It's an excellent game! So fun and simple, yet so challenging!

I downloaded it yesterday. Was expecting to pay $19.99, but was surprised to see it was free.

I suck at it so far.
Yeah, my first couple days I was really bad. I started out doing the 1v1 because I felt bad for screwing up my teammates all the time. I definitely recommend doing the training things, I don't really bother with the Aerial stuff.

My best strategy so far to allow me to at least be a contribution to the team is to avoid the assured destruction that is the faceoff/kickoff, and just kind of hang around the halfway line. Then, when it begins to make it's way to the center, begin to creep up, and when it is crossed in front of goal, hit the boost, and go flying at the goal and try to get some contract on it. LOL
I've finally got my 3v3 rating above 500

I'm not a huge racing game guy myself, but when I got the XBone H2 and 5 were two of the first purchases I made and I'm still playing them 10 months later. Very entertaining, incredibly good looking, and just plain fun to play.

This game has been around for a bit, but I just found it. For those of you who loved SimCity back in the day... a game called Cities: Skylines is out now, and I must say... it is better than SimCity. Lots of fun so far.

I do like Driveclub's multiplayer, not enough to buy the full version, but it's pretty cool

Yep, can't remember who but someone else brought it up earlier...been playing that since day one. The modding community is excellent and overall a much smoother game than any SimCity with better overall maps. Only problem I've seen is the traffic logic seems wonky as all hell.

That's a fun game, I pretty much hang back and play goalie. Although on the faceoff I try to get there first, most of my goals are from doing that, I just bloop it over the heads. if I don't score I just run back and play D.

Another free one ya'll might want to look into is AirMech Arena

For all you guys who are interested in No Man's Sky, IGN did a full month series on the game and just updated their site with all the final videos, definitely some good info in there.

Good thing they are supposedly implementing their "Vote to Play" system in September...but yes, this month is lacking, especially after the last three months had some seriously good games on there

1. Life is Strange
2. Apotheon
3. The Swapper
4. Strider (even though it's originally from the late 80's I believe)
5. Shovel Knight
