CFD!'s Rob Thomas jumps into Twisted Pixel's newest XBLA release:
"Captain Smiley is a pretty crappy superhero. He’s insecure, frequently confused and his itchy trigger finger has resulted in the accidental death of more than one innocent. Not traits that we typically associate with the larger-than-life 4-color demigods of our youth. Mind you, it doesn’t exactly help that he’s perpetually browbeaten by his “friends” just as often as the villains in his rogues gallery either. That can’t be good for anyone’s self-esteem. It’s no wonder the poor guy’s series got cancelled."
Neil writes: "It may be hard for many to believe, but it's been a decade since Twisted Pixel Games were right at the top of their game, delivering experiences filled with humour, clever ideas and utter madness. While it may have been the success of The Maw and the outstanding 'Splosion Man which really thrust them into the limelight, Comic Jumper was still a pretty damn brilliant playthrough too - and right now that playthrough is free to take in thanks to the game being gifted to all via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for May 2019."
Carlos writes: "Whilst the year may be progressing faster than we can blink, and games seem to be arriving in the digital stores by the dozens each week, it has to be said that the start of any month is a time in which many Xbox players quietly look forward to. Sure you have all those exciting new releases as well, but more importantly, if you’re one of the millions of subscribers to Xbox Live Gold, you’ll be rubbing your hands together with the imminent arrival of fresh new titles at no extra cost. With May now upon us, that time is now, so without further ado, let’s take a look at this month’s Xbox Games With Gold freebies to see if the wait has been worthwhile!"
Stop calling them "free" games. You are paying to access them.
Also, no, that's the crappiest lineup I've seen in a while.
Major Nelson: For the month of May, Xbox Live Gold members will receive four new free games - two on Xbox One and two on Xbox 360 - as part of the Games with Gold program.
Ah, Captain Smiley, good times.
My favorite part (from what I've seen) is the Comics Obscenity Commission (and its acronym)...such a good satirical addition.
Sounds pretty interesting, though I still need to play 'Splosion Man and The Maw...
I've heard some good things about this game, and now I'm sold.
Dammit, need more games on PSN!
