Everything "Games for Gold" has offered has either been a cheap ass Live game or an old ass retail game.Dang that's an old ass game.
More like 8-track, because people still buy cassettes.That's like a used car company offering a free cassette deck installed with every car sold.

3 years ago is pretty old to me.Dead Rising 2 is an old ass game?
That's what I've been doing. Same thing with the humble bundle. I'm taking brutal legend in too.Don't forget that BestBuy has a 100% trade in event going on, so you can get 50 cents for your used copy.
It's a token gesture, to make it appear like they're on par with the PS+ free games program. And an attempt to keep and entice some of the newer people to the Xbox ecosystem. I've never played RSV, for example, so I ain't complaining (but, for the record, it's not working at making me loyal to Xbox...I just can't resist free).Oh thank you Microsoft for showering us with such amazing top of the line content.... Ugh could they even dig deeper into the bargain bin?
This game came out nearly 7 freaking years ago, and it costs 3 dollars for a physical copy at gamestop. At this point they really might as well just stop.
LMAOMicrosoft should change the name from "Game with Gold" to "Game with Golden Age games".
When the XBox has been around since what 2005, I'd say 3 years doesn't qualify as "old ass".3 years ago is pretty old to me.
I'm going to add Defense Grid to that list too, not because it was the only other XBLA game, but it's like... all the others have been staples of Xbox one way or another (other than Magic)... but then Defense Grid?When the XBox has been around since what 2005, I'd say 3 years doesn't qualify as "old ass".
Still, yes, many of these games are older but they've all been well reviewed, decent games at least. The only real head-scratcher so far has been the Magic game since it's so niche.
I have to respectfully disagree. Tower Defense games are one of the most "mainstream" (and yes, casual as well) games out there. Magic on the other hand is a video game based off a niche card game making it double-niche I guess you could say.I'm going to add Defense Grid to that list too, not because it was the only other XBLA game, but it's like... all the others have been staples of Xbox one way or another (other than Magic)... but then Defense Grid?

I never said it wasn't 'mainstream' or anything... it's just not a staple of what you think about Xbox... Assassins Creed, Crackdown, Dead Rising, Rainbow Six, Halo... all of those scream Xbox. Defense Grid doesn't scream Xbox. It screams Humble Bundle to me.I have to respectfully disagree. Tower Defense games are one of the most "mainstream" (and yes, casual as well) games out there.

Compare what PS+ is getting compared to this. Consider that PS+ is $10 cheaper per year tooIt's amazing how people bitch and moan as if they actually deserve something more. Take it or leave it, it's free. Don't sit here and whine about it...
You also don't get to keep anything you get with PS+. Either way, the fact is no one deserves a damn thing. This isn't a part of the paid service, this is a bonus. Take it or leave it. No one has any right to bitch about it though, like some self-entitled child. That's about as pathetic as going to the grocery store and complaining that the free samples aren't entire unopened products.Compare what PS+ is getting compared to this.

It's not free if you are paying $60 for Live (even if alot of people around here don't actually pay anywhere close to $60 for Live). How many people have already played these games years ago? I would guesstimate the majority of Live members have played at least 50%+ of these games if not all of them.It's amazing how people bitch and moan as if they actually deserve something more. Take it or leave it, it's free. Don't sit here and whine about it...
Oh gee, saving hundreds of dollars a year for what I get sure does make me angry that I can't keep them even though I will be paying for PS+ every year because it's an amazing serviceYou also don't get to keep anything you get with PS+
Incorrect. This is Microsoft trying to compete with PS+, which by the way is going horribly and making me (and probably many many others) not reconsider my PS4 pre orderEither way, the fact is no one deserves a damn thing. This isn't a part of the paid service, this is a bonus. Take it or leave it.
Oh man how dare I voice my opinion that Microsoft is doing a horrible job compared to their competitor. Shall I kiss Steve Balmer's feet to apologize because obviously you don't think people deserve to publicly voice their opinions and choices?No one has any right to bitch about it though, like some self-entitled child.That's about as pathetic as going to the grocery store and complaining that the free samples aren't entire unopened products.
Well since I'm paying for both PSN+ and XBLG Gold I'll chose "leave it". My sub expires in November.You also don't get to keep anything you get with PS+.

Comparing what is being offered to the competition =/= self entitlement. The moment PS+ started giving away games Microsoft should of reacted. They didn't. Now it's just one of the many reasons Xbox One is going to be in last place next generationSomething tells me you've never worked a day in your life, what with your immense self-entitlement issues.
"Give me more, give me more! I deserve everything free!"
Tell me, where in the TOS does it state you'll receive free games as a part of your Live service? Nowhere? Hmm... The irony is, had they never offered you any free video games to begin with, you wouldn't be whining at all. Now that they offer up a few, suddenly you deserve everything. Grow up. If someone gives you a gift, shut your mouth and take it.
Jesus man, are you serious? Has nothing to do with "Terms of Service". Nobody is suggesting they are entitled to anything legally, or based on Terms of Service..Something tells me you've never worked a day in your life, what with your immense self-entitlement issues.

Not to mention the fact that MS hyped this promotion big time....and it's been underwhelming...free or not, it's not much to be excited about (yeah a game I bought 3 years ago and sold because I realized I would NEVER play it and never did)....Nice try, MS exec.
Your analogy makes no sense since you don't pay for free samples at the grocery store. Games for Gold is one of the benefits of Xbox Live Gold, a $60/year service.
Wow. Apparently you've never been involved with upper management for companies because the competition (sony) is starting to make up a lot of ground on microsoft and they really need to put in a better effort to stay at the top. This isn't about entitlement...it's the simple fact that another company is offering more to use their services and many will choose that option. This isn't hard to understand....phone company offers better services and phones at a cheaper price so people will switch.Something tells me you've never worked a day in your life, what with your immense self-entitlement issues.
