Microsoft has recently released the October list for Xbox Games with Gold, which allows gamers to download games each month for free, if they have a subscription. However, Microsoft's list this some around has a few gamers disappointed.

A report in the official Xbox blog describes 'Chariot' as follows:
"Chariot, the newest ID@Xbox game from Canadian developers Frima, is a couch co-op platformer that can be played alone or with a friend. Players take the role of the brave Princess or her faithful Fiancé as they maneuver the departed king's coffin-on-wheels through 25 levels set in five vibrant underground environments, with his majesty's ghost giving them a piece of his mind every step of the way. Filled to the brim with emergent physics-based gameplay, Chariot offers hours of exciting exploration, fast-paced ride sequences and mountains upon mountains of loot!"
'Crimson Dragon' remains on the list of free games for Xbox One Games With Gold for October for the third month in a row. 'Crimson Dragon' is a fantasy rail shooter game (imagine a shooting game that you have may have ever played in the arcade). The game has been described in the official Xbox Wire as below:
"Available Aug. 1-31, Crimson Dragon, originally an Xbox One launch title, and acts as a spiritual successor to the much-beloved Panzer Dragoon saga. It's a fast-paced rail shooter set in a beautiful fantasy world, where you can join with up to three other players for online co-op battles. You have half-dozen majestic draconian steeds to choose from, and they level up as you progress through the game's epic story. Crimson Dragon also features a killer soundtrack, courtesy of Panzer Dragoon composer Saori Kobayashi."
