To be honest i'm not really too bothered what games they offer, it's free after all so i'm not going to complain.

I'm not a fan of Gears of War and Shoot many robots looks a bit meh, but i'm still getting them just because they are free
They're not actually free though are they?

They're free in the same way that BT sports is 'free' to BT broadband customers. You have to pay a subscription before you are entitled to the 'freebie'.
Since this promotion began I've downloaded 2 games and didn't enjoy either of them enough to finish or even keep them on my HDD, the rest I'd either played and completed or just wasn't interested.
As someone who's had a 360 for nigh on 8 years it has been a dreadful selection of games verging on a disgrace.

Pretty good you're getting games though. Is this running forever or just a short promo ? Are they going to give games for xbox1 ?

Probably again shows why we need rival consoles to drive one another on and force each into matching the other.

Games for Gold was announced to be continuing beyond the initial deadline and has since become a permanent feature for both 360 and X1.

Once again, if people are insistent on drawing comparisons then it's worth pointing out these are rentals vs true give-always. Of course the games aren't going to be as recent. Anyway, at least you can play old games online still on 360. Sony seem determined to shut down all their old servers.

Just Cause 2 is a great game if that is the next one on offer.

In the US... We got Borderlands 2 and DMC.

I thought EA (And others) closed servers down on both platforms.

They were December's games. Bioshock etc. are January's games, apparently.

Already own the both of them, Sleeping Dogs is a definite improvement as a retail game. Guardian Of Light is a fairly old arcade game, pretty good though. MS may be learning.

Bah! Already got both on PS3, a totally worthless month for me there. Still for those that moaned the games were too old, these are a good few years newer at least.

Dead Rising and Toy Soldiers: Cold War next.

I can't say i am excited by these two at all really. More shooters from Microsoft................they could have a little more variety.

Why not give us an JRPG ? shooters are all Microsoft think about.

It's Dead Island, not Dead Rising.

LOL. Yeah, I tried to Google it and typed Rising by mistake.

Anyway, Dead Island was first released in 2011 and got a Metacritic of 71 - Edge absolutely mauled it with a 3/10

Toy Soldiers: Cold War was also released in 2011 and got a Metacritic of 81. Lots of 7s and 8s from the big publications.

Dead island is a great game.

I'd be well chuffed with it if i didn't already own it.

I tried playing riptide a while ago and it was terrible. The first is the best of the two.
