Like an Irishman working in a sodium factory on Saint Patrick’s day and who isn’t wearing green, you might want to take this with a pinch of salt as the August Xbox Games With Gold have been "leaked".

Where one month ends another begins. Which means new old games via the Xbox Games With Gold service for Xbox Live subscribers. So what does your subscription get you this month? The following according to Xbox.

The Xbox Game Pass selection on offer right now ain’t too shabby provided that you enjoy a comprehensive list of backwards compatible titles. Xbox Game Pass launches officially on June 1, but if you happen to have an Xbox Live Gold subscription then you’re in luck: You can jump in right now.

There may be some hope on the horizon for beleaguered PC gamers then, as some digging on NeoGAF yesterday in the recently released PC port and update of Bayonetta saw an image crop up in the game folder. An image that looked a lot like Vanquish protagonist Samuel Gideon in his trademark sliding DARPA armour.

This time of the year is also a perfect reminder that staying indoors might be the best decision you’ll ever make, especially when several video games are on sale. Specifically, the games on sale through the Xbox store. It’s been a while since Xbox had a properly massive sale, and they’re slashing prices on just about every single game in their library. Steamy, delicious.

The April batch of Games with Gold have been leaked. And they include a bunch of angry Romans, and angsty teen in an undead nightmare and some truly biblical events.

The love of month is being headlined by games that range from prequel sagas through to one of the finest simulators of horses under the hood in recent years.

Find your Xbox library is lacking? Best you take advantage of the new Black Friday sale on the Xbox Store, where titles, old and new, are going at insanely low prices!
