February's Games with Gold Announced - Project CARS, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime

Microsoft has pulled back the curtain on February's selection of Games with Gold, which kicks off with co-op madness in Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime then brings realistic racing sim action with Slightly Mad's pretty damn fine Project CARS.

That's your Xbox One picks, but what of Xbox 360, dammit? You know what? It's a really strong pair of games for February, with seminal point-and-click sequel Monkey Island 2: Special Edition for the first half of the month, and then Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the latter part. It's a Lucasarts double!

Of course, these Xbox 360 games are backward compatible as always, so that means four games to play on your Xbox One. Hooray. Check out the upcoming Games with Gold here.

  • This pains me to ask but is this site dying off?
  • It's just a slow news time of the year. Everything has been announced that will be until E3 more than likely. When we get to E3, there will be a lot of news, but still few releases. Things will seem slow right after the crazy holiday season.
  • Nice list. I'm getting the rest of the cheevos for Star Wars.
  • The 360 games are usually good when they're not arcade titles but damn, no love for the One titles they're giving out here.
  • Star Wars? Cool!
  • Will get lovers (the game!!) I couldn't bring myself to do star wars again when the last 2 collectibles glitched on me and wouldn't show up and board never to play it again
  • @5 My thoughts exactly. @6 Why not get both.. literally speaking of course ;)
  • Nothing for me. Already 100% both 360 games, and I'm sick to death of them dumping racing games on us all time. Lovers might be cool, but can't say it's something I care to play. TBH, GwG has been garbage for a while now, if it keeps this up, I'm probably not going to renew my subscription, because the games are the main reason I've kept it going, as I don't play online much anymore.
  • 3 out 4 for me not tried or dont own so always good. I accept every free game offered even if i have the disc, never know if you might wanna try something one day.
  • How long has force unleashed been out? That's how long I've wanted to play it or the sequel, yet somehow never seen it at a price that made me actually want to fork out the cash to get it. No excuse as of feb 16th
  • Fancied Project Cars for a while but got Forza Horizon 3 a couple weeks ago. Probably going to sit in my back catalogue for a while. Solid line up this month though.
  • The Force Unleashed? Man I can't wait to pick that game up for 10 minutes and be reminded why I put it down. Lol. Nah, I'm excited to jump back know I to it.
  • Nice. 4 games I don't have is always a good thing. I think I may have played Monkey Island back in the day on the PC, but I can't remember. Either way, will be playing it this time around.
  • @2 nah there's still several things happening up to E3 that will have news worthy stuff
  • Will probably get Star Wars for old times sake and I'm interested in Project Cars, couldn't care less about the other 2 games
  • Nice one! 4 games I haven't played or paid for before, great month :D
  • I got Force Unleashed last May when It was $5. Nice to see MI2 on here. Now I can play both finally. Not Crazy about the Xbone titles, but Will sure try 'em.
  • @11 exactly what i was thinking :P
  • Force Unleashed is awesome, except the ONLY cheev i was never able to get was for completing it on the hardest difficulty. I'm not going to lie, it haunts me still.
  • Excited to see star wars. How was Project Cars?
  • Lovers is a game I've looked at in the past. So now it's gonna be free is a bonus. Monkey Island 2 for free is awesome. Not long finished the first game. Star Wars doesn't interest me. Played it for about 20 minutes not long after release and got bored quickly. Project Ars didn't do it for me either. But overall a decent mix of genres.
  • Awesome. Gonna be a good month. Well, for me anyway. I've always wanted to try LIADST. Been itching to play Force Unleashed again. Also, everyone should play Monkey Island.
  • Might finally finish off TFU..
  • I completed "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" 100% quite a while ago. I played the game on Sith Lord difficulty the first time (and I highly suggest defeating Darth Vader on the first playthrough - regardless of difficulty setting)... and defeating Palpatine on Sith Master difficulty). Vader was VERY difficult to beat on Sith Lord difficulty... I can't imagine what it would have been like on Sith Master difficulty!!! Two of the DLC is required for 100% completion. The 3rd one is optional, if only just to play it. The game is a lot of fun! I still need to play the second game. Maybe they'll make it free in March?!! :)
  • I've been wanting to play lovers with some friends..super happy with that one.
  • @9 If your going to complain about games there giving you...FOR FREE! that pays for your 1 year sub with xbl x5 then by all means GTFO. There doing a fantastic job with every game they bring.....WTF DO YOU EXPECT? MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDA TO BE FREE 2 WEEKS AFTER LAUNCH WITH GWG? get ahold of your self.
  • I think the problem with Lovers is, that it kinda requires a coop partner but only has local coop. That will put it off for a lot of people. Its the same with Overcooked. I would really like to play that game, but I think it will be too much frustration to play by yourself after the initial couple easy levels.
  • @27 - Woah! Easy there, fella. He's entitled to his opinion.
  • Loved project cars visually but controls were flawed
