Last month, Microsoft promised to offer up two games for the Xbox One each month as a thank you to fans. August sees two new Games with Gold offerings for the Xbox One as well as two more for the Xbox 360. Even if you don’t have a 360, you should be snagging them on the off chance they become backwards compatible later on!
