XBox One Gold games list is pretty weak going into the holiday weekend

If you are looking for great deals for Gold on XBox One this week, you are probably in for a shock as XBox One's free games and deals list is pretty anemic.

For free games, you have Trackmania Turbo til 12/1, The Turning Test til 11/16, and Nights into Dreams (XBox 360). Deadfall premiers 11/16.

Deals with gold is almost as bad as a rummage sale but there are a couple of redeemers. 

Sebastian Leob Rally EVO is a cheap Dirt 4 knockoff that is generously priced at $12

WRC 6 FIA World Ralley Championship is a really decent Rally Car sim that is akin to Dirt 4 and is a great deal for $15.

Flockers is a hilariously fiendish A to B puzzle game where sending sheep to their doom is your key responsibility. It is also on a sale from $29.99 to just 5 bucks!

Not a Hero : Super Snazzy Edition is a pixelated game where British action and humor reign. It is easily the best deal at just $3.25... less than a Big Mac.

If you need a quick fix before the holiday season, these games may help. Look for bigger deals in the coming weeks.
