Summer Spotlight vs. Summer of Arcade

I loved Summer of Arcade. It made me look at games that I may not have tried otherwise. Summer Spotlight is said to envelop the "spirit" of Summer of Arcade while involving all types of games, not just arcade games. I miss Summer of Arcade and I don't see
why they couldn't do both. Summer of Arcade seemed to take place when summer was nearly over. Summer Spotlight could (and should) happen much earlier, leaving time to also have Summer of Arcade. My fear is that Summer Spotlight wont actually involve good deals
on games, but instead just consist of MS marketing games to us at full price. Which would you rather have? One or the other or both?

 

Xbox Live Summer Spotlight

During the summer spotlight sale I purchased Cup Head and Life is Strange Before the Storm Deluxe Edition. This was all $45 before tax, therefore qualifying me for the credits back in the Summer Spotlight promotion. However, the website has not reflected
my Before The Storm purchase, even though it has been over 96 hours. Thank you for your time and help.

 

Only Rare Replay for me. Mainly for Conkers bad Fur day but the other games are quite fun and entertaining.

 

Got kings quest and wasnt dissapointed. Bought brothers back on 360 and really enjoyed it. Having each brothers controls locked to seperate sticks really makes you concentrate and make it a special experience.

 

On that list I only dl'd Magic but I did buy Life is Strange ep 1 on sale. I like Magic but haven't played the other game yet. I'm still having fun with the GWG game Storm Warning.

 

So many good things on that list and so many not-so-good things on that list, IMO, Goth...

Okay, here's my list of games, from that list, that I picked up:

Mega Man Legacy Collection

Smite

Pure Hold'em

Rare Replay

World of Tanks

Magic Duels: Origins

 

World of tanks. Also was in the Smite beta but was to busy to play it.

 

Just Pure Hold'em for me. Obviously it's the only poker game available on the X1 so it was a must buy for me (and means I can finally stop playing Full House Poker on 360). I think it's too expensive @ £15.99, especially as they seem to have gone down the
microtransactions route. Also the fact there are no avatars, the camera angle is difficult to get to grips with, and I can very rarely finish a tournament (constantly get booted half way through a tournament meaning I lose all my chips!) so overall I'm quite
disappointed (even more so because I really love Pure Pool!).

 

I miss Full House Poker on the 360 and would love for them to bring a sequel to that series on the One.

 

I got none of those lol.

Xbox 1 games I have:

^Screamride. ^Minecraft. ^Forza Horizon 2. ^Forza 5. ^Zoo Tycoon. ^Powerstar Golf. ^BF4. ^COD Ghosts. ^The Elder Scrolls Online. ^Kinect Sports Rivals. ^Project Spark. ^Halo MCC. ^ COD Advanced Warfare ^ Monopoly Plus. ^ Life is strange. ^Riptide GP2. ^Pool
Nation FX. ^Pneuma Breath of life. ^ Plants vs zombies garden warfare.

I'm thinking about getting Halo 5, Solid Metal V Phantom Pain, Star Wars Battlefront, and ReCore. I saw the extensive list of Xbox 1 games list on Wikipedia. I've tried about 32 Xbox 360 games and 22 Xbox 1 games. The Squid Hero for Kinect sounds interesting,
I don't know what that is, it just has the word "kinect", yes I have Xbox 1 Kinect. Oh and for you American's, it's the first month of Spring for Australia and New Zealand, yay, no more Winter. Our summer is December to February.

 

I got MMOre Goatz which is arguably MMOre stupid that the original goat sim which is actually better in that case lol

Rare Replay is amazing mostly because there are a lot of games I've never played and it's an amazing value.

Zombi is not bad. A bit creepy but I haven't played it a ton yet.

Toy Soldiers I got but haven't played yet. It's in my backlog currently.

 

I picked up Blues & Bullets which I enjoyed the first episode. Very noir-y. Also nabbed Whispering Willows which was pretty yuck and Beyond Eyes which was short, but pretty interesting.

I'd like to pick up King's Quest, but I think I may wait for a deal to come around.
