As is usual, the Xbox 360 games will also be compatible with the Xbox One. Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is an indie game that was released as part of the ID@Xbox program in September 2015. It was designed with co-operative gameplay in mind and tasks players with piloting a spaceship through a variety of levels, with each player taking control of one aspect of the vehicle. This means that you have to balance between attacking and defending to ensure that the spaceship does not get destroyed. Project Cars is the highly acclaimed racing simulator from Slightly Mad Studios. It was originally released in May 2015 and meant to

Major Nelson has once again revealed the games that are going to be offered to Xbox Live Gold members throughout July through the Games With Gold program. Most surprising is the inclusion of The Banner Saga 2, a game that is only due to release in the next month for the first time, giving players free access to the title as soon as it becomes available. The sequel to the tactical role-playing game that originally released in 2014 was due to launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on July 26 but will now release on the first day of the month on Microsoft’s console while the PS4 version will become available on the PlayStation Store from July 5.

Major Nelson has once again revealed the titles that Xbox Live Gold members will be able to download for free in November.  The month will mark the first time that Xbox One users will be able to get their hands on four games for their console thanks to the fact that both Xbox 360 titles will be fully backwards compatible, something that will carry on into the future. Players will have to wait until November 12 though, as the update to add support for older generation games is not available until then. The first game available will be Pneuma: Breath of Life for the Xbox One, which will be offered from November 1 for the entire month. The title is a first-person puzzler that mixes the idea of religion and faith into the story. The second is Knight Squad by Chainawsome Games, which will become fre to all subscribers when it launches on November 16. The two Xbox 360 offerings are relatively old games as both released in 2011. The

While it is common for Microsoft to update the Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Windows platforms regularly, they have generally neglected their websites so that destinations such as Xbox.com are nowhere near as useful as they could be. That looks set to change now though as the company has added a select few but highly requested features to the official Xbox website to make the browsing experience more complete. According to Major Nelson, the site will now allow Xbox Live users to listen to any voice message they have received on their Gamertag. This is ideal for those who are away from their console but still want to play any messages they receive and reply. Microsoft has also forced demos to show up in search results on the site, preventing the need to go onto the Xbox One console to download a demo for a game. Users can now simply send the title to download from Xbox.com. Microsoft are still looking to add new features and functionality to the site

Microsoft’s Larry Hyrb, better known by his Xbox Live gamertag Major Nelson, has revealed the titles that will be available to download for free to all Xbox Live Gold members for the month of September.  As is usual for Games With Gold, two titles will be available on the Xbox One and two for the Xbox 360. The Xbox One offerings for September include Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition and The Deer God. The first game is a remastering of hit Lara Croft game that effectively rebooted the series in 2013. Meanwhile, The Deer God is a survival platformer that has a unique visual style that has been created with 3D pixels. The addition of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is surprising considering that the last generation version of the game, Tomb Raider, was only made available through the program for the Xbox 360 back in March. However, it is likely that its inclusion is a way to help increase publicity for the upcoming Rise of the Tomb Raider that is due

Major Nelson has once again revealed the games that will be made available for free to Xbox Live Gold members through the Games With Gold program. This month’s titles range across a variety of genres and may well disappoint some thanks to the fact that both of the Xbox 360 titles on offer are several years old. Especially when you consider the strength of last month’s offerings that included Child of Light on the Xbox One and Gears of War: Judgement, Terraria, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel. Players on the Xbox 360 will be able to download Mafia II until May 16 and will then be given access to F1 2013.
