Xbox Live with Gold free games for January 2015; Xbox games end of year sale

Xbox has revealed the new roster of free games that Xbox Live with Gold subscribers can download this January.  

At the start of the first day of the month, Xbox One owners will be able to download "D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die." The independently developed adventure game centers on the journey a time traveling investigator to stop his wife's death by solving her murder before it happens. He will be able to do it by going back to the past and discovering artifacts known as "mementos" to unravel the truth about his wife's death. The "D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die" game is normally sold for $14.99, but Xbox Live with Gold subscribers can get it for free. 

Meanwhile, Xbox 360 can download the racing game "MX vs ATV Alive" from Jan. 1 to 15. This game, which is usually sold for $14.99, features different racing events such as supercross, motocross, and off-road freestyle events. Players of this game have the option of using dirt bikes or four-wheel ATVs that have their own controls and appearance. 

Then from Jan. 16 up to 31, those who own an Xbox 360 console can get "The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings" without having to pay $29.99. The game is described as "massive, combat and story-filled RPG [that's] filled with backstory, deep characters, and plenty of side-quests that will educate you on the nature of the world and the goings-on therein. More importantly, though, The Witcher 2 is an incredibly in-depth game, offering potentially hundreds of hours of gameplay, oodles of character customization options, and countless weapons, armor pieces, and other loot."
