Are they serious with that price for Brothers?
So much for buying it day one, I'll wait for it to hit GwG.

I played it on 360. The game is great, but has little to no replay and will take 4 hours to beat, less if already played like me. So $20 for 2-3 hours of gameplay doesn't do it for me. Don't have that strong of a desire to return to the game.

Wolfe the Red Hood Diaries is no longer coming to XB1 as the studio is disbanding due to poor sales and reception of the game on STEAM leading to bankruptcy.

I really need to buy the founders pack. The game is so good and I play it a lot (less with Rare Replay out now though).

Too bad.
At least I can still pick it up on Steam.RedSparrows

It's a steal. I've played Smite for many, many hours now, and it's a very good deal.

You can, but I wouldn't recommend paying very much for it. Woolfe has cool character designs and art, but the actual game is a mess and the story will never be finished.

Saw this the other day, terrible news. Wasn't too interested in the game myself, but it had potential and always sad to see things end this way.
Mad Max is now available for Pre-Order:
https://store.xbox.com/en-US/Xbox-One/Bundle/Mad-Max-Preorder/4a411a1a-17d6-4a29-8fcf-9f034d419be1
I liked what I saw so I think I might get it.

Looks like Vector Unit are working on Riptide GP:
Renegade, their first built for console game since Hydro Thunder Hurricane which is awesome news. Riptide GP2 was good but it was built for mobile so I can't wait to see what this looks like

I did like Riptide GP enough to 1K it. Beach Buggy Racing not so much, which I think is the same company.
I'd love it if they could recapture the magic of Jet Moto, which is what they kind of tapped into with Riptide. But if this is just a bigger version of the games they've been making, then I'll probably wait until it's available for a few bucks.

Hehe. Yeah. I love Wave Race too.

beach buggy was a f2p mobile game that they tried, it had a huge update because it started as an endless runner/driver unless that was yet another version i'm forgetting about.
riptide 1 and 2 are the superior games of theirs though.

Prototype and Prototype 2 are also available separately now (although in not sure who in their right mind would pay $25 a piece for them)
you could probably buy a 360 and those two games on 360 for not much more than that.

Definitely could, I saw some 360s at goodwill for like $30 haha

Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings - $19.99/£15.99 888mb with 15% off ($16.99/£13.59) - There is also a trial available
This game is so cool. Haven't even popped my first achievement yet, but I know I love it.
My only complaint is that you can't suspend a game, and if you quit, it's an automatic forfeiture. I understand it's to avoid cheaters on the leaderboards, but it's annoying.
Fortunately, the games are fairly quick (for baseball anyway.)

I get a Re-volt vibe... looking forward to your review on the 4th!

It's finally here! I've been craving a baseball game for so long (RBI doesn't count in my eyes). I played a couple of games last night and really enjoyed it.
Although it is cartoony, the in-game elements are good and fulfills my baseball needs. Actually, I find the cartoon elements help in my enjoyment of the game. There is some skill behind mastering hitting and pitching. I also love that you can really pinpoint your pitches to earn your strikeouts.
I had hoped there was a way to upgrade your players in a season aside from hiring coaches, but I can't seem to find it. I still have to play more to learn about the full season features, but there is a lot of promise behind this one for me.
Thank you Metalhead for bringing this to XBox One! I'm looking forward to playing more!

It's there. The coaches are kind of like "equipment" that you can slot into open spots on players.

This might not be the thread for it but I suddenly have this unshakeable desire to have Quantum Break (whether through cutscenes, television show, in game conversations, diary entries, whatever) to go in depth into all time travelling paradoxes and thought experiments, like the paradox of a man going back in time to kill his parents, or the paradox of someone being magically given the blueprints to a time travelling machine by an elderly man, then living a full life, and deciding to go back at old age to give himself blueprints to the time travelling machine, etc... Just dissect every single time travelling paradox and really get in depth about any physical theories regarding the subject.

might pick this up, especially if there's a demo. It's a shame there hasn't been a good MLB licensed game on the xbox platform since the original one.

got mine too. $15 credit on a $30 game. awesome.
good call.
1) I don't understand why there is no store link that actually takes you to the correct spot, that I can find on the main site. The link is https://store.xbox.com/en-US/
B) I hate how things that aren't released (and some you can't even preorder) are listed first. There should be a separate tab for those. You have to dig down like 2-3 pages to get to something that's actually released.

Awesome! Riptide GP2 was surprisingly good and easily worth the $5 I paid for it. Can't wait for the next one.
I think it's $20
SkinnerSw33t

Oh yeah? That's tempting. In the other thread, JaseC had said the U.S. RRP is $29.99. Not sure where he got that info though.
That would be a buy for me then. Hopefully its still $20 in Canada too.
