Cool 4 games i dont own on xbox 1
Breakdown... Yeah!!!!
Dead Rising and KOF13! Good month
I have no idea if the original Dead Rising holds up but I have GREAT memories playing that back in the day, looking forward to giving it another shot
Ahhhhhh! I bought little nightmares a couple of weeks ago. It's not safe to buy games anymore. 😂
Happy for more people to get the chance to check out Little Nightmares.
It's not as perfect as something like Inside, but it has some brilliant moments that make it standout as a great game for me.
Very good update. Will download them all, for sure.
Kinda super happy about Little Nightmares
This is definitely a one of the better months for games with gold.. Decent lineup.
Not bad at all! I've always wanted to try DeadRising and King of Fighters but never wanted to spend money on them, and Little Nightmares and Breakdown look pretty cool
Wow, either they've finally listened to their target audience, or they decided for themselves that now might be a good time to offer us a solid pack of games, because this is definitely one of the best months since a LONG time. I always download all the free games, but this time, I'm genuinely happy with what's on offer.
I believe this is he first month since I subscribed where I actually want all four games! Most months I want one at most. Good stuff.
Can't say that I'm not impressed by January's GwG offerings. Dead Rising was a great game. I remember playing KoF at the local arcade and always enjoyed it. Never seen Little Nightmares in action, yet know of its existence. Breakdown was an awesome game, so very pleased to see it rise. Keep it up Microsoft:)
I hate the Dead Rising games. And I am only interested in Breakdown of the other three.
That's weird. I was literally thinking about Deadrising for some reason at my cleaning job a few hours ago (I think lot's of random thoughts at work because it's incredibly repetitive and boring and I'm on autopilot).
Oh KOF! Getting!
finally some decent games with gold
@djshep1973 Exact same with me! 😂 Was considering trying to get a refund. But then, by the time I get round to playing it, it'll probably be off GP. 😂
Not all of it is for me, but I've got to say that's a decent list of games. GwG has been dismal for quite some time, so it's almost jarring to see good stuff up there.
@djshep1973 The good news is the Control that was on the Black Friday sale was Control Ultimate, which will be getting the XSX/XSS upgrade patch included. The Control on Game Pass is the original release which won't be getting the XSX/XSS patch. I believe the Control that's on the Countdown (and PSN Year End sale) is the Game Pass one, so the BF deal was the best deal.
Yes, 505 made a mess of it.
@Ryu_Niiyama I read the list, though to myself "I bet Ryu...." And sure enough, there it is.
This is the first month in as long as I can remember that has some games I don't already own and actually care about. Already have Little Nightmares (and it's fantastic) but I really want these other 3. Nice.
@Tarps I remember trying to get the achievement where you Defeat at least 53,594 zombies. I used to go into the tunnels and run them over
Breakdown & Dead Rising look like fun. Not to sure about the other two
@NEStalgia What? I like fighting games and I cannot lie!
