Might want to include a link or something

Microsoft continues to lead in offering more full retail games for the current console while making every last gen current GwG game backward compatible and playable all one One console. Microsoft continues the campaign on making gaming great again.

Sunset Overdrive is an excellent game. Great to see it as one of the games this month.

Great month for Microsoft.

Sunset Overdrive and The Wolf Among Us?

That is excellent.

Sony are going to have to work extra hard to beat Microsoft this month (hint: they won't).

Yeah, I will def be jumping back online for chaos squad mode in SO in April.

But that's actually good for once

Sunset Overdrive is a boring, tedious game.

The Wolf Among Us isn't bad but it's been offered dirt cheap. If you didn't have the 5 dollars to buy it when it was on sale you probably don't have the ability to have Gold. This is a very poor choice for games, it does nothing to show that Microsoft understands it's customers.

Lol good thing I didn't buy any of those games. It makes gwg a little more worth it.

Nothing for me since I already own those, but damn good month overall.

Just wow, nice !!! Too bad I already have SO but I'll DL it just so it's right there on the HDD so no need to put a disk in to play it anymore.

SO disk for sale to highest bidder. lol :P

I was about to make a thread about this one... Sunset overdrive was a super good surprise... To be honest psn+ has been mediocre for a very long time now... Sony needs to step up soon.

Awesome :)

Beautiful, can't wait to play some Sunset Overdrive.

Another garbage month, only TWAU is decent.

Highly recommend Wolf Among Us. Month looks good overall.

It's Saint's Row 4 btw

Great month! I already own SO and beat TWAU, but getting Dead Space is a delight. One of my favorite games of last gen. So I'm guessing Dead Space and Saints Row 4 will join BC almost immediately. I don't think they were apart of it before.

Wow, I'm surprised to see Sunset Overdrive this soon. Great news for subscribers.

I could hardly believe seeing SO there, one of my favorite games on the system.

Got that stuff already, but cool nonetheless. Wish Sony would throw some retail stuff on the pile.

Sunset Overdrive was a blast to play and is very underrated. Happy to see it may get a second round of love thanks to GWG.

Overall a good month for GWG imo. Now I hope Sony comes through with some games that aren't indy for April.

Good deal. The Spring Sale that's going on has a good amount of games at a good discount.

Sunset Overdrive is a gem of a game. It has over the top action and humor like Deadpool, traversal like Jet Set Radio and Mirror's Edge, and a diverse collection of weaponry like Ratchet & Clank. Matter of fact, this is a Rated R version of R&C while the R&C is usually for children. And the developers said this is their finest moment and the game they always wanted to make. Full retail games are always welcomed especially games of this caliber.

I recently bought the SRIV+Gat Xbox One version for chump change but gaining double the amounts of Cheevos for SRIV is neat. I haven't played Wolf but heard good things about it and I didn't get a chance to play Dead Space last gen, so it's awesome I could now play all of these on One console. Hopefully this isn't an April fools prank by MS because this is some good stuff again.

Looking forward to Sunset Overdrive.

Dang, and i bought SO like 2 weeks ago. Oh well.

Wow this actually sounds like a good month.

Excellent month, all 4 games I plan to download. Hope this makes Sony step up a bit

I never did try out Sunset Overdrive. I cant imagine it's all that great, but I know a few people with Xbones who could try it out with me.

Here you go. http://majornelson.com/2016/03/24/xbox-live-games-with-gold-for-april-2016/

Probably one of the best months I've seen in a long time. This is great. Wow.. only one Indie game and at least it's a good one.

It's too bad I already own both XB1 games, but I'll definitely download the free Dead Space & Saints Row 3.

I already played Sunset Drive, my 2014 GOTY, great game. Already played Wolf Among Us on PS4, but maybe I'll give it a go on X1.

I'll probably snag SR IV too.

Nice. Was thinking of picking up Sunset Overdrive but I'll wait now.

Garbage month yet again.

Dead Space!! About time!!

Also, Sunset Overdrive, that's cool. I already have it but there's a game I feel needed more exposure. I hope those with Gold and an XBO find the time to play this.

Wolf Among Us, already have that too but also a good Telltale game. Throw on Saints Row IV on it, that makes for a great month. I already have Saints Row IV Re-Elected + Gat Out of Hell on XBO, so this will be kind of redundant, would have preferred Saints Row: The Third instead, but hopefully that's going BC as well (fingers crossed).

All stuff I have (minus Dead Space), but great line-up. You done good Microsoft. You done good.

I wish MS would advertise what's in the pipe for releasing on BC, because Dead Space was offered few weeks back on sale for like $4 and I'd of bought it I knew but it's free so that's fine. BUT I'd of picked up Dark Souls had I known that was coming, that way I don't have to pay $20 for it now. There's been lots of sales on games I want that might go BC any day now, I've seen Civilizations Revolution cheap, Catherine, Beautiful Katamari. Hopefully more of the good ones are offered on Games w/ Gold though I'll be pretty happy then.

@Zassimick: Agreed. I had some frantic fun in SO. Things get really hectic in that game trying to traverse, aim, shoot and kill. But when you start pulling off some cool stuff its epic.

Great bunch of games! MS continues to beat Sony in this department.

I usually pass on the xbox games each month because they usually don't interest me or I have them (and they're 9 years old) but this month is the hotness. Good job ms.

Same, my internet is pretty crappy so I'm not fussed about spending a day downloading something that's probably mediocre anyway, this month looks real nice though. I'm going for everything except Saints Row, glad Sunset Overdrive is in there, I was really tempted to pick it up because it's pretty cheap anyway but now I can't refuse.

Those are all games I own, but I have to say, Solid month for Xbone.

You didn't like any of those games LOL. Did you play any of them?

Great games this month, especially if you haven't played any of them. Sunset was great and Dead Space is one of my favorite horror games of all time.

Sunset Overdrive? Cool.

That's actually a good month, Lems finally have something legit to brag about.

Hopefully Sony finally gets off their ass with PS4 offerings.

Damn, I think my sub just ended.

Yup, they're awful
