February Games With Gold Features Zombies And Toys
Microsoft has announced the two titles to be offered at no additional charge to Xbox Live Gold members. The offerings include the undead and tiny toys.
From February 1 through 15, Deep Silver’s Dead Island will be available for Xbox Live Gold members to download. The second half of the month will feature Signal Studios’ Toy Soldiers: Cold War.
Once downloaded, Xbox Games with Gold are yours even if you cancel your subscription. As a reminder, this is your last day to download Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.

Our Take
If you’re going to play Dead Island (and you should if you haven’t), I strongly suggest the mobile map app. It was one of the first second-screen experiences and a great way to track collectibles.
Toy Soldiers: Cold War is an extremely amusing RTS that moves the series from a World War I setting to the '80s. I can’t vouch for the upcoming Rambo game, but playing as the bandana-wearing bada** is a lot of fun here.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
