragon age from EA Access.

It's a good game. I played both Watch_Dogs games and I prefer the first one.

It got slated in reviews for some reason but thought it was fairly decent. Good game to get for free anyway.

Max Mafioso · 23-05-2017 04:46PM

The driving in the first one really annoyed me, I had to get rid of it cause I just couldnt do it but the driving in the second one is much better.
Not the Month for me,Speedrunner is the only game from that list I dont have but I've enjoyed what was given the last few months so no complaints here
