Xbox Games with Gold loads up with 4 new freebies

Games with Gold rebounds big time this month. Grab a quartet of quality titles in Lost Planet 3, Darksiders III, Yooka-Laylee, and SNK’s Garou.

That’s Fatal Fury, btw

Okay, so this month is a darn good one for Xbox Live subscribers. No, not everything is all that current, but there are 4 good solid games to download. And they’re all pretty big names to boot.

Like hack and slash, fantasy gaming? Then you might be interested in Darksiders III. The third title in the now-long-running series, DS3 casts players in the role of Fury, the third of the Four Horsemen of the apocalypse.

Fighting? Well then you’ll want to check out what’s the latest game in the Fatal Fury series of SNK fighters; Garou: Mark of the Wolves. How about platforming? You could definitely do worse than Yooka-Laylee. And finally, those who might just be in for a title old fashioned sci-fi action should definitely take a peek at Lost Planet 3. Yes, it’s a little long in the tooth, but it’s a solid third-person shooter that still looks pretty sharp.

All of the above have slightly different availability dates, as usual. So make sure you take note of that, before you look for those downloads.
