On Friday last week, Mike Nelson, Xbox wire editor of the Xbox blog revealed the titles of the free games coming this May for Xbox Games with Gold subscribers. Nelson promises its players a month full of adventure, combat, and mystery with the list of games it has in store for members. Additionally, owners of the Xbox One console are in for more treat, as they get to enjoy all four games through Microsoft's backward compatibility.

From May 1 until May 30, players can enjoy "Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams – Director's Cut" on Xbox One. The platform game allows players to navigate through 33 different levels as they solve puzzles and battle with different enemies and bosses.

On the other hand, "Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris" is available from May 16 until June 15 on Xbox One. The action-adventure sequel allows players to work together in solving puzzles, exploring temples, avoiding traps, and fighting enemies from the Egyptian era.

Meanwhile, "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" is going to be available for both Xbox 360 and Xbox One users from May 1 to May 15. The game explores the setting in between "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" and "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope."
