Microsoft has kicked off May with a couple of new games for it’s Games with Gold program. They are as follows:
Dust: An Elysian Tail – Available from May 1-16
“Dust: An Elysian Tail” comes from independent developer Humble Hearts, and it is a beautiful, breathtakingly animated love letter to 2D sidescrolling action-adventure games. In the land of Falana, the titular protagonist discovers a mysterious sword that alters his life and sets him on the road to becoming a hero. If fast-paced action, exploration, and seriously good-looking environments are your thing, you’ll want to pick up.
Saints Row: The Third – Available from May 16-31
Volition’s critically acclaimed “Saints Row: The Third” might be just the kind of raw, hilarious, and over-the-top open-world adventure you need, when it blows into town (or at least, Games with Gold) on May 16. As the leader of the Third Street Saints, it’s up to you to lead your gang to victory in the crime-ridden city of Steelport, get rich, trick yourself out with all kinds of ridiculous weapons and gear, and cause all the collateral damage (and probably more).
