Major Nelson has revealed this weeks Deals with Gold and Spotlight deals for you to have a gander at. There’s a bit more variety across both Xbox One and Xbox 360 this week, as opposed to last week, especially on 360, which was solely focused on Tropico. There’s a range of genres too; storytelling, racing, action adventure and music based games. You’ll have access to these deals providing you have an Xbox Live Gold account.
This week’s RGM Recommendation is Rocksmith 2014. This was a toss-up between the Forza 5/Forza Horizon 2 bundle and Rocksmith but I had to give it to the music game. Given the time of year and the number of resolutions made, perhaps this was a good shout. Many people may choose to learn a new instrument and Rocksmith 2014 is perfect to help players learn guitar or bass. Providing you have an electric guitar/bass guitar you will learn loads. You will also need a Realtone cable to connect your guitar to the console. So it has some specifics to get you going but the skills it employs to help you learn an actual instrument is amazing. Before long you are playing along with some of your favorite guitar based songs and there is a real strong line up of songs included, not to mention the weekly updates to the DLC store.
Rocksmith 2014 – Remastered
The fastest way to learn guitar is now better than ever. Join over three million people who have learned to play guitar with the award-winning Rocksmith® method. Plug any real guitar or bass directly into your Xbox and you’ll learn to play in just 60 days.
