Technomancer, Pandemic’s Star Wars Battlefront II Among April’s Xbox Games With Gold

Microsoft has revealed the roster for April’s Games With Gold, which skews heavily toward the sci-fi end of the spectrum. 

First up is The Technomancer, an RPG that Reiner wrote about a while ago in his column. The Xbox One game is available throughout the month of April. Starting April 16, players can download the action-adventure game Outcast – Second Contact set in – you guessed it – a sci-fi inspired open world.

The Xbox version of Pandemic’s Star Wars Battlefront II is coming April 15 via backward compatibility, followed a day later by the Xbox 360 game Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2.

All told, Microsoft says we’re looking at a total value of about $110. If nothing else, it’s worth it just to see the temporary confusion from people who are expecting something else.
