Portal Knights

Join this cooperative, 3D sandbox action RPG to level up your character, craft epic weapons, conquer enemies in real-time, and build almost anything.

There's plenty of charm and customisation to be had here, so it's time to get creative. Portal Knights lets you essentially craft your own adventure and become the hero character you've always wanted.

Override: Mech City Brawl

"Mech it rain" with a diverse roster of epic robots, each with their own playstyle, special moves, and finishers. Mech City Brawl is actually incredibly fun, especially when you're playing against friends,

Who doesn't want to see giant robots duke it out? There's even a single-player story mode, but you'll definitely want to try out the versus combat.

MX Unleashed

Arguably one of the best racing games of the early 2000s, with a killer soundtrack to boot.

MX Unleashed is a fond and distant memory for a lot of people who had a chance to play it either on PS2 or the original Xbox and it is an instant classic.

You can easily sink endless hours driving around some of the huge open environments and the downright addictive racing career mode.

Red Faction II

Easily one of the most iconic shooter games on the original Xbox console. This gem came out in 2002 and at the time it gave players some absolutely addictive gameplay.

From the extremely fun multiplayer to making your own AI bots to blast away, Red Faction II, and the Red Faction series, is held in a special place in the hearts of many.

There's also a single-player campaign mode, but the multiplayer is really where it's at.

Before August's games make it onto your console, make sure you download and try July's Games with Gold if you haven't already. WRC World Rally will be available until July 31 and Dunk Lords will be there until August 15.
