    <p>Ugh. I guess we can't expect anything good anymore from GWG, with them putting all the good stuff in GamePass.</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#471111">In reply to Hypnotoad:</a></em></blockquote><p>I switched my gold to the unlimited pass back in June when it was only a dollar or so. at this point, while I "buy" the games, I don't even care, all now simply suck. but at least I have access to the ones from the ultimate pass</p>

    <p>Disney's Bolt was one of my top-10 favorite Xbox 360 games, highly recommend it. There is a bug that if you attack an enemy when they are near a ladder it can crash the game but other than that it's a solid platformer.</p>

    <p>Who doesn't want to be a Badass Elephant? I'm actually playing the old Xbox Ninja Gaiden thanks to backwards compat and Game Pass Ultimate, so I think I'd probably enjoy Ninja Gaiden 3! </p>
