The bottom line:

We have a total of 3400 Gamerscore this month, and if you would have to buy the games individually you would have to pay a total of $79.96. 
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is a fantastic game, it is 3 years old now, but still relevant and fun to play. The game is huge with hundreds of hours of gameplay before completion
Super Mega Baseball is a brand new game and looks solid for a arcade style baseball game. Vanquish and the Vintage Collection are relative old as the 360 games naturally are.
