With that in mind, it’s time to dive into the latest Games With Gold titles that we’ll be receiving in December 2018 to see just how good or bad they are, and whilst they may not quite match up to last month’s incredible offerings on first glance, there is still plenty of fun to be had in the run up to Christmas with titles that are sure to surprise those who jump in."
The Epic Game Store continues to give away games like candy, so go get your freebies now.
Starting today, Beyond Blue and Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) are free at Epic Games Store. Once you claim them, they're yours to keep.

For those of you blissfully unaware, EA and BioWare employed a payment system called BioWare Points on PC to pay for DLCs for titles like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. While PC gamers have been struggling with BioWare point’s unfair conversion rates and extremely scarce and cost-detrimental sales.
Console players have been allowed to purchase content in pieces through the appropriate Sony and Microsoft shops. For real money, and not BioWare monopoly bucks. In turn, console players missed out on some DLC content, such as Mass Effect 2 pre-order bonuses that have been repackaged into a DLC pack."
Great response to Ubisoft and their disgusting behavior. Ubisoft decide to take away DLC from people who paid for it, while EA give it for free to everyone when they realize their system sucks. Who would have thought that EA of all companies would be showing Ubisoft how it should be done (even if this is EA fixing their own mistakes as well).
What goes around comes around and I promise you, Ubisoft will see their actions blow back on them when their diminishing sales numbers and stock taking a hit downward. That's the only way a company learns when they decide to be reactive instead of proactive.
Mercenaries is always fun. A tribute to the bygone days of the brilliant gaming studio Pandemic.
I actually like Dragon Age 2. Isabella is one of my favorite and is a character I wish they would bring back in a new dragon age game
Never Alone is a simplistic side scrolling puzzle platformer. I like it.
Hmm. An incentive to turn on my Xbox, get that fan to blow out some of the accumulated dust.
Mercenaries certainly is but I don't know anything about the XBO titles. Dragon Age 2 was utter garbage though, a mission statement to how shallow Bioware would be in developing games from that point forward.
