Aaron Stone writes: "The original Joe Danger was released in 2010 and saw stuntman Joe completing several different objectives in a wide array of levels on a motorcycle. The sequel is now here and feels all too similar, as Hello Games has produced a game that plays it far too safe."
Microsoft is offering three additional free games for all Xbox Live Gold subscribers in addition to the regular lineup of games this month.
And still the contradiction of getting something for "free" from a service you pay for continues.

I'm really tempted to grab Tomb Raider at that price, but I can't shake the nervousness that it'll be a free game for Xbox One as well soon.

I feel like I should like Joe Danger 2: The Movie a lot more than I do. After all, there's nothing particularly bad about it. In fact, it has more than its fair share of positives, all stemming from the fact it doesn't feel like Hello Games had to make any sacrifices to move their game from home consoles to the Vita. The controls are pretty easy to figure out, and they're every bit as responsive as they should be. It looks fantastic, even on the smaller screen. It's got a fun, simple narrative (a stuntman is making a movie!) that doesn't require any knowledge whatsoever of the series' first game. Taken on its own, it's about as unobjectionable as you can get.
you know the rest.
i really dig the original and while we see too often a departure from a system that works when it comes to sequels. Its as if we just cant be satisfied if there arent "enough" changes to justify a purchase.
I guess it really depends on the game. COD same old same old is bad. Madden same old same old is good. those are two completely opposite examples but they are examples of games that sell crap loads no matter what.
