I'm a serial game starter and not finisher so currently on the go is:

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered

On the back burner because of Tomb Raider:

Far Cry 6
Forza Horizon 5
Forza Motorsport
GoldenEye
Titanfall 2
Resident Evil
The Outer Worlds
Banjo Kazooie
Fallout New Vegas
Fallout 4
Doom Eternal
Assassins Creed
Mirrors Edge Catalyst
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Toejam & Earl: Back in the Groove
Final Fantasy VII
Outlast
Borderlands 2

Youv'e reminded me I never finished the campaign in Titanfall 2. That was such a good game, the multiplayer part at least. I can't help but think if it ever gets another one it'll be ruined by a live service model etc

Ah, a man of taste. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of anyone else playing Mirrors Edge apart from myself. Really loved the sequel.

After watching the Borderlands film trailer, a friend and I are going back and have started from the very 1st Borderlands and working through the entire Bordlerlands catalogue (already have them all and have done this twice before). Hands down one of the best games I have ever played (I am nearly 50...).

Anyone playing Dead Island 2?
Spent a few hours on this now, not too shabby.

[ajprice]

Wobbly Life for a bit of silliness inbetween racing cars around and around. It's a Sims type game doing jobs and mini games, getting money, buying houses, but with a Human Fall Flat/Gang Beasts type character.

No mention of any golf games yet....

I've had a fair few versions of PGA over the years, first one being PGA Tour 3 for the Mega drive, latest being TW 9 or 10 for the PS3.

Got my eye on Rory McIlroy and 2k21, has the game moved on since HB took over?

Anyone played either/both?

What's the online like, etc?

Links 2004 for me has been the best Xbox golf game

[DrEMa]

for me forza motorsport, high on life plus a bit of far cry 5 and it takes two.

Mad but since I bought a Steamdeck I’ve not used my Series X in months it’s just gathering dust :-(

I can’t bring myself to sell it though I’ve had a ‘video game system’ since about 1975

[Legend83]

Annoyingly just as I signed up to another month of Gamepass a) my boys have become obsessed with some online Roblox type game so not currently interested in Xbox; b) work has ramped up so have less time currently; and c) we are not renewing Disney+ so frantically trying to binge Shogun!

Not enough hours in the day for AC:Valhalla!

Has anyone found a decent Rally game for the Xbox Series X?

I've downloaded WRC10 but i don't think i'm overly keen on it so far so doubt i'll stick with it, i'm not really looking for a hardcore simulator more an arcade style game, I still look back on the days of Sega Rally on my Saturn with great fondness but i've tried playing the Xbox 360 version and it doesn't really stand up to modern scrutiny.

Maybe I should look for a rally add on for Forza because I enjoy playing that but I mainly play it just to do the Nurburgring at the moment

I just upgraded to a Series X; I usually only have 1 game on the go at any 1 time but I've indulged a little:

1) Generation Zero - still playing this several years on and find it the perfect way to mindlessly run around, gunning down robots and just chilling.

2) CP2077 - one of the main reasons for the Series X; downloaded it last weekend and played an hour or so but have been too busy to go back and really get into it - will probably do that this weekend.

3) Return to Monkey Island - again downloaded from GP when I upgraded and I've only played the first 30 minutes or so. I love the series so looking forward to going back to it.

4) Metro Exodus - had downloaded it a few months ago but haven't got around to even firing it up yet.

5) The Expanse Telltale game - played through it on release and really want to go back and replay it with some different choices

And I also have the latest season of Snow Runner on the go on the PS4.

Finally got around to starting Metro Exodus last weekend and really enjoying it. I've always loved the Metro games - fantastic setting/concept and really good gameplay; this changes the formula a little by making some maps more open world, and all the better for it (not sure a third game set in some underground tunnels would have been as good). Kind of reminds me when Gears of War 4 & 5 branched out and evolved away from the original trilogy by going more open world.

I'm really enjoing EA WRC, but it's not paticularly arcadey, I play with a wheel and pedals.

Maybe Dirt 5, that's fairly arcadey, especially compared to the rest of the Dirt series.

Thanks for that, I have downloaded one of the Dirt games from game pass but haven't tried it yet so i'll give that a go tonight and see how I get on

[RemaL]

Battlefield 2042 at the moment. Forza, F1 23. Anything that takes my fancy on game pass at the moment which is not much. And dead island 2

Same! I bought it for £1 from the charity shop then promptly gave it back for free when it didn't work on the Series X...

I did the same with Rallysport Challenge 2 that I found in a Cash Converters... PGR4 is one of the best racing games. Honestly I think the 360 had such a good games library. I have a series X now, I ditched gamepass after I got bored of Starfield (but 7 days and 5hrs! So pretty good run!) So playing Forza 6 which I have on disc and want to finish (alongside Project Cars 2 on my PC with the wheel) before I pick up the new Forza (again).
