Do you need to own Forza Horizon 2 to play/buy the Fast/Furious game? On the store it says "Bundle Only".

Probably requires forza hub which is free

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Here is our review of LA Cops: http://xboxgamer.me/la-cops-review/

 

[Montresor]

Nope, it should be a stand alone expansion that does not require Horizon 2.

Probably requires forza hub which is free

Cheers.

I finished my first playthrough of Ziggeraut on Easy. It was interesting but I was never in any real danger of ever dying. I don't see myself ever playing Easy again with each class. Hopefully normal is challenging enough without being frustrating. All in all I'm slightly disappointed. Hand of Fate was much more interesting.

 

[E92 M3]

Does Zig have a demo by any chance? In theory it sounds like something I would like, but want to try it out first.

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

No, unfortunately. No demo on Steam or Xbox.

 

[Steverulez]

First confirmed release date for April

 

[E92 M3]

Thanks. Demos really help me out on games I'm not sure about - don't know why this gen they are such a rarity. On the 360, everything had a demo. Good times.

Devs didn't like it, there was a separate certification process and it took a while, so MS gave devs what they wanted.

New (I think?) trailer for Slain.

bladestorm has a demo, think its new.

edit: and uninstalled, this is one bad, ugly game.

Even with the stupid 3 point achievements, I think I'll jump in at that price.

Devs bitched about them. So now $20 indie games have to sell on word of mouth and twitter marketing or something.

I got so many impulse buys on xbla after getting hooked with a demo. oh well, their loss. There's probably stats that show demos aren't worth it for most people.

April? And no date given. Hmm... GWG perhaps?
I wish. haha

Gonna pick up Threes at that price, seems fun enough.

Nah, not a chance imo. They said they were working hard on it, it could slip to May but April is the official word.

Eh, not enough decent deals.

Might check out Threes, but I'm not sure I'd ever play it on the X1. It's more of a five/ten minute game when you're waiting for the train or when you're bored at work...

You can snap it and play while watching something else (like a semi-interesting TV show). But, personally, I just use my iPad for that.

 

[Steverulez]

Threes is fantastic on Xbox one, I love using it in snap

I hope they eventually release it on Windows 10 with cross-buy. And lower the price to $1.99.

Im really hopin they work on retroactive cross buy for games like Ori and State of Decay on Win10. Phil already said Ori should be there, so I'm really hoping they take cross buy seriously

 

[Baron_Calamity]

I'm thinking about picking one of these games up for the XO. Any feedback on these two? Compared to the pc versions?

I bought a tons of xbla games thanks to the demos.The developers are losing money from me for not releasing demos.

Thanks. Demos really help me out on games I'm not sure about - don't know why this gen they are such a rarity. On the 360, everything had a demo. Good times.

The same for me.If i can't play a demo i only buy the games i'm sure i like 100%.They lose with me.

 

[Diablohead]

Everything on sale this week in the UK is a rip off, apart from threes.

Yet again.

Escapists is a blast. I've only been to the first two prisons and I've had so much fun running around doing favors, jobs, and so forth that a lot of times I spend a hour or two without even progressing towards my escape. Surprisingly deep game as far as the options for crafting and escaping. I paid $20 and have not regretted the purchase.

Me too, I'm picking up a surface when the 4 Is announced partly for streaming but if I can get crossbuy on some of these smaller indie titles it will be the perfect device for me to take on the go as well.

Bleh.

Already have horizon 2, but zero interest in the rest. I'm already tired of seeing deluxe editions on sale.

Their loss. I only impulse purchase games that are ten or under. Demos have sold me on numerous titles. If the game is good, then a demo will sell it more.

I like Roundabout much better, although I find its map confusing. The core mechanic is fun and it has a nice sense of humor. Escapists is lots of trial and error with not enough explanation and a bad UI. But some people really get into it.

Slender for xbox one is available right now
Slender

$9.99 reg price
$6.99 for Gold members.

I wasn't going to buy it but for $7 why not.

 

[Bsigg12]

I like the idea of new games getting some sort of launch week discount for Gold members. I wish they would do it with $59.99 games as well.

 

[Aguero9320]

Pure Hold'em Beta is now available to download - not heard of it before, but giving it a go!

Played a few hands of holdem last night. It was fun, but the game froze and crashed after about 15 mins of playing.

 

[Family Fry]

If you have any Pure Hold'em issues don't forget to fill out survey for the developers.

Grabbed Slender. Really wasn't planning on it, but for that price I couldn't say no

There are easter eggs in the Xbox One version of Steam World Dig
http://www.gamesradar.com/steamworld-dig-tunnelling-its-way-xbox-one/

The Xbox One version will largely be a straight port, but with a few small differences. Sigurgeirsson says of the port: “There's a quite elaborate Easter Egg for the Xbox version - a gaming thing that we really wanted to reference. And a number of tweaks to make it overall better, although they may not stand out as giant differences. Overall we prefer to keep our versions similar to each other, it keeps everybody happy.”

Here's my Slender: The Arrival review. I think it captures what the game is like, from start to finish, pretty well. Please check it out.

So...anyone doing an OT for Fast and Furious tomorrow?

I hope they eventually release it on Windows 10 with cross-buy. And lower the price to $1.99.

I'd be very happy with that.

 

[hospitaldriver]

Anyone in the UK gone for The Borderlands collection? About to order but it still shows as a pre order, with a release date of yesterday.

I'm assuming it should unlock for me immediately if I go for it?

Not too bad the price.But i'm going to wait for a 50%off sale because i finished the game this past winter in the 360.

 

[Diablohead]

Sorry if already posted about but The Crew now allows gold members to have a 2 hour trial with the game, at least you can try it out if bored.

 

[Alx]

Awww, I got a high score of 3333 on my last game of Threes. Now I'll never want to play again or I'll lose that perfect result. :|

Unfortunately because it's a snappable app and not a full game, the snapshot/record functions aren't available for it.
