calex71 · 02-07-2014 9:49pm

Loved the complete lack of subtly of their metroid nod near the beginning where you

break the statue

Edit: There a tonne of references to other games in this

maximoose · 02-07-2014 9:51pm

Gotham City Imposters is pretty fun. It's a poor mans team fortress but a decent laugh for a few hours with some friends

mrcheez · 03-07-2014 11:06am

Can you play solo? My gold will run out in a few days!

Gotham City Imposters is online only, there's no single player mode.

mrcheez · 03-07-2014 1:44pm

d'oh

SamBrugha · 04-07-2014 2:38pm

Gotham imposters looks awesome for what it is though!

Mickeroo · 04-07-2014 3:47pm

I thought it was a free to play game anyway?

mrcheez · 04-07-2014 3:58pm

You still need gold to play online. Does it have bots like Quake 3 Arena?

I haven't yet installed the thing as I need to get a 32GB USB stick

Free to play on PC, xbox version was always a buy in.

Ah that's how I got confused. Is there still loads of micro transactions and that?

I dont know to be honest, I just heard some guy on a podcast clarifying the same point.

Battleblock Theater available for free from today on Xbox 360, website hasn't updated yet but presume if you search for the game it will be free to download...

kiddums · 17-07-2014 11:16am

Found this on the Xbox site there now, under Games with gold. Its in my queue now.

pm1977x · 17-07-2014 8:07pm

It's a cutesy puzzler/platformer but seems a bit easy, that said I only played the first 9 levels so maybe it gets more challenging?

Akrasia · 18-07-2014 11:20am

It was perfect for my 5 year old boy who breezed through the first chapter without much bother. Pausing only to explode the main character over and over again because when he blows up he makes a farting sound.

Hilarious.

murphyebass · 18-07-2014 2:15pm

Cute puzzle platformer? Seriously Microsoft out of all the games in the 360 library this is what we get for our annual subscription??!

Have you even looked at what Sony is doing with PS plus?!!

I could continue to rant but whats the point.

On the plus side due to me spending sooooo much time on the Gears of War and Halo franchises since launch I'm yet to play the bulk of the 360 catalogue.

I bought enslaved today for €6 in gamestop. That'll keep me busy for the weekend. Looks like a hidden gem for want of a better term. Got decent reviews but sold poorly.

Got loads of other games in the xtravision marketplace online shop recently too.

We got dark souls and street fighter 4 last month. To be honest I'd rather be getting games I've never played than aaa titles I'm almost certain to have bought at launch

pleasant Co. · 18-07-2014 2:37pm

"Games with gold" is fairly crap, hardly a selling point and more of a weak effort at matching sony's far superior model. Like you, I bought a shed load of games cheaply from XVmarketplace - recently finished Tomb Raider and currently trudging my way through AC4 (it's so boring and repetitive, but I've started it so I have to finish it!). My unplayed back catalogue should run out around about the time Destiny gets released so I think I'll make a call on which of the "next gen" consoles I'll invest in then.

Not everyone bought all AAA titles at launch or afterwards for that matter.

Also games like Enslaved which I bought today for €6 for example wouldnt be a AAA title and theres plenty more like that that didnt sell particularly well that still got good reviews.

Like pleasant Co. though I'm just attempting to get through my backlog.

I know I was giving out about the games for gold but I have no reason to really other than wanting something for my annual sub. PS plus is just such a better service in this regard. I actually have a backlog on my Vita at this point because they've given me so many top quality games since I bought it last year I cant keep up!

My current backlog on 360 will keep me going till Xmas 2016 thanks to the xtravision marketplace and precious little time on the telly!

Similarly, I too have a big backlog on 360 with Games for gold.
I sold my 360 to afford the X1, but I have been adding the games for gold games to my download queue. I'll pick up a 360 sometime soon for a few quid and play the hell out of them. Will keep me going for a long time.

Thats my problem with the service, anyone who is a heavy gamer is not rewarded by this at all unfortunately

Try 2 player local co-op, worlds 5, 6 and 7 will kick your ***

Also it's probably one of the funniest, in a dumb way, games i've ever played.

I actually paid about €15 for it on launch day cause i liked Castle Crashers so much

Crimson Dragon and Strike Suit Zero are Augusts free games with gold on xbox one, I'm happy with crimson dragon

On Xbox 360, starting Friday, August 1st, Motocross Madness (normally US $9.99) will be free for Xbox Live Gold members through August 15th.

Then on August 16th, Xbox Live Gold Members can download Dishonored (normally US $19.99) for free through August 31st.

Mickeroo · 28-07-2014 4:16pm

Dishonoured?? Nice!!! Delighted I never bought it in the sales now

Mr Freeze · 28-07-2014 4:18pm

Ah crap have both of them.

But good games to get for nothing especially Dishonoured.

Motorcross Madness only gets booted up when the wife's kid nephews visit and they love it. It was only 2euro in a sale at xmas.

Think I picked that up in the Steam Sale there recently...

Kerplunk124 · 28-07-2014 4:21pm

Good shout with Dishonored. one of favourite games from last gen. but yeah shame i've already played it ha

Yeah it's had good discounts on Xbox live too, nearly bought it last time but for I had too much of a back log to get through.

twam2008 · 28-07-2014 4:28pm

Crimson Dragon and Strike Suit Zero Xbox One August free games, don't think even free will get me download either of those.

Myrddin · 28-07-2014 4:35pm

Just a quick question, I presume you can't attach these free One games to your account if you don't have a One can you? Like how PS+ works, you 'buy' the content via the site...

You can via xbox.com.

I've been attaching them to mine, whether I'll be able to play them when I finally get a One or not I'm not sure but it definitely lets you "purchase" them at least.

I'm not sure, I've got free games via the Microsoft site before and then downloaded them when I got home but don't know if you have to have a console connected to your online account in order to do this.

PS. Motocross Madness and Dishonored will be available to gamers on the Xbox 360.

twam2008 · 28-07-2014 4:40pm

Wouldn't you also have to have a paid up Xbox Live account or they'd disappear each month?

Gah! Trying to buy it there via Xbox.com using the gold account. I stupidly set up that account with my sons real age (thinking I could monitor what he plays), & apparently purchasing with child/teen accounts isn't currently available. I looked in his privacy settings on the console, & purchasing of content is set to 'on'.

If you have a gold account when you purchase it, the you will be ok. It'll be listed as one of your games.

On Xbox one, if you want to play it at a later stage you will need a valid Gold account (or a console with Home Gold) to play the game.

calex71 · 28-07-2014 6:33pm

I paid 19.99 for Strike Suit Zero when it came out during a spate of boredom

No way it was worth it, it's kind of like zone of enders. I found it difficult due to controls not feeling right and hard to work out what was going on at times.

Dishonoured.... Having just been in the Ultimate Game Sale.... Now from what I've heard, I wasn't exactly robbed getting it for five or ten quid whatever it was, but seriously, even when they're giving away recent and critically acclaimed games they're pissing me off!

iColdFusion · 28-07-2014 10:33pm

I think Dishonored might be the first GwG that I havn't played and actually want!

Stone Deaf 4evr · 28-07-2014 10:41pm

Bit of a prediction, far cry 3 has been in the sales a lot lately too, I bet it'll be free before the 4th one drops.
