Toy Soldiers: Cold War, Dead Island free for Xbox Live Gold members

4.4
Microsoft's Major Nelson has announced next month's lineup of free games for Xbox Live Gold members, revealing that subscribers can expect to receive free copies of Toy Soldiers: Cold War and Dead Island in February.

Signal Studios' Xbox Live Arcade strategy game Toy Soldiers: Cold War includes a series of tower defense-styled battles featuring miniature foot soldiers and combat vehicles. Dead Island, a 2011 retail release from Techland, is a first-person action game that challenges players to survive a zombie invasion at an island resort, with help from friends via online cooperative play.

As with previous Games With Gold program releases, both Dead Island and Toy Soldiers: Cold War are free for users to keep once they are downloaded, even after associated Xbox Live Gold memberships expire. New games are added to the service on the 1st and 16th of each month.

xCrank I'm pretty sure this is for Xbox 360 I wish I had a Xbox 360, my first Xbox console is the Xbox One as soon as I get the money to purchase a Xbox 360 I will do so, but that's also really cool about Xbox 360 how they give out a FREE games once in a while that's a feature I've never seen on the PS3.


PS3 actually has a feature like games for gold, but I don't think they release every month, but they have more recent and better games though. I don't have PS+ on my ps3, but you can see what games you can get for free and they are pretty decent games.

You can't go wrong with dead island, one of the best zombie games out there.If you like it, then go try out farcry 3 as well.

It's worth picking up a cheap 360 if you can. Also here's a tip for you, seeing as you don't own a 360 yet but you still want to get the free games right? Well, ask a friend who has a 360 to set up an account for you on their console for now, you'll have to buy Xbox live gold to get the free games but you have a Xbox one so I'm guessing you already do. Once the account is set up OR just use your current account as it can be used on 360 and Xbox Ones, just log in via Xbox.com every month and choose the free games to download next time you sign in on your console (they get added to a download que and to your download history so they'll be yours forever). Try not to use the account until you get a 360 console yourself, then when you do, you should have a whole heap of free games already downloading! Yay!


If you need any help just ask.

Also FYI, ps3 has ps+ which has a instant game collection.

Brandyy Sweet! I already own Dead Island for PS3 but I've always wanted it for Xbox!


Dead Island is a great game, much more enjoyable when you're playing with someone though!
