Nor is it free.

Im pretty sure Microsoft announced a year or so ago that all 360 games with Gold would be BC....

Nope. You need to pay for a Gold sub to get these. It's part of a package that costs money.

The 'I'm leaving and taking my handbag with me because I ain't a man' button? :stuck_out_tongue:

I think I've found the right thread... (Tried posting this comment twice & failed).

Sweet! Both 360 titles are BC. I'm in! :smiley:

Have both the BC games but still both cracking games and don't own either of the xbone games so a good month really.

The BC ones are both especially good.

this is quite good imo :smile:

Your move Sony!

Im pretty sure Microsoft announced a year or so ago that all 360 games with Gold would be BC....

should be in freebies section, not a deal

Pretty sure Force Unleashed 2 was pants and then some, but hey. free is good and I might have the disc version to get rid of.

Decent enough

Good selection. Force unleashed 1 was free a little while ago. I may have to jump in and play them both through.

Great stuff, just hope MS decide get my 4 month old bricked Xbone back to me at some point this year :smirk:

I'd rather free online than paying to get crap games I never want to play.

I'll renew the 15th then, just to get star wars, get round to playing that in 2019 sometime

why do they even bother? old Xbox 360 games as a bonus? I'd rather have 1 free month of live than bother with any of these 'free' games. Still they are copying Sony supplying tat with a subscription...

Not a bad selection, nothing to set the world on fire. Can go on the virtual pile and never get played

I just got the 100% achievement for this game 2 days ago, 9 years after the last achievement i got on it way back in 2008. lol.....got back compat on the XB1 to thank for this, a feature that i am really enjoying.

But cracking game, and i do not have the other 3 so again GWG is a win for me.

I don't have it on disc, it must have been something I borrowed at the time (20 achievements on it) and remember a really realllly dull boss battle. Less than mediocre imho but thats compared to the great star wars games or even the bounty hunter one on the game cube/Ps4 rerelase.

The ignore button is your friend, save yourself the effort, it is always the same faces every month without fail, course i don't know what they are saying thanks to the ignore feature, and that is where the ignore feature pays dividends. lol

Only messing, just bring back Snap, Microsoft.

I've always considered any ignore button is like walking away from aggro, no value in that :confused:

Yay

The 'I'm leaving and taking my handbag with me because I ain't a man' button? :stuck_out_tongue:

Ah the X1 titles are a bit meh, but still a good offering from Microsoft. Let's see what treats Sony will give us next month...

Na

probably not, we are probably given them what they want attention.

Maybe try putting down the pitchforks and torches, and instead just point out the reasoning why it shouldn't be in freebies and go easy on the sarcasm.

Just stick a couple of bricks in the handbag and flop em with it is what I'd suggest :sunglasses:

good point, really just better to ignore them as it seems the same people all the time. better taking the high road

Some people genuinely might not realise. You looked at freebies lately? There's loads of deals that require a subscription :confused:

The original Giana Sisters looked very similar to Mario...

Am I right in thinking the XBONE games have been on ps Plus already?

Lara croft game has been released in ps plus and so many humble bundles. not good releases for may

Awesome month, well pleased.
Cheers for the the heads-up op.

I know "free is free" but on a personal level this is very flat for me. Already played Lego star wars and have no interest in the others.

Gianna Sisters hasn't (at least I don't think it has) but the Lara Croft one has.... First world problems, I know, but it is really irritating when you own both and get repeat games on the opposing service....

I'm personally looking forward to the brave soul who posts the Nintendo equivalent monthly game service on HUKD when that info is released.... It's gonna be hilariously poor I would imagine knowing the big N - like an obscure nes game that no-one cares about (yes I know they are "sort of" giving the service free initially)

Giana Sisters was on Ps plus a few years ago for PS3. It's an alright game, nothing special.

Sorry but what is backward compatibility? New to the gaming world and my son has Xbox 1s

xbox 360 game that will play on the xbox.

The Xbox One can play Xbox 360 games making it backwards compatible. The Nintendo Wii U can play the original Wii games making it backwards compatible. The PlayStation 4 cannot play PlayStation 3 games so it is not backwards compatible. The Nintendo Switch cannot play Wii or Wii U games so it is not backwards compatible.

Didn't it get pulled from the shelves because Nintendo complained it was too much like Mario? I'm sure I heard that at the time, I had it on the Amiga if I remember right.
I'm not to impressed with the collection this time and not to try and rub anyone up the wrong way but didn't PS Plus have Giana Sisters a couple of years ago?

Am I the only person who picked up on this illogical statement?

So, each month, you want them to provide you with an extra month of Live for buying a Live subscription? So we should all buy a 12 month subscription once and get Live free forever?!

What? :laughing:

Alleged lawsuit

According to several urban legends, Nintendo opened a lawsuit case against Time Warp Productions and Rainbow Arts, because Nintendo saw a direct copyright infringement to its new game Super Mario Bros. But in fact, there has never been such a lawsuit. Neither Nintendo, nor the German programmers claim to be privy to any lawsuits. This myth was created shortly after the game was taken out of stores. Nintendo itself later admitted to have influenced the stop of sales directly, as it did already before with other games.

Several factors influenced the stop of the sales of the game, including conspicuous similarities: the general gameplay and the first level of The Great Giana Sisters is nearly identical in layout to the first stage found in Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. The immediate similarity to Super Mario Bros. ensured that The Great Giana Sisters was quickly noticed by both the public and the video game industry itself. Nintendo urged the makers of The Great Giana Sisters to withdraw the game from sale, arguing that it was obvious copyright infringement. Time Warp Productions and Rainbow Arts immediately stopped the production and, at the same time, the game began vanishing from the stores. The difficulty in obtaining copies of the game has led to them being sought out as collector's items. -Wikipedia

the ps4 sort of can play ps3 games you just have to pay for PlayStation now

Yeah sorta kinda :stuck_out_tongue:

Cool - got TFU one a few months ago with GwG, so glad Force Unleashed II is out now too!

I just bought Lara last week

Refund it

Tosh and codswallop

nice to see voodoo vince on XO will get that when they reduce it. only a few months to Scropio now chaps then we can really game properly at last and i got 3TB worth of digital games stored up now.

It really blows my mind how many people think these are actually free.

That's the spirit :smiley:

What are you expecting them to give away free this month, Resident Evil 7?

Lego Star Wars, Awesome stuff!!

Cheapest place to get legit Gold?

No complaints from me this month. It's hard to argue with LSW, simply for its addition to the backwards compatibility programme. We already own it on disc, but it'll be nice to have on the HDD. Force Unleashed II is nice also after being given the first recently.

I'm not really interested in Giana (own it on Steam) and I have ToO on PS4. But great month all round I think. Heated OP.

what I'm saying is maybe INSTEAD of the games 1 ie not the free tat which let's face it most Xbone and 360 owners have played/owned, 1 month or 2 for loyal Xbox customers who have paid for the year, or who are regular subscribers to the live service. not much of a stretch for a company worth billions really is it?

So are you suggesting that if you acquired your Gold membership by fraudelent means it's not free? :smirk:

This is ps plus tier trash.

You are missing one of the joys in life when it comes to the interent, the ignored poster, truly the eighth wonder of the world. lol

Meanwhile, PS PLUS contains new Indie games

I am so so sick of signing out then back to be able to vote. slowly losing interesting because of this. heat though. had to do it for this one.

I bought the Lara Croft + DLC bundle in the spring sale, haven't got around to playing it from my digital pile of shame. When is the automated refund system rolling out again, and what is the eligibility criteria again? :confused:

May the 4th game be with you. And the 3rd one.

Interent? :smile:

pretty poor month as far as I'm concerned - I wouldn't have bought either of the xbox one titles and neither are even full priced titles. The Star Wars games are decent enough, but both are old titles at 7 and 10 years old.

May the F̶o̶r̶c̶e̶ b̶e̶ w̶i̶t̶h̶ y̶o̶u̶ June deals be better

I agree with you 100%

Starwars.... in a galaxy far away,do people still play this nonsense.Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams? at least its original.

Can never get the backwards compatible 360 games to download to Xbone, reason ?

was gunna mention this, apparently all Game with Gold are BC

Yes, it's a new online rental service for people who don't check their spelling. lol


Yes, it's a new online rental service for people who don't check their spelling. lol

You have to download it on a 360 or from the website. You also have to have a payment method setup.

I was hoping this month black ops 2 but maybe next month

In 1990

? Look in ready to install section after you have selected ?

Same here now. I always downloaded them directly from xbox one dashboard. But for some reason when I went to download assassins creed revelations the other day, I was forced to go onto the xbox website on laptop to purchase it first.

You could just imagine the online is free and the games are what you pay for, if that helps? :smiley:

Careful Microsoft. Those xb1 games have the stench of ps+ indie crap about them. Stay in the light, don't go to the dark side..

That was quick, haven't even touched SWTFU yet now getting the 2nd one as well, awesome. Well looks like all Lego games now are open to being GWG
I had a shock last night on my 360, 500gb Harddrive and only 16gb left, all these free games are filling it up quick. I need to finish some games.
Why do people complain about games on the 360, their BC. Why do people expect games that are fairly new, MS doesn't have to give any of these games away, millions of people were paying for Gold memberships way before any extras were included

Another good month.

Vast majority? Are there published figures for month-by-month Live subscribers who actually take any of the GWG on offer?

Fair would be more apt but you'd say it was a good'un if they dished out Pong and Frogger on GwG that month.

At least MS have notified me that my deadbox has been brought back to life and is on route from Frankfurt back to blighty with UPS.

Alas will not be picking us up a couple of cheap bottles of Jäger on the way as a gesture of goodwill :smirk:

What are you even talking about ? Games with gold yes but what is it with you and a faulty Xbox that you seem to want everyone to know about ?

anyone have a 1 month gold pass i could use so my some can get Lego and i can try the starwars game??

Well the 360 games are pretty decent.....cheers for the post

Erm I would rather everyone knows about Microsoft's 'faulty' customer care than about my deadbox if I had to choose what I wish to be broadcast more.

Thing is I have ponies accusing me of being an Xbot, then there's you and a couple of others who seem to have me down as all for PS4 and then of course there's the Nintenuts who believe me to be a 'mainstream console' fanboy whose only goal in life is to nuke the Mushroom Kingdom :smile:

I reserve the right to criticise anyone and everything, the more it offends the various fanboys/girls the more justified I feel :wink:

I must be missing something, I don't remember saying anything about you "being all for the ps4" What are you talking about ?

This Deal is for 'Games with Gold'

Why when I always try to get the 360 games with gold on my one, it comes up with show price then wants me too pay for it?

Agreed. The last couple of months of Games with Gold have been superb but this is pretty crap.

It should come up as FREE or £0.00 even though you are agreeing to buy. Just the way the 360 catalogue of games has been setup.

isn't a freebie,you have to have xbox live gold!

Yes it's a deal for GwG that you do need a FULLY FUNCTIONING Xbox One/360 to access which I don't have at this exact moment in time even though my most recent and FOURTH Xbone I've owned is less than five months old.

You're Xbox through n through, your bio pic emphasises that, so if you didn't use that exact terminology I have stated I beg forgiveness but you have 'dug me out' by suggesting I am pro Playstation in the past.

Frankly I don't mind being labelled anti anything but I do resent being considered pro something, better to be seen as a hater of all platforms than to be thought of as a fanboy of any specific one as far as I'm concerned :sunglasses:

Are you following Nintenuts reading this? :smirk:

If anyone wants an Android reminder widget for games with gold. I made one for android for myself. Its on the playstore
"Games With Gold Widget Remind". Its free and has no adverts.
