I'm still waiting for them to continue the Jedi Knight franchise. Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy were the two best.Star Wars games ever released.

And I still can't believe that they didn't release a decent Star Wars game with 1:1 light saber controls. The nearest anyone came was Ubisoft with Red Steel 2. Substitute the Wild West location with a Star Wars location, Wild West weapons for Star Wars weapons, Samurai powers with Force powers and the Samurai Sword with a light saber and you would have seen the best Star Wars game EVER!!! :o

Sunset Overdrive pre-owned £13.99.
Tempting, but like I say - I've not actually played on the console for a long while, and I've already ordered one game this month. (Plus there's the GWG freebies for the last month or two, yet to be played. And I never really got Halo MCC played - I only did something like a quarter of the first game. And I don't think I got very far through The Lego Movie. And I haven't yet picked up the latest COD map pack - always worth it just for the zombies levels. Oh - I also got sent that SMITE alpha invite about three weeks ago. Haven't tried that out yet either. Not sure if it's still active tbh.)

Edit - oh, just remembered I also have "Kinect Sports Rivals" and "Lords of the Fallen" that I bought digitally two or three months back and haven't yet looked at.
Too many games, not enough time.

If you liked the first Crackdown late, you'll like Sunset Overdrive I think.

The repetitive missions do "grind" a bit.. heh.. but overall its a very playable time waster with loads to do in it.

Certainly beating everything else out of my machine at the moment.

Yeah, I didn't much fancy it from the adverts and reviews but I played it when they made it free for a weekend and enjoyed it, so I'm sure I'd enjoy the full game. I'll hold off for now, and maybe get it at some point in the future.

Yeah, I'm tempted by that, too.
The only down side is I really enjoyed the alternative 60s setting (with German versions of Yellow Submarine & House of the Rising Sun, news clippings about the war and the resistance throughout the 40s and 50s, etc.), and will miss all that.
Can't argue with the price, either. I think it's £14.99 most places. Cheapest looks to be £12.06 at videogamebox (listed at £12.70 but use code 'VGBDISCOUNT' to knock 5% off). They're probably perfectly fine but I've not used them before so can't personally vouch for them.

Big new patch for Halo MCC today - seems to be mainly aimed at tracking and punishing quitters and betrayers.

343 also announced ODST will be added to the Collection (no extra cost) in May.

Haven't been on Halo MCC for a while.. nice to see a release date for ODST though.. its by far the worst campaign to play through in terms of fun and it didn't really do much for multiplayer.. but I'll probably go back to the game when it releases.. worth while playing through it another time.

The new Mad Max trailer looks great.

This wasn't supposed to happen. It's a game tie-in of a film remake. It has disaster written all over it, and yet it looks really good!
