Tin Salamunic: Despite being a lifelong Dynasty Warriors fan, Warriors Orochi went completely under my radar when it first released back in 2007. The first two releases were critically panned, so I never bothered with the third installment. When I heard Koei Tecmo was re-releasing an “Ultimate” edition of WO3 I was a bit confused, but considering their superb DW 8: Extreme Legends Complete Edition from a few months ago, I tried putting all skepticism aside. I am glad I stayed optimistic. Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate is another superb hack n’ slash entry packed with what seems an endless amount of content and the same smooth action seen in Tecmo’s DW HD upgrade earlier this year. While the gameplay remains largely unchanged and does little to attract newcomers, this is an absolute must for franchise devotees and those looking for chaotic wuxia action.
It’s that time of the month again folks. The time where gamers collectively gather all over the internet to criticize what free games they get this month. So, who plundered the other’s fanboys for all their self-worth and gratification in life? Who was the victor in July? Let’s take a look.
Hmm, Warriors Orochi actually looks like something I'll enjoy. Hell, even WWE could be fun.
Warriors Orochi is awesome, Spelunky is great as well but a bit old, I bet the most people that care about that kind of games bought it already.
WWE is just a bit above mediocre and the stinker this month I think, personally I was happy that I could rent it a while ago for a weekend instead of buying it.
Yakuza 5 for PS3 is one of the best games on the system and I read that Rebel Galaxy might be great fun too. Seems it is a good month no matter which platform you prefer.
Yeah Yakuza 5 is as close to a PS4 game as you can get on the PS3. As for Rebel Galaxy, it has all the right ingredients for a great game, but it just comes up a little short in each department. Still a very solid pick up for free though.
Rebel Galaxy is a ton of fun. I've got it for PC but I'd like to have a free copy on xbox

I really believe this is the reason there is so much hate every month around the free games. Some fanboys cannot stand to lose any pointless internet console battle, ever.
Yeah people love to make competition out of anything they can. It's a classic human thing to do.
Pretty much.
Online play is why people pay for Gold and Plus anyway. People were paying for Gold before the free games. A lot more people started paying for Plus after Sony put online behind pay wall.
Most aren't going to stop their subscription just because the FREE games are 'bad.' I mean even if one is delivering significantly better games than the other, are people gonna put their money where their mouth is and stop paying their sub at the expense of online play in order to get better FREE games? Nope, just pointless arguing to make the other feel bad about the FREE games they are receiving.
The losers are people who pay for PS Plus and Xbox Live and don't even know they have free games to download each month -- like most of my friends :D.
I'd say about even, overall Xbox has been doing much better and ps plus has continued steady pace, I'd say both games with gold ps plus are about even in there monthly offerings noadays
Neil writes "We're here yet again with the latest free Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles ready to be thrust upon us. But in a period that sees few new games released, the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for August could well be the big hitting feature that Xbox One and Xbox 360 players looking for a new game rely on. That combination therefore leaves the door wide open for the scheme to deliver a cracking set of free titles."
Positive side for you is once you get the digital version you can lose the disc plus no download wait
Last time I played a wrestling game was on Super Nintendo no lie, but with this being gold it looks really fun to try out.
Good for me as I've never played any of the games being offered this month.
Edit: that was a lie, I played BG&E on OGXbox.
I'm going to get some mileage out of everything but Spelunky. I've played that in so many variations. I realized when I started Spelunky World online for PS4 that I simply cannot plant another bomb without blacking out. I have not played a wrestling game since the last wwe game on PS2. I'm excited to see how far things have come. Solid month for me.
Neil writes "Pinch, punch, it's the first of the month...and that means Xbox One owners get to save a huge amount as Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate gets stripped of its price tag thanks to the Games With Gold scheme."
