Deadlight

Never have I loved and hated a game so much at the same time.  I'm all alone. Searching for my family. Fighting shadows (zombies). This side scrolling survivor/ horror game was awesome.

You play as Randall Wayne in 80s Seattle. You were a park ranger before the zombie apocalypse. Gameplay was sluggish. Being able to only go left to right was ok.  You can't get lost or caught up like in an open  world game.

At the beginning you are separated from your friends. You meet up with various people as you go and there are tons of lootables. You really have to pay attention to to when you need to perform actions (jumping etc) and I can't say it enough..check your environment.  It's a good game. There is an alternate ending, which I liked better, that you get by playing in nightmare mode.

The biggest thing to re ember in this game is check your environment and go in every structure that you can. The mini games kind of suck but they are a great throwback. 

Rating 6/10

I really like it but some things need improvement. Its hard to get into the game without giving it away totally. . But the rat king alone is worth it.  It's 14.99 on Xbox, but occasionally offered free.  

Don't miss these free with gold games

Two games are currently free with gold on Xbox. The first is Charlie Murder.

This indie game is usually $10.... there are 5 characters,  all playable,  all here to save the world. You battle little demons raised by a former band member. Get fans and stuff. Fight through zombies, witches, ninjas and rats. You'll move through several areas. Is not too bad.

The next free game..Super Street Fighter 4..arcade edition

 I'd grab this. . Is usually 29.99. And it's a good fighter. Lots of reply value.

Not much to say here.  Get a character. . There's like 40...and fight. Rinse and repeat. I LOVE this game.  Tons of fun.  Find your favorite finisher.
