Xbox is presenting us with a few nice treats this month. And
while nothing is blowing me away personally, they’re some pretty decent titles.
I’m going to say this month is a good “If you haven’t played it yet you
probably should” kind of month.
So what’s on offer?
Ryse: Son of Rome will have you fighting for Rome with sword
in hand, while The Walking Dead: Season 2 will take you through a journey of
difficult choices and zombies. Darksiders lets you live out the supernatural in
a vivid show of fire and brimstone, and let’s not forget the fan favourite
conclusion to the Ezio trilogy, Assassin’s Creed Revelations.
Whatever you choose it’s going to be a fun month for Xbox
gamers
Remember: Any games you choose to download during their

April 2017 – Games
With Gold Ryse: Son of Rome (Xbox One) - Available: April 1 - 30 While
Ryse's gameplay was criticized for being a bit shallow, nobody was complaining
about the beautiful graphics or the involving story. This game was a launch
title for the Xbox One and is still one of the best-looking.
Telltale's The Walking Dead: Season 2 (Xbox One) -
Available: April 16 - May 15 Tired of all this sunshine, warm weather, and
general feeling of happiness that's creeping up on us? Make yourself miserable
by staying in and playing The Walking Dead, where even little girls are forced
to make life-and-death decisions in a harsh post-apocalypse.
Darksiders (Xbox 360) - Available: April 1 - 15 The best
M-rated Zelda game you'll ever play, Darksiders didn't get much love when it
first released, but has since grown and developed a cult following. Wanna know
why people get excited whenever the words "Darksiders 3" are
mentioned? Play this and you'll find out.
Assassin's Creed Revelations (Xbox 360) - Available: April
16 - 30 The world fell in love with the handsome Assassin known as Ezio
Auditore, but we knew his adventures had to come to an end someday. But with
the release of Revelations on Games With Gold, you most certainly can go back
to Constantinople.
