We said in our 6.5/10 Dead Island review (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/317785/reviews/dead-island-review/): "This budget zombie thriller ain't too pretty but could manage to capture a cult following."
Toy Soldiers: Cold War (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/292838/toy-soldiers-cold-war-launches-assault-on-xbla/), the second Toy Soldiers game released via Xbox Live Arcade, takes on a 1980s theme with co-op gameplay and new mini games. It mixes first person combat with strategy elements.
Originally conceived as a limited-time promotion before being continued indefinitely (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/434437/xbox-360-games-with-gold-now-an-ongoing-benefit/), Games with Gold offers Xbox Live Gold subscribers two free games each month. Games downloaded via the promotion remain in that user's library permanently.
Microsoft has said that its Games with Gold initiative will make the jump to Xbox One (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/438375/free-games-with-gold-coming-to-xbox-one/) at some point in 2014.
