October's 2015 Games With Gold

Well the disappointing Games with Gold have been announced.

For the Xbox One, it is Valiant Hearts and later The Walking Dead Season 1
Xbox 360: Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and later The Walking Dead Season 1

Why are they so disappointing to me?  Repeats.  In my mind, if something has been released as a Game With Gold (GWG) on one platform, it should not be released as a GWG on the other (though contractually it is probably easier for MSFT).  This has happened twice so far and will happen 2X next month: Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and The Walking Dead Season 1.

Xbox One Games on My Hard Drive as of September 24, 2015

Are you ready for a list post (since everyone loves those unless they don't).  This is what is currently on my Xbox One as of September 24, 2015 (like the nice title says). i've broken them down into categories.  i'm sure Blogger will mess up any formatting i attempt, yet again. Oh well, here goes....

Lunar: Eternal Blue on Japanese PSN?

Ok, so this is an out of character post... i was browsing NeoGaf as i sometimes do and came upon a post that said that Lunar: Eternal Blue was spotted on the Japanese PSN (or something like that, it probably isn't up for purchase).

Lunar: Eternal Blue is one of my favorite games of all time.  If the PS1 version of this game makes it to the US PlayStation Network i may end up buying a PS3 - assuming i can find a new one in a store (and they actually go for less than $200). They don't have PS1 classics on the PS4, right?

i'm far more interested in the PS1 classics than new titles anyway (and the PS1 i used at "home" is developing severe display problems).  The PS1 generation was my favorite for RPGs (after the PS1, i went to the Xbox side).
