Meanwhile, the free offer is limited to Xbox Live Gold subscribers.
In addition to December's Games With Gold lineup, all Xbox Live Gold subscribers on both generations of Xbox consoles -- plus the Xbox -- can download a game some may remember playing back in , but many will remember skipping because reviews of the game were divisive, to say the least. More specifically, for an unspecified amount of time, all Xbox Live Gold subscribers can download Port Royale 3 for free.
Noire has developer Rockstar on the box, but the third-person shooting and thievery made famous in the Grand Theft Auto series play a very small part in this period piece. Largely an investigation and dialogue-driven adventure game, L. Where L. Noire shines is in its complicated rock-paper-scissors interviewing system, which makes use of performance-capture faces that allow the player to pick up on visual cues to determine if a suspect is lying or telling the truth.
Correctly determining when someone is trying to mislead you and pointing to the evidence in your notebook is incredibly fulfilling, and calling them out on a lie only to walk back your accusation and apologize two seconds later allows for some brilliant, unintended comedy.

The Splinter Cell series has undergone its share of makeovers since it began in , gradually changing from no-frills espionage into the character-driven revenge tale we saw in Splinter Cell Conviction.
Blacklist also saw the return of cooperative missions, as well as the unique Spies versus Mercs competitive multiplayer mode, which is as addictive and chaotic as ever. No piece of the game feels like an afterthought — instead, they work harmoniously to create one of the most complete games we ever played, and one that is desperately in need of a sequel.

Enter the Animus to fly across rooftops and take down villainous Templars as Ezio Auditore, another ancestor of Desmond one of the main characters from the first game. Though later entries would certainly improve on some of its systems, ACII remains the tightest entry in the series with the best balance between crazy sci-fi and secret history.
After all, Ubisoft did decide to build an entire trilogy around Ezio. Visceral Games was there to fill that void, however, with Dead Space. The science-fiction horror game had all the tension of Resident Evil, and its Necromorphs were far removed from the zombies we had seen populating so many other games in the genre. What made Dead Space stand out from the pack, however, was its violence. Gruesome and unrelenting, failure to complete a section of the game — sometimes just by making a small mistake — would result in an animation showing protagonist Isaac killed in a gloriously over-the-top fashion.
Telltale Games earned a reputation over the last generation for its excellent story-based adventure games, covering franchises like Borderlands and Batman with great success, but it was The Walking Dead that helped elevate the studio to superstardom. The grim, emotional tale of Lee Everett and the young girl Clementine helped to separate the game from the other action-packed zombie games on the market, and Telltale had the guts to kill one of its leads in the finale, even as the second season continued the storyline.

The stylish action game features the same frenetic combat and grotesque enemy design as the original four titles, but its grounded characters and macabre tone was more in line with contemporary design trends than we had seen before.
Dante is still a smartass, but his emotions no longer feel exaggerated, and the supporting cast around him fits the story perfectly. Though DmC drops the action to 30 frames per second instead of the usual 60, you can hardly tell in the heat of combat. Read our full Tomb Raider review.
Throwing you into the mountains of Colorado with dozens of races and challenges to complete, the game is a true open-world racer, allowing you make your own fun instead of forcing you down a narrow progression system.
The spectacle moments in Forza Horizon are among the best on the Xbox , at one point tasking you with racing an airplane to the finish line, with its trail swooping and twirling in the sky above you as you slam the pedal to the metal. Read our full Forza Horizon review. But it is when you throw another player into the mix that Evolution begins to shine. Read our full Trials Evolution review. Remedy Games developed a reputation for moody, atmospheric action games with an emphasis on sympathetic characters not found elsewhere in the genre, and its long-delayed Alan Wake is perhaps the best example of this.
The result was Castlevania: Lords of Shadow , a game that teased its more sinister themes throughout an engaging action-adventure game that, while spooky and incredibly entertaining, felt like a Castlevania in name only.
That changed, however, when players saw the ending, which completely changed how the rest of the game was viewed. Developer Starbreeze is best known for its intense first-person shooters such as The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay , so the emotional adventure game Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons came out of left field.
