    Indeed. It's quite obvious that MS can't wait to retire this service and push everyone towards XGP. Games with Gold has been dire for a long time now.

    Whereas Sony have been releasing games Already on PS Now and PS EA Access so they are no better.
    I doubt the majority of Xbox owners are to worried about Gold games alone anymore when they will of converted their Gold for up to 3 years of Xbox Ultimate Gamepass using the £1 trial.

    You usually have to "purchase" the 360 games for free. Then they should be in the library for you.

    Yes it will be the full game.

    How can the brilliant conclusion on the telltale take on the dark knight,an underappreciated but well reviewed indie gem,a half decent 3d offering on the Castlevania series and an actually good sonic game be a load of sh*t? i bet the ps plus offering of a nearly 15 year old game with updated graphics and a poor sonic game gets a load of praise though,this site seems so biased to Sony sometimes, i got both consoles before someone thinks i'm being a fanboy mind,currently finishing up God Of War in fact (edited)

    Seems a bad month for Xbox, but then again Kingdom Hearts 3 has just arrived on Game Pass so shouldn't complain.
  22. MungoSplodge's avatar
    I always prefer a really strong Xbox month, as although i dont have xbox i feel it drives Sony to deliver better. But as they have given this tripe out i have no idea what awaits us on poor old PS4... its the hope that gets you in the end isnt it.
  23. silvercondor's avatar
    Sonic Generations is fantastic. Each of the worlds is split into an old-school side-scrolling level, and an accompanying, completely over the top 3D level.

    I recently finished it on PS Now, but interested to play it properly rather than stream it
  24. Ccontrol's avatar
    Played Sonic Generations and Castlevania on the 360, I have no desire to play them again. However, it's free-ish so one really can't complain to a degree.

    There is no decent games out that warrant me to turn on either my PS4 or xbox one in my opinion and only a few decent games prior to the new consoles releases like 'Last of us 2'.

    Agreed. I think this is an amazing month for games with gold and I don't say that often.

    Fantastic month! All great games!


    Spend £10 on batman few months ago...:/
    Eh, that will teach me... again and again!:)
    Never to buy any games unless new releases if you own Gold and Game Pass...
    And yeah, fantastic month - all games are great and wanted to play Castlevania for ages now... shame it’s not as good as previous one:/ But still! (edited)

    I think on every games with gold and gamepass deal it should automatically post one comment saying great, one saying and one complaining its not a deal. Save us all the trouble

    Not much there for me personally but still 4 games on top of an already incredible package if your on GP Ultimate. (Better still when you share it with a friend). (edited)

    Maybe you should read people’s comment history before labelling them
    Someone who has a different opinion to you is not necessarily a fanboy.

    Thanks. I'd been clicking on the highlighted free button. Hadn't realised I had to click on the buy button, as I thought that was gonna charge me the £8.99
  33. daveroy's avatar
    Realistically Batman is likely the only one I'll actually play, and that will only be after I've got around to finishing the first one, but still a fairly decent month in my opinion.
  34. Stop_It's avatar
    Sonic Generations is X enhanced too, so that'll be fun.

    Kinda wanted Unleashed for the same reason, but there we go, another month maybe!
