Games with Gold

If I add these to my download queue will I be able to play them in a month or 2? Hard drive is full and I don't have much time at the moment, so I won't be able to properly download these for a few weeks.

Once you "purchase" them, you own them forever, meaning that you can download them at any time in the future.

I've been adding them to my console on Xbox.com, and only downloading what I want to download.

Mickeroo · 16-08-2013 12:49pm

Hadn't realised that, thought I could only download them in the two week window.

When I first played Dead Rising many years ago, it was fun - tried DR2 you can get since last weekend, it was just... I dunno, boring?

Doodlebug · 19-08-2013 4:12pm

Definitely more arcade-y than I'm used to for this type of game (having played Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare recently), but still fun!

Mind you, I hadn't played DR2 when first released.

Does anyone know what the next games will be? I just bought Skyrim there yesterday and absolutely love it so it's going to take something special to get my attention away from that.

Ya I think Skyrim IS the next free game! :pac:

Iano_128 · 22-08-2013 10:03am

I'm reading Halo 3 will probably be one of them, another game I'd have no interest in but will probably download anyway

Yeah, Halo 3 released September 2007 - so I'd say they might do it next month to mark the anniversary.

I'm finding Dead Rising to be incredibly boring.

Go find this guy
Come back to safe house
go find this guy
Come back to safe house
go get zombrex
come back to safe house

The "cases" give a little variation but still a bit tedious.

It's marmite. Really don't know why they never allowed an open world option from the start

calex71 · 30-08-2013 1:30am

No confirmation or announcement on sundays free game yet. Most places speculating its L4D and Borderlands 1 others saying it's gears of war.

I hope not on all 3!!!! I have them already

Rascasse · 30-08-2013 2:29am

The format it's followed so far seems to be a old lesser/obsurce game (Defense Grid, Crackdown) on the 1st and then a bigger title on the 16th (Fable III, AC, Dead Rising 2). The three you've named would (to me at least) be 'big' games. I'd happily take any of those you mention but I'm preparing myself for some XBLA I've never heard of, just in case.

Iano_128 · 30-08-2013 8:46am

Could be this...

Well, at least it'll be free. It certainly ties in with the whole "first game in a month being obscure" theory.

Meesared · 30-08-2013 5:22pm

Dont know if I would call Crackdown obscure in any sense. 1.5 Million copies sold apparantly.

Pushtrak · 30-08-2013 5:33pm

So, that magic game, and Rainbow Six Vegas.

Mickeroo · 30-08-2013 5:35pm

Godammit, was really hoping for halo 3 this month.

CatInABox · 30-08-2013 5:59pm

Magic: the gathering and Rainbow 6: Vegas

Don't have either! Excellent.

See here

EDIT: I'm getting slow in my old age, didn't see the above posts

Rascasse · 30-08-2013 6:06pm

Zero interest in Magic the Gathering, but very happy with Rainbow 6.

Allyall · 30-08-2013 7:09pm

Ben 10 - The Rise of Hex

Says free, just about to download it.

Just told my Nephew, and was told where to go.. :pac:

Ah well, worth a shot for free

2Mad2BeMad · 30-08-2013 7:11pm

no interest in magic the gathering, looks like a poor yu gi oh game haha
rainbow six vegas
while i loved that game to bits
they could of at least gave us vegas2 something a little newer because i could get that game for 50cent in a shop

how is magic2013 game a fan favourite

Kerplunk124 · 30-08-2013 7:55pm

FFS
Still waiting for a game that i don't already have

We didn't get hacked and left without online service for 5 to 6 weeks... If that's what you call service then you should have a think about your precious Sony counterpart

Sony was free then, and still is for the most part.

I'd agree that there is "no value" in the service. Microsoft seem to be charging us to play games. Whereas they said originally that it was for all sorts of services, including preventing young kids from being subjected to abuse, or seeing content that they shouldn't.
Never happened.
It's just for playing the game over a network.

Adamcp898 · 31-08-2013 1:33pm

Yes, I am oh so glad that the service I pay for didn't get hacked..I mean that is why I pay for live after all, so as not to have a hackable service, I've gotten real value out of it on that front :pac:

Some folks who've been around long enough to know better than to be dragging threads off topic :rolleyes:

Anyway I'll give Magic a go free is free, I have good memories of the Multiplayer in Rainbow 6 wonder how it holds up these days.

2Mad2BeMad · 01-09-2013 4:41pm

have to say even though i would of preferred a few newer titles
ive taken hold of magic the gathering, kinda reminds me of yugioh back in the old days

enjoying it but its confusing

beardo81 · 01-09-2013 6:22pm

Magic is different, can't fault the effort for diversity. TC is a bit old though, still free is free and better than nothing.

For some reason rainbow 6 isnt even free, not featured in the 'games with gold' on the dashboard, and when you search it, it is still €14.99

Not free until the 15th??

djkeogh · 02-09-2013 1:10pm

Hmm, Not mad about either of these titles. Think I'll skip the card game and I've already got Rainbow 6. R6 is a good game for it's time but it doesn't hold up great anymore in my book.

martin101 · 05-09-2013 12:18pm

Skyrim is €20 on the xbox sale at the moment. Is that good value?

Hell yeah!! I bought it the other week and I swear if I didn't have a job and a girlfriend I don't think I'd have left my room yet! I paid 50 for the game with the 3 DLC's (Dragonborn and Dawnguard are 2 DLC's really worth buying too).

There's easily a couple hundred hours Gameplay in Skyrim without the 2 DLC's I just mentioned. Well worth 20 euro.

for 20e i would say definitely get it.
i paid full price for it on release and I regret it, i ended up putting in about 30-40 hours of the game and just stopped, I found it boring, i wish i didnt because i loved all the previous games

but its well worth 20e , you'd get your moneys worth for that price

Nice one thanks, I think I will invest so.

Just got signed up onto Xbox LIVE and the first game doesn't really appeal to me! What is the next game this month?

If Halo 3 is their 'best saved for last' well that's pretty disappointing then. :pac:

I guess so..

Ah yes indeed! I still find it funny as the only game that has me switching over at the moment is BF4... Maybe DR3.
