Xbox’s July Games With Gold includes Grow Up, Kane & Lynch 2

By Marshall Lemon

Microsoft has revealed next month’s Games With Gold titles which you can pick up for free.

It’s that time when Microsoft peruses its back catalogue to decide which games it will offer to its Xbox Live gold members – for free, of course.

As outlined in the video, Xbox has four titles lined up – starting with the 3D platformer Grow Up. Next is the 2D competitive platformer Runbow. Finally, Microsoft rounds off its collection with the Xbox 360 games Kane & Lynch 2 and LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean.

While those latter titles are Xbox 360-specific, Xbox One owners can play all four games thanks to the system’s backwards compatibility. That said, if you’re planning to pick up these games for your kids, you may want to pass on Kane & Lynch 2, which will stick out like a bloody thumb on a naked hitman.

Although maybe that’s not fair. Some would argue you shouldn’t get Kane & Lynch 2 for adults either.
