These Are Your August’s Games With Gold
Good news for Xbox Live Gold subscribers, as next month you are in for a treat with some fantastic games on offer as part of the Games With Gold program this August. For readers who aren’t aware of what this is, subscribers to Xbox Live’s Gold services get selected titles for free each month, similar to Playstation Plus. This month’s offerings are:
Betrayed, Broken , Forgotten… Korvo, Queen’s once personally trusted bodyguard is framed for treason, murder of his own Queen. A crime that he in no way partook on. However, a mysterious man calling himself the Outsider comes to his aid, mere hours before his public execution. He comes with a magical gift, one that levels the playing field by giving Korvo supernatural powers. Now it is up to you whether you become a saviour or the destroyer on your path for vengeance.
From Our Review:
The experience is clearly not one to miss and will easily be a strong contender for Game of the year. If you like Bioshock’s design, Deus Ex’s stealth and Assassin’s Creed’s exploration you will love this game.
Crimson Dragon
A fast paced, on rail shooter set in a fantastical world where you can join with up to three other players for online co-op battles using the dragon of your choice. It is said to be a spiritual successor to the fan favourite, Panzer Dragon, and features the same series composer, Saori Kobayashi himself who once again lends his talent to the game’s majestic world.
Strike Suit Zero: Director’s Cut
Taking place on a massive scale, Strike Suit Zero puts you as the pilot of the titular air combat vehicle, as you go through epic battles where it is up to you as to how you want to approach them. This game was crowd funded and one of the first to be on the ID@Xbox program.
From Our Review:
What it does show, is how close an indie developer can come to making a truly great old school experience, with such a tiny budget. As it stands, you may be able to look past the grievances I have with it, there are some good moments to be had here, and space combat junkies should definitely suit up.
Motocross Madness
Boasting hours of motor filled fun, Motocross Madness allows you to perform tricks, run through obstacle courses, or just motor around big maps and explore as you please. Furthermore, with seamless social media integration, you can challenge your friends, even when they’re off doing something else.
Lastly, remember that Crimson Dragon and Strike Suit Zero: Director’s Cut will replace July’s Xbox One Games with Gold titles Max: The Curse of Brotherhood and Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition, so be sure to grab them while you can!
