Rumour has it that Crackdown and Dead Rising 2 are coming in August.

That's a RUMOUR.... no official announcement yet.

Do we get to keep these free games even if our gold runs out or do you need to have gold to keep/play them ?.

You do have to have a proper Gold Sub to download them though, a 24/48 hour pass won't allow it as far as I'm aware.

My 1 month gold trial code did however allow me to download AC2 for free

It's still Assassin's Creed 2 at the moment.

Apparently Crackdown is coming tomorrow. Major Nelson will announce later today.

Guess I'll finally give Crackdown another go! First played it in 2007 didn't like it one bit, But I wasn't really a big gamer then..

Same goes for Dead Rising..May rent it before the 2nd is free.

I love Crackdown, completed it years ago, highly recommended.

Not sure if I'll bother with Dead Rising 2. I've got the original, but made next to no progress as I hated it. Might dig it out and have another crack at it.

Is this on a game by game basis?

Capcom are saying "FREE during August and keep them as long as you have a valid Gold membership." about Dead Rising 2.

Either way this is still good, in a way I wish DR2 was part of the PS+ update this month as I still haven't got around to playing that game yet.

Interesting, where did Capcom say that?

There's not a system on XBL that restricts games to gold membership so they would have to apply that as a specific feature and to do so put two different digital versions of DR2 on the XBL marketplace for this to work. I don't see that happening personally.

Could just be someone on the website that has got their wires crossed.

Hexic HD was already free to download some time ago and still is free

... the only thing I hated about it was the ridiculously hard end of level bosses which took blimmin ages to knock their stamina down so you could kill them! Oh yea, and also the stupidly ridiculous saving system whereby you could only save at specific points in the game!! Is Dead Rising 2 like that as well?!

I'm the same, never completed it - just used to play it for the entertainment value of running around the shopping centre killing endless zombies with whatever you could find!

Just so people know, if you create one of the 3 Xbox Live gold 30 day trials allowed per console you can download the Games with gold for nothing, as long as you remember to cancel before the renewal date. Worth knowing for people who don't want to subscribe

Excellent, couldn't be a much better month on Gold than that, really impressed they throwing in the DR2 expansion for free too, nice little bonus. With the games on Gold thing picking up a bit I think I will have to extend my gold subscription (it expires end of Sept), are there any good deals on 12 months at the moment?

I checked eBay briefly but if anything they seem to have gone up a bit compared to what I got my last 12 month sub for, probably the whole games on gold thing has pushed interest back up a bit.
