There is a section on the right hand side of the homepage with the free games in there, aswell as discounted games too

i'm surprised by it tbh, the ui is far prettier, the controllers will always be better than ps4, however the ps4 does seem slightly and I mean slightly more graphical (if that's even a word)( and also faster at updating/installing

quantum break is good

apart from halo and GOW , name me some exclusives eski boi I can enjoy, only bought it for exclusives and tv/blu rays

Dead Rising 3/4*, Sunset Overdrive, Forza, Crackdown 3*, Cuphead*, Rare Replay, and many more indie/store titles.

*Not released yet.

Brilliant fun mate, I've only played the first two to be totally honest, and they're a load of fun, they can only have improved with 3 and surely 4. Many hours of fun to be had, whether you follow the story or not.

I'd recommend;

Ori and the Blind Forrest
INSIDE
State of Decay
Forza

Even some JPRG's are back thanks to backwards compatibility

Blue Dragon
Lost Odyssey

Make sure you are downloading the four months games with Games with Gold

I think they're available on PS4 too, but if you like a challenge and platform types, go for Super Meat Boy, Binding of Isaac, and Shovel Knight. All quite retro feeling, but great fun and mega hard.

The Lara Croft games (Guardian of Light, and Temple of Osiris) are fun too, and more platform based than the main Tomb Raider games.

Yeah don't forget, the last two weeks in the month there are two more games free to download, think one is Outlast.

When i bought state of decay it was a download code from GAME. Saying that, it should be on the store somewhere..

Master Chef collection is £3.99

Mentioned it in the other thread but I got an Xbox One S at the weekend and am now trying to catch up with anything I've missed this gen so far.

I got Gears 4 and Forza Horizon 3 and now I'm a bit stuck - what else should I be getting? (no interest in Halo at all). Already got Tomb Raider on PS4.

only had PS4/PS3 since 2010 too so any backwards compatible 360 games are welcome (unless they look outdated as fuck).

As an aside, games with gold looks better than PS+ and EA Access is a superb idea - would be ace if someone like Ubisoft did something similar.

The Games with Gold are hit and miss, but mostly pretty good. Its good too that if you've got an Xbox One, you effectively get 4 games a month, as the free 360 games are always backwards compatible ones. They've had some really good ones in the past too, Dead Space, Gears 1, 2 and Judgement, Saints Row IV, Dark Souls, Assassins Creed 2 etc.

Shop around the likes of cdkeys as well Kev, you can sometimes find a year of Gold for nearer £30 as well rather than the 40 odd it costs through your Xbox.

With 4 games a month, there is something for everyone. Generally the only months I don't download any of them is when it's games I already have, like Monkey Isand last month.

Another good fun platform type game that I didnt realise was Xbox only is Battleblock Theater. If you've played Castle Crashers, its made by the same people. Hair tearingly hard towards the end, but very good and very funny. If you havent played Castle Crashers, get that as well!

Two brilliant 360 games on GWG in January, Rayman Origins and The Cave. Already finished both ages ago and can't recommend them enough to anybody.

Just got the Bioshock Definitive Collection. Played them all before on the 360 but I'm as excited to go through them now as I haven't played them since they were first released nearly 10 year a go.
