Overall, what really makes Captain Smiley so memorable is the fact that Twisted Pixel has laid the groundwork for a potential series. Thanks to Comic Jumper, I'm actually ready to buy another Captain Smiley game, or heck, even a comic book. It's obvious that The Adventures of Captain Smiley benefits from the same doting care that the developers have for their work, and the oddball storytelling here is ripe for a franchise. As long as the gameplay take a much-needed dose of Ritalin the next time around, I'm highly anticipant of a bigger, better sequel.
Neil writes: "It may be hard for many to believe, but it's been a decade since Twisted Pixel Games were right at the top of their game, delivering experiences filled with humour, clever ideas and utter madness. While it may have been the success of The Maw and the outstanding 'Splosion Man which really thrust them into the limelight, Comic Jumper was still a pretty damn brilliant playthrough too - and right now that playthrough is free to take in thanks to the game being gifted to all via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for May 2019."

Sure you have all those exciting new releases as well, but more importantly, if you’re one of the millions of subscribers to Xbox Live Gold, you’ll be rubbing your hands together with the imminent arrival of fresh new titles at no extra cost. With May now upon us, that time is now, so without further ado, let’s take a look at this month’s Xbox Games With Gold freebies to see if the wait has been worthwhile!"
Stop calling them "free" games. You are paying to access them.
Also, no, that's the crappiest lineup I've seen in a while.
Major Nelson: For the month of May, 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.
