Microsoft has just revealed what games will be available in August for the Games With Gold promotion. They include two games for the Xbox One and two games for the Xbox 360. The two new Xbox One games will be replacing Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition and Max: The Curse of Brotherhood so be sure to “buy” those for free before August 1. The free games for the month of August include:

Xbox One - Available on August 1

Crimson Dragon - Several generations have passed since the human colonists of Planet Draco lost contact with Earth. Now they face the return of an old threat, a colossal destroyer known as the White Phantom. In "Crimson Dragon," control your dragon and fight off the violent enemy life forms. Teach your dragon new skills, and train it to face combat in harder missions.

Strike Suit Zero - Director’s Cut - In the year 2299, an interstellar war rages. Take control of the Strike Suit – a craft with the ability to transform into a hulking suit of space armor - in a bid to save Earth from destruction. Immerse yourself in massive fleet battles where your dogfighting skills will directly affect the fate of the cosmos. Discover a colorful and vibrant universe, with an epic story spanning 13 unique missions. Engage intelligent enemy fighters and take on colossal capital ships, exploiting weak points in their super-structure to blow them apart piece by piece.

Xbox 360

Motocross Madness - Available August 1 - Take your bike freeriding across massive environments, from the deserts of Egypt to the snows of Iceland. Drift, trick and turbo boost your way across 9 expansive offroad tracks in single player events, ghost challenges and 8-player multiplayer races. Combine stats with your friends in Bike Club to unlock rewards then compete across all events to reach the top of your club.

Dishonored - Available August 16 - Dishonored is an immersive first-person action game that casts you as a supernatural assassin driven by revenge. With Dishonored’s flexible combat system, creatively eliminate your targets as you combine the supernatural abilities, weapons and unusual gadgets at your disposal.
