By Liezl Dunuan, Christian Post Contributor Tuesday, February 02, 2016

The month of February brings another set of free games that will be available for download for Xbox Live Gold members. According to a report in GameSpot, this month brings with it a total of five games that will be available for free.

The first game up for grabs is the "Hand of Fate" for the Xbox One, which will be available for download for the whole month of February. This action role-playing game has deck-building elements and a roguelike gameplay and was originally released in February 2015. The game has a current retail price of $19.99. The second game, "Sacred Citadel," will be available from February 1 to 15 only. It is for the Xbox 360. "Sacred Citadel" is also an action game, but is a sidescrolling brawling game. It retails for $9.99.

By the middle of the month, a new game will be available for the Xbox One and this will be the stealth video game called "Styx: Master of Shadows." This game is said to be a prequel of the 2012 "Of Orcs and Men" and is said to be set in the same world as the first game. Players get to control Styx, who is the first Goblin, who is out to steal the heart of the World-tree and discovers his true origins along the way. "Styx" will be available from February 16 to March 15. The game sells for $29.99.

The fifth game, Zheros, is actually one that has been available for free since January 16. The action brawler game is available until February 15 for the Xbox One.
