Dive into the epic saga of 'Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter,' exploring its legacy, gameplay, and timeless appeal in the Star Wars universe.
Neil writes: "There should never be a refusal to acknowledge free stuff, and with the Xbox Games With Gold scheme the free games and experiences have come in multiple forms over the years. But as the Xbox Game Pass slowly tightens its grip on the gaming world, the power and prestige of the Games With Gold scheme has diminished. Surely though with Star Wars and Sherlock Holmes games going free throughout November 2019, the draw and appeal should be huge again?"
In November on Xbox One, become the world’s greatest detective in Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter and then take a ride across a dystopian world in The Final Station. On Xbox 360, and Xbox One via Backward Compatibility, the Force takes flight with Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, then enjoy madcap kart racing in Joy Ride Turbo.
The worst month ever. Ever since GP grew in popularity GWG selections have been horrible.
Wow. It has clearly been terrible, and looks worse when Sony's offerings are so much better.
The Xbox One game is Final Station?
I'm not going to lie, hearing Major Nelson's stupid voice fawn over this selection makes the pain so much worse.
GwG has a good month every now n then, but overall the quality is way down since Gamepass. Way too many terrible months like this one.
Sorry you don`t like the free games. II don`t have any of those so I am looking forward to giving them a try.
Maybe, but with Microsoft people who pay for Xbox Live still get 4 games on 2 different platforms, instead of just 2 on 1 platform on Playstation, since Sony have stopped offering games for the PS3 (and the PS Vita before that). When you think it was Sony who came up with that idea of charging people not to play online but to rent games. Just how much lower can they stoop, it makes you wonder...
When those four games are trash your argument is a wash and when a company like Microsoft follows suit and does the very same thing it makes you wonder how much lower they can stoop too right, or are you just singling out Sony?
Yet PS+ offered 6 games on PS+ for years while MS offered 4. When PS5 releases in a year the PS+ offering will go back to at least 4. Meanwhile, since dropping to 2 games the quality has dramatically increased. There are no issues here, you just seem salty that GwG is terrible atm
So just get gamepass. It could not be a better value. You have to expect that games with good will suffer when Xbox is offering so much for so little on gamepass.
Is Starfighter similar to Rogue Squadron?
Edit: After research it looks horrible. You just move a reticle around an empty map.
It's not just a reticule. You can see the entire ship and what not just like you would in Rogue Squadron if you choose to. It's also not just an empty map. You are on different planets, in space. It's actually very similar to RS. Not nearly as good though.
It's not horrible, but it's nowhere near as good as Rogue Squadron.
The Sherlock Holmes game is pretty good if you like adventure type games.
Yeah I like Star Wars but for that to be the best game is shocking it’s a ps2 game lol
They're giving mediocre games on gold so people buy game pass. It's a shitty move, but a smart one.
Microsoft's list of original Xbox games playable on the Xbox One is growing with nearly 20 classics coming to the program this month.
With Sega allowing PDO to come to bc, I hope they are on board with other Sega games as well. Gun Valkyrie, Otogi, Sega GT, JSRF and perhaps Shenmue 2. Personally i'd love to see Outrun 2 or 2006 but since they no longer have the Ferrari license... that might not happen.
I'd love for more sega saturn and dreamcast releases. I know sega and Microsoft have been doing something.. Just don't know what yet.
Oh man... if MS announced DC and Saturn playback on the xbo.... that would be insane.
Panzer Dragoon Orta!!!
Morrowind!!!
Jade Empire!!!
Can't wait to add these to my library on X. Having Elder Scrolls 3,4 and 5 on one box is crazy!

I can't understand the mentality of some people who think that playing something old is a bad idea. It's like saying that A Fistful of Dollars shouldn't be watched anymore because I can watch The Unforgiven instead. Why even agree with the notion of instead in the first place?
Besides that, plenty of old games are classics whose uniqueness never got duplicated, like Jade Empire. Having one place to play them all is a phenomenal value, and you're right in your reply to Planet Earth that they are a great way for younger generations to experience the roots of not only gaming in general, but some of the greatest franchises of all time!
I will replay both morrowing and jade empire. Jade first. Morrowind is massive, but I still remember a lot about it. Would be interesting to have all the expansions included. I completed all the expansions too by the way.
I'm really happy that Panzer Dragoon is on the list, I'll definitely be getting Blinx, Breakdown, Conker and Mercenaries as well.
BC is a great feature - looking forward to seeing which other classic games the BC team bring back next.
Those were the days! Now if games of that caliber were released today it'd be awesome!
Oh you misunderstood, there are games that surpass that caliber like Witcher 3, HZD, Uncharted, Bloodborne, Persona 5, Nier Automata just to name a few and GOW looks to be stunning! I just meant titles like these were Xbox exclusives and the reason I supported them then.
Yes, and you mention ps4 games. Microsoft has been very lazy with new games this gen. Been loving most of what you put, especially HZD. I can't wait yo get back into panzer dragoon or ta. That game never gets old for me.
@Chaos yeah Jade Empire was one of my favorite Xbox games! That and KOTOR just were revolutionary for their day!
None of the games you mentioned surpass Morrowind, which is really a pc game with an xbox port.
