It’s more in line with the usual offerings

If April’s Games with Gold lineupwas the best yet, and I’m inclined to agree with Brett that it was, then whatever Microsoft has in store for May can’t possibly stack up. I had that sentiment in mind when reading over the list of what’s coming up next, and I’m still rather underwhelmed.

On the Xbox One side, it’s a decent effort.Defense Grid 2will be free with an Xbox Live Gold membership throughout May, followed byCostume Quest 2from May 16 – June 15. Two titles many of us don’t already own, if absolutely nothing else. I’m down for both of ’em.

For Xbox 360, we’re looking atGrid 2from May 1 – May 15, and thenPegglefrom May 16 – May 31. If you don’t already own the latter in one form or another, then by all means, enjoy it.

I’d like to formally requestAsura’s Wrathfor Games with Gold and/or backward compatibility support. Kyle won’t let me ever forget that I didn’t play CyberConnect2’s absurd quick-time-event-’em-up and the only way I’ll be bothered to is if it comes to a more recent console. Help me help myself.
