Xbox Games With Gold December Leaked Titles Ranked

4. Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet

(Available from December 16th to 31st)

  • Release Date: 3 August 2011
  • Platforms: PC, Xbox 360

Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is a 2D shooter puzzle created by Shadow Planet Productions. This title features some really interesting graphics with a dark aesthetic made by Michel Gagné.

Although on a surface level, this game may seem simplistic and even lacklustre, after some time you can really appreciate how entertaining the title is despite not containing such a shock factor as modern titles.

2. Orcs Must Die!

(Available from December 1st to 15th)

  • Release Date: 5 October 2011
  • Platforms: PC, Xbox 360

Orcs Must Die! is an old-school popular tower defence variant title in which the player has to slay hordes of orcs, as well as other creatures in a variety of levels.

For its time, this game was extremely pleasing graphics-wise, bright and colourful as well as being 3D, it's definitely a classic on one I hold in high regard.

1. Tropico 5 Penultimate Edition

(Available from December 16th to January 15th)

  • Release Date: 23 May 2014
  • Platforms: PC

Tropico 5 is a management game, one which has been extremely successful with multiple titles released under the franchise.

Tropico 5 in particular was the first of the series to allow multiplayer gameplay, allowing players to either work with friends or go against them.

Building sims in general are are a win-win in my book, giving Tropico 5 the top spot.
