Nutjitsu finally nabs a worldwide release
Also, boy is Kickbeat going to be a divisive game. Way too much learning curve, methinks.

Normal mode is easy enough, but bumping it up seems like a huge difficulty spike. Also, survival mode is practically unplayable for me since they lock the difficulty of it to the second highest difficulty...I can't for the life of me even make it past the first song.

is kickbeat a kinect game?

Nope. You play it with just the four face buttons, while the triggers or bumpers activate powers or items.
I agree, Normal mode is fine once you get the hang of it. I haven't tried Survival yet.
Friend of mine did the training and just hated it, which is why I worry about the game a bit.
I'm pretty annoyed at a glitched achievement in Stick It To The Man. I'm stuck at 940/1000 because the Bird In The Sky achievement is broken (don't get noticed by the helicopter in a certain chapter). I've met the requirements 5+ times now and no achievement. Boooooo.
It's a wonderful, cute little puzzle game any way, with a nice art style and fantastic humorous dialogue.

Worth noting you can also use the D-Pad directions instead of the face buttons if that suits you. I actually prefer that method myself since I spilled a drink on the face buttons and they stick

Kickbeat is available now.
And it kicked my ass. Tough learning curve and hard as hell. Could not beat a track in hard level up to now.

I should have my review up tonight. Game is tough on anything other than normal difficulty. Survival is borderline unplayable

Didn't see it posted but The Golf Club is 25% off right now.

Wondering if I should wait for a better deal. I already have too much to play now.

I'm in a similar boat, especially with Shadow of Mordor coming next week. I usually enjoy golf games as a side game to what I'm mainly playing though so I couldn't resist.

China is getting their fist ID@Xbox exclusive game on Monday Sep 29th: Naughty Kitties
It is a side-scrooler shmup:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eopz5wJhCxs
Should be only available in the Chinese marketplace. Since the Chinese Xbox One is region-locked, there is no ideia if anyone will be able to get this outside China.

Oh wow. Naughty Kitties looks like a special level of terrible.
That's an understatement. Holy shit, it looks awful.
I didn't think it looked terrible (Flash-like, sure, but so Does Angry Birds, no?), but that depends on the point of the game.
If the point is to set up different load outs of kitties to defeat varied waves of enemies, that's one thing. It could demo very badly, unless the player knows what they're doing.
If it's a straight shooter that's suppose to have fast-moving waves and patterns, then yeah, it looks like it has way too many gaps in enemy attacks. It would look fundamentally flawed.
Either way, it looks like it has more personality than Nutjitsu. And even that's OK for it's price. If this is cheap enough, I'd be interested in trying it out, if it releases outside of China. Any mention of a price?

My KickBeat: Special Edition review is up. Please check it out.
Features screenshots and video of split-screen mode, which you won't see in many other places.
BTW, I hate having to strip the music out of gameplay videos in order to avoid copyright claims. Wish it wasn't necessary.
That's awesome. Not that the game looks great, but new regional exclusives are very interesting. Others have pointed out that there's a good chance Chinese exclusives could show up on the Hong Kong Xbox Store, which is not region-locked. I'm hoping for it.

I was expecting that too, at least in the Chinese Hong Kong Marketplace but the game page is already up in China and no sign of it yet in HK.

Chinese webmarketplace has updated again:
https://store.xbox.com/zh-CN/
Now it also lists Neverwinter Online. Interesting to see if it will be available for purchase too, since it should be a pack in game.
Worth mention that the games aren't significantly cheaper as expected. Retail games like Kinect Sports and Rayman are CN 199 (US$ 33) and Forza is CN 249 (US$ 43) while digital only like Dance Central is CN 49 (US$ 8.50).

I was messing around with the region settings on my console. While I can set it to Chinese/China Mainland when I log in it redirects me to the Hong Kong marketpace. So there are restrictions in place. I am wondering if the store is ip locked or console locked. The fact that I can access the Chinese web Marketplace makes me thing it is not ip locked, but you may need a chinese console to login in the correct region. Without it even if you could buy/queue free games using the webmarketplace you would not be able to download them (because you can log in using the console).

Updated the OP, some release dates here people might not be aware of:
I only picked those games for "Fall 2014" release because they're the only ones I know of specifically. Totem should be October but we've not heard about it in a while so maybe it got moved back to November/December

Flockers is on sale for $18 for another week as part of Deals With Gold. The other XB1 deal is Sniper Elite V3 at 33% off.
I highly recommend Flockers to anyone that's a puzzle game fan. Too bad there isn't a demo. Christ anyone with a passing interest in puzzle games would snap this up in a heartbeat if he/she just played the first 2-3 levels and saw what the mechanics looked like.

Spectra 8-bit racing:
How to Survive Storm Warning Edition:
More games! Spectra looks quite cool, how was How to Survive on 360 etc? It came out a few months after State of Decay and I thought they seemed quite similar so I didn't end up trying it (as I was playing other stuff)
GwayInteractive: @Steverulez currently Certing with the Xbox team. It will be out as quickly as we can get it to you.

Ive asked them to double check, but when I was scouting around yesterday I saw it said October 7th, i'll update if its incorrect though

I was going to say that I was going off of the STEAM release date and just assuming it was the same. Glad you got confirmation though!

thx. I hope it's 10/7 though.

Any idea when this is going live?
I saw those deals on xbox.com while at work. When I went home the XB1 dashboard still says only KI and Flockers are on sale... Maybe the site was wrong about Sniper Elite...
The funny thing about this is that it was mentioned as being at that pre-convention ID@XBOX game thing from a bit ago, so it was pretty strongly "hinted" at from that point on.
I'm kind or sad that very little impressions seemed to come out of that. We hear nothing about Legend of Raven, but it was there... Chariot was too, but at least it has a solid date.
Just feel like there should be more previews / impressions for games that seem to go from announcement to release fairly silently. I hope Rise of Aether really pushes the character and stage reveals as it gets closer to release. I look forward to having some fighters on the system other than KI series.

Yeh, I was going to add it to the OP and noticed I had already put it in there a while ago and linked it to a Gamescom video (presumably its listed on the video I didn't re-watch it if I'm honest).
Kind of strange, oh well.

MS really took a step back this gen without demos. Like many people are going to buy a $25 indie game they've heard little or nothing about.
Conrad Link

I remember being shocked when I couldn't find many demos on Xbox One, after they went so hard last gen with making sure almost everything had one. Just one of the many aspects from Xbox 360 I really loved.

I see it up on xbox.com now too on the deals page. Hopefully it updates on the store soon.
Edit* The 33% discount is up xbox.com.
