CCC: There isn't a whole lot of innovation in the rhythm game market. This is mostly because there is only so much you can do to innovate on a concept as simple as "press the button to the beat." That's not to say that certain games aren't trying though. For example, Retro/Grade, a new game by 24 Caret Games, combines the rhythm genre with space shooters and an interesting time-warping mechanic. To an extent, Retro/Grade really does breathe new life into the tired old rhythm game genre. However, it does so with novelty, and when this novelty wears off, you simply find yourself pressing buttons to the beat again.
It’s that time of the month again folks. The time where gamers collectively gather all over the internet to criticize what free games they get this month. So, who plundered the other’s fanboys for all their self-worth and gratification in life? Who was the victor in July? Let’s take a look.
Hmm, Warriors Orochi actually looks like something I'll enjoy. Hell, even WWE could be fun.
Warriors Orochi is awesome, Spelunky is great as well but a bit old, I bet the most people that care about that kind of games bought it already.
WWE is just a bit above mediocre and the stinker this month I think, personally I was happy that I could rent it a while ago for a weekend instead of buying it.
Yakuza 5 for PS3 is one of the best games on the system and I read that Rebel Galaxy might be great fun too. Seems it is a good month no matter which platform you prefer.
Yeah Yakuza 5 is as close to a PS4 game as you can get on the PS3. As for Rebel Galaxy, it has all the right ingredients for a great game, but it just comes up a little short in each department. Still a very solid pick up for free though.
Rebel Galaxy is a ton of fun. I've got it for PC but I'd like to have a free copy on xbox

I really believe this is the reason there is so much hate every month around the free games. Some fanboys cannot stand to lose any pointless internet console battle, ever.
Yeah people love to make competition out of anything they can. It's a classic human thing to do.
Pretty much.
Online play is why people pay for Gold and Plus anyway. People were paying for Gold before the free games. A lot more people started paying for Plus after Sony put online behind pay wall.
Most aren't going to stop their subscription just because the FREE games are 'bad.' I mean even if one is delivering significantly better games than the other, are people gonna put their money where their mouth is and stop paying their sub at the expense of online play in order to get better FREE games? Nope, just pointless arguing to make the other feel bad about the FREE games they are receiving.
The losers are people who pay for PS Plus and Xbox Live and don't even know they have free games to download each month -- like most of my friends :D.
I'd say about even, overall Xbox has been doing much better and ps plus has continued steady pace, I'd say both games with gold ps plus are about even in there monthly offerings noadays
VRFocus- Previously VRFocus has reported on virtual reality (VR) title Retrograde launching its Steam Greenlight campaign in the hopes it will get enough up-votes to become available on Valves digital sharing platform. In just 8 days the title achieved its Greenlight goals. The first person puzzle solving title is set to be compatible with the Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD).
VRFocus- Plenty of new virtual reality (VR) videogames reveal themselves each and every week through Valve's Steam Greenlight service. Not all of these titles support the likes of the Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD) straight away, put pledge to add compatibility later down the line. First-person puzzle experience Retrograde is one such title. Developed by a team based in Boston, Massachusetts, this intriguing new experience has recently launched its own Greenlight campaign in hopes of launching on Valve's full digital store in the future.
Been really enjoying this game so far. It's certainly challenging, and requires a lot of concentration, but it's an intriguing idea that plays surprisingly well!
