November's Games with Gold Mean 'Volgarr the Viking' on the Xbox One and a Classic from Rare & from THQ on the 360

The newest [email protected] Game will be free for Gold Members.

November's Xbox One Games with Gold have been announced, and it's the new Xbox One version of last year's 16-bit style sidescroller, 'Volgarr the Viking' that will be free for Gold members.

From developer Crazy Vikings Studios,

Remember when games were tough? Return to the Golden Age of arcades with an all-NEW hardcore action experience that pulls no punches. Volgarr the Viking possesses all the hallmarks of the true classics - simple controls, high challenge, and meticulous design - combined with hand-made pixel animation, an epic soundtrack, and buckets of blood. Flex your gaming muscles and step into the arena with Volgarr the Viking. We dare you.

Meanwhile, the Xbox 360 gets two very different games. The first could be considered the last hit from developer Rare, 'Viva Pinata,' which may be a blast for the past for anyone that played it in the early days of the 360. And then there's 'Red Faction Guerilla', which was also a last gasp in its own way for the once proud THQ franchise.

From Microsoft,

For the month of November, Xbox Live Gold members can look forward to three new free games on Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Volgarr the Viking, the newest [email protected] game, will debut on Xbox One as a free download. For Xbox One gamers, this is a journey back to the days of yore, when times were tougher, and you really only needed a couple buttons to play a game.

Then on November 16th, Xbox Live Gold Members can download Red Faction: Guerrilla ($19.99 ERP) for free through November 30th

Order from Amazon
