Looks like Microsoft released this list a little later than they normally would, but that’s okay. Here we have the next set of Games with Gold for November, 2017, and honestly, even I’ll admit, this is a pretty pathetic list. Let’s begin: On the Xbox one we have Trackmania Turbo and Tales from the Borderlands. […]
You wouldn’t think something like this would still be as confusing an issue as it is, but the seemingly simple idea of playing an Xbox 360 game on the Xbox One can be incredibly complex to some people. Indeed, in my work video game sales, I often get asked details on this, and when I […]
We’re coming up on another month, which means, yes, another set of games free with Xbox Live Gold. Wow, that reads like a paid advertisement if I’ve ever seen one. Let’s try this again – new month, new games, same old same old. I just really need to pad these out. Anyway, yeah, September games […]
We’re reaching the tail end of Summer, the month of August, and that means another stash of games to sit there and rot away on my Xbox One hard drive! Seriously, I need to get around to playing some of these games! Anyway, let’s get going. For the Xbox One, we got Slime Rancher and […]
Microsoft was super late on on getting out the video for July’s Games With Gold. Not just were they late on it, but they also seem to have been at quite a rush on this as the game selection seems lacking – almost as if Microsoft had gotten so wrapped up in E3 they had […]
A somewhat minor announcement from Microsoft yesterday that has me quite excited is that later in 2017 games from the original Xbox library will be playable on the Xbox One as an extension of backwards compatibility! The original Xbox had a relatively short life – from late 2001, till 2005 and the release of the […]
The Xbox Game Pass feature, which I wrote about a little while ago (see the article here)launches on June 1st, and in preparation for this, Microsoft just (as in, a few minutes before I began writing this article) published a quick video going over how to use the service, in very simple terms. As with […]
Time for the next months Games with Gold lineup, and this time we’re changing the article format a bit. Something I find interesting is that this time around, I’m seeing pretty positive feedback on the YouTube comments on this one, a rare treat to see people not complaining nonstop about the game selection. That’s a […]
A very Star Wars heavy game set for May, the Games With Gold program actually seems to be providing a damned fine set of games this month in comparison with previous months releases, many of which have been average at best. This time around we get 2 Star Wars games, and 2 others, which we […]
You know the drill, a new month, a new set of 4 games, 2 for the Xbox one, and 2 for the Xbox 360, free with your Xbox Live Gold subscription. They may not always be the best games, but they don’t cost you anything extra beyond the price of the service (hence the use […]
Microsoft wasted no time tossing out next months Games with Gold game list, and what a nice list of games it looks to be starting off January 2017. As always, these games may not be everyone’s cup of tea, so to speak, but it’s always worth trying out something new. Let’s jump right into it: […]
It’s the final month of the year, with all the holiday chaos to go along with it. Of course, a new month means more games with gold, and in this case we have what looks like an alright selection. Let’s take a look! Xbox One Sleeping Dogs Sleeping Dogs, an evolution on the 2000’s era […]
This months Games With Gold list is something else. Another 4 great games, for free, what’s not to love? Okay, the games range from titles that are probably alright to ones known to be absolutely awesome, and vary in genre, so your mileage may vary. They are, of course, free with an active Xbox Live […]
It’s about to be October, which means another month of free games with Xbox Live Games with Gold. Oddly, this assortment doesn’t look too spooky for what you would expect from free games in October but at least it does have the survival game “I am Alive” so, there’s that! Right, let’s get to the […]
Alright, here we go with the September Games with Gold lineup! This time we’re looking at one new release and one more recent release on the Xbox One, and on the Xbox 360 side, and early classic and a more modern racing powerhouse round out the mix. Xbox One Earthlock- Festival of Magic: Earthlock is […]
