Ars techina writes: In an age of testosterone-induced shooters and teen angst, Army of Two positions itself as some kind of machismo messiah: there is so much swearing and blood and over the top touches like playing air guitar on your gun that many young North American males are bound to worship this game. Flashy action like the back-to-back, Tequila Bomb-esque sequences that start in a hail of gunfire and end in an empty room of bodies and bullets will have action-loving gamers floored. On the surface, this is like the best summer action flick you've ever been to with a buddy.
But beneath that first impression is a surprisingly complex game that co-op fans will hail as one of the best multiplayer games of the generation. Despite its looks, its vulgarity, its attitude, and its cartoon-like feel, Army of Two is really a thinking man's game, and effective strategy is rewarded with more money and more glory. The game takes the basic idea of shooting alongside a friend and adds welcome complexity to the idea with a healthy selection of team-specific mechanics.

Yep, we're doing that again this week with the multitude of Xbox One and Xbox 360 bargains found in the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 18th-24th August 2020. And it's helped that the Ultimate Game Sale is included too."
Neil writes: "With the delay of many AAA titles, and the move into the summer period, it is still a little quiet on the new games front. But that in turn at least gives us the chance to crack on with knuckling down with our huge list of older games that we've been meaning to play. It does however also mean that in order to keep that backlog list topped up, even more Xbox games will need to be purchased - and that is where the latest Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale comes in. The latest one - that working between the 7th-13th July 2020 - offers plenty of great discounts on numerous Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles."
Neil writes: "It doesn't matter how many games you have in your digital library nor how large your backlog of shame is - when the opportunity comes around to get access to new cheap gaming experiences, it's hard to say no. And that is what is happening again this week as hot on the heels of one great sale, comes another, with the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 9th-15th June 2020 providing many stunning Xbox One and Xbox 360 games at heavily discounted prices. The question is, what will you be picking up this week?"
