Month: December 2018

Sorry this wasn’t done earlier this morning, but you know Christmas.  Over the past week I’ve been playing Gyromancer and Road Redemption which finally has an Xbox One port and is pretty awesome.  It is certainly the Road Rash clone I’ve always been looking for.  I had been part of the Kickstarter several years ago, and so I was happy to find out that I was getting my Xbox code finally. Good stuff, and I will be spending a lot of time playing it in the near future.

So here are the sales, not much but its Christmas week, so I wouldn’t expect much.  Enjoy your holidays, I’m going to go back to enjoying mine.  Take care.

Welp, I knew this was coming.  The prices for this might come in waves as I attempt to work on this on a Friday where I have a lot of things going on.  Remember, this is an one-man operation and I pay for my own darn site, lol (you can always donate though).  Anyway, here are the sales.  Enjoy!

Looks like the new Games with Gold were announced this morning.  Another rough list for sure.  Racing games again rise to the surface with Xbox One while Xbox 360 titles are the ever popular Lara Croft and Far Cry entries.  Celeste might be interesting, but this month certainly gets a ho hum from me again.  Glad we get them, doesn’t mean I have to love them.  Hope everybody is having a great holiday.  Enjoy.

Xbox One

• Celeste (Janurary 1st-31st)
• WRC 6: FIA World Rally Championship (January 16th – February 15th)

Xbox 360

• Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (January 1st-15th)
• Far Cry 2 (January 16th-31st)

Welp, I did start a new game last week named Gyromancer (actually it’s a very old game, but that’s besides the point) but honestly I don’t think I’ll play it much longer.  It starts all decent in terms of difficulty and you can progress pretty darn well through the first 3 stages.  However, once it gets to the 4th stage, it starts penalizing for something called idle twisting.  The problem is that idle twisting is necessary in certain situations.  So from that point forward, the game becomes an absolute drag.  I might (maybe) try to just beat the game but I certainly won’t be going for all of the achievements.

Anyway, we do have some sales this week.  Sadly, only one of them is actually BC though (and it’s one we have seen many many times).  But if you do own Dogfight 1942 or Dungeon Defenders, this is a chance for you folks to pick up the DLC at a decent price.  Rumor has it that there might be a sale that starts later this week but we’ll see what happens before we get excited.  Enjoy the rest of your week.

Welp, I did finally find all of the riddles in Batman: Arkham Asylum.  Honestly, you know what the last 5 riddles were.  3 Joker Teeth related and 2 in the Caves (mostly because I hate the Caves).  The Joker Teeth honestly were harder than anything else, especially in the open areas like Arkham North and West.  But I got them, did the Spirit of Arkham as well.  Maybe in a few years I’ll come back and finish it at a tougher difficulty.  I’m not sure what I’m moving on to now, we’ll see.

Here are the sales for this week.  Only two are backwards compatible.  Panzer Dragoon Orta is very tempting (and I have Persona 4 on disc).  Abyss Odyssey also looks very good but its not BC and at this point, any XBLA title is going to have a very low chance of going BC.  Can’t say it won’t happen, just it’s not likely.  Enjoy the rest of your week folks.

Finally, a Japanese courtroom drama.  Amazing, excellent and worth watching more than once.

This one was an interesting anime that I got to review.

Well since there will be no more BC releases for the rest of the year (I’m saddened too especially after they were doing so nicely the last few weeks), I figured I would go ahead and post out my review backlog from Upcomingdiscs.com.  Enjoy.

Well this is certainly an interesting pairing. I can’t say these three games really go together, however I do actually own all of them in disc form.  Two of them are sadly sealed (Darkness and XCOM) so I might actually look into getting them digitally so I don’t have to open them up so to speak.  The nice thing about all three of these is that they are Tekken 2 Tag Team specials in that they are also on sale.  Be careful though, some of these have DLC, so pay attention to that (and they are not on sale).  Enjoy folks.

• The Darkness $3.99 (normally $19.99) (also on disc)
  • Free DLC: Darkness MP Map: DM_Haunt 
• The Bureau: XCOM DeClassified $3.99 (normally $19.99) (also on disc)
  • DLC w/Achievements: Hangar 6: R&D $4.99
• Duke Nukem: Forever $3.99 (normally $19.99) (also on disc)
