BC Games with Gold for the Week of September 11th, 2018

Hope everybody enjoyed my review of Elea – Episode One.  It was a lot of fun to play and review that.  I’ve actually beat the game twice now and have all but two achievements.  I’m in the top 10 @ TrueAchievements mostly because only one person has actually 100% ed it.  The last two are difficult though.  One involves sitting on everything you can throughout the entire game, the other involves completing all of the optional interactions in the spaceship chapter.  The later is difficult because after a certain point, everything closes down in that chapter because it is gearing you for the end of the game.  So, somehow I have to complete all of the extra stuff before that happens.  We’ll see I guess.

So, we have a bunch of sales this week. A lot of Assassin’s Creed, a lot of Battlefield, a lot of Tom Clancy.  However, hidden among all of that are some standout discounting like ArcaniA (and its DLC) along with Black Knight Sword.  Honestly, I doubt these would become backwards compatible (though I would happily be wrong in that case) but at that price it should be still worth your money.

By the way, speaking of titles that have not gotten backwards compatibility, Kingdom of Amalur.  That game is now in the hands of Nordic (no longer EA).  Supposedly they would like to do a sequel, but I would guess now that they bought the rights to the title they would probably also do a remastering of the original.  So while not certain of course, this probably means no BC.  Unfortunate, but a lot of these smaller RPGs on the 360 get pushed aside and unfortunately forgotten.  Tis a sad fate for RPGs not named Skyrim, Dragon Age or Fallout on Xbox.  Enjoy the rest of your week kids.
