Couldn't be any more terrible:
Horrible month but to be honest, like many, I'll be too into Horizon 3 and Gears 4 to care.
The title is awful, but has anyone played Super Mega Baseball? If it's an arcade-y baseball game I might actually have fun playing that for free.
What genre is I am Alive?I kind of liked I Am Alive, it was interesting. The rest I haven't played but they are free so I'll give them a shot.
Super Mega baseball is one of the best games from the last 2 years. Don't dismiss it just because you don't like sports games. It's not just a 'silly baseball game' either, it's really deep with difficult, challenging, strategic gameplay.
Feel like I have to preach about this because it's such a good game but people are either turned off by the cartoonish graphics or that it's sports. It got a 100/100 from Gaming age, 9/10 from polygon, 8.5/10 from Destructoid, etc. It's a legitimately great game.
I've had SMB on my Steam wishlist for a long time, didn't realize it was released on X1. For some reason, I thought it was more mouse-controlled baseball game but it must be with a fine controller, haha.It's fantastic. I don't play any sports games these days due to their sim nature which is too slow for me but SMB is a throwback to old school sports games, like Nintendo era. It's pretty fast paced with a game taking around 20 minutes to complete. It's somewhat arcadey but still true to the sport. My single favorite feature is the difficulty system. Instead of a few different settings (easy,med,hard) you can adjust a slider from 1-100 to gain much more control. This is useful for evening out things against my wife who is terrible. Sports fan or not you should give it a go, the price is right.
I had already purchased for PS4 and PC and couldn't bring myself to buy it again for X1 (my only current console) so I'm glad to get it this way.
Its a third person adventure/survival game.What genre is I am Alive?
Apparently the multiplayer servers for MX vs. ATV: Reflex aren't even online anymore lol, which means 7 of the Achievements are unobtainable. >_>
Really MS?

I wish there was a horror theme for Halloween. I didn't know there was a connection between baseball and the start of the playoffs for Mlb. Guess I'll give it a try, but baseball is just so boring.

New games are up.
Super mega baseball (XB1):

MX vs ATV Reflex (XB1 & 360):
https://www.microsoft.com/store/p/MX-vs-ATV-Reflex/BSF4MQFNW44N
(If it's not showing as free/0.00 try again later)
I don't know if I can even be bothered to redeem the games this month. One of the XB1 games being of a sport that only two countries in the entire world actually play is really silly.
They gave out an F1 game once...Not like Microsoft care about Europe before. Makes perfect sense imo.
It is a shame for Mark of the Ninja to compare it to that gameSo Assassin's Creed Chronicles is essentially Mark of the Ninja: Assassin's Creed DLC?
