Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for January 2019 any good?

Carlos writes: "Christmas may have come and gone in the blink of an eye, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t still got plenty to look forward to, and as 2019 creeps up on us, the reality of countless exciting new games is just around the corner. Before we start splashing the cash too early however, let’s first take a look at the Xbox One and Xbox 360 freebies on offer with the Xbox Live Games With Gold of January 2019. As we kick off the new year, just how good or bad are the titles nestled within our monthly subscription?"

Celeste didn't get nominated for game of the year for being bad.

alb18992366d ago

It doesn't matter anymore, at least not for me. With gamepass everything change.

babadivad2366d ago

I feel the exact same way. I just didn't realize it until this comment.

lxeasy2366d ago

word that's a good point, all play is the Games on Gamepass anyway lol

optimus2365d ago

celest's pixelated look put me off (main reason why i refuse to give minecraft a try) but i keep hearing great things about it in terms of overall game design and a story i can relate to so now i'm looking forward to it.

timlot2366d ago

Too many games to play now days.

Atomicjuicer2365d ago

Microsoft included a previously provided gold game. Thanks assholes

neil3632365d ago

Just trying to help out those newcomers to the Xbox world I guess! Nowt wrong with that.

Atomicjuicer2361d ago (Edited 2361d ago )

How would you feel if the next digital game you paid for was a duplicate of an item already in your library?

Celeste looks cool, as for the rest...meh. another lackluster month for GWG.

Hopefully I don't get an..oh, it's an Xbox article, no worries.

Atom6662378d ago

Celeste is something special.

IamTylerDurden12377d ago (Edited 2377d ago )

Celeste is supposedly a great little indie, but it seems like GwG doesn't offer the same number of quality AAAs since the advent of Game Pass. I know BF1 was given recently and there was one month featuring For Honor and another AAA, but overall that is an aberration rather than the norm. Tbh BF1 is practically given away these days. It's $3.99 on PSN atm.

iplay1up22377d ago

A ton of games just released on Games Pass. Ashen, Below, Senu Helblade, I have so many games to play, I cant keep up!

gamer78042377d ago

yah I'm drowning in games, I'm nearly done with Shadow of the Tombraider, nearing the end then a few of the extra dlc challenge tombs. Then I have Final Fantasy Maxima, FFXIII-lightinging returns(recently BC x enhanced), Hellblade, Below, then KH3 at end of January, also need to give Spiderman a go (just finished kingpins intro section), crackdown3 and Black Desert in feb.

Tons on the backlog too. Great time for gaming.

iplay1up22377d ago

Ori and the Blind Forest released today! The new one drops soon, and will be on Games Pass day one. Have never played Ori.

gamer78042377d ago (Edited 2377d ago )

if you've not tried guardian of light with a friend, its great coop fun, unfortunately I've beaten both of those Lara Croft games.

TGGJustin2378d ago

Celeste is awesome. However they gave that Lara Croft game before. This is the first time that either PS+ or GWG has hit us with a duplicate and it's not cool. It doesn't matter if some people missed it back then it's not fair for those of us who have been members since the start and already have it. First they give us an old OG Xbox game last month and now they hand us a duplicate. Not cool at all.

ElementX2377d ago

Not cool? You feel so entitled that you deserve something new every month? Gold was meant for playing online, they added the games as a bonus.

TGGJustin2377d ago

Entitled? Give me a break you corporate apologist. It doesn't matter that Xbox Live was only for playing online years ago. The fact is they promised 2 new titles on Xbox One and Xbox 360 every month for years now. There are people who purchase Xbox Live just for the free games. Not everyone cares about playing online. You aren't the one who decides what Gold is for.

Atom6662377d ago

Same thing happened a couple of years ago on PS+. People complained and got Sony to offer up something else. Neither situation is something really worth crying over imo.

TGGJustin2377d ago

I'm sorry when was this? I've been a Plus member since day 1 in 2010 and they have never given me a duplicate game. Can you tell me exactly when this was and what the game was? Was it in another country? I know for sure the US has never had one.

TGGJustin2377d ago

Ah so yeah it was in Europe only. I'm in the US so that's why I wasn't quite sure. They've never pulled that stunt here. Still at least they made it up for the EU players and gave them something else. Microsoft needs to do the same thing.

Kribwalker2377d ago

I honestly don’t care. more then half the time i don’t even play the games with gold games, or i already own them, so to me this isn’t a big deal that i get a 360 game twice. I’m sure if there’s enough people that complain about it then they’d do something about it, but otherwise meh, not something to get worked up over unless it became the norm. then it’d be shittier.

i’m sure you are flaming mad about sony removing PS3 and Psvita games as well, especially right after their prices went up they announced it

TGGJustin2377d ago

Actually no I'm not. I've been expecting it honestly for awhile now. At least they gave people a head's up a whole year in advance. They did it right. That way no one who only had those platforms renewed their PS+ and then felt ripped off later. Microsoft is just straight up changing their rules without any notice and leaving some members with less than what they promised.

First time in about 6 months that im actually looking forward GWG. Celeste alone makes it worth being excited over.

IamTylerDurden12377d ago

Weird how people used to rip Sony for giving quality indies on PS Plus, but now people are hyped about them on GwG. The tides have seemingly shifted a bit.

x_xavier_x2377d ago

I haven't played any of these titles so I'm excited to give them try. Far Cry 2 is the only one of that series that I skipped.

A Look at All of the Racing Games Available on Vita

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The racing genre has always felt like a perfect fit on handhelds, thanks to offering bite-sized sessions and being able to hide technical flaws behind blistering speeds and enclosed environments. It provides a large amount of variety too, from immersive sims to light-hearted kart racers (and my personal favourite, drift-heavy arcade racers!), meaning there’s usually something for everyone to enjoy.

Anticipation was high that the Vita would follow in the PSP’s footsteps as a handheld offering an unrivalled selection of racers, from muddy WRC titles to the clean racing lines of Gran Turismo. Beyond the initial months things didn’t quite pan out like this, but there’s still a nice spread of games available to cater to anyone’s tastes – and thanks to the addition of backwards-compatibility with PSP and PS1, the Vita ends up with possibly the largest selection of any console in the last 10 years, even if it's not all running natively on the hardware."
