Microsoft’s ongoing Games with Gold program will replace its current offering of free games to Gold subscribers for a fresh batch of four titles split evenly between the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. This means you have most of this week to add Borderlands, Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments, Lords of the Fallen, and Supreme Commander 2 to your game libraries before they’re swapped out for four brand new titles on April 1st.

Aprils Games with Gold begins with Telltale’s Fables adaptation The Wolf Among Us for Xbox One (available April 1-30) and Dead Space for the Xbox 360 (April 1-15). Insomniac’s colorfully apocalyptic third-person shooter Sunset Overdrive will follow on the Xbox One in mid-April (April 15-May 15), while the 360 gets Saints Row IV (April 16-30).

It’s a little confusing, sure, but Microsoft has made it even more worthwhile by making the Xbox 360 freebies playable on the Xbox One, so owners of the latter are effectively getting four free games.

Also, they’re free games. What’s to complain about that?

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
