"Often times I find myself wandering through my local video game retailer for upwards of a half hour musing over all the low cost titles. My funds are generally pretty limiting when it comes to affording games so I’m always on the hunt for a bargain or something I’ve had my eye on for a while waiting for it to come down in price." -RoboAwesome
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising launched back in 2009, bringing the realistic military operations to console for the first time.
Seeing as EA now own this franchise wouldn't it make sense for DICE to develop a new Operation Flashpoint game? Battlefield has realism to a certain extent but it isn't exactly "real"
COG writes: Every month, two armies stand in a field and stare at each other in an intimidating manner. A battle royale ensues. Sony and Microsoft stand at arm's length from each other, slapping each other with white gloves in a distinguished fashion. Actually, they just give away free games. Which lineup rules the roost in December 2015? Let's turn to the tale of the tape.
I am thinking EVERYONE wins. Whether the games are great or mediocre, they are downloadable with your console online service of choice and give you some value, and even more gameplay time. YAY to games.
Van Helsing and Sacred are better than anything the PS4 is getting.
Lol Sony is giving us an episode of a game (something that Telltale routinley gives out for free), and a game that has been part of a $3 bundle on the PC.
Having said that, I expected more from both as a Christmas present.
Still, Gold takes it hands down seeing as how all Gold games can now be played on the XBONE.
Soon Xbox Live subscribers will have access to a new set of free games they can play on their Xbox 360s or Xbox Ones.
Castlestorm was already free on the XB1, so that is a wash, but I am pleased with the other titles! I have been dying to play Sacred 3 (even though I hear it is pretty bad) because I thoroughly enjoyed Sacred 2. I have been wanting to play Thief as well. All of these are games I have wanted to try, but didn't really want to buy, so this list works out great for me!
Loved Thief, very underrated and will check out Van Helsing, it's a top down game like Diablo, IIRC.
Damn MS, really good stuff. I like that they are reaching for bigger games, not just indies. Always wanted to try Thief and will definitely get Operation Flashpoint.
They should have ended the year with a bang. Just cause 2 and fallout 3 for the Xbox 360. Maybe ryse and sunset overdrive for the Xbox one. Only game that I'm somewhat interested in is operation flashpoint which is probably not as good as the arma series.
i agree, Dragon Rising was an awesome game!! had a lot of fun with it.
if you like it, you will LOVE Red River.
Caught myself looking at Operation Flashpoint: Red River the other day, but at that price Dragon Rising sounds awesome. Being different from CoD/Halo is a huge selling point for me. Not knocking either, but I'm getting worn out on that style of shooter.
"Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is one of those titles that gets absolutely flogged when the reviewers get their hands on it but for the most part I think it’s a grossly misunderstood title. For one – many people have been indoctrinated into the Call of Duty and Halo style of shooter preferring the fast action, short life span, instant gratification that these top tier shooters offer."
A VERY true statement.
sounds awesome! I will have to check it out for sure.
Bang bang bang BOOM.
One thing I love about getting my 360 so late is lots of good games are in the bargain bin!
