That being said,Portal Knightsplayers can also indulge their creativity by building bases and customizing their characters into different classes. Whether they want to be ranged, melee, magic, or even some combination,Portal Knightsoffers a couple of different options.
The other game available now for August 2020 isMX Unleashed, a motorbike racing game released back in 2004. Microsoft madeMX Unleashedbackward compatible on the Xbox Onein 2018 but now players can enjoy the game regardless of if they own a copy of the original or not.
At the height of THQ’s popularity, the publisher was regularly putting out games featuring alternate sports like wrestling and ATV racing.MX Unleashedwas by no means a runawaysuccess for THQbut it did receive mostly positive reviews upon release.
The final game in Xbox Live Gold’s selection isOverride: Mech City Brawl, which will be available from August 16th until September 15th. It’s likely the game that people are the least familiar with, but it does offer something unique.
Override: Mech City Brawlfeatures giant robots battling it out in a variety of environments, from a city filled with skyscrapers to a sprawling desert. Players can customize their mechs with a variety of different combat options, looks, and colors. It’s not the typical robots vs. Kaiju experience thatfans of movies likePacific Rimare familiar with, butOverride: Mech City Brawldoes offer a similar scale with its fights.
