James writes "Movie tie-ins aren’t always the best kind of games, but when it's a LEGO adaptation, you take notice, and now you can grab an old gem based on the Pirates of the Caribbean films, without parting with any pieces of eight. Shiver me timbers, it’s free!"
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are few brands out there that have anything like the appeal and recognition of Disney. Thanks to decades of beautiful and critically acclaimed animated films, the company is a household name that has expanded beyond just movies to include a variety of other ventures, including videogames. Disney has also grown its lineup considerably in recent years by acquiring Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars (although for the purposes of this article, I’ll only be covering Disney/Pixar output).
Thanks to their broad audience, Disney games usually show up on every viable platform out there, meaning that despite the brand’s affinity with Nintendo’s younger-skewing audience, both the PSP and Vita received a number of titles throughout their lives. Some of this was through Disney's own developer/publisher (Disney Interactive Studios), but the firm also licensed out its IPs for other companies to try their hand at – with somewhat mixed results."
TechRaptor's pick for 6 underappreciated pirate games of various genres including point and click, management sim, hidden object and action adventure.
Pirates plunder for Windows 95. Wish someone would bring that game back, would be great for a. Cellphone game
Neil writes "This time last month I was waxing lyrical about how good it was to see the likes of Watch Dogs, Assassin’s Creed III, Dragon Age: Origins and a new game, SpeedRunners, be gifted to all Xbox One and Xbox 360 owners as part of the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for June 2017.
Now though we’re on the verge of being treated to even more free titles, but unfortunately the calibre of game given away with July’s Games With Gold scheme doesn’t quite match up to the month before it ."
Worst thing is the new game seems too similar to the last new game, need some variety!
It's not going to be top tier every month. They have been pretty good lately. The sine curve was bound to hit the bottom at some point.
