CVG: It may be a total throwback to a 15-year-old Super Nintendo game, but Shadow Complex is one of XBLA's biggest, fully-fledged titles. It looks the part, puts a modern 3D twist on an intuitive 2D gameplay mechanic and throws you more big explosive guns and giant bosses than a Contra game.
If this, and Trails HD, are a sign of things to come from Xbox Live Arcade, we can't wait to see what else MS has cooking in its cauldron of downloadable treats. And for Super Metroid fans (which should be all of you), it's the sequel you've wanted Nintendo to cough up all these years.

Although the Xbox has less exclusives than other platforms, it has some absolute gems. Read to find out what the 10 best Xbox Exclusives of all time are!

Neil writes "It’s Tuesday again and that can only mean one thing – it’s time for another Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale. What bargains will be in place on Xbox One and Xbox 360 between the 3rd-9th May 2016?
There are a whole ton of them and surely this is the week for you to crack open the wallet?"
Quite a big sale but not entirely convinced all are decent deals. Glad to see the 360 gets a few more offers this week. I wish Screamride was on sale by itself!
Gears Ultimate Day 1 Edition? I can understand picking up day 1 physical editions at later dates, that were stuck in the retail channel for whatever reason. Late "day 1" digital sales make no sense at all though.
This is the 5th or 6th time they've had Battlefront on "sale" in the last few months
Still overpriced imo
Good score.I might get it
