Where are you able to rent games this day and age? All the rental stores near me closed.

There are two game rental options here in the US, Gamefly, which is a by mail service, kind of like Netflix's by mail DVD/Blu-ray service, $16 a month for 1 game at a time, $23 a month for 2 games at a time. The other option is Redbox, which are DVD/Blu-Ray/Video Game rental kiosks you can find outside of gas stations, grocery stores, retails stores, etc. here in the US, where you can rent Games for $3 a night. 

Ah, I've heard of both of them, and I've used Redbox while visiting my aunt and uncle in Detroit, but I never see Redbox machines here. Never used Gamefly before though.



Around the Network

Games i'm 100% buying

Cupheads

Destiny 2

PUBG

Battlefront 2

FIFA 18

CoD WW2

Games i might buy

Super Luckys Tale

NBA Live 18

AC Origins



I buy multiplats on PS4, so I'm not sure what I'll actually end up buying on XB1 this year. Probably older titles more than new titles.





If everything in my life goes as planned I might spend my money on some new guitar stuff and play less Xbox but games I'll definitely buy are South Park and Shadow of War. Then most likely Forza, AC and Super Lucky. And PUGB just to see what all this fuzz is about.

Just played the first episode of Life is Strange: Before the Storm. Loved it.

Keyboard and mouse support is very welcome.

I have no problem playing RTS games with a controller though. Makes AoE ports more likely. A new Civilization or Anno would be great too. But I guess Microsoft would still require them to be able to play on a controller as well.

Also liking the resolution/FPS options. Native 4k 30FPS is great, but 1600p 60FPS might be better for some games. I hope many games let you choose between them.



Road Rage looks promising.



Pretty neat commercial! 



Ah just got my Halo 5: Guardians gamerscore over 1000 :P And here's my August gaming summary:

ReCore - 19 achievements / 380G

Pneuma: Breath of Life - 11 achievements / 1000G

Titanfall 2 - 45 achievements / 775G

Forza Horizon 3 - 8 achievements / 375G

Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 - 6 achievements / 95G

Halo Wars 2 - 3 achievements - 30G

Life is Strage: Before the Storm - 5 achievements / 50G

Halo: Master Chief Collection - 1 achievement / 20G

 = total of 2725G 

Should probably try to complete Titanfall 2 but that one gauntlet achievement is damn hard and while the campaign was good I don't feel like playing it again. It was kind a like Battlefield and CoD campaigns, ok gameplay and decent story but still a bit meh. 



Those wireless headsets are pretty expensive. Will wait for the prices to come down.
