It is already February, and that could only mean that all of the new free games for the Microsoft Xbox Live with Gold are now available.
According to Classicalite, for this month, Xbox 360 Gold members will be getting "Sniper Elite: V2" and "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons," while Xbox One users will be getting the new multiplayer sensation, "#IDARB."
GameStop is currently offering gamers a 12-month Xbox Live Gold subscription for only $40, which is a massive price mark-down from its original $60 tag. Once purchased, the website will send gamers a code that will be used for redeeming the discounted subscription, either through the console or through Xbox.com.
The good news is that this massive price mark-down is the ultimate opportunity for those who want to start an exclusive Xbox Live Gold membership. The bad news is that the deal is only available for Xbox users in the United States.
Franchise Herald reports that the regular price of "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons" is actually $14.99. Thankfully for Xbox 360 console owners who are Live Gold members, they can play the game for free. The title is a pretty good choice for game as it was awarded as Best Xbox Game at Spike VGX, as well as Best Innovation from BAFTA back in 2013, the report says.
"#IDARB," according to Pop Culture Blog, is a weird game but highly entertaining. It is an acronym for "It Draws A Red Box," because that is precisely how the game started out. Its developers doodled a red box, then asked the Internet what the game should do next. Players have described the game as an addictive experience that will continue to evolve.
The website also described "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons" as short, but very impactful, as it makes use of the game mechanics in order to more effectively and interestingly tell the story. Cinema Blend said, as reported by Franchise Herald, that the players are tasked to control two boys who travel across the world in order to find a remedy to save their father's life.
To make the game more interesting, the two brothers can be controlled simultaneously. The left analog stick controls one brother, while the right stick controls the other.
"Sniper Elite V2" prides itself in being recognized as one of today's most realistic sniper games in the market. The key is in being stealthy, just as it would be in a real-life scenario. There is a World War II vibe to it, and the gamer needs to take into account a lot of things, such as the shooter's distance from the target and wind speed.
Christian Today says that the game is usually purchased at $29.99. However, Xbox Live with Gold members can download it for free from Feb. 15 to 28.
