Separate subscription, count me out then. People have got wise to this, the days of loads of subscriptions half of which you hardly use is coming to and end.... Netflix's latest results is a prime example.
Err, the video shows why it's been reduced to this price. Wouldn't bother even if it was free... Older Madden games can be picked up for hardly anything and look so much better than this..
I did think SOR4 would leave soon, it has been on the service for a long time. I've also within the last month purchased it physically on Switch. It plays just as well and really suits handheld play. A great game, anyone who's not played it, now's the time before it leaves..
Nothing as it stands. I will have another look, but the backlog is so massive that I can't really buy anymore as I"ll probably never get around to actually playing it.
Already have Hydrophobia. As you say there was alot of hype at the time of release. I was quite underwhelmed really... It was only average at best then, let alone 10+ years later.
Already got Timesplitter's 2 and Future Perfect a few weeks back... Wish I had waited till they were on sale.
However, I picked up Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Transformed Racing, and Super Puzzle Fighter HD. I'm tempted to get the Golden Axe Vintage Collection also....
@iplaygamesnstuff Sad but true, I still play play PGR 4 every now and then. That game in itself is enough reason to keep the 360 connected up... A Series X/S remaster would be great.
I'm still working my way through Halo Infinite Campaign but will give Mass Effect a go again very soon. The Mass Effect games never quite clicked with me before but now is the best time to try again...
It's a solid list so far. Really looking forward to Hellblade 2 and intrigued to see how Sonic Frontiers fairs.. No Forza Motorsport on the list, is there any chance of it releasing in 2022?
This dosen't sound very promising.
2022 release date seems like a pipe dream currently, 2023 also unlikely.
When developers so high up in the development of the game leave it's no wonder others still working on the title below lack direction.. Unfortunately I don't think I'm overstating when it seems like this game is in "development hell" currently.
I hope I'm wrong...
Redout dlc track packs, really enjoying the additional courses. I picked up Crash 4 also so looking forward to playing that. Although not in the sale I'm really enjoying playing Timesplitter's 2 again via backwards compatibility. That along with some Quake and Forza Horizon 5 has me all set for a while Xbox wise.
Old School for me. Physical copies of Timesplitter's 2 and Future Perfect for Xbox along with Blinx The Time Sweeper with them being playable via backwards compatibility. Lastly, I extended my Ultimate subscription to maximum 3 years again. (Added a further year)
Games make the console in my view. Xbox 360 for that reason wins so far. However, once the Series X really hits its stride it could topple it easily if it produces the games... Time will tell, it certainly has the potential.
@Shigurui Thanks for the recommendations, I plan to get God of War 3 but I will certainly look into the other titles. The Puppeteer looks good from doing a quick search...
@Shigurui All new to me. The last Sony console I had was a PS2 so I'm really playing catch up with the PS3 games. I'm looking to try and play the recommended exclusives to see what I think of them. That lot will take a while to get through...
Nascar Heat 4 for £5.02 on Xbox. I might be English but I seriously enjoy Nascar so that's a great bargin for me.. I've also just managed to obtain a PS3 Super Slim for just £20, so have picked up a few of the must have games from Ebay (Motorstorm ,Wipeout Fury, Sly Cooper Collection, Uncharted 1,2 &3, Resistance, Ratchet and Clank, Killzone 2 & 3 and The Last of Us) Although that's nothing to do with Black Friday..
@BlueOcean It's interesting to know. My first console was a Master System with Sonic The Hedgehog installed..I got Ecco The Dolphin and Strider shortly after...
Always remember when I picked up my Dreamcast, that was a great day. Got it mid 2001 when the writing was already on the wall for the system. I purchased Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, House of the Dead 2 and Soul Calibur with it. I was utterly amazed with it, and couldn't fathom that the system was on the way out. I made the most of it and quickly built up a library of 30+ games. I've slowly added to it over the years to have 67 games for it now, I still plan to pick up a few more.
A console I will never sell!!
I have Ridge Racer 6, it only cost me £4.00 when purchased in 2015. How come it's going for £100 now? Why the massive increase?
I know the retro market is booming but that's mad..
That's a great month for me.. All 4 games are well worth downloading. Hover looks very like Jet Set Radio, not a bad thing, and Aaero interests me from the trailer.. Both Castlevania and Resident Evil Code: Veronica X are solid staple games... Impressive month!!
I like my physical games but even many of these will be useless once the servers go down so they are no better than digital....
The disc's will often be useless in years to come..
Then there is day one patches just to make the game playable, once the server goes down and you buy the physical game down second hand for example the patch won't be available to make the game playable...
The future of game preservation is not looking good.

Re: Fans Aren't Happy About The Sonic Origins DLC Plan Already
I'm afraid this sums Sega up...
Even when they have something good at hand they manage to somehow mess it up.

Sounds like the game is in development hell...

Re: Xbox Fans Call For Microsoft To Bring Back Classic Activision Games
Another Project Gotham Racing, along with Blur 2 would suit me....
Or even just remasters if done well.
Chances seem quite slim, but you never know..😏
Re: These 50+ Activision Blizzard Games Could Be Heading To Xbox Game Pass
That's a huge list of games. While dropping a load at once would be amazing I think drip adding them would actually be better.
Re: Rainbow Six Extraction Releases Day One With Xbox Game Pass
Huge game for Gamepass!!
Re: The Ubisoft+ Subscription Service Is Officially Coming To Xbox
I play so few Ubisoft games to make this worthwhile, especially at that high price.

Re: The Relaxing 'Lake' Is Getting A Lot Of Attention On Xbox Game Pass
Seems like a good game to play after just finishing a fast paced game. I will likely try it, why not as it's on Gamepass..

Re: Rumour: Activision Might Be Subtly Teasing A New Tony Hawk Game
A 3/4 remake please. Providing it has the same effort put into it as the 1/2 remake would suit me just fine..

Re: Pupperazzi Barks Its Way To Xbox Game Pass In January 2022
My nephew will love this. (Hopefully) Games like this is what makes Gamepass great. Random surprise games..
Re: Here Are Your Xbox Games With Gold For January 2022
Radiant Silvergun for me, I will claim the others but not download them.. May possibly download Space Invaders.

Re: The Dreamcast's Legacy Lives On With Xbox, Says Former SEGA America President
@BlueOcean Same here, the Master System was my first console. I remember it having Sonic installed with it. Sonic 1, 2, 3 all great games.

Re: Another Seven Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (September 13-15)
Daytona is great. I still often play my Dreamcast copy, would be great if that got a re-release for current systems...
Re: Another Seven Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (September 13-15)
@BionicDodo Just checked the Switch price, yes only £3.99, thanks for the heads up..
Re: Another Seven Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (September 13-15)
@BlueOcean Yes, I thought it might leave shortly... Time to buy it, although it's been on a steep sale before so I might wait till then.
