Heads-up to anyone interested in Strider, if you have a PS4 it's £2.49 on their store.
Tempted as I used to play the original back on the Atari ST.

Curious phenomenon, why can't I buy and install certain BC games straight from the console? Can't even do it on the app. Weird. Heat added for SoR collection, wish Sega would acknowledge and stick in Bomber Games fantastic SoR Remake in there.

Agreed, it seems crazy they've managed the very difficult job of getting the games working on the Xbox One but then haven't properly integrated payment for the games on the Xbox One. I can't remember how I ended up buying the games last time but there was a lot of frustration.

For Xbox 360 BC purchases, you can't use your Xbox account credit. You have to put another payment method on file. It was frustrating to buy store credit top up card, then find out I couldn't use it for the 360 purchases on the One.
Payment options had to be updated. I had to put them in again, although there was nothing new to input and then it finally let me use the payment method of choice.
Funny enough, the first time I did this was for a 360 BC GWG, lol so I didn't get charged anyway. Have had no problem since buying digital BC games.
Edited - just to add that MS support told me I can buy 360 games with account credit and if the game is BC it can also be downloaded on One. Game saves are interchangeable between both consoles as long as you sign in using same account. Or something like that.... I've never tried it - yet... :relaxed: Someone will know more, I guess?

Yes regards saves if say you have a 360 downstairs and play a bc game it saves to the cloud if you then have the same account on your Xbox one upstairs and play same game it retrieves your save from the cloud.
gemvis to daveridesdonkeys
7 Sep 17#67
Also you can use credit to buy 360 games bc games BUT you need to do it from your 360 or a pc then as long as it's the same account the games will appear on your Xbox one.

I knew someone would no more detail. Thanks gemvis. I can't try it out either, because I don't have a 360. I went for the One S instead and decided to dabble a little in BC 360 digital purchases. I never had the 360, but in hindsight I think I was a bonehead for investing so heavily in PS3 games. So this gen I won't buy anything else for PS4 unless it is an exclusive. Xbox One physical games only to be played on the X and maybe next gen if I'm lucky? Not sure if strategy will work out, but worth a try maybe?

Sorry guys. Bit of a silly question but the forza 5 that was included in this months games with gold. Is that the GOTY that includes everything? I ask because I'm thinking about getting the car pass or VIP. Thanks.

Until the only media that remains is downloading I will refuse to join purchase games via download. Although in this case the cost is reasonable, in general the cost is unjustifiable and removes the second hand value of a game.
MasterChief2017 to Th3.Ripper
5 Sep 17#52
Thats my general opinion. I only download when the game is cheaper than a physical copy and there is hardly any sell on value.
daveridesdonkeys to MasterChief2017

Agree. This is a good strategy to adopt.

This crops up EVERY time, find a friend and gameshare, 50% off!! These games are pretty worthless in terms of resale anyway, but I can honestly say that I haven't traded in a game since I was a kid, I just research first and NEVER buy on launch unless its heavily discounted :thumbsup:

Go and look at the Saturn versions and tell me they are anything like the arcade version. They were atrocious.

Totally didn’t see this in the list. Bought for reliving my teens in ‘sega world’. Remember when this came out after Virtua Racing. It will like the next generation blow your mind visuals!!!! Need sega rally too!!!

I was an arcade lurker most of the 90s. Daytona USA is burnt into my mind. One of the places near where I lived had an 8 cabinet link setup in 1995 which was easy £100k worth at the time. They had all the best Sega cabinets as soon as they came out. There is a very good Model 2 and Model 3 PC emulator for all those.
I have been throwing pound coins at the latest iteration that came out this year, it's pretty fun.

Alien Isolation is awesome! I died a a lot too, but its not such a bad thing when it helps fool the AI and you manage to get through a part of the game.

Xbox one sale is pretty poor this week. Resident evil 7 price is a bit of a joke compared to what it's going for on psn at the moment

The darkness 2 is worth £50 alone such a good game I encourage everyone to give it a go and read the comics absolutely marvellous , no pun intended
combat_honey to weerob88
5 Sep 17#27
IMHO it was a huge disappointment after the first game. The combat and graphics were great, but there was no hub area, the game was entirely linear, and it was also really short. Just when I was hoping the game would open up into something resembling the first game it just... ended.
Still, it's a good game if you don't have any expectations from playing the first. Especially at this price.

Agree it's pretty short I think only 10 hours if I remember rightly and I admit I didn't play the first but I always plan to

"The Xenomorph in Alien: Isolation has two brains one that always knows where you are and gives hints to the second that controls the body :grin: "
Does the capcom all in one pack contain all the games they sold separately in the past for this game? If so is it a bit of a bargain vs individual purchases? I'll be adding Daytona and Sega bass fishing lol, already have crazy taxi
