After a few months of some decent freebies for Xbox Live Gold Members, Xbox’s October Games with Gold seems to have taken a step back with some pretty old offerings. Don’t get me wrong, The Walking Dead: Season 1 was pretty fantastic, and I’ve heard great things about Valiant Hearts, but it just doesn’t scream “sweet!” like a few games from the past couple months. Hopefully Xbox has something great planned for November when all Xbox 360 Games With Gold offerings are supposed to start being backwards compatible and playable on the Xbox One.
Let’s check out what Xbox Live Gold members can snag for free in the month of October, and don’t forget to grab September’s Games With Gold before they disappear!
