Both are action strategy titles; Cold War takes place in the s and pits the U. Cold War reg. Microsoft announced Games with Gold at E3 , and it was originally slated to run through the end of the year. The company later turned the program into an " ongoing benefit " for Gold subscribers on Xbox , and said that Games with Gold will eventually come to Xbox One as well.

Continue the Darksiders storyline as Fury, one of the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as she carves her way through this hack n' slash adventure that takes inspirational cues from Dark Souls and The Legend of Zelda.
This action-platformer comes from Playtonic, a studio largely made up of ex-Rare employees who have injected their winning platforming formula for contemporary audiences. While it's certainly a little rough around the edges, Yooka-Laylee does a decent job of invoking platformers of old, full of quirky characters and some cleverly obscured adult humor thrown in for good measure.
The final entry in the Lost Planet series didn't quite hit the highs of the first game or its action-packed multiplayer-focused sequel, but Lost Planet 3 is still well worth playing if you want to experience one of the better examples from the third-person shooter boom of the Xbox generation.
This prequel entry greatly expands on the Lost Planet universe, and presents a surprisingly good narrative for its genre. Definitely worth playing if you're a fan of the first two games looking for some closure to the tragically abandoned series.
The final entry in the Fatal Fury series doesn't disappoint with awesome characters and unique battle mechanics that remain fresh to this day.
If you're a fan of sci-fi survival games like No Man's Sky, then Planet Alpha might well be worth a look for you. Deserted on a strange planet, you'll need to scavenge resources and fight off alien creatures if you've any hope of surviving. The long-running Rock of Ages series is a blast, especially if you have friends to play it with online.
You're tasked with rolling a giant rock through a variety of obstacle courses. Sounds simple enough, but your rock will break if it takes too much damage from the hazards in your way. Rock of Ages 3 revisits the comical, Monty Python-esque aesthetic of the series, and this time adds a level creator where you can build and share your most devious course ideas.
Developer Rare didn't lose its edge with this classic Xbox title. Thanks to Midway Arcade Origins, you're technically getting over 30 free games from Games with Gold this month. Those three and many more are bundled into this arcade package.
While not every game in the Midway Arcade Origins collection is a winner, and the omission of any Mortal Kombat title is a letdown, it's certainly a great little time capsule containing some incredibly fun retro arcade games. Games with Gold adds something welcome and refreshing this month with The King's Bird, an award winning platformer with impressive physics elements incorporated into the gameplay.
With an intriguing story and superbly realized art style, The King's Bird is an easy recommendation to platformer enthusiasts looking for their next fix.
Tired of Diablo 3 and looking for something a little different? Shadows: Awakening might be to your liking, then, especially if you're into isometric hack, slash and loot-em-ups. Graphically impressive and packing tens of hours of gameplay, you can do a lot worse than checking out Shadows: Awakening, especially at the low, low price of free.
Featuring SNK's best-in-class pixel art style, the various special moves and flashy combos and effects are a real treat for the eyes. This one is an easy recommendation if you're after an easy to pick up fighter with a ton of fun characters to try out. The fighting game madness doesn't end there, though. Choose from a giant roster of DC heroes and villains, all with exhaustive move lists. Netherrealm's penchant for storytelling also shines through in Injustice, making this a very single player friendly fighting game with a ton of content to discover.
Armello is a deep strategy game that combines a fantastical turn-based board game setting with tactical card play and deck building. Throw zombies, demons, goblins and more into your evil empire and put those no-good heroes in their place for a change as Dungeons 3 comes to Xbox Games with Gold later in the month.
This classic Xbox title lets you take control of the Bat and plenty more DC heroes and villains. A platforming collect-a-thon with tons to see and do, Lego Batman is a perfect choice for kids and co-op family play.
Ever wanted to know what it'd be like to run your own banana republic? Well, that opportunity is now yours when Tropico 4 hits Games with Gold later in the month. As El Presidente, you run the show, and your political choices will affect how your island is run, as well as the enemies and allies you make along the way.
This action RPG set in a world of Norse mythology lets you team up with a friend for 2 player co-op, controlling fearsome viking warriors and combating evil forces on the shores of Midgard. If you loved Assassin's Creed Valhalla and you're looking for another hefty helping of Nordic nonsense, then Vikings: Wolves of Midgard might well be what you're after.
Truck Racing Championship might not appeal to everyone, but it might still be one for your dad to check out, if they're into racing simulators with a specific twist. For the target audience, Truck Racing Championship could be a worthwhile time sink, featuring 45 trucks as well as 5 single player and multiplayer modes.
This Xbox shooter came from the era of Capcom experimenting with more Western game design sensibilities.
It's a short game that ends rather abruptly, but it had some unique ideas that are well worth checking out. Dark Void lets players switch pretty seamlessly between both ground and air combat via your character's trusty jetpack and, now that we think about it, precious few games feature jetpacks as a gameplay mechanic.
Just something for all you aspiring game devs to keep in mind. This feature-rich run and gun shooter from Arc System Works is simply one of the best games from the Xbox Live Arcade era. A spin-off of Konami's Contra series, Hard Corps: Uprising packs in 8 brutally difficult levels, tons of powerups and a blistering metal soundtrack that elevates the experience. Rising Mode allows you to consistently improve your character through upgrades, and is the easier alternative to Arcade Mode which presents a more classic, lives-based experience.
Either way, play solo or team up with a buddy for one of the Xbox 's most high octane shooters. Warface prides itself on satisfying gunplay and crucial team communication. This tongue-in-cheek shooter for players also supports Xbox Play Anywhere, meaning you can continue your game from Xbox to PC and vice versa. VALA sees players piloting mechs and slaying hordes of enemy llamas. With a concept like that, how can the game not be worth at least a quick session or two? Metal Slug 3 sees you fighting against enemy soldiers, zombies, yetis, robots, aliens and more.
If Sea of Thieves has you in the mood for more swashbuckling adventures, then Port Royale 3 might just scratch that pirating itch. Players are tasked with heading a fleet of ships, with which you can become a lucrative trader or a dastardly sea dog living a life of plunder.
To be honest, the latter sounds far more appealing to us. Survival horror fans who have not yet experienced the original Resident Evil will find the definitive version of the game right here in this critically acclaimed remake.
Often considered one of the greatest gaming remakes of all time, Resident Evil recreates the Spencer Mansion incident in stunning detail with updated backgrounds, character models, story details and more areas than before. Gears 5 is the latest and arguably greatest entry in the long-running series to date, continuing the story of Kait Diaz and her comrades.
