Very nostalgic story, I remember getting those demo discs so long ago. Seems like a lifetime ago

I just feel like there had to be many others that were far more deserving to take over P3's role. It was done in a manner that just shows that Microsoft wanted a more immediate change and Phil had to give up his spot sooner rather than later.

Bad to worse, it hasn't been looking good for a long while. Publishing will keep them in the game for now. Spencer has been really quiet for a while now, not surprised by the forced retirement.

Phil didn't retire because he wanted to, he was forced out bc there not meeting the numbers. Definitely not a planned retirement, more of the 'well Microsoft has to make a change now'. Either way it has not been looking good for Xbox for sometime now.

Probably 1 more delay left in the tank, that will push it to 2027.

It is what it is, small team, large A, or Quad A they all delay games for various reasons. Games and delays go hand in hand just like a controller.

I tried it for a bit didn't really get into it. After a couple weeks I wanted to give it a fair chance and picked back up and ended up completing it. I liked Avowed, it's a solid game overall. Glad I gave it another try because I had a good time playing this game.

@FraserG There's literally probably hundreds of indy games that sell 1,800 copies across all 3 major consoles in 2 months. Sorry this is hardly newsworthy., looks like it was a slow news day for you.

It's literally 1,800 copies sold across the 3 consoles. In 2 months. Must be a slow news day or someone is trying to drum up some business for someone. This is bare bones news here.

Yeah sure probably another reason to expand the pice again as well.

I started it and played a bit but couldn't get into it. Went back a few weeks later and tried again and I liked it. It was a good game, nothing ground breaking or anything but a solid playthrough nonetheless.

Anno Mutationem is pretty good so far, a good change in pace and games so far.

@Brigurugi Yes well put, I haven't finished it. Very slow and didn't really do much for me at all. They figured the voice work would of made a great game, but it didn't.

Walking sim, very slow burn. Picked it up for $4 last winter. Played a couple hours haven't played it since 1st week I got it. Do plan on finishing it but hard to get back to it due to slowness.

I haven't play Cod in years minus last year's story. Every year another cod just became too much and overplayed year after year. It became a Meme many years ago.

Picked up Fort Solis last winter for $4 on sale on PC. Played a few hours, slow burn walking sim. It was okay and do plan on finishing it one day.

Free play this soon after release, must of really under met launch expectations.

It's a pretty good game so far. Biggest complaint is that the enemies don't stay down for long at all. Less than 30 seconds. Which isn't much time when you have to read in-game right next to them. Fun besides that so far.

I was not a fan of the 50% increase, but this past year has been a feast for anyone that has Gamepass and enjoys playing a bit of everything. The amount of quality games has been the best this past year. Now they will have to match and possibly surpass that to show cause for the increase.

The 360 didn't even play Blu-ray only regular dvds...remember them going all in on HD DVD....had to buy that drive separately.

@HeavyHoggJP Gamepass isn't for everyone, I play all kinds of games and a bit of everything, so for me it's 100% worth it. This past year has been Absolutely Stacked. It has added a ton to my backlog. I'm enjoying my gaming

I'll definitely be checking this out, cool.

I played it when it dropped, it was buggy and messy but very fun and a solid game that I did finish.

Last week they were done with consoles, this media changes like the weather.

I tried Jusant when it released and ended up playing and completing it. It was a great different kind of game that I was glad to have the opportunity to experience.

Yes I will be checking it out for sure.

A bit to bare bones for me, looks like it could be something good. Just will have to try it again after a few content updates.

With the extra rate increase the Regular Ubisoft plus should be included.

$10 price increase for Ultimate and getting the better handheld for $1,000. Looking like something for sure...

I've gotten $10 2 times from Microsoft but it's been about 3 years since my last free store money.

For me spending almost $1,000 on a handheld is something I wouldn't do. I already have a PC and playing portable isn't my thing right now.

I tried it on cloud gaming, nothing special to me but it's also nothing that interests me. To each their own, sounds like it has a fan base so hope you all enjoy your game. Keep on gaming

I played a decent amount of the first one but didn't finish it, but since they re added it to Gamepass Ill probably finish it eventually, maybe, probably. To me it just seems like the 1st one just came out not to long ago.

That's a complete lame comment stating they became uncool, sounds like they became uncool to them. Genres are subjective to the ones playing them, the players if he thought they were uncool then say that, don't assume all or most gamers felt that way...lol

Pretty good month, past few have been great added a few to the backlog as well.

Used to be a huge Gears fan, fell off the past 2 titles...Looking foward to Helldivers, Theres about 4 of us that will be playing it. Haven't gamed since we used to play SoT.

Still not as long as the last episode of The Long Dark.

I liked this game and will definitely buy the dlc for it. This is the kind of content that needs to be released for people to buy if there game is on Gamepass. The dev from Raccoon Logic said he didn't get the extra sales for his dlc in his game. That dlc was nothing and not worth the price. Put out something that adds something to play and many with Gamepass will probably buy (dlc) it if they liked the game and game is still on Gamepass.

This is the 3rd time Epic has given Deathloop away for free. I got it the first time they gave it away for free. Its a solid game so having it available again is always good for everyone who didn't claim it the first 2 times. Also it's EPIC doing the giveaway.

Wonder if Sony will be there with a booth to play all the games on PS5?

I'm going to go with the 1st one. Just seemed like something special to me and I remember picking it up on day one at Gamestop. The good old days of physical media. Seems like it was a completely different era and time.

I have many games that have been added and a few more are coming out this month to my backlog. This game is 1 of them but is lower on my list but it is there. I should try it sooner rather than later bc its filling it fast and I don't have the time to play as I wish I had.

It already seems like it's been stacked the past couple of months, May is going to just add even more to my backlog.

After making sure all the singing and dancing made it into the game, I think anyone would want an extended break.

I looked at the what to download portion and there's not a campaign mode like there is for the others on it. Good article.

I've always been a Gamepass and Ultimate member. There is a TON of stuff that's been released and a lot of upcoming games as well. Just from Gamepass my backlog has grew significantly and will over the next few months.

I can't wait to go play Subnautica 2 right after I post this! Didn't know it shadow dropped!

For me South of Midnight is an okay game. Its not great and it's not bad. I am about halfway through it and it seems like the more I play it the bored I am becoming with it.

Gamepass works for me and is a great value.

It's ridiculous that have actually released as few as they have so far. There are so many games if they released a couple every month I would be ok with that but NO.
