Sunset Overdrive...
Oh, good. It's been silly cheap on Amazon lately and I could never decide whether to get it or not. Glad I held off, haha!

Played SO & Dead Space of them but that's a cracking line up. Not going to bang on about it but the monthly games on PS+ by comparison are getting silly now.

You can buy Sunset for £8 which I was thinking about, glad I waited. Good games this month.

Games for Gold in April

Xbox One The Wolf Among Us/Sunset Overdrive

Xbox 360 Dead Space/Saints Row IV
Awesome, have to say that ever since buying an Xbox One in November of last year, I have not been disappointed with Gold, whereas PSN+ is a different story. Been eyeing Sunset Overdrive for awhile...

I agree, though it'll be subjective: PS+ has got worse whilst XBG has been getting steadily better over the last 8-12 months.

I've seen it mentioned around the web as this is due to XB1 trailing in the sales so XBG needs to be more attractive as a marketing device. It's possible...

It's definite. MS have seen an opportunity and are exploiting it.

One concern remains though. Start going for older AAA games and there's more chance of getting stuff you already own.

Out of all the AAA games MS have put on the service so far, Sunset Overdrive is the first one that's been any use to me.

So yeah, big PR and fan boy bragging rights win, not sure how much of a boon it is for the average gamer though.

Dead Space has also been added to the EA Access game vault. Good to see the Bc games turning up in there (come on Kingdoms of Amalur!)

Not sure EA would be able to add KofA due to the legal shenanigans surrounding it, unfortunately...

Looks like Defense Grid 2 may possibly be one of May GwG titles.

Aye. This has gone down like a lead balloon on every site I've checked today. Big flop from MS.

Considering Sony gave Rocket League away when that was new to PS4, and it was a huge hit, I've been holding back, wondering if MS would do similar...

A weaker month compared to recent offerings. That said Costume Quest 2 is an excellent game. I had a blast with it.

Had a quick go on DG 2 yesterday and it seems like a good game I played a couple of games and spent 10 minutes watching achievement notifications appearing on screen afterwards.

Similar happened here. About 500 achievements from one go on it
