    Pretty weak alright, Its disappointing to see the EA titles popping up so often, surely any sane human being would sign up for EA access before buying one of them, even on sale.

    I haven't signed up to access but I'm better off paying 25 for the year rather that 18 for peggle and p vs z on sale, what other games are on it?

    No brainer!

    I'm expecting the Ultimate Summer Games sale to happen in the next week or 2 so I'll keep my hopes for that instead!

    Is that confirmed?

    Or just hoping they have a big sale!?

    Not confirmed. Just an assumption & going on hints from Reddit.

    tried 4 times to download Thief
    last time it was at 11% so I left it and came back a while later and no joy again
    so annoying
    my internet is slow but it download the 4gb update for batman on the one the other day . the 360 seems to stop and wipe the download if there is a slowdown /disconnection I think

    I've given up on trying. Starts downloading and then states "cannot be downloaded" .. Not bothered with it now.

    Is Chivalry the same as the PC PvP game? Always liked the look of it.

    Yeah it looks to be the same alright! :)

    Is this a known issue? Same happened to me, then I went to the HDD to check and I've a load of games with gold that failed to download. It's a second profile Xbox that I only really use for Sky and Netflix so I hadn't checked the games.

    yeah, its gone really bad over the last 4 months or so. If I want to download a game, I'll have to click download, then leave the progress bar on screen until its finished, its very annoying, but if you've at least tried to start the download at any stage, you'll still be able to get those games now.

    Someone on reddit saying the first episode of Life Is Strange is free at the moment, maybe someone can check the store to see if it's true. Worth a try if you like the Telltale games, though the description of "Dawson's Creek The Game" isn't too far off :P Has a really good soundtrack though.

    It's head and shoulders above anything tell tale have done in terms of choice mattering , some pretty big bombshells in ep 2 and 3 and even little decisions have a knock on effect. Any game that has a sparklehorse some in it gets a pass in my book :)

    Not showing as free on .com for me.

    Balls, apparently it's only a trial and not the whole episode. My bad guys!

    I really enjoyed episode one but I've been waiting for the season pass to go on sale before I play the rest.

  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,901 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Is the regular version of far cry discounted too?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,220 ✭✭✭maximoose


    I am a sucker for Lego Games.. €18 for Lego Batman 3 + six DLC packs seems like a steal

    How long are these deals live for?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭Stone Deaf 4evr


    Diablo 3 for 30, well worth a go at that, State of decay down to 20, and 50% off the telltale collection (I cant see the price as i already own it).
