Xbox Live Games with Gold for July 2014
Coming up in July, Xbox Live Gold members can look forward to three new free games on Xbox One and Xbox 360. Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition will debut on Xbox One as a free download, replacing June’s Xbox One Games with Gold title Halo: Spartan Assault (so be sure to grab it now if you haven’t already). Max: The Curse of Brotherhood will remain available for Xbox Live Gold members to download for Xbox One. On Xbox 360, starting Tuesday, July 1st, Gotham City Imposters (normally US $14.99) will be free for Xbox Live Gold members through July 15th. Then on July 16th, Xbox Live Gold Members can download two titles, BattleBlock Theater (normally US $14.99) for free through July 31st. Already have the 360 ones But BattleBlock Theater is alot of fun in co-op.

I owned both max and halo spartan assault, so i didn't get any free games last month. At least I'm getting a free one this month.

Yeah, don't think I'll bother buying any non-AA or AAA games now. Was going to buy Strider on X! but that's free on PS+ in July.

So next month we only have Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition on Xbox One since Max will stay on? They couldn't have just given us Outlast, like PS4 owners had? Disappointing... Especially since it was up in the Steam sale for just mere pennies... Oh well.
Gotham City Imposters is also pretty crappy for 360... considering it's an F2P title on PC anyway... |

I think its been tough for them to choose which games to make free.
I could be wrong, but i think August will see the return of two free games a month as they have a lot more choice. This week alone has seen the release of: Sixty second shooter Valiant hearts Transformers:Rise of the Dark Spark Sniper Elite 3 Another World 20th anniversary Zombie driver Ultimate edition Contrast Outlast It seems the ID@xbox games are coming thick and fast so Microsoft will have plenty of choice. I'd also expect a good offering of games in September when the xbox one launches in Japan as well as other markets, so maybe we'll see Ryse or Dead Rising 3 for free then? Saying all this, it wouldn't have hurt them to give us two free games this month rather than recycle Max. Even if they put up Sixty second shooter (£2.99) or Fighter within (£7.77 from amazon) it would have been better than this. I can understand why some feel cheated as the '2 games a month' they quoted seems misleading. |

Gotham City Imposters coming in for a lot of unfair criticsm in my opinion. Its not a bad game at all when I played it, and I would consider FPS multiplayer as one of my favourite genres. It had better hit detection than any COD game since MW2 which automatically made it into my top 5 FPS on the 360.
If you can get by the cartoony graphics and you like FPS, you should have fun. My one gripe was they made 2 of the weapons available through Microtransactions. Off the top of my head one was poor and one was good. But like any FPS a bit of teamwork will destroy any clown with a big gun. Headshot tater tot. |

So Darksiders II on 360 is available to download for free. Not bad at all! The excellent Darksiders is also 50% off.
There's some other great deals of 360 marketplace if racers are your thing, especially these: Burnout Revenge Burnout Paradise NFS Hot Pursuit NFS Undercover All around £5 each, online is still up and running too as far as I'm aware so hopefully this sale encourages new players.

Awesome. Picked up Burnout Revenge it's by far my favourite Burnout game. Had it on PS2 and early years of 360.

I'm still waiting for a game that I actually want to play on the X1, I have MAX the curse of brotherhood which is good, its the only game that's interested me since gwg started on X1.
I'm not complaining, just saying. PS4 is no better. I think my PSN+ subscription will be left to expire this time around. It's slightly different with XBL GOLD, MS have always charged, so anything extra (however crap ) is a bonus.

Back on topic. They offer some good deals on Gold. Some games may be old but worth a punt with the discounts or free games with gold. |

Give darksiders2 the download treatment (while it's free) that's my advice! ... Absolutely fantastic game imo! 👍 (had the WiiU version) 😊

But, yeah, the free games have been lacking. Chariot looks OK but I haven't had the time to even load that up yet. If we get Crimson Dragon again next month I think I might just throw the Xbox out of the window. |

Guacamelee is pretty decent. Give that a go. It gets a lot more fun once you start to unlock new abilities.

Why? Cant they give it some variety and have a different game on the sale?
The next 3 months are so are the months they should be offering older AAA titles, though. Especially with the holiday season coming up. IGN did a nice article about how the XBO is looking more attractive in terms of price and bundles in the US, so Microsoft been to capitalise on this. A free game that is actually worth having would go down nicely for people torn between the two consoles... |

You'll probably get Fighter Within for free at some point, they can't even give it away.

Guess there just aren't enough games they're willing to give up for free at this point. PS+ offerings have been equally awful, although they haven't repeated any free games!

Its understandable not wanting to give away retail games but they really need a bigger selection. They could easily put some of the better arcade games from the 360 onto the X1.
Flashback would have made a decent choice. |
