Let’s be honest, many of the Games With Gold  for the Xbox 360 offerings have been met with derision due to the age of the games that many would already have got. Halo 3 being a prime example of this.
However, it appears that Microsoft are starting to bring more recent titles to the service, with 2014 kicking off with a trip to Hong Kong courtesy of Sleeping Dogs, followed by Lara Croft & The Guardian Of Light. As usual each game will be available to get for a period of two weeks.
Sleeping Dogs is available from tomorrow, January 1st until January 15th, while Lara Croft & The Guardian Of Light will be on offer from January 16th until the 31st.

It’s still months after Sleeping Dogs was free for PS+ers.

Wonder if Microsoft are hindered in some way by giving the games away, as in they’re yours to keep, not just ‘rented’ to you like PS+?

Are they yours to keep though? If you cancel or don’t renew your gold membership do you lose access to the games in the same way you do with PS+

Good start to the year, hopefully the quality & age of the games continues like this.

I was hoping they would start Xbone version of games for gold in January as they said it will come some time soon. Just a cheap game would be good.
Anyway it beats the rubbish they’ve chucked out before.

Blimey! A half decent relatively recent game on Games with Gold! Both Games already been given with PS+ though.
