Batman: The Enemy Within, Sonic Generations lead Xbox Games with Gold for March
March is almost here, meaning Xbox Live Gold subscribers have a fresh batch of titles to look forward to as part of Microsoft's Games with Gold initiative. On the Xbox One front, there's Telltale Games' Batman: The Enemy Within, plus Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, while March's Xbox 360 offerings are Sonic Generations and Castlevania: Lord of Shadow 2
Batman: The Enemy Within once again sees the Dark Knight being given Telltale's familiar point-and-click-style adventure treatment, continuing the narrative established in Season 1. Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, meanwhile, delivers another solid, gorgeously presented entry in WayForward's well-regarded 2D platform series, blending spirited side-scrolling action with light Metroidvania progression, built around Shantae's transformation powers.
As for March's Xbox 360 offerings, Castlevania: Lord of Shadows 2 is the rather disappointing follow-up to developer MercurySteam's combat-heavy action-adventure reboot. "[It's] hostage to a story it tells badly, and a prisoner within a dull urban maze that refuses to become a characterful exploratory playground," wrote Eurogamer's Christian Donlan back in 2014.
