The summer drought is officially here (although there are a few dribbles of new releases) so it’s a prime opportunity for some quality free games – take alook below and see what you’ll be able to grab this month…
Xbox One:
Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate (Aug 1st-Aug 31st): Port of an old Xbox 360 hack and slash game. Very similar to Dynasty Warriors which will give you a good idea of what to expect.
WWE 2K16 (Aug 16th-Sept 15th): The best wrestling game in many years, lots of modes, huge roster, a really great title. I reviewed it here…
Xbox 360 (& Xbox One)
Spelunky (Aug 1st-Aug 15th): Spelunky is an absolute gem. Rogue like mining, traversing different worlds, randomised every time you play. Hugely challenging, hugely rewarding.
Beyond Good and Evil HD (Aug 16th-Aug 31st): Improved character models and textures from Beyond Good and Evil (released back in 2003) it’s an action adventure third person game. Generally it was received fairly well.
Playstation 4
Rebel Galaxy: A big open space combat game. Don’t get too many of these around today, looks interesting. Find out more in the review.
Tricky Towers: I normally balk at these puzzle type indie games but this could be good – you need to build towers using Tetris blocks whilst sabotaging other players. Could be good.
PS Vita
Patapon 3: Weird looking rhythm game for PSP originally. There’s a story which sounds as weird as it looks, but it’s a fantastic rhythm game if you give it a chance.
Playstation 3
Yakuza 5: Open world classic – or so I’m told by many friends who rave about this series. Lots of mini games to partake in and foes to spin kick.
Retro/Grade: A rhythm game but where time flows backwards. It’s kind of like a shoot em up in reverse it seems but you have to ‘un-fire’ to the beat of the music.
PS Vita / PS4 / PS3
