- What were your favourite games?

Going by games I did not play before, I'd say The Wolf Among Us (Xbone) and XCOM: Enemy Unknown (360). I really liked the style and characters of Wolf Among Us and XCOM was a fun and challenging strategy game. LTTP on both and very much enjoyed them.

- What games surprised you with how good they were?

Nothing this year.

- What games disappointed you?

Earthlock: Festival of Magic. As basic as it was, I was liking it at first. No voice acting wasn't too much of a bother either but too any bosses and tough encounters too close together with very little reward ruined it for me. I started to feel no motivation and the lack of presentation started to wear on me. I wanted to like it more and gave it chances but I just gave up.

- Did you feel there was enough variety?

Other than me already owning most of the games, I thought the variety was good. Could be better but still good.

- Are the offerings still worth the cost of subscription?

I'd say yes. Even though I owned most, they're still great games worth it for anyone who hasn't played them before and for them to get the chance is fine by me.

- Which console had the biggest improvement from last year?

Probably Xbone but not sure on this one.

- Which console could do with being improved next year?

Eh, not sure.

- Where the hell is Ryse?

Who cares.

I think ignoring all other parts of Gold, if there was a standalone service which let you rent these 48 games for one year for $45, a lot of people would bite..

Yeah, I think the value is still incredibly difficult to complain about.

There were a few games I tried with Gold this year that I may not have otherwise, and that's all I really look for from the service. I didn't get gold *for* the free games, so it makes disappointing months easier to swallow
