Fast, hectic, and loads of fun, this game is by far the best that ID@Xbox has offered up so far. The concept behind the game, asking the internet for help, and building the game from there is a stroke of genius. If you've got a smattering of followers on Twitch or Twitter the in-game "Hashbombs" add a whole new angle of social interaction never before seen in an Xbox game. Couple that with the fact that, as of this writing, it's absolutely FREE, there is very little that this game leaves to desire.

Just finished Valiant Hearts: The Great War on the Xbox 360 (it's also on Xbox One, PS3, PS4, PC, and the App Store). It's a story-driven 2D side scroller set in World War 1. You play as 4 distinctly different characters, all who have their own stories, motives, and reasons for doing what they do, but all 4 stories are intertwined. I actually learned A LOT about WWI throughout the course of this game. There are a number of diary entires, artifacts, and facts you can read (All provided by Apocalypse: World War I on the History Channel). And while the story is solid, the puzzles are simple yet intuitive, and give a real sense of accomplishment when you find a solution to a problem. If nothing else, the soundtrack alone is reason enough to buy this game. The the rug in The Big Lebowski, it just ties it all together. When it's all said and done, I give it an 8 out of 10.
