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.

One team is comprised of a large team of dune buggies that have sticky bombs. The other team is significantly smaller, for good reason. You will be playing against a team of tanks.

Legacy of the Duelist on my Xbox One, I found myself not remembering anything about the animated series other than the main character has crazier than Cloud Strife hair and something about Blue Eyes White Dragon. As a preteen in the early 2000’s, I saw very few episodes of the show. It was something I flipped to when nothing else was on. I gave this game a chance b...[Read More]
