Games with Gold Delivers a Happy Holiday Season

Somehow, it’s already December 1, and that means it’s time for another month of free games for Xbox Live Gold members via Games with Gold.

Reminder: All Xbox 360 games in the Games for Gold promotion also work on Xbox One in Backward Compatibility mode too. So Xbox One users with Xbox Live Gold subscriptions are technically getting at least four free games each month.

    <p> I'm surprised to see CHILD OF EDEN on this list. Perhaps the rumors were true that some legacy Kinect enabled games were coming to the XBOX One. If that is the case, we SO need KINECT PARTY to be ported. One of the best Kinect party games, especially for kids. </p>
