BC Deals for the Week of January 10th, 2017
Welp, I finished the Title Update portion of Gems of War this morning, so again that only leaves level 100 to go. I’m at level 88, but at least I can focus solely on leveling and not accumulating piles and piles of glory. By the way, if you are missing the Mythic achievement, you can get it this week with 2700 Glory at the shop (look for Spooky Imp). It also nets you a crapload of gold which you can then turn into whatever you want over at your guild (I run my own guild because I’m not competitive enough to fit into one of these “You must earn a certain amount of seals or glory every week” guilds).
Also, got through the Plants storyline in PvsZ GW 2 finally. Those last two quests were a bear to get through. I do admit that I’m starting to get bored of the game, but I still have achievements to go for now. Anyway, that long winded intro was just an excuse to cover up for the fact that this week isn’t a whole heck of a lot when it comes to deals. Well maybe if you like Rock Band (X1) or the Tropico series (X360), it’s a good week. But nothing for BC. I really hope we get a few BC announcements this week. It’s been very quiet and this kind of stuff barely gets me up in the morning. Enjoy.
BC Deals with Gold for the Week of January 3rd, 2017
It’s a new year and with that we get sales a plenty. Errr, or sales a few? Yeah, that will work. I spent most of my weekend playing either Gems of War (level 85 and trying to save up enough Glory for the Mythic achievement) or Plants vs Zombies GW 2 (getting frustrated at the last set of Plant quests which are much tougher IMHO than the Zombie quests which I flew thru). Oh, and I did finish the third episode of Batman: Telltale series. That cliffhanger of the third episode was certainly a spin on the Batman mythos for sure. Good stuff. Anyway, here is your lone BC deal for this set of sales. After buying Dear Esther for X1 and Crystal Defenders for X360, I will probably sit out any sales for this week. However, I will admit Sword Coast Legends for X1 is awfully tempting. Also, if you haven’t downloaded The Cave for X360 or Deathtrap for the X1 as part of Games with Gold, they are now both available. Enjoy kids.

BC Countdown Deals starting December 29th, 2016
I probably could have posted this a bit sooner, but alas I was catching up with an old friend who I hadn’t seen in probably 4 or 5 years. And that point, we weren’t talking to each other so this was a great opportunity to spend time with him and get back some time lost. Time certainly well spent. Anyway, nothing much going on, except these new pack of deals so to speak. If the previous deals on the 22nd didn’t sway you, then these could be the ticket, well maybe :). I do admit that Catherine & Crystal Defenders are awful tempting. The only problem is I don’t think I’ll enjoy either all that much after the first hour or so. Here they are, enjoy!

BC Deals for the Week of December 27th, 2016
Hi folks, back from Christmas vacation…well actually still on a day off until tomorrow from work. Oddly enough, we do have some sales this week, but not too much of consequence. I had a good Christmas even if much of it I was sick with some nose and throat issues. As far as games received during the holiday, I got the Skyrim Remaster and XCom2. I got some gift cards as well, some of which may turn into Xbox Live cards. Anyway, here are the sales, or rather DeBlob which is at a very cheap price. I do have to think Destroy All Humans will hit BC soon enough, the Snipers possibly too. Enjoy your time off, family, and whatever these holidays were kind enough to bring you.

BC Countdown Deals Starting December 22nd, 2016
Alrighty, so I actually saw these yesterday in storeparser.com, but wanted to wait for an official announcement because 1)it’s easier to copy and paste from the major as opposed to that site and 2)in case they added something which certainly happens. At least I’m honest. There is some good stuff in here, personally I’m eyeing Contrast for the X1, possibly the Walking Dead Telltale Mini-series, also for X1 and then perhaps something out of the cheap 360 pool like Escape from Dead Island or Shred Nebula. But it’s not as good as I hoped, that’s for sure. But certainly plenty to mull over and there are supposed to be daily deals. Though honestly, I’m sure they will all be related to the X1 and not 360 BC. Enjoy.

Games with Gold for the month of January 2016
And here I thought we wouldn’t get anymore announcements until a couple of days from now for this epic sale going on. We get the announcement of Games with Gold for January, and honestly it is an excellent one. I have been eyeing the Cave ever since they made the BC announcement and Rayman Origins despite owning on disc, I can always go for that extra digital copy. On the X1 side, we get the tower defense game from the same developers who made the Van Helsing games along with Season 2 (we got Season 1 a while back as well) of Killer Instinct. I don’t really see a weak game in the bunch (unless Van Helsing turns out to be a dud). Enjoy.
Xbox One
January 1st – January 31st
- World of Van Helsing: Deathtrap
January 16th – February 15th
- Killer Instinct Season 2: Ultra Edition
Xbox 360
January 1st – January 15th
- The Cave
January 16th – January 31st
- Rayman Origins
BC Deals with Gold for the week of December 20th, 2016
The week of Christmas it is. A magical place. A time of the year when Daddy’s around the world get to pull down their…wife’s ornaments from the attic and possibly break their ankles and legs. But enough about me, we have sales to worry about or do we? Well, actually that answer is very unfortunately no. No BC Sales. Now, there are supposed to be BC sales come December 22nd when they start doing their end of the year celebration. If I was to recommend anything out of this sale that might go BC in the future, I would lean towards Remember Me or possibly Street Fighter X Tekken. The rest probably are not going to happen. Anyway, that’s that for now, enjoy.
Bully: Scholarship Edition, Catherine, Planets Under Attack, Raskulls, Skydive: Proximity Flight & Clannad (Japan Only) added to Backwards Compatibility!!!!!!
Now that my friends, is a mouthful. This also represents the last of the 2016 games that will be released for backwards compatibility. Here are the three announcements:
These certainly range from the eagerly anticipated (Bully) to the interesting (Planets Under Attack) to the bizarre (Catherine, Clannad). I’m not sure if I own a digital copy of Bully but I know for certain I have it on disc. Raskulls I also own and loved it when I first got it…but at least for me when I got to a certain point, I just flat out didn’t want to play it anymore (it gets REALLY hard). I know a lot of people will be happy about Catherine, but it’s honestly not my bag. Still there is a lot here, and the last announcement of 2016 in regards to newly released games delivers. Enjoy kids.
- Bully: Scholarship Edition $14.99 (available for a little cheaper on disc but XBLive sales are common for this one)
- Catherine $19.99 (available for a little cheaper on disc)
- Clannad (Japan Only) – 4104 ¥ (and should be available on disc as well)
- Planets Under Attack $14.99
- Raskulls $9.99
- Skydive: Proximity Flight $6.99
Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey now available for Digital Download, Lost Odyssey is free for the Rest of the Year!!
As many of you probably heard about, Lost Odyssey was free to download for about an hour or two a couple of weeks ago. It was a glitch at the time, but it was a sign of things to come. Well today is that day as Major Announced early this afternoon. In addition, Blue Dragon can also be downloaded digitally now, but at the price of $19.99. Links provided below, grab Lost Odyssey while you can, enjoy.
Bioshock, Bioshock 2, and Bioshock Infinite added to Backwards Compatibility!!!
I admit, I had my doubts, especially after the Bioshock collection got announced for Xbox One. But the team came through and even before Christmas day. They are three fantastic games, and personally if you have never played these three, I would either get the Rapture Edition which includes Bioshock 1 and 2 and all of the DLC along with the complete edition of Bioshock Infinite (which of course has its own DLC). That will run you about $35 to $40. Or you can just purchase the Bioshock Collection for Xbox One which is also around $35 to $40, your choice. Now obviously, if you don’t care about DLC…you can probably get each title for about $5-$10 each in disc form. Of course, there are digital options and they are listed below but a wee bit overpriced in my opinion. Enjoy.
- Bioshock $19.99
- DLC w/Achievements: Ryan Industries Plasmids and Gene Tonics (FREE!)
- Bioshock 2 $19.99
- DLC w/Achievements: Rapture Metro ($9.99)
- DLC w/Achievements: Protector Trials ($4.99)
- DLC w/Achievements: Minerva’s Den ($9.99)
- Free DLC (no Achievements): Kill ’em Kindly (turn all blunt objects into golf clubs)
- Bioshock Infinite $29.99
- DLC w/Achievements: Clash in the Clouds $4.99
- DLC w/Achievements: Burial at Sea Episode 1 $14.99
- DLC w/Achievements: Burial at Sea Episode 2 $14.99 Part 1 / Part 2 (Note: Part 2 is free, but you’ll need Part 1 to play it)
- OR purchase the Season Pass for Bioshock Infinite at $19.99 to get all of the DLC.
