NEWS: Games With Gold January 2014 - Sleeping Dogs and Lara Croft

Microsoft have revealed the games that will be temporarily free to download as part of their Games With Gold promotion.

Starting the new year off, the open-world gang warfare game Sleeping Dogs will be available starting January 1 until January 16 - you take control of Wei Shen who must make it through numerous rivalries with both violent and deadly gangs, as well as dealing with his own personal issues. Tackling missions in a very GTA-style, players are encouraged to take advantage of what the game offers you - lots of action, as well as a compelling narrative.

Then, starting January 16 until January 31, Xbox LIVE Gold subscribers will be given Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light - a departure from the familiar Tomb Raider aesthetic, Guardian of Light instead makes use of isometric camera angles, making for a new style of gameplay, whilst still containing puzzles and action aspects players have become attuned to.
