    XBL Deals - 2018

    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.

    XBL Deals - 2018

    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...

    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.

    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!

    Happy to hear about Overlord 2. It is one of the few games I didn't get all the achievements, so I may go back to it some time for another play through.

    I really liked Prey. Released May last year, so I think it counts as "this past year." Never played System Shock, but a lot of people have compared it to that. Since I've not played it, I can't confirm. To me, it felt like Deus Ex meets Bioshock meets Alien Isolation meets Dishonored Deus...

    I finally got sick of waiting for the FH3 Hoonigan Car Park to go on sale.  Blizzard Mountain, Hot Wheels, and their bundles have all been discounted at one point or more, but Hoonigan has been 6.99 since its release last August.   After 10 months, I figure they've forgotten about it so I...

    Pre-ordered Nier Automata (full price) and bought the Prey dlc (full price). Wait, I dont think I'm doing this cheapassgamer thing right. But in all honesty, Prey was so good and I love Arkane so much.  It broke my heart to see the game bomb, so I have to support them.  The DLC is actually a...

    Picked up kingdom come. 33 percent off is better than I expected so I grabbed it. Last time I think it was only 15 percent off so I'm pleasantly surprised. Ditto with Life is Strange Beyond the Storm. Think the best it's ever done is 40 percent off so I will bite at 50 percent. Pretty...
