Lovely, another two games i missed out onWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:15 AM
Finally. Some games I don't own!Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:15 AM
I already own both Crackdown games, but free Crackdown is amazing for anyone who doesn't have it.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:17 AM
awesome!Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:20 AM
These are actually two pretty decent freebies in my opinion, I didn't even bother downloading any of the others, but may give these a revisit.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:21 AM
I haven't played either but I am also not interested in either. I'll still download for later later.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:22 AM
really wanted dead rising 2 so nice :)Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:22 AM
Both games are banned in germany. if its true then we get two other games woohoo...Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:23 AM
Both are banned in Germany => No Games for us. o/ Maybe I'll switch to another account.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:24 AM
I played the crackdown demo years ago gave it a miss might aswell get it, if it's free.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:25 AM
Could have done with Crackdown 2 instead but I'll give Dead Rising 2 a go. I really didn't like the first one but if Far Cry 3 can turn my hatred of that series around, here's hoping DR2 can do the same.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:25 AM
for some reason if its true, I had some feeling dead rising 2 was coming to the free game. If it s coming soon, I can' wait to play and crackdown seems like fun too.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:25 AM
I use to have Crackdown i didn't like the first one but the second was amazing but haven't played dead rising 2 would be very happy with thatWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:25 AM
Only game so far that I already had was Fable 3, and my friend gave me a free code for it. Some good games I still haven't played. Hope they do Bioshock, Dead Space or Fallout 3 since I haven't played any of them either.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:29 AM
Cool :) 2 game I will play. Still have achievements to finish on Dead Rising 2 and I missed out on the 1st Crackdown.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:30 AM
I would love it to be Dead Rising 2. I've had the first game since launch but haven't picked up the second. Would be a blast to play it :)Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:30 AM
more games as old as the console, well, one of them anyway.....Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:32 AM
lol old stuff again. you can pick these 2 up for 5 bucks each in gamespot...Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:33 AM
These 2 are great if you haven't played them. But microsoft "rewarding" us with old games is very much a slap in the face. Especially with what Sony dish out to PS+ users. I love my 360 and I'll continue to play it, but next gen I'm backing team Sony.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:36 AM
good thing I'm upgradeing my hard drive soon. Why are people moaning the amount we pay for gold and we are getting something back.....eventually.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:40 AM
@15 and 19 Why did you feel the need to say that I'm pretty sure at this point everyone knows that P+ offers more recent titles.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:40 AM
Lol. My brother just bought Crackdown the other day.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:40 AM
All good, but I already have these games.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:41 AM
The promotion runs up to the end of the year I believe, not just until the Xbox One is released.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:42 AM
crackdown 1? really? isnt that a launch title? pretty happy with Dead Rising 2 if that appears sometime but i think i might pass on crackdown.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:42 AM
I call light bull because they wouldn't make Halo 3 and Assassin's Creed "Big Deal Games" for the program, then say "oh yeah, Crackdown 2 and Dead Rising 2 are on it." Never got to playing Dead Rising 2, and I fucking loved Crackdown 2, so it would be awesome if it were true.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:43 AM
not bad. think i'm finally going to have to buy a second hard drive now so i can stop deleting stuff i've downloadedWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:43 AM
I am getting so bored with all the 'PS+ this' and 'Good bye Microsoft'-if you are one of these gimps please stop what u are doing,don't leave a comment and fuck off to the Playstation site-YOU ARE REALLY PISSING ME OFF! OT-Crackdown is a good game,didn't complete it so will get the chance to do so now.I struggled to get into DR2 so sold it but will try it again FREE!!Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:46 AM
@2 Wish I could say that. So far I've owned them all.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:50 AM
Shame i already own every one of the free games so far (except for the XBLA one, i forget what it's called). But I thoroughly enjoyed both DR2 and Crackdown so highly recommend them to anyone who hasn't had a chance to play them yet. The fact that both games have decent co-op modes is a big plus too.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:50 AM
Not bad. I have a few achievements I'd like to finish on Crackdown and never played Dead Rising so this should be good.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:56 AM
Not played either game so happy with this.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:58 AM
dead rising 2 the only game i dont own. whoop. :) Well picking it up.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:06 AM
Been meaning to pick up dead rising 2, wouldn't it make sense to have crack down 2 with it, or dead rising 1 with crackdown 1?Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:06 AM
#36 Oh no,i am so deeply hurt by your clever and funny retort-its obvious we are dealing with a brainless and no doubt pre-pubescent moron so our loss will be Sony's gain-NOT!!Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:09 AM
Lol guys. Knowing Microsoft the 2 games won't be available at the same time. For example. Crackdown might be for the next 15 days and finally DR2 the nextWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:11 AM
@error1essrope24...please leave this website if you have nothing good to say...no problem with any free game!Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:17 AM
You know what Microsoft are what they are so to get free games from them is a luxury. Crackdown is a classic game, Dead Rising 2 isn't popular but I enjoyed it. I'll download them better to have games on your hardrive for when you get bored or want a change of pace.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:22 AM
The new one is Halo 3 isn't it ? At E3 they showed AC II and Halo 3 as the first two didn't they ? I'm glad Microsoft is doing this, best make room on my Hard Drive!Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:24 AM
sticking to ps plus.free xbox games so far are old and already played themWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:25 AM
PS Plus is better but at the end of the day some free games from Microsoft is better than none at all.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:28 AM
Crackdown is a joke for a free game? wasnt that available upon release of the 360???Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:29 AM
Thanks for shit! I thought Halo 3 was supposed to be free?Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:30 AM
*faxepalm* Two more games from years past. But at least this time Crackdown is fucking fantastic and Dead Rising 2 is great.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:31 AM
YES YES YES! not played either.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:32 AM
Crackdown said its out the 15th of august on that pic so probably dead rising 2 first then. Hopefully dead rising 2 first im going to tell my friend to get it then so we can play it :).Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:33 AM
#41 Get with the program-anyone who knows anything about these free games knows its one on the 1st of the month,one on the 15th. #44 You really are a brainless,childish twat,6 forum posts BUT a die-hard xbox fan boy at some point-Ok whatever.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:41 AM
Yeeeeeeeees Crackdown!!! I already have Dead Rising 2, but it'll be cool coause my friends will download it to play coop onlineWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:47 AM
#54 that's not a very nice thing to say. they could offer 2 at the same timeWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:47 AM
If we DL them free while on offer, does that mean we can DL free from our history at a later date once the offer expires? Wondering if it's worth keeping my retail copy is all???Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:52 AM
@56. If you don't like posting things, then why are the majority of posts here belonging to you? Hypocrite much? Seriously, grow up. We get the picture. You're disappointed, we get it. I already have Crackdown, and have played Dead Rising 2. But you know what? I'll download them anyway, and I can trade my disc copy of Crackdown then. Few extra quid of next game I get.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:53 AM
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the games are yours to keep forever. You don't even have to renew your gold sub.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:55 AM
@61 thank youWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:56 AM
And MS still can't beat PS+.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:56 AM
That was to #59.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:57 AM
Well this is great for those who never played those games but I will pass. I played CDown and don't really care for Dead Rising 2. What happened to Halo 3 though. First they said it was H3 and AC2, then they ended up releasing Defense Grid instead then they said H3 would come after AC2. Now it's these two games. Lying to the consumers really? Does MS not want to give away a Halo game for free or something?Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 10:03 AM
@65 As far as I remember MS never said that Halo 3 would be after AC2. They just said that Halo 3 would be one of the games that we get for free.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 10:08 AM
I see it as a way to boost co -op and they maybe "older" games but newer isn't always better.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 10:10 AM
if this is true would be nice cause I didn't play either of these yet. Here comes the whiners about how these games are old and F*ck MS!.. go whine to someone else and we don't care if you buy a PSWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 10:17 AM
I'd rather have Crackdown 2.. And I already own Dead Rising 2.. didn't like the first Crackdown.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 10:20 AM
I wish they offered an XBLA game + a retail game every 15 days actually. After all, if they give free games from the lauch of console, they could offer old XBLA titles like Cloning Clyde or stuff.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 10:23 AM
#59, its like buying, once you click download its yours forever. Download as much as you like.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 10:34 AM
Yawn. Two good games for people who haven't played them. It would be nice to get a decent game. Heck Modern Warfare 2 would at least be a some what big deal.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 10:36 AM
I'm getting free games but theyre not the ones I wanted! Waaaaaaah!!!! That's all I'm hearing from some people. Personally I'm happy to get ANYTHING for free. But I guess some people like to piss and moan about EVERYTHING.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 10:39 AM
Wow that's actually amazing for me Lol, Crackdown I haven't played in years and DR2 I never completed.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 10:40 AM
Come on why is it take so long for Larry to announce already? it's not like it's the Xbox One release date or anything.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 10:41 AM
nice, i been wanting to try a dead rising game to see if i want the new one on xbox oneWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 10:56 AM
Damn I read the headline too fast I thought it said dead space 2 lol just woke up as wellWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 10:57 AM
@75 I personnally bought all of those games when they came out. So it's all the same to me, as in "not getting anything".Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:00 AM
Major Nelson confirmed it just. Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is included. Kind of meh for me, seeing as I own all three, but beggars can't be choosers I guess.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:00 AM
http://majornelson.com/2013/07/31/games-with-gold-for-august-crackdown-dead-rising-2-dr2-case-zero/ Guess it was right. :)Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:01 AM
Case Zero was really good. I'll get all three and play the two retail games later.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:03 AM
Been wanting Dead Rising 2, played the first ages ago and never got around to the second. I played Case Zero though.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:04 AM
Games. For Free. What's not to love. I'm so tired of all the hate from people. For me, last month was a wash, I own AC2 and Defense Grid...but they are still free games, hello! This month is going to be great though, I don't own any of these games. I have played Crackdown a bit, but I borrowed it from a friend. I've never owned it. And I bought Dead Rising: Case West, and that's the only DR game I've played. So getting 2 free is pretty awesome. I'm stoked for August and even more for the future selections. Thanks MS.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:10 AM
Wish dead rising was first.....2 more weeks.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:11 AM
Was hoping for Crackdown 2, but I'm looking forward to finishing off DR2 atleast. Don't know why everyone insists on complaining when they're being given games for free. Got to love the xbox community these days.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:13 AM
Nice! I was thinking about rebuying Crackdown to swoop up the achievements I haven't picked up yet, but since it's free, I can get on that tomorrow.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:17 AM
Very nice. Been wanting DR2 for a while now, glad I held off buying it.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:17 AM
at least i will be able to get crackdown as i already have the other two gamesWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:18 AM
have not played dr2 yet sweetWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:21 AM
Already have Case Zero, shame it wasn't Case West. Will be getting DR2 and Crackdown thoughWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:22 AM
That orb sound still haunts my dreams...Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:31 AM
Already have Crackdown, but now I can get my hands on Dead Rising 2 and Case Zer0 for free ! Sweet :)Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:37 AM
People complain MS doesn't give free games when Sony does MS gives free games and people complain they're not the games they want... Everyone just needs to enjoy games and stop being bitchy assholes. Just because you have it already or don't want it doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:37 AM
Can't beat a bit of Crackdown, and Dead Rising 2/Case Zero for free absolutely awesomeWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:41 AM
Everyone, lets TRY not to be rude to each other, please? :) PS+: More recent games are free, but you only have them for a month. Xbox Gold thingy: Older games, some REALLY old game, but they will be yours forever! (Or for how everlong you can download them or keep the storage device alive :P) Anyways, both are great, they just offer different ways of gettting free stuff and for how long. Also if my info is wrong, please let me know :)Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:41 AM
i already have case Zero, i wish it was West included. im looking forward Dead rising 2, but can anyone say whether Crackdown is worth the download?Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:43 AM
In a way it sucks there bring out two games i already own.I never got to finish crackdown achievements but i did beat the game.I still have to get all the achievements for dead rising 2.dead rising:case zero is done.i have all 12 achievements and also dead rising:case.westWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:56 AM
@95 Sadly, we all know you'll be back to hate even more. But hey, have fun, wherever it is you're going.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 11:57 AM
Played all 3 and can tell you for the grand cost of zero notes i can safely say you will have fun with all of these games. Case Zero was a blast if your wanting to check out DR2 but dont want to spend the time and harddrive space just checking it out. Still from a personal point of view its a shame they never featured Dead Rising 2 Directors Cut or whatever it was called... that would have been awesome to go back to the same gameplay but from the view of Frank West, just could never justify it to myself buying essentially the same game as DR2 but with minor changes.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 12:02 PM
@99 The first Crackdown was a great game, lots of fun. If you ever hear people complain about it, it's due to the orb collecting, which makes it more annoying on an achievement hunting point, but doesn't take away from how fun the game was. I actually found the orb hunting kinda relaxing just jumping from building to building and not caring about any other objectives.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 12:05 PM
Sweet, I'll play Crackdown again. That was such a nice surprise. I haven't played Dead Rising 2 yet so I guess I'll pick that up and get ready for Dead Rising 3 this holiday.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 12:06 PM
I already have them both, but this is a great time for people who missed out on the games earlier!Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 12:08 PM
@3 I missed the down bit in your post and I thought I'd read "free crack is amazing for anyone who doesn't have it" WOOOOOOOOO I was hoping for Dead Rising 1 but this is even better. I've played both Case Zero and Case west brilliant games in their own right.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 12:13 PM
Finally get a chance to go back and find those last two hidden orbs I could never locate.. Curse you collection achievements :)haWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 12:13 PM
Great and we can't download Dead Rising 2: Case Zero in GERMANY at all...nice one!!!Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 12:17 PM
@103 thanksWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 12:38 PM
Not got any of the games so I'll download them both. Really glad to see dead rising 2 as it will be good to play before the 3rd comes out. Never bothered with the dead rising series until now but the 3rd looks amazing. Don't know anything about crackdown but can't say no to it when its free.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 12:44 PM
Awesome! Im very happy with these games. I dont own any of them.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 12:45 PM
Might be worth making a German account if you have a free trial code as they get Shadowrun and Lost Planet 2 instead of the DR games.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 12:49 PM
@Error1essRope24 Good riddens to you. I'm sure PS3trophies will be glad to have your complaining ass. Anyone who replaces letters in their username with numbers, I feel bad for your offspring.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 12:55 PM
Nice, I literally proposed getting Crackdown to someone this past week since it's dead cheap anyway so this removes all possible excuses for them. :) Dead Rising 2 is very grindy for 1000G, I took about 8 playthroughs. Consult that darn achievement guide first!Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 12:59 PM
No off the record? :/Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 01:01 PM
Nice. I'll get 'em all.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 01:04 PM
What's awesome about this is I own both of those games and with Gamestop doing 50% extra trade in I can get some money back from them plus still get to keep them… Sort of….Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 01:07 PM
Sweet! Haven't played both games since I made a new account. Hopefully I can still 100% both of themWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 01:09 PM
More free dog shit mmhm my favorite. Where's halo 3?Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 01:10 PM
Dear Rising 2? Is that where your significant others become zombies and you have to kill them?Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 01:12 PM
DOES THIS MEAN JAPAN AND KOREA VERSION OF Dead Rising 2: Case Zero(japan)and Dead Rising 2: Case Zero(korea) will be free if i own gold account for those regionWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 01:16 PM
i was going to buy dead rising 2 second hand last night, glad i didntWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 01:35 PM
awesome. i was going to buy dead rising 2 again ( i will anyway cause i want the disc and case) but for now digital will sufficeWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 01:42 PM
It should have been crackdown 2 instedWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 01:50 PM
Wow, do any of the PS+ fanboys know what they're talking about? The games you get via Games with Gold you get to keep indefinitely - even if you cancel your Gold sub. You could use two 48hr Gold trial codes a month to pick up the 2 free games, AND still be able to play them with any free Silver account on the console the game is licensed to without sign-in, OR any other console the purchasing Gamertag is signed into. For the PS+ games you have to constantly be a signed-in active subscribed member - meaning if you stop PAYING, you can't play ANY of the games you get through that service, even if you have them downloaded. If you stop paying for Gold, you can still play the games. No matter how you stack it up the GWG promotion is a better value (and this month they offer 3 games instead of 2 for an added bonus).Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 01:50 PM
This is my chance to get Dead Rising 2 and Case Zero, all without spending a dime :)Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 01:51 PM
These are good games to get for free but so far the only game given that i havent already played to death was the defense grid arcade game, i dont mind arcade games but i wish they would do an either or option so theres a better chance of the whole community gettin something new to play and experience.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 02:04 PM
Time to bring the smackdown on Crackdown!Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 02:10 PM
sweet im just missing hidden orbs and stunt rings to finish crackdown now i can get the chanceWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 02:33 PM
Two games that you can pick up for less than £5, good one MS!Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 02:46 PM
good job two games wich are not avaiable in germanyWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 02:48 PM
Error1essRope24- You have posted that you already own a ps3 in the months ago. Before you begin to make up lies to troll you should realize it is easy to find your old posts. SMH.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 02:53 PM
I am glad some people get to enjoy the games, they are fun. Crackdown is a blast. So far there isn't a game I don't already own. I have a feeling there won't be a game I don't own listed. Oh well. I do hope they continue this promotion beyond the end of the year regardless.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 02:53 PM
Nice! Wanted to buy DR2 once again, but now it's free! :DWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 03:05 PM
I never played either of those DR games, so that's pretty sweet. @126 I'm glad someone gets it. I have a ps3 and a vita and while I pay for gold I'm not interested in ps+ at all lolWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 03:12 PM
They could give "Dead Rising 2 : Off the record" instead of just the classic version (I already have the "Off the record" one, but I say that for the other gamers). Never played Crackdown so I might give it a try, especially as I saw it have online coop (I have two 360 and even with the online games I bought, I only need one copy to play them on both consoles, probably one of the only good thing of the xbox live :D)Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 03:16 PM

@140 Why should they Dead Rising OTR was not official cannon, so bad move in my opinion. Wow can't wait for Dead Rising: Case Zero, So much excited. I own DR 2 OTR haven't played it but DR 2 is good news. don't give a damn about crackdown, looks odd and is pretty oldWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 03:31 PM
@8 well I'm from Germany too, but otherwise I was so smart to create an english account :D can't wait to crack-down on some bitches :DDDWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 03:33 PM
fk old games again. crackdown is boring. n dead rising 2 is ok..Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 03:38 PM
Awesome, I don't have crackdown :)Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 03:45 PM
I'll pass on Crackdown, but DR2 and CZ will be picked up.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 03:46 PM
Very happy with this :) Don't own either of these games and have been really wanting Dead Rising 2 for an age. Played Crackdown demo but didn't really like it but hey, I won't say no to a free game.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 03:47 PM
Too bad it isn't DR2: Off the Record.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 03:50 PM
Lee: PROOFREADING. I know you guys want to be the first to put out a story, but after you write an article, read over it before you post it. What the hell is Dear Rising?Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 04:03 PM
@139 because I don't want to be told what to play, and when to play it. And because I want to own my games. That's why I don't have ps+. But, what that has to do with you, I don't know. And now you've got your ps3 why don't you fuck off already.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 04:20 PM
Great! I was really hoping that if it was Dead Rising, that it wouldn't be DR1 or DR2. Was hoping on Off the Record, but Case Zero is perfect.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 04:23 PM
#16 Are you being really depth fool and act like HolyTaco? Anyway move on from this silly troll. I recommend anyone who haven't yet to own Dead Rising 2 and Crackdown. Both games really fun and good not great but both is so good and they got own lots of fun. Go get it when they are free and started with Crackdown tomorrow. Enjoy with those games. :)Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 04:24 PM
@76 Im in the exact place as you. Yeah they are old games, but i havent played crackdown in years so ill replay that & i havent fully finished dr2. I really enjoyed the MP in it too. For me this is a good thing because i didnt care at all for AC2. Off topic, "endlessrope" or whatever ur nme is, u preach about PS+ & useless shit, do us all a favour & pissoff. Ur a terrible troll, whos getting nowhere........ In life. Go over to Sony so we have 1 less wanker to deal with. Or go hang urself on ur "endless rope". The games are free & are yours to KEEP. I understand why they are older games. Maybe u should do ur research before trolling. Fucker.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 04:43 PM
Own off the record, love the free roam without time. I'll still pick up both just to enjoy. Them putting assassins creed 2 up was a great move in my opinion. Badass game. Now I'm curious of what games are free for September.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 04:43 PM
Stop feeding the fucking troll It makes finding the good comments more difficultWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 04:44 PM
Dear MS, if you will ever read this, here is a nice and polite FUCK YOU from germany :-). Thanks for reading! (Shadowrun and Lost Planet 2, are you fucking serious?!) CheersWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 04:51 PM
@#126: I'm pretty sure using the 48 hour trials doesn't let you download these games, as you still show as a silver member when you use them. I tried that exact same trick to try and get Fable 3 and Crash Course 2, but it wouldn't work. I was planning on going back to gold to get all these games, but so far I have played all of the ones offered to completion...c'est la vieWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 05:01 PM
what happened to halo 3? we were supposed to get that game for free.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 05:11 PM
Awesome choices. Sadly for me, I own and have perfected all three.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 05:30 PM
What happened to Halo 3?Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 05:42 PM
@159 we got defense grid instead Glad to see dead rising 2 on here for free, can't find it at the gamestop hereWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 05:48 PM
no need to waste your time on dead rising 2 when there's dead rising 2: off the record with frank west... the way the game shoulda been. fuck chuck. and fuck these old ass games. god damn y'all are some stupid ass m$ drones. fuck. like begging for scraps.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 05:59 PM
nice so far all the games they've released for free with games with gold are games i don't have so yay for me. if they did release halo 3 i wouldnt care as much cuz i already have that but i'd probs download it anyway in case something happens to one of my discsWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 06:04 PM
i also think they should keep games with gold or something similar cuz i notice playstation plus gives away ALOT of free or ultra-reduced price games which i think is great but luckly with xbox live u dont have to be 18 like u do with ps plus but i would think they'd change that considering that the ps4 requires ps plus for online play but who knowsWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 06:52 PM
@159 or anyone else asking about Halo 3, I have a feeling that will be a september release like all other Halo releases. I think microsoft are too cautious about pissing off consumers at the moment,my guess is they may find it gimmicky to release it in that month,so don't worry it will turn up at some point.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 06:57 PM
To all the whining complainers, it's better than a kick in the nadgers!! Two games I've never gotten around to playing/owning, will be happily downloading these while they are free :)Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 07:01 PM
Sorry most Halo releases,also it would be Halo 3's 6th year since release so I'm convinced it's September. But who knows microsoft veer from sanity occasionallyWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 07:17 PM
3 games instead of 2, huh? And they're games I don't even own lol? .... What am I waiting for? I'll get Crackdown, Dead Rising 2 and DR2: Case 0 for sure :)Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:00 PM
Crackdown was awesome.. one of the first games I could just play over and over an over... Never got into dead rising tho... until it' free! I'll get into it then!Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:14 PM
@167 Exactly!! I don't understand the whiners and the trolls. If you already played the game good for you. If you wanted a different game, just wait. Free is Free and apparently people find it astounding that not everyone has played a certain game from 2007.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 08:56 PM
alway old game omg and here halo 3 stop puting game cost 2$ usedWednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:47 PM
@141 : Because it basically an updated version of Dead Rising 2, so when you give a game, it's better to give the more updated one but that's maybe just me. And the game is near the same, except you can play with Frank West, so it's not a big problem for those who would want to play it like the original Dead Rising 2.Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 09:54 PM
Quick Question- If I "purchase" any free Gold game game , but not download it, can I download it later for free?Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 10:55 PM
#172 Yes, just go to your Download History, and as they mention before, the games (with gold) you download, are yours forever. :3Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 10:59 PM
"Then on August 16th, Xbox Live Gold Members can grab BOTH Dear Rising 2 (Normally US $14.99) and Dead Rising 2: Case Zero (Normally 400 points) for free." Shouldn't that be Dead Rising 2, not "Dear Rising 2"?Thursday, August 01, 2013 @ 12:01 AM
Someone probably already said this... but if you haven't played "Crackdown" before - GET IT! It is AWESOME!!! Get the DLC for it, too... it makes it SOOOO much better (and there's more achievements to go with it)! It was nearly a launch title. It gave gamers an invite to the "Halo 3 Beta" (it launched from the main menu of the game). It actually got a lot of people to buy the game... just because they wanted to participate in the beta!Thursday, August 01, 2013 @ 01:15 AM
Yay older games on my wishlist!Thursday, August 01, 2013 @ 03:43 AM
@176 please lead to the the "Thousands of games" provided by PS plus.Thursday, August 01, 2013 @ 04:04 AM
@ 142: Wow you have a ENGLISH-ACCOUNT nice one but it's IP-BLOCKED smartass!!! So id doesn't matter. You will have to enjoy SHADOWRUN and LOST PLANET 2 instead...Thursday, August 01, 2013 @ 04:45 PM
Don't care for any of the games this month. So lame. Why not give out good games, like Red Dead Redemption, Fallout 3 or New Vegas? (rhetorical question)Thursday, August 01, 2013 @ 06:55 PM
I don't get people complaining about the free games? They're free. If you don't like them, don't get them. Nothing is being forced upon you and nothing in your life will change. If you want a really good game that you're interested in, get your wallet and go to the store. If it's such a good game, then its developers deserve your money, and you should probably stop waiting for it to become free. Everybody gets the same games. Most of us are happy with them, and, like, four of you are not. If Microsoft catered to individuals, then you'd have a case. But they don't, so, you don't. Just stop.Friday, August 02, 2013 @ 02:26 AM
F Germany, right? Mabe another 15 years until they de-illegalize Dead Rising. Like with Doom a few months ago.Friday, August 02, 2013 @ 04:31 AM
I don't see why people are saying PS+ is not as good as this shite because you don't keep the games forever. Sorry but why would you want to keep them FOREVER anyway? Anyone with a PS+ subscription at the moment will easily be getting a PS4 and will carry the subscription over to that, the games will carry on whilst the subscription does, if you want to keep your DIGITAL games forever then whatever. But I'm just happy to get the game, play the hell out of it and delete it and never look back. You stick to keeping your shitty 4-6year old games forever. I'm happy keeping my less than a year old FREE games whilst I have my subscription up.Friday, August 02, 2013 @ 06:58 AM
@14 BioShock, Dead Space, Fallout 3 are cheap now. Fallout 3 is best with GOTY. BioShock has Ultimate Rapture Edition.Monday, August 05, 2013 @ 10:26 AM
More ancient crap that everyones already played,what a joke,ms are a bunch of greedy cunts,I'm getting back to good old sony as soon as possible.Sunday, August 11, 2013 @ 06:06 PM
i wonder if the digital versions of DR2, both iterations will have that shitty save system that takes forever to access ill give them another chance but if it still takes 1 minute to access the save menu, they'll both be deleted

[Update]
The rumours were true, but there's an extra added bonus in there too.
"The next set of free games for Xbox Live Members in August will be Crackdown, Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Case Zero," Major Nelson has announced.
"Starting tomorrow (August 1st) the award winning Xbox 360 exclusive Crackdown (Normally 800 points) will be free for Xbox LIVE Gold members through August 15th.
"Then on August 16th, Xbox Live Gold Members can grab BOTH Dear Rising 2 (Normally US $14.99) and Dead Rising 2: Case Zero (Normally 400 points) for free."
[Original Story]
A couple of different sources are pointing to Dead Rising 2 and Crackdown as the next free Games With Gold titles.
The rumour first appeared via Xbox 360 Online Center, yesterday and it has subsequently been given more wright by Polish retailer Ultima, which has now posted promo material for the first of the offerings, Crackdown.
Yesterday, Major Nelson promised to reveal the next game in the free service today, so expect confirmation soon. Really soon. We’ll update the story as soon as it hits.
Xbox 360’s Games With Gold promotion will currently run up until the release of the Xbox One, with games released on the 1st and the 16th of every month.
The currently available Games for Gold title is Assassin’s Creed II, so get on that now if you don’t want to miss out.
