I still have Plants vs Zombies and Worms on the mail. (Yes, I buy my retail games physical, a collector's thing).

Nice, this will be great for a golf sim fix. But in the meantime, Powerstar Golf is suiting me fine and has actually dethroned Hot Shots Golf for my favorite arcadey golf game. It's amazing.

I've been eagerly awaiting The Golf Club's release on the XBox One myself. I beta tested the PC version, and have been playing the Early Access version, but my PC really isn't up to the task of running this game at 1080p/60 FPS, which the game deserves. I don't have confirmation on it yet, but rumors are that the XB1 version will be running close to 60 FPS @ 1080p. That will be a whole lot better than the 1600 x 900, low detail graphics settings I've been using on the PC, just to hit 30 FPS.
I'm a little worried about The Golf Club making it through certification its first time through though. While this certainly isn't the first title that HB Studios has developed, I think it's the first one they've tried to publish themselves. I'm also worried how Microsoft is going to come down on HB Studios plans for cross-platform course sharing. My gut tells me that they're going to deny them the rights to do this, but HB Studios has hinted that they have something up their sleeves to make it a reality.
In the end, I'll be shocked if The Golf Club is in the XBox Store by the end of this month, but one can hope. I don't think Microsoft is exactly overwhelmed with game submissions for the One at present so maybe it will get a lot of attention.
Ugh, I bought Powerstar Golf a while back when it was on sale ($10 I think) and have yet to play it. I really need to as the reason I bought it was hoping it would be a great replacement for Hot Shots Golf. Thanks for the reminder!

I currently have Watch_Dogs, Battlefield 4, TitanFall, Max, Halo (small game), Powerstar Golf, Trials and Guacamelee installed on my Xbox One. LOL
I think I'll be able to get through the generation just fine.

Well, there is Halo: SA, but that was free so it's alright.

The hate Halo SA gets saddens me, I thought it was really good
Yup. A great twin stick shooter. I hope they do more little games like this in the Halo universe. Maybe make the levels a little longer next time.

I wanted to love it, I'm a huge fan of twin stick shooters. I just didn't enjoy the game at all, didn't even complete it.

those two were actually very hard to resist sales. Anyway I agree they are bad.

Divekick rated by PEGI
Stick it to the Man, Pure Pool and Warframe rated by USK
They were rated on other places already I think but hopefully we're seeing things come through soon

Wow, totally worth picking up at that price. I played this more than Titanfall.

PS4 is 1080p and has some extra PS character themed costumes. Just ask yourself if that is worth the extra $16. If so then hold off, if not, grab it. Also wherever your friends are likely to play it

Has there been a sale yet on Killer Instinct? I'm specifically thinking of the 19.99 Combo Breaker Pack of all 8 characters.
Side question: is there anything worthwhile in the Ultra Edition (39.99)? It seems to be costumes, accessories and the original arcade game. Is that it? I don't think I'd be bothered with that at all.
Also, how will the Season 2 thing work? Will that be another 19.99 for 8 more characters as DLC for the game? Or is it an actual separate game?

UK ripped a new one again, PvZ is £20.87 down from a whopping £35, now the disc version never sold above £29 at launch and you can buy it now on disc for around £22 so the saving here is minimal.
Buy from the US store for £14, my console is set to UK and i use the US store no problem.
I just picked it up a few days ago from Target (price matched Amazon). The resolution is just fine at 900p, the game looks great and is so fun. It's a steal digitally right now.

i'm not willing to use my card with an overseas address, could buy credit on ebay or something I suppose.
I own it already from launch, even with tax included we still get robbed.

Really want to play Warframe. I liked it on PC, but was playing alone. I have friends I can probably get into it on Xbox One.

Same here, I tested Warframe out on my pc and it runs well but I really want to make something of it with my xbox one.

This. It's ridiculous how simple it is to top up your UK account with US credit!

Wildfire and Picture Reel look very cool -- interested in learning more about them.
A fairly recent game gets a 33% sale and Ryse, a then 8 month old game got a 16% cut for the sale.
The logic is strong.
Actually I am pretty sure the XBox One version has some exclusive split screen options. I am not sure if they are exclusive to XBox One or just to next gen consoles (meaning I know the XBox 360 version does NOT have the split screen mode but not sure about PS4).

They were selling Ryse at $40 back in February too, they labeled it "an experiment on digital game pricing". Wolfenstein is probably the second round of that experiment. I think it's a good price, I was tempted for Ryse and am tempted again for Wolfenstein, although I will probably pass in the end.

I'm sure there's more taken into consideration into these sales than just the length a game has been out. MS probably figures Ryse has longer sales legs or potential for a series than Wolfenstein. Or they're planning on including it as a GwG game in the coming months.
Looks like those screens confirm the Game Arena App
