Red Faction: Armageddon ($29.99)
Mankind finds itself poised on the brink of extinction deep underground. Darius Mason is humanity’s last hope for survival.
While 402 sounds like a lot of games, the list is set to expand at a faster pace later on this year, as Microsoft announced at E3 that it will be adding games from the original Xbox to Backward Compatibility.
Also, it"s nearing the end of the month, which means that if you haven"t grabbed July"s Games with Gold yet, you should. You"ve got until July 31 to grab Grow Up (Xbox One) and LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean (Xbox 360); and until August 15 to claim Runbow (Xbox One). Earlier today, the company also announced next month"s Games with Gold.
