Microsoft Game Studios have today announced a pair of previously-released video games set to be offered as free downloads in their Games for Gold service next month. Launched in the aftermath of E3 2013 in June, the Xbox 360 service offers subscribers to Xbox Live Gold two new products on a monthly basis for no charge.
In January, United Front Productions' Sleeping Dogs and Crystal Dynamics' Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light will be integrated into the service. The former open-world shooter is set to the backdrop of Tokyo for an action-packed blockbuster narrative, and earned a decent 6/10 rating at On-Screen upon its release last year. Guardian of Light, meanwhile, met with reasonable critical acclaim as a digital exclusive retail product in 2010, currently holding a 85% average score on Metacritic. It's promising to see that Microsoft are stepping up their game (no pun intended) with the service in 2014, after more than a few underwhelming 'presents' to fans in the second half of this year, and with Games for Gold confirmed to expand onto Xbox One next year, the potential for greater satisfaction still certainly exists!
Sleeping Dogs retails for free in the Games for Gold program on January 1st, and Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light follows on January 16th.
