Meodia reviews Double Fine's tower defence game Iron Brigade;
"Iron Brigade (previously called Trenched) is an odd mix of World War 1 trench warfare, mech battles and tower defence. A mix that seemingly doesn’t go together all that well...how can giant bipedal walking robots gel with the rest of the game?"
Protect humanity, defeat Piglins, confront the supernatural, and take to the ice – all coming soon and playable from the comfort of your gaming setups! (And if you want to stay comfy in your gaming chair, just use the Game Pass mobile app to pre-install the games to your console or PC).
@jerome
So if it’s on GP too close to release it hurts the devs, but 12 months is too old? When should games get added?
@jeromeface - if you've never played the game, does it matter if it came out yesterday or 3 years ago?
@jerome
Thats irrelevant. I base my preferences on what is good not what is old. Sackboy adventure is old but still a good addition to ps plus.
their lineup lately is pretty weird, they have less games than ever per update and more games leave the service
Not even remotely true....
You can keep spreading lies I suppose.
@lightning77 it does actually seem like that. Up until this Activision Blizzard thing started getting a lot of backlash, they were adding like 6 - 8 games every 2 weeks and advertising them like crazy. Now the games seem to trickle in every few weeks, like we get 1, then a week later another, and so fourth. It has changed there is no denying that.
@lab this is only the first half of the month.
The second half will have Minecraft Legends Last Case Of Benedict Fox and several others. That's how its always been. You can't sit there and ignore the slew of games that hit the service sinceJanuary
So no it's lies and misinformation as I said.
@Lightning77 This post has minecraft legends listed, so this is an overview of the entire month. And as I said, they have not done the every 2 week format (first half of the month/second half of the month) all of 2023. I'm sure they will have a few more than this but they have been just kind of trickling games out whenever, and not really even announcing them.
I'm not ignoring the games that have come, I play gamepass all the time, but again, it has definitely slowed down and they definitely changed the format.
It was dry prior to Atomic Heart. Particularly after the MH DLC which personally meant nothing to me. There was a period where newly added games featured mostly Mortal Shell and Metal Hellsinger which were both old GP releases. Even from fall to early 2023 was overrated imo. Games like Scorn and High on Life did not meet the hype and were panned critically and P5 and MH were games that released on PS+ yrs ago or DLC to a game that was on Plus yrs ago. In truth GP was disappointing to me for a while. Particularly considering Starfield, Stalker, Redfall were all delayed and that was the reason i resubbed last yr.
However, since Atomic Heart it has picked up. While broken, i enjoyed AH and though Wo Long wasn't as good as anticipated, it was still solid for GP day 1. Loop Hero is a nice addition and MLB as well. Not sure where Darktide is but GP has indeed been better. No interest in Minecraft and Ghostwire is on PS+ with Dualsense but i'm enjoying GP again.
I have to agree with the drop in quality (but that's always subjective) -- I finally cancelled my subscription.
They've seemingly bailed on the family pc game pass that they were testing out in Ireland, that would have kept me subscribed. They don't even ask why you are cancelling when you cancel, not that they ever read that.
I might be wrong, but didn’t you say how great Ghostwire Tokyo was when it was released?
Looking forward to play the definitive edition of Ghostwire Tokio on my SX!
No.
The day the game releases on Gamepass it will be getting a massive update. PS5 players will be getting it as well.

No, it lacks the Dualsense implementation. So u can argue it's an inferior edition.
It’s okish. Combat isn’t very good . Have fun with the same version that PS has but definitive for you somehow
"Have fun with the same version that PS has but definitive for you somehow"
FYI:
New areas ⛩️
New missions 📖
New powers 🔥
New collectibles 😼
New enemies 👹
New roguelite mode ☠️
Definitely NOT the version that PS5 players has been playing, but whatever makes you sleep at night.
@ Obscure
When you're an xbox fanboy you've got to have something to look forward to.
Obscure_Observer
All that new stuff....that PS5 gets at literally the same time. I understand irrational fanboy spin but you are bragging about getting the game a year later bc it will have a new patch that mind you is available to all platforms.
Like someone on XB or PS bragging bc they had to wait to play Hades simply bc by the time it hits their platform it gets a non exclusive patch. Pathetic.
It's also coming to PS+ so i guess PS gamers got to play the day 1 edition and plus subscribers will also get "the definitive edition". Btw, the deep Dualsense implementation on PS5 kinda makes THAT the definitive edition. In reality, PS got it day 1 and gets the extra bells and whistles through the superior controller. Plus, just like GP it is on plus. Just like Deathloop.
Xbox has seemingly copied the way ps plus extra and Premium are updated, game pass used to have 2 drops a month, now its only one like ps plus.
I like it better that way , just give me all the drops at once no point in spreading them out ..
Hmm Im not sure you are correct about Plus/Extra. I downloaded three new heavy hitters last month. Does it vary?
"Xbox has seemingly copied the way ps plus extra and Premium are updated, game pass used to have 2 drops a month, now its only one like ps plus."
Not true. Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly, The Last Case of Benedict Fox and
Homestead will also be available this month.
Double Fine was proud to announced today that they regained full intellectual rights to their game Iron Brigade. Now able to publish the game once again under their name. They've released a major update to fix the games bugs and overhauled its matchmaking system to celebrate.
Gamerdeals:
"Grab Iron Brigade (Xbox 360) for Free (Xbox LIVE Gold Members)!"
Ya know it's really hard to gripe about something free but here we are again with yet another 2 1/2 year old XBL ARCADE game.
I guess Microsoft feels like if no one wants buy it they might as well give it away for free.
Come on Microsoft, here is yet another wasted opportunity to treat your Gold members to something decent.
I'm personally glad this one slipped under my radar. Regardless of age, getting a free Double Fine (non-Kinect) game certainly feels like a treat to me.
