    The reason Metro 2033 was so cheap and so often is that it was part of the defunct THQ games that Deep Silver bought when THQ went under. Considering that they just paid about $5.9 million for the rights to both Metro games they were pretty much happy to give away the original game in the hope...

    Nope, I was wondering the same thing. Fingers crossed that it's something interesting. If anyone does find out please post it here as I often find that the advertisements here in Australia for GwG still reflect those back overseas even when the games differ. As for The Raven - I bought The...

    Does this whole thing with Limbo leave a bad taste in anyone else's mouth? Not so much that they're giving it out for free to some people - that's cool. But the fact that they're going to re-release the game for Xbone likely without any changes or differences or even any reason to own it beyond...

    The problem is that every time I go to the xbox.com website it automatically assumes I'm in the USA. I have to physically change the locale to Australia and even then only half the time it works. If I go to the GwG page Powerstar Golf was showing up as being the GwG title but when I clicked on...

    I don't know. My locale was set to USA despite living in Australia. So when I went to get my Xbone game of the month thinking it was going to be Powerstar Golf as that's supposed to be the game of the month over here I was surprised to see that it came up as Chariot and so I happily took that...

    Just to let people know. If you change your locale on the xbox website (at the bottom of the page on the left just click where it says your country) you can also download the full version of Powerstar Golf as it's the GwG for Xbone this month in Australia and a few other countries rather than...

    Sheesh I think you're all missing the point that Raphael was making . . . there's a Titanfall in each and everyone of us and we just have to reach inside and contact it and all our issues will then be solved. Seriously how you all missed Raph's point is beyond me . . . maybe you just couldn't...

    Hey mate, what country are you in - or what state? If your controller is malfunctioning I would either take it back to the retailer where you bought it or call MS. It can't be older than a year as we're just in October at the moment so I'm sure you must be under some warranty. In any case I'm...

    No need to check. It's like an online pass and is free with digital copies (the way you can be 100% sure is that out of the 1000 gamerscore points a bunch are just for the old Alice game - so it's considered part of the Alice Madness Returns). Just a note for the wise that the original AM's...

    I've been waiting for a sale on Burnout Revenge for years. For some reason it's an impossible game to find, even second hand, and when you do it's always priced way high. One of those rare older games that never came down in price. Can't wait to get home from work and line up my xbox to download...

    I still can't believe Awakening was originally $40 back in the day. If you count that fact it's basically almost 85% off what it originally used to go for. I bought Warden's Keep - mainly because the whole inventory thing made me stop playing the game in the first place as you really do need a...

    Looks like there's some weird small sale on Darksiders II DLC that is going to happen as well as the main game becomes a free GwG today - Season Pass just showed up for 15% off  . . . great idea to time a DLC sale with the game going free and I'm glad to see that it's not just for Gold members...

    I don't know what you people are going on about I've been waiting for a beaver tracking simulator for well over a decade. Well worth the $50 IMHO

    Probably not they've been trickling out over a few hours lately. Hopefully we'll get a good non-Gold sale too like we did last week with Lego Marvel Superheroes - it's a great game btw for all you last minute CAGgers

    I know this isn't the place really. But just so people do know it is free right now over Origin if you want a PC version too (and yes Origin . . . EA . . . etc, but it's free and the PC version is a bit better if you prefer playing that way).

    Where do you live and where did you buy your XBone? I'd just take it back to where I bought it and request a replacement and save the hassle of going through Microsoft or dealing with them direct. If you've been sold a lemon by a retailer they have the obligation to replace or repair it for you...

    Buy it . . . do it now. It's a great game. If you like the series and enjoy 2.5D metroidvania games then you can't go wrong. It's 75% off and had Batman in it . . . . what more do you want?

    I haven't played the handheld version but the map is still difficult on the XBLA version. I think it's the fact that the game is a 2.5D Metroidvania and so you can walk around a corner so the map gets difficult to understand at times. This is different from Shadow Complex which, while looking...

    I'd be amazed if Blackgate goes any lower - it's usually a $20 game. I'd bite at $5 as it's definitely worth it. It's been on sale already twice in the last 5 months - which might mean that it might be a good while before we see it on sale again. I don't think we'll ever see it for less than $5...

    Post of the week for me! Nice. I just like how it's not just one chronicle that Red Johnson has but that he has many Chronicles . . . . also the last time I wanted a Red Johnson it cost me far more than $5 and that includes all the antibiotics and itching creams so this sounds like a pretty...
