Free games on xbox live

Microsoft is kissing ass for the rest of the year and are apparently letting you download 2 "selected" free games a month starting now.

please post news on these games as you find out which ones become available.

Fable 3 is now free

Is this to make up for the "daily online check-in / DRM" debacle that they summarily flip-flopped on?

Either way, kudos for you XBL peeps. (Been rockin' the PS3, m'self. Wasn't keen on the XBL business model.)

360 or PC?
It's the only way that they'll sell 360s now that it's getting close to the Xbox One launch date. I'd expect Sony to be doing the same if they haven't already.

Standard marketing practice.

I'd expect Sony to be doing the same if they haven't already.

Ever since the h4xx0ring debacle for Sony's online service, and subsequent revamping, their PlayStation Plus membership (the paid membership for online) has offered all kinds of freebies, both in the way of AAA titles and cool indie games.

Yup, but I'd still expect them to offer more than usual over the next few months.

(And yes, you're probably also right that MS is sucking up at the moment)

I will be moving to psn soon, already even claimed my network id.

its pretty fuxed up how you have to do a google search to find out what games ms is giving away on the xbox live, you would think there would be a add or something when you boot up your console. LAME

 

[Georgie_Porgie]

Aren't they giving away games only to Xbox live gold members? Funny thing can't even login without message "It appears you've found a glitch in the system" to subscribe. Already own Fable 3 on PC so meh

Anyway found on google that Assassin's Creed 2 will be free on 16 July

OMFG

Ok last month xbox tells the world, "were giving 2 games away for free each month until xbone comes out."

that sounded cool, but wait!

They only allocate 2 days out of each month wgere gold members can DL a free game..wtf? so if your not ready or unaware ahead of time you miss out....so much bullshit.

anyways i got the first free game, fable3.

[cyborgironside]

AC2 is the best game in the series.

 

[cyborgironside]

edit... woah this forum is getting glitchy.

move along to next post

Yeah it is kinda out of the ordinary plot how it has you go back in time to fight the Illuminati while they were a young secret society. Usually in recent times main stream media tries to promote the knights of the Templar and their ransacking of the ransacked ancient israel as good guys but this game says fuck that their bad guys.

I lol at the plot. Like I said, out of the ordinary.
