Xbox Live Games with Gold April games revealed

News: For the month of April Xbox Live Gold members will be receiving a AAA Xbox 360 title as well as an XBLA game.

Major Nelson has revealed what two games Xbox Live Gold members will be receiving in the month of April with one of them being a full blown Xbox 360 retail game and the other one being on Xbox Live Arcade. Beginning tomorrow, Hitman: Absolution will be the free game for Xbox Live Gold members and you will have two weeks to download it. Then on April 16, Xbox Live Gold members will get the XBLA game Deadlight for free. That game will remain free until May 1.

Hitman: Absolution follows Agent 47, a cold blooded assassin, who takes on his most dangerous contract to date. Betrayed by those he trusted and hunted by the police, he finds himself at the center of a dark conspiracy and must embark on a personal journey through a corrupt and twisted world, in his search for truth.

Deadlight is set in an apocalyptic world in 1986 on the US Pacific Coast. Randall, our hero, is alone, introverted and slightly paranoid. His enemies are hordes of the undead and they react as a swarm to the player’s presence. They are a threat alone, deadly in groups. Your priority is in dividing their packs. But be careful, the environment is a character itself; there are deadly traps and a misstep means death.

Which game are you looking forward to playing the most out of these two? Check out a trailer for each game below and tell us what you think. Which games would you like to see for the month of May?
