As February comes to a close, Microsoft has revealed the free games that will be coming to Xbox Live Gold members in March. This is part of its Free Games With Gold promotion and only applies to Xbox Live Gold users on Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Xbox One players will start the month off with Trials of the Blood Dragon, a spin-off of the Trials franchise which incorporates more action elements. It will be available from March to 31st. On March 16 till April 15, Superhot will become the next free game. This indie first person shooter features the novel concept of time only moving when you do, allowing for complex plays of bullet-dodging, kitana throwing and outright massacre.

For Xbox 360 gamers – which are also available to Xbox One players with backwards compatibility – there’s Brave: The Video Game, an adaptation of Disney’s film. This will be available from March 1st to 15th. Quantum Conundrum, a puzzle title from Kim Swift of Portal fame, will be out on March 16th till 31st.

It’s February and that means some new free games on Xbox One and Xbox 360 courtesy of Xbox Live’s Games With Gold offer.

Xbox One users receive hit indie title Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime which will be free all month. Xbox 360 owners will gain Monkey Island 2: Special Edition till February 15th.

Thanks to the Xbox One’s backwards compatibility feature, the latter will be available for Xbox One players as well. If that wasn’t enough, then you can still pick up Killer Instinct: Season 2 until February 15th on Xbox One.

From February 15th till March 16th, Project CARS will be available for free on Xbox One while Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will be free on Xbox 360 from February 16th to 28th. Overall, not a bad selection for Xbox Live Gold subscribers this month.

What are your thoughts on the free games this month? Let us know in the comments below.

It seems that’s far from the case, as Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb recently tweeted that no release date was given for the release of either game.

FAQ: “Halo 3” and “Assassin’s Creed II" were mentioned as part of the program – no date was given for their release http://t.co/vjnE1sBAYj

Instead, Defence Grid: The Awakening will be the first “Free Game With Gold” this month, which will be yours to keep permanently. Feeling satisfied?

It’ll be interesting to see what Microsoft has to say about this given how the words “to kick off the program” were used so explicitly in the E3 presser for Halo 3 and Assassin’s Creed II. Or maybe these games were mentioned at the presser to generate enthusiasm since Microsoft knew no one would care about Defence Grid?
