When Press Play got its 2.5D physics-based puzzle platformer Max: The Curse of Brotherhood up and running on an Xbox One dev kit for the first time, the Danish developer was jubilant.
It’s all very well playing a super complex, graphically heavy game about time warping baddies and temporal ruptures, but sometimes gamers just want surfaces to jump between.
James writes - "After a week largely dominated by EA titles on the Xbox Live Deals With Gold front, which weren’t exactly great offers, the latest sale is a welcome change. There’s no doubt it needs to deliver better deals this week, doesn’t it?"
Those games are too expensive, I can find them for cheaper at almost any retail store.
Every time I see a Digital game at %40 off, and then it's still $20-40....makes me laugh.
Can go into Gamestop and get these games for much less most of the time and GET a physical copy of the game as well.

Sonic Generations is well worth the $6.50. You cant find it that cheap in stores. The family games sale is acutually decent on some of the titles.
Starting this month, participating retailers in the U.S and UK will be selling digital download codes for select Xbox 360 and Xbox One games and add-ons.
Now if they could just buy back and resell these code, I might once again be visiting gaming, retail stores. Have not visited one in over a year.
First EA acess and now this, it appears to me MSFT did't ditch all plans and stuff about DRM...will they introduce it later when gamers are "ready"? Where MSFT itself will decide that of course as usual...wait and see.
This means retailers ser the price...could lead to more competitive prices but also the oposite...moms,dads, beloved ones won't care paying higher prices as they don't have a clue about real pricing..I guess best price would still be on XBL I guess...
If these codes are the same price as their physical counterparts then this is really good news!
I'm not. If the prices were the same i would definitely purchase all my games that way. At the moment, the prices on the xbox games store is around £15-£20 more expensive than in the shops.
I fail to see the purpose this serves..
Sure... It would allow people without credit cards to buy digital games..
But we've always had point/money cards.. I really don't get it.. Lol
This is good all retailers have price drops and sells so games at best buy might be 50 games at Walmart might be 30 this is good let them compete with the over price market place of xbox and ps store
"Outzen describes it as a "light touch" acquisition. Microsoft owns the company, but it lets it get on with doing its thing without sticking its nose in the inner workings of development. "We do all the games ourselves," he says. "We come up with the ideas. We do the whole production and we put it out. They want us to remain in the same kind of creative bubble."
Glad to hear MS allows their studios freedom
Pretty good news.
I'd hope ms continues doing this.
