Outside Xbox: "The Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare achievement "Never Saw It Coming" is awarded for boost jumping, dashing forward in the air, then ground slamming an enemy unto death. On a normal day, it's worth 15G. On the sixth day of the Oxbox Xmas Challenge, it's worth one golden Christmas point."

AttackOfTheFanboy writes:"Unlike many other shooter franchises, a new main series Halo game comes along quite rarely. Over the last 13 years there have only been five or six, depending on how you count a few of the side stories. So, the release of Halo 5: Guardians comes with a lot of anticipation, and a lot of worry. Worry, because Halo 4, which was the first for new series developer 343 Interactive, was somewhat of a multiplayer disappointment; offering too much change from the arena-style shooter that the series was founded on. Anticipation, becaus 343 seems to have recognized their mistakes and even rectified many in updates to Halo 4 and the admittedly problematic release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection."

Eurogamer: "Castlevania is a series with heritage. Since its introduction in 1986 it's rarely skipped a year, with 40 released titles spanning consoles, PC's and arcades. Over nearly 30 years, the backbone remains the same. The plot is an eternal repetition of the need for the Belmont clan (and occasional affiliates) to destroy Dracula who, against all odds, keeps getting resurrected in all manner of bizarre circumstances. Features and details may change, or occasionally be absent, but they're indelible parts of the series, always remembered, always returning. Perhaps Castlevania's most polished and revered trait is its music. Stylistically phenomenal from the very beginning, nearly every title in the 28 year history is an aural delight. When Konami released an 18 CD soundtrack set in 2010, it didn't even have room for every great piece that's graced the series. Behind these iconic tracks is the work of some talented composers. "
