Superhot headlines Xbox's free Games with Gold for March

Plus: Trials of the Blood! Dragon Brave! Quantum Conundrum!

March's Xbox Games with Gold offerings include the Eurogamer recommended Superhot for Xbox One, available from 16th March until 15th April.

"Digital violence has never been so intoxicating - but there's more here than mere slaughter," Christian Donlan wrote in our Superhot review, when it launched two years ago. It's a strategy-filled neon shooter where time only moves when you do, and one not to be missed.

Elsewhere, the puzzle platformer Quantum Conundrum is available via Xbox 360 backwards compatibility. It's a bit like Portal, which is no surprise considering the fact it comes from Portal creator Kim Swift. You can nab it between 16th and 31st March.

Then there's Brave, the game of the so-so Pixar film, and Trials of the Blood Dragon, a mash-up of the Trials stunt biking series with Ubisoft's wacky Far Cry spin-off. Brave is free from the 1st to 15th March, while Trials is available from 1st March to 31st.
