Weird... I always thought Wreckfest was on GamePass?? Definately downloading that now.

When I turn on my XBOX, I just tend to immediately select my game and play. Sooo... I took the time last night to sit back and study the dashboard. I scrolled up and down a few times, and... Well, I'm not that offended by it at all.

All my recent apps and games are on the top row for easy access... Gamepass related icons are below, followed by a few other icons I didn't really pay much attention to. So I continued to play Assassins Creed 2...

It does the job... 😊

Never played it... Is it on GamePass? If so I'll give it a go.

@Lup Haha! Yes it does... very simple game, but very, VERY addictive too.

I used to love GAME at it's peak. I would walk into town on my dinner break to have a quick browse, see what games where going cheap.

I've kind of jumped in and out of Fallout games over the years. Is Fallout 4 generally regarded as the best one?

@The-Grezzly-Bear Same here mate on the Series S. I play all sorts of games as long as they're fun, that's all that matters to me. I like the mindless, fun, games too. I started playing the Lego 2KDrive the other night and bloody love it.

@GeeEssEff Same... Would've loved this on Game Pass day one... can't see it being long till it appears to be honest. Does look and sound fun...

@HonestHick I love your passion for Gears... I too had played nothing like it back in the 360 days, the vibe of the game was amazing at the time. I still enjoy to this day.

Do you remember the Mad World advert for Gears?

@AccessibleDaydream Yes that is annoying. At least I don't have to sign up to another service just to watch it though👍

@Steel76 Me too... It was my first XBOX experience, and I loved the XBLA era. I think my most played game at the time was Trials Evolution. One of my Tracks was highlighted in a Top 10 list on a website once as being unique and addictive. It was called "The Rotatornator". 🤣 I felt quite proud... 😎

I'm a massive Star Wars fan, so it's difficult not to get excited. How-ever, I got sucked into the hype of Starfield, and that didn't go too well for me... so I will resist "The Force" (bad pun intended)... and wait for the gameplay reviews after release.

I'm not a big fan of gardening for real, so I'm not sure this will appeal either🤣

@Weapon_Wheel Same here. I sold my dyeing PS4 and decided on a Series S as I wanted to play a lot of what GamePass had to offer. I might also upgrade at some point, but I certainly don't think I've missed out by not owning a Series X.

NEO Sprint... Yes! Please... 😊

@mikecamel Haha! that be true...🤣👍

Haha! Yes... Arcade Paradise is definitely one of a kind and I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do. Same with Hi-Fi Rush... I'm not a fan of rhythm based games, but this was implemented really well and ended up being one of my favourite games of 2023.

Average age 7.2?? is exactly why I mute most lobbies if I play online... there's nothing worse 😫

@StylesT So I did try this yesterday and I'm not sure about it. I didn't see flying dinosaurs that shouldn't fly, but I did see a few strange graphical anomalies like floating rocks and a dinosaur that was kind of hovering above water.... it spoiled the immersion for me.

@FraserG Thanks for the heads up... 👍

I absolutely loved Geometry Wars Retro 2 back in the day when it had a bigger community. I still play it on occasion to this day. If it came to GamePass, I do think it would generate a lot of new fans and re-invigorate the highscore tables... I need new competition 😊

I've read a lot of mixed reviews about this game, mostly not great comments either. But I am a huge Star Wars nerd, so will definitely try it at some point.

I'll see if Diablo gets its hooks into me first.... if not I'll definitely give this a try.

I would like to play this, the problem is I have gotten used to not paying for games lately because of Game Pass, it's difficult parting with £50/70 for a game these days 😏

Definitely downloading Diablo... been looking forward to it. I quite enjoyed the previous Hot Wheels too, so will give that a go as well. It's a good month this one is 😊

@RBRTMNZ "Microsoft Rewards were already not worth trying to collect before this."

Mmm! I beg to differ... The rewards have allowed me to buy quite a bit of DLC for my games 👍

@Tasuki Yeah same for me unfortunately. I really tried to stick with it, but got bored really quick.

Yeah, it is a great game. It's nice for those PS5 only players to experience now too.

I agree that the interface could do with a few tweaks, but it doesn't ruin my time with it. I've also had a few occasions where a game has lagged, but over the 12 months I've had with it, I can only count the occasions on one hand.

It's definitely a hit and miss experience for some, but for me it's been a hit.

Not a game I would buy personally, but it looks pretty good to be honest...

Ok! So I guess no one knows what a AAAA game is 🤣

@GuyinPA75 I played so much of BF4, it was a good one. You can still get online today and find a match.

Yes please... looks bonkers!

I love the Battlefield series. Admittedly they tend to launch a bit rough, but they are a lot of fun online.

I must've been asleep under a rock recently... but what is a 'Quadruple-A Game'?

@Shushibda You do like your NOT interested options on these polls don't you? 🤣👍

I quite like the look of Space Engineers.

I never played the first one, but I absolutely loved the Titanfall 2 single player campaign... one of my favourites to be honest.

Haha! Looks good... love the yellow controller 👍

Yes please... I want to play this!

👍.... and then a truck appeared 🤣

I'll definitely give Warhammer a try... never played those games.

@BAMozzy Ahhh! apologies... I misinterpreted your comment..👍

@Banjo- ...and guaranteed if it was a Tweet, the internet would've accused them of hiding behind a quick text message and not caring about the customers.

@BAMozzy I wouldn't say that 34+ million Game Pass subscribers is a dwindling player base 🤷‍♂️

I was wondering if those that smashed up their consoles are trying to put them back together right now 🤣 Shame!
I liked the podcast... looking forward to playing Diablo!

All those scare mongering, rumour-videos saturating the internet right now sure seem pointless, embarrassing and a waste of time.

I liked this podcast. It was chill and business as usual if you ask me. I'm quite excited about this year and seeing what unfolds.

I may jump back in at some point. I did play it at release, but there was something just not pulling me in to keep playing...🤷‍♂️

@BowsersBuddy Think I will try Deadlight for that price...

I don't really get involved with social media posts, so I have no idea who those guys are 🤷‍♂️
