You can definitely download them onto your XB1, I've done it for the past few months. That is the whole reason why they advertise the Free Games with Gold being Backwards Compatible. Even the reverse is true, if you only have a 360, you can "buy" the free XB1 titles and they will become...

Well, that's the joy of streaming, you don't have to relocate your console or your PC to enjoy the XB1 games on the PC. You just have to make sure the XB1 is on, open the Xbox App on the PC, push the "stream" button in the app, and you are good to go. I actually upgraded my router to improve the...

I love it. Seriously, probably one of my favorite features of the Xbox One. My situation is similar to yours, occasionally my wife watches TV shows that I don't really care about. When that happens, I just boot up the XB1 streaming and play whatever game I feel like. We can still be in the same...

I agree with a lot of the nominations so far, but haven't seen Deadpool get a nod yet. The gameplay was pretty generic for a third-person button masher title, but the humor was pretty brilliant, even if a little bit juvenile. I was so glad that I managed to grab my copy before it got pulled from...

I somehow missed this thread, but I should provide some help. You definitely don't need to have a deep understanding of philosophy to understand the game. I would say even casual gamers would be able to understand the concepts pretty well. The game presents philosophy beautifully. On one hand...

Just to make a counterpoint (not saying your opinion is wrong), but Portal 2 (the closest comparison to TTP) original sold for $50 and takes about half as long to complete. One could argue that co-op offers more replayability, which is a fair point. According to howlongtobeat, it takes about 15...

Yes, it is PC (available for Windows, Linus, and Mac) right now. Though the developer has confirmed a PS4 version will be released the first half of next year. Regarding the price, I can personally attest that the game will take 15-20 hours to beat the first time, depending on your puzzle...

Yes, play them both. But definitely start with Black Flag. Black Flag is a close contender to being one of my favorite AC games. Sailing the open seas, listening to sea shanties, and exploring islands for treasure is just an amazing experience. Taking down the Legendary ships was probably one of...

It was a pretty disappointing sale for me this year. I don't think it had so much to do with it being a poor sale, just that I've already bought most games that interested me in previous sales. Not to mention that I've managed to be better at impulse purchases :P For one reason or another, I was...

Mine is more for nostalgia reasons, but Ugh Zhan III from Serious Sam. Played the game right at release, so I had no hints about the final boss. So there is the epic courtyard battle beforehand, where you are killing hundreds of minions. Then the cutscene comes on and you hear a distant roar...

I used to looove Mighty Max toys. Basically they were monster faces that opened up to reveal a miniature dungeon with mini-figs and traps.

This is a much better idea. I can't even begin to put a number on the extra costs for the extra durable glass and the associated energy loss through that medium. Why try to reinvent the wheel of solar panel manufacturing when there is already a well established manufacturing process that has...

Since I am actually a registered roadway engineer by trade, I have quite a bit of skepticism about this. To me this all sounds like a wonderful pipe dream, but could never fulfill its promises. I have three main issues with this. Number 1: Longevity. You know, it's great that they've done all...

Wow, I'm really surprised no one has said my absolutely number one pick, No One Lives Forever. This game is the one that really got me into PC gaming. Before that I was mostly a console boy. Amazing storytelling, even if predictable, in an amazing world with a wide variety of interesting...

There is definitely truth to that. If you are expecting a pet that will become attached to you and show affection, then a reptile is not the pet for you. There is "simulated" affection that you can pass off on being genuine, but in reality reptiles are pretty independent creatures. Two examples...
