May’s Games With Gold: Bunnies And Marital Aids
Microsoft has announced the two Xbox Live Games with Gold for May. As usual, it’s a pairing of one digital and one retail release.
For the first half of the month (May 1 - 15), Xbox Live Gold members can download Dust: An Elysian Tale. It’s a side-scrolling game in the Metroid vein featuring an anthropomorphic rabbit, a fairy, and a talking sword.
The second half of the month (May 16 - 31) brings Saints Row: The Third. This entry marked a firm change in the franchise to differentiate it from the Grand Theft Auto series.

Our Take
Saints Row: The Third salvages this month a bit, but it’s a three year old game. Good on Deep Silver for scoring another spot on Games with Gold, because this is likely to move some DLC for the publisher. My question: where are the Xbox One games?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
