Greetings Backloggers! A new month always means new freebies from various game services; to keep pace, I needed to finish three games this week to compensate for April’s Games With Gold offering.

Every once in a while you need to get away from the garbage life throws at you.

Lost boys and girls, the new year is upon us and with it a lot of prospective changes. One minor change from 2016 is the January 2017 Games with Gold offer.

Xbox Games with Gold for the Month of June Kicks Off with a “Baaaa”

So it turns out the “rumor” that I warned everyone about for the upcoming month of Games with Gold wasn’t partially incorrect. It was completely and totally wrong.
