GAMING NEWS

This month's free Xbox Live games are:

 

Crackdown and

Dead Rising 2

 

One's a great third person GTA-esque, character developing game and the other is a zombie infested hell where anything is a weapon. If you haven't played either of these games then get on it because they're absolutely free. Adamj gives you the news here.

 

 

Good news! The Xbox One will function without the Kinect! You will not need it to play! It's good because I don't want one. Check out Adamj's post here.
