"Disney Interactive Studios today announced that Disney•Pixar’s Cars 2: The Video Game is now available for the Nintendo 3DS™ handheld system. Following the multi-platform release of the critically acclaimed console versions earlier this year, the game joins the latest line of offerings in the beloved franchise." -- Wiiloveit.com (Official Press Release)
Paul writes: "If you are going to watch an animated film, it really has to be one of the Pixar ones, and the finest of those films that feature living automobiles is the Cars franchise. My son and I loved these films, and as you can imagine, the money making machine of the games industry wasn't slow to catch on to the possibilities of a Cars-based video game (or two or three or... ). So, come with me to a world that was dominated by the animated hi-jinks and the racing based fun times of Cars."
Carlos writes "So far, 2018 has proven to be a bit of hit when it comes to the games offered via the Xbox Games With Gold program, with some cracking titles such as Superhot, Shadow Warrior, and Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India all bringing incredible adventures to Xbox Live Gold members for no extra cost at all.
With April upon us, it’s time to look at the next batch of free Xbox One and Xbox 360 Games With Gold titles - can April prove better still or are things about to go downhill? Here are our thoughts on the free Xbox One and Xbox 360 games for April 2018"
gamerwhat? lol its like trophies/achievements i dont really care about them but then you have people that go nuts for them and try to get them all
Of course people do it gives anotherwise game you paid all that money on more lease of life more reson's to replay and experience stuff that you might not of seen otherwise. I always play my game's the way i want first to experience the story then if i really like it i will go for all the trophys/Achievments.
I was talking about gamerscore though, not achievements...although I agree with what you are saying. I agree that they give you something else to work towards once you finish the game...but do you care about the score you get from it? Like, my gamerscore is 27161 but does that matter? Do I get anything for it? I remember last gen people were trying to get the highest score, but that doesn't really seem like a thing people do anymore. At least from what I have seen.
@letsa_go
Gamerscore now earns you money on the rewards site. I've made a few quid and I'm not even an achievement hunter.
I game on both, but I have to say that unlocking a Platinum feels like much more of an accomplishment. To me, it's my gaming legacy. Someone can look at my list and see the games I really loved, which games I was willing to push myself to ace.
I never got into superficial buffing of gamerscore or trophies, like for instance, Greg Miller formerly of IGN. I'll never forget his Platinum of Hannah Montana the Game JUST to get a Platinum. Haha. Just... no. For me, only games I really enjoyed.
They're alright. I've never set out to get points or achievements though. It's just quite good they're there.
There are those that go nuts for gamescore, I myself used to be a gamerscore whore but no more, I just play games and if the score and achievos happens then that's it, I won't go out of my way and spend hours/days/months to work on an achievo no more.
On Xbox, dno about PlayStation, there is even a leader board for gamerscore that is updated every month on who brings the most score in. So yeah it's competitive enough I spose.
Even looks like Microsoft are changing the rewards again, well at least the name from Xbox live rewards to Microsoft rewards, makes it sound a bit more universal for all there devices they're on.
I used to care back on the 360, on xb1 its not really the focus for the system so I dont care other than to finish games
I'd actually argue that the Xbox One is MORE focused on achievments.
Games have trackers, rare achievements, global percentages, competitive leaderboards for gamerscore, and integration with tru achievements.
It's more about gamerscore than ever before.
Definitely. The Witness is one of the best games this generation and Syndicate is a lot of fun. Both GWG and PS Plus are actually great this month. It's nice to see that both services are consistently offering great games that people really would like to play now because they've both had some rough periods.
Haven't play Syndicate so it'll be nice to finally check that out and Dead Space 2 is amazing so not a bad month.
in my opinion as a mainly Playstation player this month's games i think Xbox win's.
Major Nelson: "For the month of April, Xbox Live Gold members will receive four new free games - two on Xbox One and two on Xbox 360 - as part of the Games with Gold program."
So you're telling me there's a chance I'll see you on XJuan? :P

Oh I'm Def gonna play Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Never played it before and I've heard good things about it. I love puzzle games too so the witness looks fun.
I'm curious about The Witness as well. But Syndicate... Damn... It's one of the reasons the last AC is so good. Syndicate is plain AWFUL, worst AC I've played by far. They realized how bad AC games were turning and gladly decided to take action.
But try it... It's "free" anyway...
You’re crazy, Syndicate was great. Not as good as 2 or Origins, but still really good.
Ixeasy, haven't played Unity. That said, yeah, AC3 was horrible, but still had decent combat and animations. In Syndicate the animations don't even hit the enemies.
Syndicate was really good.
Better than 3 and Unity for sure.
I despised the combat in Origins, so I'd say it's better than that as well.
Syndicate was a bit dry. I always dreamed about the setting, but it was a disappointment. I actually liked the setting in AC3 better. The pacing was terrible in AC3, but the American frontier was awesome and the game was beautiful in its day. The King Washington DLC was a cool idea as well.
Syndicate was good. There is some clumsiness to some parts of it, but it is a big improvement over Unity and AC3.
It did take a bit of time to get going, so be a little patient at first.
I got Syndicate two Black Fridays ago at Walmart for $8. I got Unity last Christmas at 5 Below for $5. Both new, PS4 copies. You can typically find AC games dirt cheap at ideal times because Ubisoft floods the market.
The Witness is actually a great game to get on GwG. Recently, GwG has been lacking, but this is a good month.
I don't own any of these so I'm looking forward to all of them. My 8 year old will love Cars 2, she's currently liking Pixar Rush a ton.
The Witness and Dead Space 2 are awesome titles!
I Hope The Witness gets on PS Plus eventually :)
