Xbox Games with Gold April free games: Gears of War: Judgement, Terraria, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel

The April edition of the Games with Gold program for Xbox gamers is now available.

Coming in two waves, this month's program for Xbox 360 gamers is divided between the first and latter part of April. For April 1 to 15, the title "Gears of War: Judgment" as well as "Terraria" will be available.

In "Gears of War: Judgement," players take on the role of a hatchling COG lieutenant, Damon Baird, and his Kilo Squad team. Hardcore fans of the series might be familiar with the environment, as the story progresses into the immediate aftermath of Emergence Day, central to the franchise's world. The game has two new multiplayer modes for gamers to take advantage of in cooperative multiplayer gaming. 

"Terraria," on the other hand, is a larger version of a sandbox table. Players must guide their characters in surviving their environment by mining metals, crafting items, building homes, and battling enemies. Players can take on each other via player versus player modes or help each other out in cooperative gaming. 

For the latter part of the month, April 16 to 30, there will also be two games available for Xbox 360. In "Assassin's Creed: Black Flag," gamers take on the role of Edward Kenway in a fantasy pirate world set in the Caribbean, with plenty of ship-to-ship action and swashbuckling adventures.

Also, the title "Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel" will be available. The game is a third-person shooter that pits two players cooperatively against a drug cartel. 

There are also games available all month for players of Xbox One. These games are "Child of Light," where it chronicles the journey of Aurora in the world of Lemuria; and "Pool Nation FX," a billiards simulation game that offers excellent graphics, different rule sets, and Trickshot editor, exclusive to the Xbox One version.
