Damn. Great games. Still own the disc version of TR and own B:I digitally. I guess I'll jettison the disc version of TR tonight.

LOL It may end up being the Halo: MCC debacle where bunch of people traded in their copies only to find that the sale wasnt going to be the sale they expected.

 
Well, I got TR as part of the bundles 360 and I have a physical copy from Target with the steelcase. I was going to buy BI and glad I didn't if it's true.

March Free Games with Gold:

360

1-15 Tomb Raider

16-31 Bioshock: Infinite
Click to expand...
Both have been PS+ free games so it seems perfectly plausible. I'd like to play Tomb Raider again on a different platform so it's a win for me. Don't really care to play Bioshock Infinite again. Two AAA titles in the same month would be a little different for MS, though.

Burial at Sea Episode 2 is a 2 part download to get around DLC size limits on the 360 marketplace. The 2nd part is free but unusable without paying $14.99 for the 1st part.

Brilliant...I have useless DLC under my name now :) Thanks Bloomy! (Edit: thanks for explaining that, I mean)

Hope that's wrong since I just bought it when it was on sale.

 
I have so many digital games that I feel like I need to do an audit to keep tabs on them.

Is there a way to get a list of purchased/downloaded games from Xbox.com? I used to be able do so in the past, but when I go to Payment & Billing now, they give me a very short list. When I click on "see all transactions" the query keeps coming back with nothing.

Anyone has any ideas?

 
someone posted this screenshot on Gaf. More interesting news is April will get double the games

Seems to good to be true with Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite being GwG when you hear it

I always wanted to get a digital version of Tomb Raider

and i just started up Bioshock 1 and i have 2 as well so it would be nice to get the whole series

The CoD exoskeleton link was posted in the freebies thread back in early November. I did a quick check and didn't find it posted in here, but it probably made the rounds then.

Bought which? Rayman? Or BioShock Infinite? Rayman hasn't been lower than $20 digitally on the marketplace, not sure about physical. If BioShock infinite, I digital double dipped that at $4.49 over the holidays. But I won't mind if the pass finally gets a 50% off sale. It will be the game's 2 year anniversary in late March, and 1 year for the last DLC.

 
Good thing I waited on Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite two new free games for me =)

still will have to get the Bioshock DLC though...

Also I just discovered Tomb Raider has a Multi Player Part? Seriously? Why do companies need the feel to shove in MP all the time?

Especially on Games that worked very well as SP Games? I'm looking at you Assassin's Creed!

I am going to stop buying any games from now on until I know the April game list, just to make sure I take full advantage of what the GwG offers. (Just need to keep telling that to myself, over and over.)

I think they threw that in there just to rival uncharted. Never played it didn't look too fun and I think there was only a few maps

 
Ironically, Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite were the only games I completed last year. I will probably que them up anyway if they happen to be free. I qued up Halo Reach and Darksiders 2 months ago and still haven't downloaded them. How pitiful.

The CoD exoskeleton link was posted in the freebies thread back in early November. I did a quick check and didn't find it posted in here, but it probably made the rounds then.

Bought which? Rayman? Or BioShock Infinite? Rayman hasn't been lower than $20 digitally on the marketplace, not sure about physical. If BioShock infinite, I digital double dipped that at $4.49 over the holidays. But I won't mind if the pass finally gets a 50% off sale. It will be the game's 2 year anniversary in late March, and 1 year for the last DLC.

Rayman (though I have the other two through PS+), bought it for $20 when I had that expiring credit. Sad month of GWG for me if that list is accurate.

I have so many digital games that I feel like I need to do an audit to keep tabs on them.

Is there a way to get a list of purchased/downloaded games from Xbox.com? I used to be able do so in the past, but when I go to Payment & Billing now, they give me a very short list. When I click on "see all transactions" the query keeps coming back with nothing.

Anyone has any ideas?

I go to purchase history and choose Arcade Games and Full Games. Wait for it to load and scroll down. The list should get longer as you scroll down.

If we do get double the game in April, I wonder if we'll get an extra game in June for the Anniversary like last year.

 
I need ALL the Assassin's Creed DLC except for the Brotherhood DLC. I've been crossing my fingers every week for a sale. Now we have an AC-related sale, and no DLC discount at all. This makes me sad.

Maybe it's a reason to puff out their chest since E3 is right around the corner :razz:

I honestly don't think I'll ever get a freebie as part of this GWG program which I don't own or played......or even one I want. Comes with the territory of having a 360 for the past 9+ years and loving to play games. Oh well. I have no right to complain honestly. Just pointing out the program isn't for me really.

 
damn it's a killer month for gold if those are accurate.  Rayman Legends is awesome.  Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider for 360.  Wow, great

 
IN BEFORE....

"I just bought this for $9 yesterday this is crap i hate you you're not my father i wish you were dead, EA."

....I learned my lesson two months ago when EA pulled this stunt with UFC.  Still mad about that, but....Live and learn.

first it's on sale for $40, then the following week for $9 and now it's free on access?!

I don't have ea access or any interest in nba live but that's pretty shitty.

It was known that it was coming to EA Access before the $9 sale began.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/02/13/nba-live-15-coming-to-ea-access

Since they've put almost everything on EA Access that they've put out on Xbox One before the holiday season, I don't know why any subscriber would buy any of their games during a sale unless they don't care about it going free.

Not sure why people are surprised, it was mentioned on their facebook page I believe, and we all said it like a million times that it would be coming to the vault. Anyone who is upset should only be mad at themselves

Meh. Madden and NBA are all I'd play, anyway, and I got those for a grand total of $9, thanks to last week. I have the Forzas for racing and I played PvZ on tablet and thought it was boring as shit. I hate UFC and everything associated with it. EA Access is not for me.

Getting Rayman for free next month is cool and 2 games in April rocks, as long as RBI isn't one of them. :)

Only thing that makes me skeptical is that the dates are for March but the logo says for April. A little fishy to me.

Would Love to get Rayman Legends on Xbox One. Almost bought it on PS4 a few weeks ago when it was on sale for $10. Still haven't finished Origins but have heard Legends is as good or better.

EDIT: Nevermind, the paragraph below the games mentions that April will have double games. Dofus.

you do know the PvZ game thats available through EA access is not the tablet tower defense game right? its a third person class based shooter with Vs, and a horde style coop mode.

Also how could you just hate ufc? I mean I hate the parts where the sweaty men in tiny shorts are rubbing all over each other on the ground, but when someone gets knocked out its spectacular.

 
If the March predictions are true, that's a good month then. And if April is true, I'm super excited to see what they mean by "double". 

Also, Tomb Raider doesn't have any New Game + system, does it?

oh I'm not upset like I said I could care less about ea access or nba live but to have a game one week at 40, next week 9 is already pretty bad but then to be free on access the following week is pretty whack. Not everyone follows ea's tweets and I didn't hear about it anywhere but meh I really don't care but I'm sure others will be.

Also I just discovered Tomb Raider has a Multi Player Part? Seriously? Why do companies need the feel to shove in MP all the time?
Especially on Games that worked very well as SP Games?
Click to expand...
Multiplayer is added in an attempt to combat used games sales. The corporate concept is that if the game is single player only, once the campaign is completed a section of gamers will sell off the game, expecting never to play it again. By adding a multiplayer, there is hope that gamers will continue to play the game online, in an ever changing environment against (new) challengers.

Further expanding on the time-killing aspect, Tomb Raider has a leveling system in the single player, making you have to progressively enhance your weapons and abilities. It's also seen in the multiplayer, where you need to increase your level to unlock weapons, accessories and even things like character skins for use in the game.

Noting that, it's not always a bad thing. I actually liked the multiplayer in Tomb Raider (yet hated the single player). I'm currently playing Batman: Arkham Origins, and am really liking it's online mode, but when the online was announced there was an immediate rejection by a portion of the online forum community. The same was true of Bioshock 2 and Dead Space 2. There's nothing pressuring you to play the online mode, it's just another option to extend the value of your gaming experience.

Hopefully this will give an increase in the Tomb Raider community for a few weeks. Just watch out for hopping level 60's with their instant kill bow and arrows.
