I would warn caution on Vice city. Rockstar lost the rights to a lot of the music that was in the original game.

That includes Billie Jean by Michael Jackson

Anyone played The Sinking City? A mate of mine recommended it recently, said he found it really absorbing.

Remember installing and uninstalling it the same day   :P

That was on the Xbox One mind you, but I seem to remember the controls and game design being really clunky. The concept and story sounds great on paper, but I found the game to be quite poor (and I'm usually one to give games some time!).

Have you read reviews or are you putting all your faith in Rawkites? :)

I have no idea what I’m taking about

It's got generally favourable reviews, some do mention the clunky design (something that has killed well-reviewed games in the past for me, see Greedfall) but I do tend to get a good feel on games from people on RAWK  ;D

Downloaded Alien isolation. yeah it's an old game but it's halloween and the dark nights are drawing in so want something scary. Downloading that Visage too. ooh that looks creepy. Shooter wise i downloaded Wolfenstein 2 the new colossus. never played any of them. That quick resume is amazing

Will probably have to get a 4k tv now though ::) pointless buying this piece of kit without one isn't it

Alien Isolation is fantastic.  I never knew hiding in cabinets for hours on end could be so rewarding.  The art design has Alien down perfectly.

Been dying to play Max Payne 3 again for years, you couldn’t even buy the old version. Downloaded it last night on Xbox will start playing once I’ve finished Deathloop.

Had a couple of games of Halo last night, both CTF. Plays like Halo which is refreshing from the COD's and BF's..

Made me want a Resistance FOM remake too. Not enough of these games about anymore. I find them easier than to play and not rage at.

I feel like the standard of player is higher than when for example Halo 3 or 4 came out. I'm kinda hoping it will attract more casual players when the official release date arrives, I've mostly been playing the unranked playlist and everyone seems pretty capable! Having said that, I'm really enjoying it - feels better than 4 and 5 already.

Xbox ending the backward compatability programme quietly last night, that was the final update to it due to ‘legal and technical constraints.’

Glad there’s finally some new, big hitters coming out, my Series S has been gathering dust for a while but been hammering Forza lately and going to give Halo a go tonight.

The lighting looks immaculate. Ninja Theory are a good studio, this will probably be a day one download for me with it being on Game Pass.

The first one was a great game, a real experience. It was a bit harrowing at times and I could never play for more than an hour or so at a time but it left a lasting impression and combat was fairly fun.

And so much more enjoyable when playing with headphones too

I had terrible drift on my Series S controller after four months, also right stick.  Mine was under warranty so I sent it off, bought a Nacon Pro Compact to see me through, my replacement arrived but I stuck with the Nacon.  Its inbetween the Xbox controller and the dual shock so takes some getting used to, but Im flying on it now.

There are videos how to apparently fix drift but it involves taking it apart which I didn’t fancy doing.

Stuff like this is what makes Game Pass brilliant value for money. Last night I downloaded ME Remastered last night, one of my favourite series of all time, and next week I'll get the Hitman trilogy.

I bought the trilogy the day Hitman 3 came out, cost a small fortune, but I had hours of enjoyment and Im glad others will get the chance to play some of THE great modern games.

Game Pass is superb, Starfield later this year, on day onr.

I had doubts about whether I'd personally get enough value out of it. What a ridiculous thought. I'm currently playing Unravel 2 and Overcooked 2 with my girlfriend, I've got Madden 21 from EA Play and also just started Halo Infinite and Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Crazy value.

Starfield would likely be £60 - £70 for physical release, so if you'd have bought that anyway, like I and most Bethesda fans would, it's like you're getting a year for £50.
