Microsoft has officially revealed their slate for the April Games with Gold program. Starting April 1st, Xbox Live Gold members can download Ryse: Son of Rome for Xbox One and Darksiders for Xbox 360. Following those on April 15th, members will also be able to get their hands on Telltale’s The Walking Dead Season Two for the One and Assassin’s Creed Revelation on the 360.

Ryse: Son of Rome has players take on the role of a Roman soldier out for revenge in a gorgeous hack and slash adventure. The Walking Dead Season Two sees a more grown up Clementine from the first season trying to survive in the zombie apocalypse and has the player not only navigate this new world, but some tough and emotional decisions that shape the game as you play.

In Darksiders, the Horsemen War must clear his name as the bringer of humanity’s end in this cross between Legend of Zelda and God of War. Assassin’s Creed Revelation brings the tale of master assassins Ezio Auditore da Firenze as he fights against the Templar Order in the city of Constantinople and discovers the ultimate fate of famed assassin Altair Ibn-La’Ahad.

It is important to note that both Xbox 360 titles are playable through Xbox’s Backwards Compatibility program meaning that gamers can play all four titles on their Xbox One. Also of note, both Darksiders and Assassin’s Creed Revelation have remastered versions on the Xbox One.

It appears to be a solid list for members of the program this coming month. Let us know down in the comments which of these games you plan on picking up for yourself.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
