"I have a soft spot for the side-scrolling beat-em-up genre. It started way back on the Super Nintendo and the Sega Mega Drive with my love for – in my eyes, two of the best entries in the genre – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time and Streets of Rage 2. Modern day gaming hasn't be en kind to the genre, with most attempts to capture the nostalgia ending up being shallow and boring. The occasional quality title pops up, such as Castle Crashers, but as a whole, the genre has never flourished as it once used to do back in the 16bit era of gaming. Sadly, Sacred Citadel doesn't do anything to change that."
Neil writes "As Xbox gamers we've had a huge number of discounts thrust our way with the recent Xbox Live Deals With Gold offerings. This week though? Well, it's a little sparse to say the least. But which are the best and worst of the deals on offer between the 20th-26th Sept 2016? We delve in and take a look."
Neil writes "The Xbox Games With Gold scheme very rarely fails to deliver. Since it’s inception, there have been a ton of games given away on both Xbox One and Xbox 360. With the latest Xbox 360 titles now becoming backwards compatible on the bigger more powerful console, the program has seemingly moved up another gear. But ultimately, Games With Gold will be judged on the quality of the free titles being given away. With that in mind, is February 2016 any good?"
Today Microsoft announced the Games with Gold line-up for February 2016, by way of Xbox Live Director of Programming Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb.
I'll give hand of fate a go. It's poor month, in my opinion - unless you haven't played Gears of War 2.
Not up to the standard I've come to expect from GWG but I'll give hand of fate a go and will probably skip the others as I've already beaten Gears 2 multiple times
I already own styx, its a fun game but i couldnt beat it since the levels were huge.
Still waiting for Black Ops BC. Would forfeit a month of GWG for it.
