Tempted by Kingdoms of Amalur, but the total cost would be 10 (base game) + 14 (two dlcs)... 24 dollars for a 5 year old previous-gen game... Worth it?

Just watched the trailer for Super Blackjack Battle II Turbo Edition. I can't believe this is a thing.

Bought Bloodstained, Soma, and Flipping Death in the end. Decided against Graveyard Keeper.  Too many reviews describe it as too grindy.  More like "work" than a game.  I try not to take reviews as gospel, but when nearly everyone has the same complaints, I tend the criticism seriously...

There's a buncha games here that I'm really interested in... Soma, Graveyard Keeper, Observer, Voodoo Vince All four of those I'm probably buying for sure. (I know Graveyard Keeper is on gamepass, but I still prefer to own the game instead of "rent' it) There's a few more that I have my eye...

When I saw the second winner's name, my heart leapt in my throat for a second:  ritchardf Thanks for the giveaway, Bloomy.  Two full-price ultimate editions.  Super duper awesome of you. Just dont give me a heart attack like that again.  

Omega Strike, eh...? Never heard of it.  But has an 80 on metacriitc (4 reviews) and 4.5/5 on xbox.com (17 reviews)... Will definitely think about this one.

I'm like a year late, but Assassins Creed Origins is amazing.  Just started it last week. It's making me eye that Ezio Collection on sale for 20 dollars... I own and have beaten all three games on 360, but I think it's been long enough that they would feel fresh.  Baby #2 coming next month...

Bought Beholder on sale last month.  It's $1.50 less now compared to then.  Them's the breaks I guess. It was a good game, nothing amazing.  Gameplay and style kinda reminded me of This War of Mine.  Depressing mostly-black-and-white game that is less about action and more about making tough...

Have never heard of this game, but comparisons to Stardew Valley just put it way the hell up on my radar. I dont have gamepass, so am definitely curious what people think about it.

Microsoft Gift Cards are back as the "Hot Deal" for Microsoft Rewards. 3750 points for 5 dollars.  Down from 4650. Remember:  the money is auto-deposited in your account now, and expires in 90 days. Get 'em early if you're interested, though, we've seen the deal end early in past.  "While...

Really interested in both Beholder and Bard's Gold. Had never heard of Beholder, but the art style and premise look really intriguing.  Reading about it reminds me of "This War of Mine" which I liked a lot.  I'm thinking I'll almost certainly pick it up. Bard's Gold has had my eye for a long...

If you've two hours to kill and are really interested in learning more about the Silent Hill HD Collection's problems, watch Twin Perfect's Silent Hill HD Collection Review Part 1 and 2.   It goes ridiculously in-depth, and it's damn interesting, in my opinion.   I loved SH 2 and 3, but I'm...

Mini-review of The Count Lucanor - on sale for $4.50 from $15: The visuals remind me of an NES-style Silent Hill or Evil Within.  Lots of grotesque imagery and gore.  The music is also very charming.  Watch the trailer for examples of the graphic style and music.  You should know if you're...

Loved both games immensely. Each one required multiple playthroughs for 100 percent, and I was happy to do them.

The Count Lucanor:  4.49 No one else will care, but I've been waiting for this game to go on sale for a while!
