Xbox 'Games with Gold' August 2014 preview: Free awesome games for members with Xbox 360 and Xbox One consoles

Xbox is definitely putting up a fight when it comes to their free games for members. Many have said that Sony's PS Plus gives away better games, but Microsoft does not agree. For the August selection, Games with Gold members are treated to two awesome free games.

For Xbox 360 and Xbox One owners, there are two games available for download. These are completely free with your Games with Gold subscription.

For the Xbox 360, the game available from August 1 to August 15 is "Motocross Madness," which is priced at $9.99. The other game that will be available from August 16 to August 31 is Bethesda's "Dishonored," which is originally priced at $19.99.

"Motocross Madness" is an off-road motorcycle racing game where players can race in obstacle courses and perform tricks. "Dishonored" is a stealth action game, wherein the player's task is to save the princess, gain control of the empire and doing these undetected. Players will have gadgets, weapons and magical powers.

For the Xbox One, the two games available for the month of August are "Crimson Dragon" and "Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut." Both are priced at $19.99 each. These games will replace "Guacamelee! Super Championship Edition" and "Max: The Curse of the Brotherhood."

"Crimson Dragon" is a game where players control a dragon and fight with enemy life forms. The player can train the dragon and add new skills to it. Meanwhile, the "Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut" is a game where the player joins in fleet battles to save the Earth.

All games are available for a limited time only, so make sure you grab them on time. Once you have the game, you can keep it forever. In addition, all games are free for the Xbox One games. However, you should be an Xbox Live Gold member to be able to download Xbox 360 games for free.
