The Xbox are doing their year in review and along the way, with all your stats, you collect pieces that go towards a snow globe. It's quite neat! |

Xbox One January Games with Gold: Celeste (Jan 1-31) - Bloody brilliant this. Lovely and difficult. WRC 6 (Jan 16-Feb 15) - Go fuck yourselves. Xbox 360 (compatible with Xbox One) Lara Croft: Guardian of Light (Jan 1-15) - Alright. Far Cry 2 (Jan 16-31) - Actually, I’ve never played this and quite fancy a dabble. |

It runs really well on my modestly specced PC at 1080p. Syncs the game with the Xbox too. This is how gaming should work. |

Super Bonberman R - Ace! Bloodstained - I’d never heard of this but just from the box art I thought it was a pixel art Castlevania type game. I was right. Assassins Creed - I reckon I’ve got all the Assassins creed games through games with gold and I’m yet to play a single one of them. Stop giving us them! Star Wars - This is probably good. I’ve probably already got it. I probably won’t play it. |

Why are XBox download speeds so bad? I've got Apex Legends downloading and it's all over the place, in a range from 'shit' to 'really shit'. Our internet is 100Mb/s and Steam will max this out no problem, but XBox can be anything from 5Mb/s to about 40-50Mb/s at the upper end. I've certainly never seen it max the connection out for any appreciable amount of time. Mind you, Playstation downloads often aren't much better. Wank! Attachment: wankersboxers.JPG

Everything that's hard-wired is on gigabit Ethernet, which means speeds of 100MB/s+ on file copies and suchlike on the LAN, but of course the limiting factor for the internet is 100Mb/s down and 11Mb/s up. Steam will merrily max it out on any PC in the house, the Battle.net client usually does, Origin will, etc etc. It's just XBox and Playstation downloads that tend to be a bit shit. |

Steam sucks a rotten dick at feeding me downloads, weird. Doesn't even get close to a quarter of my downstream, which is only like 70Mb. |

Steam goes like a train for me, but only in bursts. MAX OUT - trickle - MAX OUT - trickle etc... Xbox usually holds steady at about 75% of my max speed (about 27meg, I need to go back to Virgin) |

Using a combination of Teamviewer, VPN and Parsec, I am able to play on my xbox from work. The latency is pretty bad, but slower paced games are fine. Not that I'll ever get a chance to play anything, of course. |

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 is brilliant. It was the second ever online multiplayer game I ever played*! I bloody loved it immensely**. It had a hardcore mode before CoD with one shot kills throughout. If the multiplayer still works next month I’ll be putting some hours in. *The first was FEAR. ** And the campaign was really good, as far as my brain remembers. |

I had a go at that Stars Wars: Republic Commando from last month. The OG Xbox freebie? Hey, it’s pretty good! If you ain’t knowing, you control a team of Stormtroopers (or some shit) and shoot people in a range of missions. You play one of the stormtroopers or clones (or whatever the fuck) and have basic command of three of the stormtroopers or republicans (or some bollocks) but much less than, say, the Conflict: Desert Storm series. It’s kinda fun in a sort of non-taxing way assuming you can ignore the washed out textures and stuff of the OG days. So yeah... stormtroopers and shit init |

Yeah I bought one of them for my XBox 360. /checks 360 games collection. Tiger Woods PGA Tour '09 apparently, couldn't get comfortable with the thing at all, gave up after a couple of hours in the end, the control system was the most dismally fiddly streak of pissy bollcks it's ever been my misfortune to interact with. Looked nice though. There's a real craft to making a golf game simple enough, but also engaging and challenging enough, to please the keen videogame golf player. Everybody's Golf on PS4 is one of the best I've played for years, but I'm still quite partial to a round of Neo Turf Masters in MAME. |
