Yeah there were a few titles worth taking a punt on but the vast majority saw non-appealing discounts and the lack of super cheap pocket money games was noticeable. We can forget about all that now though as the Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 3rd-9th July 2018 is now in place and it is bringing a whole new range of discounts to both Xbox One and Xbox 360 players.

Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter are the to the Xbox One's ever-growing .
Liberation initially launched in 2012 as a PlayStation Vita exclusive, but saw a spruced-up re-release on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC in 2014 under the HD moniker. Fun fact: its new backward compatibility status means that all console games in the Assassin's Creed series are now available on Xbox One.
Liberation was initially marketed as an Assassin's Creed 3 spin-off (although its connecting thread is mainly just a shared time period), and follows the exploits of Aveline de Grandpré around 18th century New Orleans and the Louisiana Bayou. Eurogamer's resident Assassin's Creed expert/obsessive Tom Philips ranked Liberation at number eight in last year, if you're curious to know how it stands among its peers.

"My experience with the NieR franchise is mostly limited to the release of NieR: Automata when it launched on the PlayStation 4 last year. I did play a few hours of the original NieR back on the Xbox 360 some 7 years ago, but I would be surprised if I played more than 4 or 5 hours of it. While not much has changed for this Xbox One release, at least in any substantial way, Xbox One gamers finally have the chance to play this wonderful action masterpiece.

If you’ve played GTA Online over the past week, you may have noticed a peculiar message: “GTA VI Coming 2019.” If you’re wondering why the game industry isn’t exploding over the sudden revelation that the next Grand Theft Auto will be out next year, it’s because there’s been no such announcement - the message going up in GTA Online is a hoax.
The impromptu announcement has only appeared in the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions of the game, which happen to be way more open to playing online with hacked games. It seems this is exactly what’s happened here - a hacker’s figured out how Rockstar’s announcement system works, and managed to put out an intriguing message about the developer’s next game.

Slim as it is, there is a chance the message is real, but don’t take any bets on it unless you like some real long odds. Red Dead Redemption 2 is out this year, five years after GTA5’s original release. Unless Rockstar’s shrunk its development process down from a half-decade to a single year, the is probably a bit further off.
What is coming soon is a Red Dead sequel, and - yes, I’m going to harp on this again - it still hasn’t been announced for PC. Maybe that’s a good thing, though. If a PC version got similarly hacked, I’d have to write this story all over again for Red Dead 3, and nobody wants that.

"We don't want that rubbish - we want decent games, we want AAA blockbusters, we want something different". Well, the free Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles being given away during the month of July pretty much tick those boxes. What's the chances there will still be complaints?"
