Way back in 2002, Gas Powered Games and Microsoft released Dungeon Siege on the PC. A favorite at LAN parties, this four player co-op game had players battling hordes of monsters, sacking all kinds of loot, and generally just having a heck of a time. A sequel and expansion packs followed, but the series has been quiet since late 2006.
That's all behind us now though, as Square Enix and Obsidian Entertainment have teamed up for a full on sequel with Dungeon Siege III (DS3). This newest entry takes place on the same continent as the previous games, Aranna, and also marks the first time the series is available on consoles.
Whether playing alone, with a friend via splitscreen, or with up to three others online, DS3 is an addictive and enjoyable experience.

But hey, that's where the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale comes in, delivering a host of Xbox One and Xbox 360 games at bargain basement prices. Want to know exactly what is on offer between the 19th-25th March 2019? There's a good few to choose from!"
Square Enix have teamed up with Amazon to offer a bonus game for Xbox owners that is guarenteed to be backwards compatible.
Neil writes "Dungeon Siege III has been stripped of its price tag thanks to the Xbox Games With Gold scheme. Fancy playing it on your Xbox 360 and/or your Xbox One?"
If this wasn't playable on X1 too I'd never get round to playing it. No idea how good it is but worth a go!
