Xbox Live Gold was never about free games, it's the service which is considerably better than elsewhere in terms of updates, stability, features such as backwards compatibility and external hard drive support. Free games with Gold came about because Sony started charging for it's online multiplayer and offered free games as compensation so Microsoft followed suit so it's all good. Anyway heat for four free games that will go on my 5TB Hard-drive.

They're not free - you need a PAID subscription service in order to get them.
They would be free if they were being given to everyone.

Why bother? Just double up - I just use the Xbone for the exclusives (I bought mine JUST for Rare Replay initially, plus the new Tomb Raider, though I am kicking myself it got such a quick release on PC), plus my mate has one so I decided to get into FIFA for the first time and now I'm nearly kicking his ass, and he's been playing it for years and years lol!
PC for everything else although talking of doubling up I am going to buy Rocket League again for Xbone.
Got my Wii U as well for the Nintendo exclusives, couldn't live without those "proper" games :wink:

Bought it for son for his b'day, but he has stopped playing online and the Xbox One games just aren't worth the money.

12 months for £21 was readily available before Christmas, but many places seem to have put up their prices since then (notably including cdkeys.com).
If you do try an offer, let us know what you offered and the response.
You're thinking of PS Plus.

you can save it every month. you don't need to download them... I've only downloaded a few of the gwg games. For 20 quid a year it's a pretty good deal!

Assuming that you don't have an Xbox 360, you need to redeem the games via the web store. They'll then show up for download, provided that (as will be the case for all new GWG inclusions) they support backwards-compatibility.
john swfc
27 Jan 16#74
Bad month for me, the GwG is even less inspiring than the PS4 PS+ offering.
I already had Styx free on PS+ and didn't like it very much back then, got zero interest in Sacred Citadel, and apart from GOW2 being ancient and them already giving away 2 of the more recent games in the series ages ago, I've already got it in my download queue (where it'll probably stay forever) from playing GOW Ultimate. Oh well, at least I've never played Hand of Fate, maybe it'll be an undiscovered gem, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Yeah I've wanted to try Hand of Fate for a while, Styx is another game I've wanted to try too.
