Microsoft is winning over gamers with Games with Gold, a service offering free game downloads to Xbox Live subscribers. This is the second month of the Xbox One’s Games with Gold program, with the new offering, Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition replacing Halo: Spartan Assault. The Xbox 360 is has Gotham City Impostors and BattleBlock Theater for its July 2014 selections.
The Xbox 360 title available for the first half of the month, is Gotham City Imposters. Normally $14:99 this game is available for the next four days, until July 15th. Xbox.com’s Xbox Wire blog describes the new game, writing:
“Available July 1-15, we have ‘Gotham City Impostors,’ a multiplayer, first-person shooter based on DC Comics’ Batman universe. Here, two teams of six players face off against each other using a variety of Batman- and Joker-themed weapons in good ol’ deathmatches. Raucous fun, and plenty of it to be had for fans of blowin’ stuff up.”
During the second half of the month you can get your hands on BattleBlock Theater, a multiplayer puzzle game. This game is available from July 16-31.
However, the Xbox One only offers one new free game this month, which feels like a rip off until you remember that it comes free with your Xbox Live subscription and that you get to keep it. This month Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition, joins last months Max: The Curse of Brotherhood. Xbox Wire offers a description of the new addition, reading:
“‘Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition’ is a challenging brawler/platformer, arriving via the ID@Xbox self-publishing program for Xbox One. You play Juan Aguacate, a masked Mexican wrestler on a quest to save the President’s daughter from the evil, skeletal Carlos Calaca--you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll elbow-drop jaguars. More than just a meticulously balanced brawler, though, ‘Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition’ features cleverly hidden secret areas, a vibrant world of wonderment built around the Mexican land of the dead, and a creative ability system that allows for ever-increasing exploration and rewards. ‘Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition’ will replace June’s Xbox One Games with Gold title ‘Halo: Spartan Assault’ so be sure to grab it while you can!”
