The Sacred series has been a haven for folks who like top down, action RPG lootfests. Vast worlds to explore, cities and quests aplenty, monsters attacking at every turn. For the latest release in the series, Sacred Citadel, Deep Silver and SouthEnd Interactive are taking a risk with the franchise by creating a side scrolling beat-’em-up as the prequel to the upcoming Sacred 3. The shift from action RPG over to a beat-em-up game would normally be a shocking and off-putting change, but it sure does help matters when the gameplay is enjoyable. It’s just too bad Sacred Citadel is not very memorable.
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.
Deep Silver only conjures memories of Cursed Mountain and how much fun I didn't have with that game.
I'm personally of the opinion that the world needs more side-scrolling brawlers.
This one in particular looks like its pretty good, though not essential.
I'll probably wait for a price drop before I invest however.
