Dream reveal, you say? A new Banjo-Kazooie. Easy pick. Conker would be an acceptable substitute.

@grumpypotato Really hope we have the ability to turn off film grain and pick a high frame rate mode. I haven’t played a Metal Gear game before (besides the demo for Snake Eater 3D back in like 2012 on my 3DS) so I’m pretty excited for this remake!

Perfect timing for Cassette Beasts to drop. My roommate is moving out of my place today so I’ll finally have my TV all to myself again. I love old-school Pokémon experiences with twists so I’ll probably start playing it tonight.

Wired = don’t care

I already have enough controllers as is, so no loss lol

@Wheatly Well said. I remember saying this a few weeks back on another site and got downvoted to oblivion. I think some people are so obsessed with game preservation and collecting that they forget or don't bother to fact-check all the game releases and their many patches, updates, DLC, etc.

Of course there are still some games that release fully done on the disc or cartridge. But that’s such a small amount now that stating one or two examples doesn’t prove anything.

I'll have to check out Trackmania and Omega Strikers. Both seem like silly fun.

I’m going to wait a bit to get Street Fighter 6 and Super Mega Baseball 4. The only game I might pick up next month is the physical copy of Sonic Origins Plus.

Looks like good fun. I’ll pick it up once it goes down to like $30 tho lol. Too much to play already and not enough time 😂

Yup. I finished the Hot Wheels DLC a couple weeks ago and I’m currently playing the Rally Adventure expansion. Once I’m done that I’ll probably be done for a while, though.

It’s good. I don’t use it much as my PC is mainly for free-to-play multiplayer titles with friends and my XBOX is what I use for most of my single-player titles. But the few times I’ve used it for Forza and a couple other titles it worked fine.

Funny enough I still play Vanguard with my buddies. They didn’t get MW2 and plus Vanguard has patrol and gun game, two of my favorite modes. I’m fine with just sticking with that lol.

@Techno92LFC I don’t get it either. I guess to them it’s good marketing. It’s really weird because they already rebooted Mortal Kombat back in 2011 with the 9th entry. So another reboot lol.

@Deemo37 TMNT is a fantastic old-school beat-em up. Highly recommend playing it and the good news is that it’s a quick playthrough! Should only take a couple of hours but there is a lot of replay value if you wanna keep playing.

I’m very interested to try the level editor. Aside from that, the new game pass looks pretty mediocre, but that’s also because I don’t care at all for Hello Kitty.

But hey, it’s a reason to play some more Fall Guys. It’s always simple fun.

Crap, I should play the Ninja Gaiden titles and Assassin’s Creed Origin’s in case they leave. Thanks for the heads up!

I wouldn’t mind it but would prefer something new since the older titles are all playable on the Series systems with enhancements.

Big news. I mean they’re still overpriced but if I can save up enough Microsoft rewards points and get one for a heavy discount, I might crack.

We can only hope that with other manufacturers making them soon that the prices keep going down.

I like what I'm seeing. Excited for it to roll out whenever it does.

The first good month for me in a long time. I’ll definitely give Star Wars Racer a spin, I really enjoyed the original on the n64 when I was a kid.

It’s a neat novelty but I’ve heard pretty rough stuff from the 2 people I know who have them. Not sure if the v2 is much different. Good price tho for those that were on the fence!

I downloaded Guts N Goals for some local multiplayer fun with friends. Every time I’ve had people over we just play Switch games tho lol.

So 0 games played for me.

Yeah, you can’t release a game on GamePass and then wonder why more copies didn’t sell. Why buy what you can already play?

I was thinking of redeeming my Microsoft reward points and getting Ghost Recon Breakpoint… then I took a look at my backlog on Xbox… then the rest of my backlog on Switch and pc… I think I’m good on games for the rest of the year lol.

Rider’s Republic is really fun and picked that.

But I do enjoy some of the Assassins Creed titles (Ezio trilogy, Black Flag, Odyssey).

Also Rayman Legends and Origins are bangers.

I’m currently trying Far Cry 5 as my first Far Cry game… I played a small bit of Primal but not enough to know what the series is.

Fun to go back to for a couple hours but haven’t touched it since the first week it launched. Too many other newer games to play.

I don’t go out of my way to do the achievement stuff, but just from doing the tasks on my phone while I’m the bathroom and opening the rewards app once or twice a week on my Xbox… I usually get about $10-$12 a month.

If I go out of my way to do the monthly challenges, then it’s closer to $14-15. Very solid.

Seems worth a try for me, especially since it’s on Game Pass. I’ll give it a whirl later this month but it seems like it’s fun even if a bit basic or clunky in some ways.

Jeez. Just play the game a few weeks later when it has the features you want in it and let others enjoy it. There are actual other problems in life to worry about.

I’m looking forward to Redfall but it’s never been a game I’ve been dying to play. Just something I’m interested in. I’ll easily be waiting for the 60fps mode.

I only had a 5 day streak but I can confirm mine has been reset.

It looks decent but there are too many other games I’d rather play. Plus with the warmer weather I’ll be gaming less. So unless this comes to gamepass I won’t be playing it for a decent amount of time.

From this list, Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters easy.

I played a round on Pebble Beach and thought it was pretty good. Visuals are great despite some minor glitches. Character models look good but some of the face animations seemed so off. The presentation and commentary is leagues better than 2K's effort.

Once they add the button swing option and fix some of the visual bugs I'll probably be playing this all the time!

“Safety and responsibility was a top priority for us when creating Lego 2K Drive.”

Proceeds to make a system where kids can throw money away easily lol.

This is really cool because most indie titles typically only get Switch and PS4/PS5 physical releases. Hoping good things come from this.

Huh. An online only game with f2p elements that costs $30. If there’s no single player element or at least a local multiplayer mode, then I’ll wait for a HEAVY discount before trying it… or just wait for it to inevitably got f2p.

Or the Activision/Blizzard acquisition lol.

A 60fps update would due just fine as it already looks beautiful with the One X enhancements. They’ll probably make a new version in a couple years for $70 tho. Similar to what they did with GTA V… twice now?

Never played a SMT game. If they hit GamePass I might give one of them a go.

Awesome to hear it’s a lot of fun. I was busy most of the weekend and the free time I did get… I just completely forgot about the beta 😅

Looking forward to the July release!

I'm one of the few people who hadn't played GTA V so when I picked it up on Series X for $10 on Black Friday that was my first experience with the game. Overall, it looks and plays great. Fun game and I get why it's very popular.

Wow, I logged in the minute this review went up lol. Glad it’s just as amazing as we were all hoping. Good review and definitely snagging it sometime this Spring!

So how does this update work? I’m downloading the game now and it doesn’t say it’s Series enhanced. Did they just add extra graphical modes for the new systems?

EDIT: Tried playing and everything works automatically. An automatic 60fps and what appears to be 4K without any settings to toggle. Looked great, I just don’t understand why the game isn’t listed as Series enhanced.

Cool but I’m sad to see Gun Game still missing. It’s the reason I still fire up Vanguard every now and then. They put it in for like 3 weeks then got rid of it. Hate this live-service crap.

The original Bungie games are still the best but I enjoyed Infinite’s campaign probably just as much. It’s just a shame the online multiplayer was rushed and monetized. I haven’t played it in a while but I heard it’s a lot better now.

Forza is the big one for more. I’m also interested in Hellblade 2. Also everyone seems super hyped for Avowed so I’ll give that a good look.

Let’s go. Didn’t even know this event existed but it’s all good news. Sunbreak coming to XBOX. I can play the RE4 demo this weekend.

And EXOPRIMAL IS DAY 1 GAME PASS! Let’s gooooo.

@shoeses Crash Team Racing and Sonic Racing Transformed are still the two best alternatives. Mario Kart is still #1 but I had a lot of fun with those titles.

Awesome to hear. This is shaping up to be a great year for XBOX exclusives:

Hi-Fi Rush, Minecraft Legends (not an exclusive but still a Microsoft game), Redfall, Starfield, Forza Motorsport, STALKER 2... there might even be another game or two I'm missing!

Civ 6 for me (Roman numeral typo should be addressed tho)

Might also check out Ni No Kuni 2.

Love it but I already have 3 Series controllers and One controller. I can easily play 4-player local multiplayer so so need for any more controllers.
