Super Meat Boy hurts so good
For June 2022, Xbox Games with Gold is giving out four free games:
With an active Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you can redeem these games during those listed time frames, then keep ’em for good.
Many of us have been there and back again withSuper Meat Boy— a true test of determination just as much as platforming reflexes. It’s one of those greats in its genre, and this is the original Xbox Live Arcade edition, so grab your headphones and crank it up.
The other throwback for June isRaskulls, a frantic action-platformer that’s notable around here for its sharp-dressedMr. Destrctoidcameo, whileAven ColonyandProject Highriseare a bit newer (but not exactly “fresh”). The former is a city-builder with drones and aliens, while the latter is going for a more squishedSimTowervibe. Not a bad spread!
