Surprising nobody but pleasing many, Microsoft’s Games with Gold September line-up<\/a> has the company reinforcing an exclusivity deal of utmost important to the Xbox One’s fall line-up. Get ready to know Lara Croft’s name once again.<\/p>\n

Xbox One Games with Gold September 2015<\/h2>\n

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (free from Sept. 16 – Oct. 15)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This reboot of the classic adventure series made waves back in 2013 on the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. It gave eager players a kook at the early life of tomb raider Lara Croft, making an earnest and mostly successful attempt at showing her transformation from an unsure young woman to a stone-cold adventurer. She also murdered a whole bunch of people along the way.\u00a0Tomb Raider\u00a0put<\/em>\u00a0an overwhelming emphasis on action in the same vain as the\u00a0Uncharted\u00a0<\/em>series before it.<\/p>\n

\"Tomb<\/a><\/p>\n

The Definitive Edition on the Xbox One ups the frame rate to 60 fps and touches up the visuals a bit. Mostly, though, it serves as a segue into this year’s true followup,\u00a0Rise of the Tomb Raider<\/em>, an Xbox One exclusive for at least a year. Now that’s marketing! (Microsoft made the original game an Xbox 360 freebie back in March<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Deer God (free from Sept. 1 – 30)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I read a book called\u00a0Firebringer\u00a0<\/em>in my teens. People described it as the\u00a0Watership Down\u00a0<\/em>for deer. Because of this book, I want to play\u00a0Deer God<\/em>, and that’s before seeing a single screenshot or gameplay video. Upon further review, I still want to play it, because it’s a magical mixture of ridiculous, beautiful and weird.<\/p>\n
