Crackdown has aged poorly - when it first came out the free roaming city you could just jump around in was great however its been surpassed many times since (and SR IV was such a joy to play with that mechanic last year)

Sleeping dogs is a game which *should not be good* it started as another game (True Crime) and then was sold off to another developer who put enough in to make it work and released it but it has some good basic mechanics and a 'fun' story (okay well not fun but it all makes sense in a cheap movie kind of way) and the mission structure works to lead you though the game.

Its definitely worth a play

Good idea. So it's worth rememberng to re-download?

Actually, I should just look how much a bigger hard drive is.

So given that todays the 30th - i'm surprised we dont know what 'next months' games with gold titles are since you should be able to download the first one on Saturday , this suggests that either one of the titles is something great - or they are both junk :-)

Nah , thats two 'full price' titles - i'm thinking one of those could be correct with something from XBLA with a metacritic score of between 60 and 70 maybe like

http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360 ... -refuelled

Jetpac refuelled or

http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/flock!

Flock!

Or if they are really pushing out the boat something thats actually quite good but has been on offer a lot so that people have already bought it - e.g.

Dark Souls would seem like a great deal for them and its already been down to £4 quite a few times on XBL + it could get people excited for the sequel.

Or maybe something like The Maw or Explosion Man which were both good XBL arcade games from 2009 so nearly 5 years old - but i think we might end up with a crappy XBLA and an old 'full game' from the first 2 years of the 360's existence to 'go up against' games that were in the running for a lot of places Game of the Year on PS+

It's... an acquired taste. I picked it up on Steam for a fiver and it's interesting enough. Much improved with co-op.

Just realised I haven't downloaded Lara Croft yet, when I try and do so (on my computer) it says the price is £9.99

and when I go to click on it, it asks me to confirm my credit card.

What's going on?

Dust looks good but it's mind-numbingly boring.

It just made me fire up the GBA emulator to play some castlevania.

It looks like Microsoft are sending out reminders to people who had points in their account which were switched over to 'cash' in June last year

It goes to the email address you have registered for your account - so may not be your regular one - worth checking as you only have about a month to spend whatever is left on there otherwise you lose it.

Got Xbox Live Gold And Don't Need It Anymore? Microsoft Will Pay You Back

Microsoft recently announced a major change to its online subscription. Starting in June, an Xbox Live Gold membership will no longer be required to access third-party apps like Hulu Plus and Netflix.

However, the new standard doesn’t do much good for the vast number of users who have paid $59.99 for an entire year of an Xbox Live Gold membership they no longer need. Luckily, Microsoft has offered these people a solution.

Once the new update goes live, Xbox Live Gold subscribers who want to cancel their subscription will receive a refund if they do so before the end of August.

“If you purchased a Gold membership before the changes to Gold are available in June you have until 31 August 2014 to cancel, and receive a pro-rata refund of any unused days remaining between the day that you cancel and the day that your paid Gold membership ends,” Microsoft writes on its Xbox FAQ.

An Xbox Live Gold membership is still required to use the Xbox 360 or Xbox One for multiplayer gaming.


I have Live until some point next year

Live ran iut a few months ago. I still have some cash in there, but not enough to buy anything I'd want. And as I'm not putting in any more, it's going to disappear.

Still, I'm sure it's worth it for them.
