News: Microsoft has revealed what new games we will receive for free in the month of January with two popular titles leading the charge into 2014.

2014 is almost upon us and Microsoft has just revealed what games they will be giving away in January with their “Games with Gold” promotion. For the month of January, we will be getting two great games with Sleeping Dogs as well as Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Beginning on January 1 and going through January 15, you will be able to download Sleeping Dogs for free. Then, beginning on January 16 and going through January 31, you will be able to download Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light for free.

Sleeping Dogs takes you to Hong Kong, a vibrant city whose exotic locations hide one of the most powerful and dangerous criminal organizations in the world: the Triads. You’ll play Wei Shen, an undercover cop trying to take down the Triads from the inside. You’ll have to prove yourself worthy as you fight your way up the organization, taking part in criminal activities without blowing your cover. In time, you will risk everything as the lines between truth, loyalty and justice become permanently blurred. In Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light you can team up with a friend or go at it alone as you traverse and solve deadly traps, fight hordes of undead enemies and collect over 60 artifacts and relics.

Are you excited to play any of these games? Tell us what you think below.
