GameFocus: "To be honest, I can’t really fault Sacred Citadel. Sure, the campaign can be knocked out in a weekend, and the combat can get repetitive if you don’t take advantage of all the moves the game has to offer. And while it is supposed to set the stage for the main course found in Sacred 3, the story is as predictable as they come, so you’ll find yourself focusing on how high you can get your combo count up rather than seeing where the franchise is heading with the third entry. However, all of that is not necessarily a bad thing. Fans may struggle with the genre shift, but Sacred Citadel is exactly what it set out to be: A pick-up-and-play side-scroller where button-mashing trumps anything resembling narrative depth. It is a throwback to the days when gaming did not include complex mechanics or award-winning writing. As long as you come in expecting that, you’ll be more than happy with the $15 investment, especially if you have a buddy or two to join you."
Neil writes "As Xbox gamers we've had a huge number of discounts thrust our way with the recent Xbox Live Deals With Gold offerings. This week though? Well, it's a little sparse to say the least. But which are the best and worst of the deals on offer between the 20th-26th Sept 2016? We delve in and take a look."
Neil writes "The Xbox Games With Gold scheme very rarely fails to deliver. Since it’s inception, there have been a ton of games given away on both Xbox One and Xbox 360. With the latest Xbox 360 titles now becoming backwards compatible on the bigger more powerful console, the program has seemingly moved up another gear. But ultimately, Games With Gold will be judged on the quality of the free titles being given away. With that in mind, is February 2016 any good?"
Today Microsoft announced the Games with Gold line-up for February 2016, by way of Xbox Live Director of Programming Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb.
I'll give hand of fate a go. It's poor month, in my opinion - unless you haven't played Gears of War 2.
Not up to the standard I've come to expect from GWG but I'll give hand of fate a go and will probably skip the others as I've already beaten Gears 2 multiple times
I already own styx, its a fun game but i couldnt beat it since the levels were huge.
Still waiting for Black Ops BC. Would forfeit a month of GWG for it.
