In the distant past of 2011, Hello Games released a charming little homage to classic racers and platformers alike called Joe Danger. The game fused the 2D racing of Excitebike with the precision platforming and item collection of something like Mario, making it a unique and family-friendly option for a fun weekend of gaming. The sequel, Joe Danger 2: The Movie, released on XBLA last month and will be spreading to other platforms soon. Unfortunately, Joe's second outing suffers the same fate of many a Movie sequel and ends up feeling bloated and needlessly complicated thanks to its potpourri of gameplay styles.
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.

Neil writes "This week's Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale is full of bargains for both Xbox Live Gold members and indeed those with a Silver subscription. But which are the ones you should be making a bee-line for?"
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.
GA:
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.
