December is finally here! This means yet another batch of Free Games with Prime.

But which Xbox One and Xbox 360 games have been hit with the discount brush thanks to the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 12th-18th December 2017? How do the following sound?"

Poi... ...
For those whot haven't played this game yet.
It is based on the Super Mario 64 formula (you have to visit the same worlds multiple times, but with different goals), the gameplay is very smooth and the characters move set is pretty good. You can play as either a boy or a girl (no difference besides the model) and the is a couple of minigames here and there as well.
My main issue with this games is it's dificult, or lack of it, a average player can complete the game in under 6 hours and besides a mirror mode, there is really nothing else to do. Still, for something around $10 to $15 I believe it is worth it.
