February 2018’s Free Games With Gold for Xbox One/Xbox 360

Microsoft recently announced which games will be available to download for through the Games With Gold program in February on the Xbox Wire blog, and fans of chaotic car stunts should be pleased.

Shadow Warrior, a “juvenile” first person shooter,” and Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India, a side-scrolling spinoff of Ubisoft’s history-spanning saga, will be available for the Xbox One. Xbox 360 owners will be able to download Split/Second, a “Reality TV” racer, and Crazy Taxi, a re-release of Sega’s arcade classic.

I spent a lot of time playing Crazy Taxi in my youth, and it’s still pretty great today. It’s a great game to pass the controller and get a whole crowd involved in a game that’s technically only playable by one person.
