Free controller Xb one bundle is now done. They are now onto NBA2k15 + 3 months of Live as a freebees. I don;t think the value is quite there. Certainly doesn't compare to the Wolfenstein + free controller deal that started it all off. But it should keep Xb one up there. I don't think Amazon can afford to go back to the basic AC bundle. Xb one sales would drop steeply without the extra freebees now. You train people to expect extras and a very good value basic AC bundle in its own right looks severely lacking.

But they've done it with PS4 too, 3 games for free. If they go back to just the TLOUR basic bundle PS4 sales will drop away sharply. Fortunately for Sony all 3 games are 1st party, so there's no cost to a third party. PS4 may not have any great new gen 1st party exclusives, but at least they have 2 good 1st party games and one fantastic last gen remaster they can give away.

I disagree with you. Infamous: Second Son is a great game and Killzone: Shadow Fall is a bad game. So neither of your statements is true really.

Bloodborne is in effect in the top 20 now, with the Std edition at 22 and the CE at 26. Great stuff. the Std edition should break into the top 20 outright pretty soon.

Perhaps when considered in isolation. But compared to inFamous 1 and 2 it is merely a good game. I have no personal experience of KZ:SF and as I dislike fps no doubt I would probably regard it as bad. But plenty of fps fans like KZ SF well enough.

I liked Infamous: Second Son far more than the first two. It has so much more variety in gameplay, and isa much more intense game. Story and content are the only thing its lacking I guess, but it makes up for that with the gameplay variety and fun. I thought Infamous was a bad game and 2 was average. But I think Second Son is awesome.

I've played KZ: SF too, not finished it, but played it for an hour. It left a bad taste in my mouth, really its the worst KZ game I've played.

Reading the review for the Xbox One NBA 2k15 I loled:
"I wasn't a big fan of 2K, as the severs were even worse than Battlefield 4's launch and the community was trash, but hey, free is free."

I am happy to see BF Hardline failing hard after the disastrous launch of BF4. The game still being patched almost a year and half post launch.

Thats not cool at all. The devs for this game are being punished for the crap BF4 devs did? Thats like you brother missing curfew then you being grounded for it whie hes still good to go.

PS4 Type-0 is standing strong at #4. XB1 Type-0 is #101. PS4 MGSV: TPP is falling (now #74), though that is to be expected for game that won't be out for quite a while.

I've played both. Really liked Infamous first time with the series and it was really great felt like a real super hero. KFSF I also liked. I forced myself to play and at the end of chapter 3 the story got interesting and I got pulled in enough to want to finish. The ending was also very twisted and not expected in a game like this I enjoyed the twist.
