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. Not a single game was similar, but that isn’t a bad thing, per se. Starting today, we get two new games, with two more on the way, but what are they?
Xbox Kicks Their Summer Off Early with Huge Sale!
This morning a sale went live for Xbox Live users. Every week we get the weekly deals, or the spotlight sale or whatever. This week is different. This week may possibly be dubbed as the Spring Cleaning sale for Xbox, because whoa. This sale is pretty sweet.
Rumor: June Games with Gold Possibly Revealed
It seems like a monthly tradition for us here at Marooners’ Rock, as well as other news sources, that in the week leading up to the end of a month, someway, somehow, Microsoft leaks the next month’s Games with Gold listing. Every month, the games revealed turn out to be true. This month’s leak has me… leery. To say the least. You’ll see why.
Sunset Overdrive And Saints Row IV Is Now Free for Xbox Gold Members
Stop what you’re doing, jump onto your Xbox One, go to the marketplace, find Sunset Overdrive, download. Enjoy one of the coolest launch titles from the Xbox One for free, assuming you have a valid Xbox Live Membership that is.

Legend of Kay Anniversary
10 years after its initial release, Legend of Kay - Anniversary is a thoroughly remastered version of the original game: high-resolution textures; new, more detailed character models; modern rendering techniques and crystal-clear surround sound give this great classic a new shine.
Legend of Kay Anniversary Review
I am going to start this review with an aside. I like bad games. I like finding the charm in imperfect creations. For God’s sake, I 1000G’d BCFX: Black College Football: The X-perience: The Doug Williams Edition, (Yes, that is a real game. Yes, that is the full title.) but man… Legend of Kay Anniversary was rough, from beginning to end. (Note: This review is based on the Xbox 360...[Read More]
Borderlands: The Pre Sequel Review
I can remember the first time I played Borderlands. I spent so much time in that game, and with how big it is, who wouldn’t? To me it seemed like the first of its kind. A few years later Borderlands 2 came to us, which brought out more of the back-story and–more importantly–information about the planet. However, there were a lot of questions left to be asked as you beat the game....[Read More]
IndieCade 2014: Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions
Geometry Wars has had an interesting path. Born from Bizarre Creations, it started life as a mini-game in Project Gotham Racing 2, and was eventually released as its own in the form of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved. Its success led to ports and spin-offs before an eventual sequel: Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2. After the dissolution of Bizarre Creations, many of the now defunct’s staff creat...[Read More]

Falling Skies: The Game Review
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Little Orbit’s Falling Skies: The Game hits the nail on the head. Billing itself as a squad-based strategy title, the design and gameplay feel very reminiscent of a similar award-winning title where humans battle against an alien horde. Though not as strong as other titles of the same vein, Falling Skies does bring a few unique angles to the board. F...[Read More]
