IDK, doesn't look to bad. Kinda reminds me of a "retro" cross of Legendary Axe and Rastan. I'll give it a shot...

Yeah I don't think it looks too bad. MS sure does like to give us these types of games though it seems.

Yeah, don't think "full" retail games will start hitting until next year (probably around E3). There just aren't enough games on the platform to really start giving away retail games at this point. Sony is in the same boat wit h the PS4. For the $3 or so bucks I spend on live per month, I'm ok with it. When a really good game comes out on GWG, I almost feel guilty grabbing it. :).

This is a pretty cool game actually. It's really badass and challenging to play. Played it a long time ago, but I haven't installed it on my own PC. Stinks that it doesn't have a 360 release, but cool to know Adult Swim releases games on the xbox as well too. Hopefully they get Jazzpunk on there as that'd be pretty fun to play on a console.
 
It actually went down yesterday to a little over 6 bucks. Right after I bought it for 8. :/
I noticed that. What the hell was that about? I did not know that the deals with gold fluctuated. Is that a normal thing?
 
Not much good offerings for both companies' 1 year anniversary, Gold even worse with just one game for next-gen.
 
Volgarr is pretty awesome, I bought it a long time ago actually.

Any SNES gamers, if you remember the game Super Ghouls n Ghosts? It's a bit like that, just with a lot more badassery.

Hopefully VP is coming back hence the 360 version being free. It's a great game by the way in case its look put people off.
 
I'd be interested to see the achievement stats for Volgarr. I bet most folks won't even have one. I played it for a bit, not for me. I have found most modern day indie games fail to capture that magic of classic side scrollers. I still play the old ones and one thing you need is spot on controls. This doesn't have that, it is more so an exercise in frustration.

Download for later but seriously VP might surprise a lot of people.

Hopefully this means Rare will make the rare Piñata available again for those that complete all the challenges.
 
I'm trying. But I find myself at a loss for instruction... I'm thrown into a garden with different gardening tools, a few piñatas visit, and I receive a few hints on what to do... No real motivation to keep moving...

It's a simulation game. The motivation is to really grow your garden and sort of "collect" as many animals as you can. Although the game does feature a story mode of some kind.
 
I played VP back in the day I enjoyed it actually just did not get around to buying it. Will be downloading this. I'm sure my son will like it now.

I've been playing a lot of Battlefield Bad Company 2. Forgot how fun this game was and since it went free it is easy to find matches.
 
Oh Volgar, I have never died this many times in one game and continued to bash my head against the wall trying
