Yeah, I've been meaning to post about how much fun Worms is.
Probably wouldn't have bought it, but very pleased I got it through GwG.

I say meh because the game doesn't look good to me. At all.

Seems to have a certain charm to it.
Makes me wish there was a Rocket Riot sequel in development.

I suspect so. Interesting they haven't announced January's already. I wonder what it will be.

Anyone who says #IDARB looks meh hasn't played the game. Great game for Feb game with gold.
The competitive side is amazing, upto 8 players, story mode, mini games, twitter feeds, hashbombs, music creator, character/flag creator the game is just pure fun basically.
Consider myself lucky to have a copy already.

If MS had any sense, it would be Dead Rising 3 with a sale on the DLC.

Are we sure it's the February game and not a deal in February?

You meant Ryse right?
- Game no one buys anymore
- DLC out the wazoo
- Microtransactions
- Multiplayer that could use the population boost
- Could generate interest in a sequel and help fund it
Perfect candidate.

If there is a sequel, it won't be with MS, I doubt a GwG would do much for it tbh
Tried this game at Gamescom, 4v4, italy v England. I want it on my PS4. You are lucky to get it free

Ryse doesn't actually have that much DLC, not sure why people think that's the case and any sequel would be entirely down to Crytek, so that's pretty much a no with their current financial situation.
Dead Rising 3 is the better candidate. There's a game that could do with generating some interest for a sequel.

Hmm. Guess I was in denial. I might download this not sure.

At first, I thought #IDARB looked dumb and like something I might not enjoy. Then I read about/noticed the hockey/basketball comparisons, so I now want to check it out.
Normally, multiplayer and frenetic games aren't ones I'm into, but it's interested me. (I play MP sparingly. It's fun in short bursts, just not all the time.)

Powerstars Golf (full) please. Already been done in Europe.
I highly doubt January will be a retail game. Plenty of parents bought retail games for their kids for christmas, and it would stink if they unwrapped Dead Rising 3 on Christmas only to get it for free a week later. I think it will be a digital title like Lococycle or Powerstar Golf.

Can't imagine many parent bought their kids Dead Rising 3. Seems more likely they'd have bought them GTA5/CoD/FIFA.

Dead Rising 3 would be an ideal GWG for me, because I really enjoyed it but sold my purchased copy while I could get some cash for it, to put towards another game.
It was just before the Street Fighter DLC -- which I'd like to play -- was announced, so I kind of kicked myself.

Grandma totally bought Dead Rising 3 for $50 from a pharmacy.
Because its what the kids like.
I don't really mind any game at all. My preference for self published games are that they release that month. MS should make that a thing so it doesn't devalue already released independent digital titles.

No hahaha

I had to ask. The mention of a pharmacy threw me off.

Worms
Super Time Force
Max
Strike Suit Zero
While we could do with more brand new releases, it's not all bad either.
Worms is great, even better because the group I played with are all awful which leads to some great laughs.
In Canada Shopper's Drug Mart does. It's a pharmacy, but the ones over here are like big convenience stores as well (sells some groceries, makeup, etc). I think Walgreens in the US is similar.
P.S. -
I got Dead Rising 3 at a pharmacy. $20 though.

Shopper's Drug Mart seems to dislike Microsoft, because its entire game/console/accessory selection is almost entirely PS/Nintendo here.
Been awhile since I posted my spreadsheet, but I've made some changes. You can now see separate Values, Average Age/Release Dates & Metacritic averages on Xbox One, Xbox 360, Xbox 360 disc or Xbox 360 XBLA titles.
Currently they have given away $144.91 worth of Xbox One games & they're averaging about 7 months old & a 72 Metacritic score. For the other platforms check this link...

Well, a very good month if you own both consoles.
Rite-Aid has a small 'value games' section (games under $20).

Fantastic, finally more people will get to play D4. A good move on Microsoft's part.

D4 is the one digital title that pleases me as much as Powerstar Golf would have. Well done.

Not for a much longer time. A ton of new Xbox owners will be buying games in January and February, and DR3 should sell a fair number of copies. They would be better off waiting. You might make a better case for Ryse, but even that is going to sell some copies on sale, there is no need to give it away yet.
Mostly, using online subscription revenue to give away free games is dumb. I pay for a solid online environment, not free games. I understand why sony had to start this, since they had to convince people that paying for online made sense after it was free for so long. But I think it appears to have held back PSN from becoming as solid and stable as it needs to be.
And really, XBL is not as stable as it was before they started giving away games. But then, Microsoft is collecting less money towards online play now, because of the free content they give away. I'd still take XBL over PSN in a second, and I'm 99% happy with XBL anyway. But I kinda wish they would both stop the giveaways and just invest in the online environment we all want.
