This week's VS brings you Ryan vs. Michael! Will the Mad King use his evil skills to win this week's match?
From Xbox Wire: "The July Games with Gold lineup is here! On the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, explore a mysterious, strange world in Planet Alpha, and create your own levels and destroy everyone else’s in Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break. And for our classic lineup via Backward Compatibility, play as everyone’s favorite raunchy squirrel in Conker: Live & Reloaded, and relive the golden age of arcade gaming in Midway Arcade Origins."
Confession time... I never played the original Conker on N64 and I did not play the xbox remake. It wasnt until Rare Replay that i played a Conker game. I do enjoy the Midway arcade series though. And that Planet Alpha looks kind of intriguing.
That Rock of Ages is sad, though. But, yeah, the other stuff isn't necessarily bad, just somewhat niche in market reach potential.

Will never understand the love that Conker and Banjo Kazooie garners. I had both on N64 back in the day. Both were just inferior versions of Super Mario 64.
I loved that game as much as anyone, but I think Banjo was as good, if not better. It took all that best elements from Mario 64 and expanded on them with more creative and diverse levels. CBF hasn't aged well at all due to its humor and terrible voice acting, but like Banjo, it was pushing the hardware more and had some brilliant gameplay elements to it. Mario 64 aged the best out of the lot because it had a very basic art style and simple, yet brilliant, level design.
That's arguable.
So because Pepperoni/Mushroom pizza is inferior to Anchovie pizza...Pepperoni Mushroom isnt amazing?
Im a fan of Pizza/3D platformers though....
Not true at all, they each had their own unique charm. Not to mention their own twist on things. No need to compare them, they were all really iconic games for different reasons.
Inferior? No way in hell. I will admit they wouldn't exist without Mario 64, but they took what that game did and knocked it up a notch. I would at least say they are all on equal footing.
Make it 4k retro compatible, I have my original game ready to play again.
