Got a little spare cash sitting in your wallet? Fancy buying a new game? Well, the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale is your best chance of grabbing some superb games at even better prices. But which of the multitude of Xbox games discounted over the next week or so are worth picking up, and which are worth leaving well alone? We take a look at the good, the bad and the ugly of the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 11th-17th September 2018. 

If you're going to pour your heart and soul into becoming the very best train driver you possibly can, then you'll only be happy once you are found travelling the length and breadth of the entire country in the process. Today, those wishing to visit lands afar in Train Sim World on Xbox One can do so. West Somerset anyone?

San Andreas is the place to be this week - especially if you want new cars and discounts galore. 

It may have just been a few short weeks ago that we heard of news surrounding MudRunner 2, but that doesn't mean that Spintires: MudRunner is dead and today details and release dates have become known for the upcoming American Wilds expansion. 

If you're prepared to start at the very bottom and work hard to make your way to the top of the racing scene, then Super Street is your game. 

Summer is over and the nights will soon be drawing in. What better time than now to grab a few bargain games from the Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale and get your stashed saved up for those rainy winter days. Well, there is no better time and right now we see the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale hit home once more, delivering all manner of Xbox One and Xbox 360 bargains our way. But what is on that list? Well, how does the following sound?

Can you guess which manufacturer the focus is on with the latest content addition for Project Cars 2? Yep that's right, it's time to tame the prancing horse, jump behind the wheel of a number of new cars and hit the apexes of a couple of tracks with the Ferrari Essentials pack for Project Cars 2. 

If there's treasure to be found and enemies to be despatched then there is only one team for the job - the Strange Brigade. And today the ranks of the weirdest group of no hopers to ever head off on an adventure has grown, with the addition of the Texas Cowboy to its ranks. 

It was great while it lasted but now summer 2018 is officially over. But even though the sun may not shine quite so bright, and the days are rapidly getting shorter, the additions to the Rocksmith library continue to flow. And this time round, with the addition of the fifth 90s Mix Pack, we see the fading summer days warmly embraced. 

It's not officially due to release until the 14th September, but should you wish to gear up and hit the ice early, then the release of the NHL 19 Ultimate and Legend Editions will see you right. 

Big fan of Tales of Vesperia? It's not just you and after an overwhelming amount of fan demand, we find Bandai Namco bowing to the pressure and confirming the release date of the Definitive Edition of the game.

If you like your fighters, then Dead or Alive 6 will no doubt be pinging up on your radar. Today, that ping gets a bit faster, a bit louder and a bit more prominent as the worldwide release date has become known. 

Since MX vs ATV All Out released in March of 2018, players have become accustomed to seeing the odd bit of DLC arrive. In fact, in those months there has been a steady slew of new vehicles arrive in the game, giving racers the chance to show off their skills with a variety of bikes and quads. Now though another content addition is with us... and this one brings us tracks galore!

One of my very favourite games of all time is Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee. The biggest compliment I can pay Planet Alpha is that it reminds me hugely of that game. But like that adventure of Abe’s, this puzzling platformer falls just short of utter greatness.

If you like action, love adventure and adore a bit of Zelda, then you are going to fall head over heels for Shalnor Legends: Sacred Lands.
