Microsoft is expected to reveal its upcoming lineup of free games viaXbox Games with Goldin the coming the days, which means fan may want to download February’s selection before they’re gone. Fans can downloadTT: Isle of Manand the original Star Wars Battlefront by February 29, and they have until March 15 to downloadCall of Cthulhuas part ofFebruary Games with Gold.
This collection typically comes with two Xbox One Games, and either two Xbox 360 games or an Xbox 360 game and an original Xbox title. With a plethora of content in Microsoft’s backlog to choose from, here’s a few games that would make great additions as March’sXbox Games with Gold.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands (Xbox One)
Ubisoft has a strong presence in the program, as they are severalTom Clancy, Far Cry, andAssassin’s Creedtitles that grace it. One that doesn’t, however, isGhost Recon: Wildlands. It’s a tactical shooter where players are in Bolivia trying to take out a drug cartel, and it can be played with friends. ConsideringBreakpointwas almost universally panned, reminding fans of the best thatGhost Reconhas to offer wouldn’t be a bad idea. Plus, with Ubisoft pushing several AAA titles at the end of this year but not earlier, it would be a way for Microsoft and Ubisoft to keep these games in mind.
Another company has, in some ways, resurrected Telltale Games. It’s a different company acting under the same title, but while that is confusing enough, it hopefully leads to a resurrection of Telltale-style as well.The Wolf Among Us 2, for example, is now in development, and this could mean more Telltale games (which have frequently appeared on the lineup) in Games with Gold.
With the first two seasons available, addingThe Walking Dead: A New Frontierwould just add even more to the service. This game focuses on developing Clementine in a lot of ways, though they are not in control of her, but the ending could even see more look towardThe Walking Dead: The Final Season, as those who have played the first three season ought to stick around for the presumable end of Clementine’s Story.
The Darkness (Xbox 360)
Starbreeze Studios doesn’t have a presence on Xbox Games with Gold, but the perfect game to really bring the developer to attention would beThe Darknesson Xbox 360. It’s the biggest game in its catalog and tells a classic story that many will enjoy even if it their second or third playthrough. After all, it’s a unique story with a tried and true setting where formerGangster Jackie Estacado pursues revenge and love, all the while being inhabited by a powerful entity known as the Darkness.
Soul Calibur 2 (Xbox)
Much likeStarbreeze Studios, there’s not a lot of Bandai Namco properties on Games with Gold, butTekkenmeansSoul Caliburis possible.Soul Calibur 2is a critcally-acclaimed entry that debuted back on the original Xbox, PS2, and GameCube, and it features a solid roster, a classic fighting experience, and the wonderful Conquest Mode. Chances are, this would actually use the 2013 HD version, but regardless, it would be a solid addition despite its faults.
