Ryse was a pretty good game...Soul Suspect was not as good. I'd suggest a red box rental or something.

I bought Soul Suspect and hope it is entertaining. Ryse seems decent for 30$ but I am stubbornly holding out for it to be a Games With Gold title.

Titanfall season pass is currently Free. Kicking myself for not buying the game when it was on sale for $6...

They can't give away Titanfall fast enough I guess.

I got Ryse as a freebie, after 15 minutes I decided it wasn't worth the valuable disk space.

Damn Dragon Age borked my console and forced multiple cold reboots before I got the thing working again.

But I finally got to play (six-hour limit, which I hope didn't start with the whole EA-sign-in process that crashed me in the first place) and liked it. I don't do much RPG so some things threw me off like controlling multiple characters in battle. My guess is that once my trial is over, I won't feel compelled to buy it, though.

You might be surprised. I have found the game to be super engaging. As for battles though, I don't manage the other characters. I let them do their thing and control mine. I found the game to be a little more fun that way and action-oriented rather than continually pausing.

Battlefield Hardline is now up on EA Access for a more-generous 10 hour trial in advance of release date.

Get ready to download and wait a while to play it. It took nearly eight hours to download and install the game last night... and I have a 150Mbps connection.

I thought you could download remotely using the Smartglass app on the phone, but I'm not finding a way to do it right now.

I don't think it works when EA Access trials are involved. I think those have to be done on the console.

Surely we can finish the single player campaign in 10 hours, yes? I mean, that's all I care about with shooters. Are they hoping their multiplayer is suddenly insanely fun?

Battlefield doesn't sell based on its single player campaign.

Also, Octodad is coming to XB1 this summer.

Is there a single player campaign in Hardline?

Bad Company did. No reason they can't make a compelling campaign, except for laziness/greed I guess.

Wow.. your connection must have sucked.

I am downloading it in about 1/2 that time and my e-penis only goes to 25Mbps

Hell yes!

Los Angeles is embroiled in a drug war and officer Nick Mendoza has just made detective. Alongside his partner, veteran detective Khai Minh Dao, he follows the drug supply chain from the streets to the source. In a series of increasingly off-the-books cases the two detectives come to realize that power and corruption can affect both sides of the law.

Adam's comments are exactly how I feel. The game is fun, deaths don't feel cheap, the self-made save points are an awesome addition. I, too, haven't reached an "escape" sequence yet, so I'm worried.
I will say, though, the "beginning" of the game felt SO DAMN LONG. I get the purpose, but it could/should have been shortened a wee bit.

I, too, only have a 25Mbps e-peen, and I was at 51% after 2 hours.

So Sling is available, but it appears to be broken. Keep getting an initialization error.
