Ugh, tired of them always offering AAA games, where's the indies? :smirk:

Ok - so four games that can be bought for £5 each (let's say all four for £15) times that by 12 - £180 quid worth of games a year for the gold fee which is between £25-£40 depending how savvy you are....

Good point.... hot hot hot

Speedrunners is supposed to be brilliant. It's a competitive platform-racing game (can do local multiplayer too). It still hasn't been released on PS4 though :disappointed:.

I agree with this 100%.. one of the main reasons I know am happy with the xbox offerings is because of the months and months of watching on a ps owner - so I decided to get an xbox.

For me its a numbers game, I want more good months than bad in a year and so far since owning an xbox I haven't had a single month that's been completely disappointing most months for me have had multiple games that I have a passing interest in.

Over the year and for the money I am not sure that anyone really has anything to complain about on gold at all if we are honest.

Same applies for playstation - although as a mainly offline gamer myself, I don't remember the last time I actually played a plus "freebie".

When playstation were still trying plus was amazing.

I think that major issue is that some people see "old" BC game as Junk no matter what the title - others still love the BC games, BC was a major reason I jumped onto Xbox alongside PS.

I agree that loyalty to either is pretty senseless.. but also not seeing the value in gold is pretty silly to me too.

Why expired?

Laws of supply and demand ...

Apart from the xbox 360 games which you keep, regardless of you stopping to subscribe to the gold service.

If we can get Zoo Tycoon then great.

I conclude that we are getting the XBox One games free elsewhere in the world, but not the XBox 360 games.

The reasoning behind this is because Kalimba was free as it was part of Games with Gold in Germany (see 51 in the XBox One list of games with Gold), as was Max, The Curse of Brotherhood a month or so ago (see 60 in the list), and 5 months ago in Japan (see 5 months ago and 51 and 52 in the list). So, on the 16th, I would expect to see a post for Zoo Tycoon on HUKD.

They aren't free. The posts for kalimba was free.

Looks like Hardwood Hearts (06/01 - 06/15), Zoo Tycoon (06/16 - 07/15) and Battleblock Theater (06/16 - 06/30) are the variants in Japan. Will we be able to pick up the XBox One offers (Zoo Tycoon) as per the Kalimba thread, but not the XBox 360 offers? Do we have the option to pick up the Japanese XBox 360 offers in preference to the GB offers, so Battleblock Theater rather than Dragon Age: Origins. Are there rules, or just occasional offer setting lapses?

Wow, that good eh :confused:?

It is brilliant, up there with Goldeneye and Micro Machines, back in the day, for local multiplayer.

Select Install then cancel it straight away with Xbox One games with Gold, Xbox 360 version you just purchase the games for free then they'll be in you library.

Purchase it (free) and then look for it in your games library and manage the game.

I just like to add: All Xbox 360 games are all playable on Xbox One without needing a separate console unlike PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PS Vita

Not a bad month, here's a recap:

Heat added :smile:

Why wouldn't you have EA access? £20 for a year is a brilliant deal

wow, great month for GwG.

Depends where you shop - both Game & CEX hike up the price as soon as something goes Backwards Compatible.

Yeah I'm the same.... Think I've only actually "bought" about 10 games since I got my Xbox, yet I have 123 installed and 23 to install. How many have I completed?? Two... How many have I spent more than 5 hours playing? About 10...
Installed LC: Temple of Osiris at the weekend. Played it for 20 mins, hated everything about it and probably won't play it ever again.

To be fair, I'd much rather have some of the £9.99 Indie titles, which can't be bought cheap or as retail copies and have no trade in... Rather than retail games I can grab for a couple of quid, or at least buy cheap and trade in again...

Actually pretty good. I'm playing through it at the moment, and while the missions are quite repetitive (standard Ubisoft open world approach) it is still fun. It got a lot of bad press at release for not being graphically as impressive as promised and the "hacking" element being pretty mundane but nonetheless it's worth a go.

Am I the only one who comes here every month, rushes to download the games...but never ends up playing any of them :stuck_out_tongue:

This suggests that Watchdogs will appear on PS+ at some point :smiley:.

Loved WatchDogs......Cracking game. 2 is good as well

Isn't watch dogs on EA access or am I wrong?

Just go through the 'buy' (free, because GWG) process, you don't even have to start the download. My HDD has been full for a while but I've got several GWG games listed under 'ready to install' for when I've cleared some space.

What's that Watch dog like

Speedrunners is supposed to be brilliant. It's a competitive platform-racing game (can do local multiplayer too). It still hasn't been released on PS4 though :disappointed:.

Please add to the title. Xbox only....... I got all excited fro a a free PC game only to realise it was for Xbone

Literally one of the reasons I've gone back to MS after a couple of years on PS4. The PS+ offerings are just not up to scratch

ps4 free monthly games are far worse than this, I might switch back to xbox.

Nice, that means AC3 is finally being made backwards compatible!

Great month for me, I only have AC3. Really makes the PSN freebies look like crap, I usually don't even bother grabbing those ones.

Hot!

You also get some Phantom Dust multiplayer packs with a value of 14.99.

Brilliant month, I have been tempted so many times by each of these and i am seriously glad i did not.

Get in!

Double dipped.

fail :stuck_out_tongue:

HAven't played or owned any of them - probably won't get round to playing most of them but will hopefully give Dragon Age a go.

Only one game for me this time. Thanks Microsoft for ruining June. Lol.

Watchdog's I have On PC and Xbox, honestly excellent game love the graphics and Characters

:smiley: decent games

Good month this, know nothing about speed runners. Watchdogs isn't as bad as the negativity suggests. I enjoyed it, but not a game I'd go back and revisit. Assassins Creed 3 I really didn't like at all and kinda put me off the series. Dragon Age, not played, but seems to be rated pretty highly amongst the game playing community

Couldn't agree more. Always someone who bangs on about people voicing an opinion as being ungrateful. Same goes for PS+.

This is massive global companies who have no loyalty to me, why should I show any to them?

I played multiplayer a couple of times, but it wasn't for me. I liked the expansion though, Bad Blood, I think. Maybe even better than the main game.

I'll try that next month and see how I get on. Thanks for info

Ok - so four games that can be bought for £5 each (let's say all four for £15) times that by 12 - £180 quid worth of games a year for the gold fee which is between £25-£40 depending how savvy you are....

Good point.... hot hot hot

Damn, just bought DA:O on the Backwards Compatibility sale!

I usually purchase games from the app.

It installs the games remotely and puts the BC In the ready to install bit.

I have a 5tb drive so it's not been an issue yet but I'll delete a few and see if they pop up in my ready to install section...

Try purchasing from website or app

As far as im aware xbox live has always cost money but games with gold was added at a later time...... so makes it free in a way?

Nothing amazing. Ancient games that can be bought for £5 tops.

Damn just bought AC3 on music magpie after seeing BC. Will try to cancel that. Thanks Buzz.

The igonore feature is your freind, i love it, a little bonus i get with the GWG thread every month, seeing all the ignored still posting in it hating everything about it, well i assume they are still hating, they are ignored so i can't tell. lol

It's not free, it's part of the service you pay for and anyone is within their rights to complain about the quality of the games.

At last watch dogs ! Knew it would go free soon enough lol

I wish they just gave you online play for £1 a month, I never use anything other than that for the subscription, which I only ever sub to when there is an offer. These games suck, give me new games, then I'll care, like Rocket League on PSN, that was the only good thing I've ever gotten.

One xb1 and two xbox 360 game si don't have, and i get to keep the 360 games, what is not to love about GWG every month. :smiley:

I already have the Complete edition of WD on disc, just need time to play it, and GWG is not helping. lol

Will pick up Dragon Age: Origins .... for like the fifth time... maybe I'll finish it this time :smile:

*waits for people to complain about free content*

Thats what I usually do but half the time the games dont show up in my ready to install tab. Annoying as I often forget I even purchased most of those games.

Any suggestions so they all actually show up in ready to install? Thanks

I know ps plus has got really bad over the year

And they are in bed with ea still hot though

Thanks for the heads up Buzz!

Theres always one...

Not a deal... cold

I played it at launch and thought it was brilliant. I mean I only payed around £25 for it - but its really a fun game if you want something a bit more chill. And for the grand total of nothing its well worth a try.

Its a shame watch dogs and assassins creed 3 were pretty poor. I did myself play through both and their follow ups. Watch dogs is worth a go, it's so inferior to watch dogs 2 imo

Have 3 out of the 4. Sigh.

Meanwhile on PS PLUS, we get one AA Game and others are just Indie releases

2nd game is awesome, much better than 1st

I got watchdogs when I originally bought my PS4 and I loved it, I didn't realise the stink about the hyped graphics etc. So I just went in blind. Will eventually get round to buying the 2nd game sometime. Over to you Sony lol

Just purchase and cancel download

speed runners is sick had it in pc for months. great 4 player coop. it's kind of like Mario cart with out the carts

You can cancel it immediately

Woah awesome month!

What do you have to do to ensure the game is in your library in case you want to download it at a later date?

Can I just start the download and then cancel it immediately? or do you need to download the whole thing?

good month for new xbox owners. Phantom dust dlc is pretty good though.

Is the US line-up always the same as UK?

Really disappointing month for me. I got Watch Dogs on release and enjoyed it for 30 minutes then spent the last ~5 hours incredibly bored. Also I found AC3 to be the worst yet.

Dragon Age Origins is good. Was even better when I bought it for about £2 back in 2012.

Over to you Sony!

Wonder if if creed comes with liberation I still have the codes

and yet I still haven't played watch dogs or creed .I may do now

Ac3 was great imo, watchdogs was decent too, both well worth a go. Really wish drad rising 3 would popup on this gwg, il bet we get 4 before we ever get 3

Anyhoo, back to ufc 2 on ea access for another month, see you next month

Never heard of Speedrunners, already played and finished the others (albeit on PS4 for Watchdogs).

Never mind, I've got every faith in PS+ coming good this month...

Was just looking at the Xbox User Voice section to see what games people wanted to come to back-compat... AC3 was very high on the list so glad to see it and for free as well! Pleased to see Speedrunners too - been looking at that for a while

Good month, played AC3 on release and was disapointed but wouldnt mind playing again once completed Ezio Collection. Wanted to try Watch Dogs so happy about that. Thanks for post OP

if you have ea access its still worth clicking the free icon for dragon age origin on the 16th as you then own it forever.

Honestly I'm so pleased I got an Xbox as well as the PS4. Games with gold out does ps plus every single damn month. Hot hot hot.

decent month :smile:

Ugh, tired of them always offering AAA games, where's the indies? :smirk:

Why are they sticking EA Access Vault games on GwG????

That reminds me, Need to get Star Wars The Force Unleashed downloaded.

Thanks great deal

AC3 is 1st-15th June not 5th :smile:

Looks like a good month. I've already played Watch Dogs on PS4 but the rest are welcome additions. This might prompt me to finally get around to playing DA:O after picking it up, playing it briefly and trading/selling it a couple of times before.

Another month that makes me jealous as a PS4 owner :disappointed:

Been wanting to finish Watch Dogs, not played any of the others. Happy news Buzz cheers :smiley:

A very decent month. Again. Over to you Sony...

Well pleased, fab month. :smiley:

Agreed. Its not a bad game, just the main character is a tool.
I picked up DEDSEC edition for about 15 quid and got a good chunk of hours.
I wouldn't bother with multiplayer though, it was (on PC) full of hackers unfortunately - and not the nice, in-game kind!

I've wanted Watchdogs for ages (despite the criticism), I've never played AC3 and I own DA:O on pc but I'd like to have it on xbox. Woo nice :smile:

I'm used to crap driving! Although it's usually my fault...but hey ho at least I can blame it on the game this time :wink:

That also looks like Phantom Dust free DLC too. Looks like a v nice month :smile:

Awesome month :smile:

Really good month. Can't wait to see the complaints about them offering games worth a few quid even though they're AAA :laughing:

(This would be more appropriate if it were psplus offerings cheeky )

3 AAA games, solid month

I own two... but both welcome... only paid just over a quid for dragon age anyway...

And I did a big dance (in my head) for AC 3.... cracking game that
