Microsoft has announced the free games it is serving up next month for Xbox Live Games With Gold members, with an all-time classic headlining the show.
Gears of War 2 will be free for Xbox 360 and Xbox One (via backward compatibility) from February 16-29 (via Major Nelson). Epic Games’ sci-fi-based third-person shooter was designed by legendary developer Cliff Bleszinski.
The game, which was released in 2008 and earned a 9/10 score from TrustedReviews at the time, is usually $19.99. Now it is part of a package of free games worth $75 (around £52), available during February.
Elsewhere, action RPG Hand of Fate will be available free for the entire month of February, while the side-scrolling brawler Sacred Citadel can be downloaded during the first two weeks of the month.
From February 16-March 15, the stealth infiltration game Styx: Master of Shadows (valued at $29.99) is also a freebie.
