Xbox Games with Gold
« on: June 18, 2014, 09:36:41 PM »
October GWG - sorry I didn't update the thread. I'm giving up on Gold next month, since I haven't turned on my 360 more than once a month, and only to grab GWG titles that are region-blocked half the time anyway.



Thanks, demi!

PS: mods should feel free to update the OT any time they like.

But what is a Charlie Murder?

It's an RPG from the maker of Dishwasher and Vampire Smile, a young, solo "indie" developer with lots of backing from Microsoft who has some decent design ability and the art skills of an angry 15-year-old with a Pee-Chee Folder and a Bic.

Hey, he made the I Made A Game With Zombies In It game too, which was pretty much the best zombie game and final word on that trend which has of course still continued to lumber on like a zombie would.

lol at the repeat already although max is a surprisingly good game.

The two 360 games are good also. Gotham City imposters is a good under-rated mp shooter.

No retail games(even on 360) and one of the games is a repeat?  :fbm

Guacamelee makes up for it to me as long as they don't keep doing repeats. Been wanting to try it even though I've had it from an indie bundle for a while.

Kinda excited for Gotham City Imposters; almost bit several times at sale prices, but worried about finding a game. If it's free, it's going to be a dog pile.

Guacamelee is also free for 360 on Xbox.com for those that haven't made it to current gen.

Its not free. Morons cant read descriptions and titles on Xbox.com well.

Buy a BONE already, Scenester. Ghotham City Imposters might as well be a sweaty nutsack to the face.

Guacamelee is awesome, either way. But getting 1000 pts over a meager 400 makes BONE version superior.

It's actually pretty fun, though I don't know how serious you are about your arcade-style racers. Motorcycle racer, at that. You do stunts to gain boost, and then boost to pull off better stunts. Tracks have the standard Midtown Madness/Midway Rush style shortcuts which can be beneficial unless you biff it, then you're hurting. Rubberband AI like a motherfucker, so don't think you can slip up on higher level tracks.

There's also an open-world exploration mode where you go around in a collect-a-thon, which I am not fond of because the non-race feel of the controls is slippery.

I have played 12 hours of it, and am always happy to go back to it. It's relaxing, for a race game.

:lol

I've GOT TO quit playing World of Tanks and get on to a real game like Dishonored. I really dig this type of game, and I'm hoping it's playable on standard controller rather than KB/M. There are some crazy videos from PC players out there WRECKING the AI.

co-op stealth/action game.

It's not bad.

It's a top-down, multiplayer stealth game, where each player has a special ability which allows every map to be played differently depending on the player's class or combination of classes in play.

I look at it like multiplayer Pac-Man with Perks.

It's pretty fabulous. It's good in single, but really gets fun in multi.

I started playing Dishonored last night. Really nice graphics!

The thing that first struck me was how dishonored the protagonist is. I mean, he had all this honor, then POOF, it's gone!!

Played solo, the game is fun.
Played with randoms, I can only imagine that they make life more difficult.
Played with people who communicate what they're doing, it's a lot of fun.
