Like previous months, Xbox Live Gold members will receive four free games during the month of October 2015 – two for Xbox 360 and two for Xbox One.
On Xbox One, Xbox Live Gold members can download Valiant Hearts: The Great War ($14.99) for free all month long during October. The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season ($24.99) will be available as a free download from October 16th to November 15th.
On Xbox 360, starting Thursday, October 1st, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes ($19.99) will be free for Xbox Live Gold members through October 15th. Then on October 16th, Xbox Live Gold Members can download The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season ($24.99) for free through October 31st.
Unfortunately, this is a bit of a double dip since Ground Zeroes was free on Xbox One in August 2015 and Season 1 Episode 1 of The Walking Dead has always been free, let alone the same game on both systems in one month. But, free is free and guess we shouldn’t complain.
I am really intrigued by Valiant Hearts. It’s always been one of those titles that I’ve wanted to get and always said “Well, maybe next paycheck” and then spent it on something else not remembering. The reviews of the game are interesting to read because it doesn’t sound like a traditional type of a game. I think that it is in part educational turns people off to an extent.
