Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Neither Halo nor AC3 is the first free game offered for XBLG!!

As part of the “Games With Gold” program announced at E3 in June, I wanted to give you a heads up the next title will be Defense Grid: The Awakening. Normally 800 Microsoft Points, Defense Grid: The Awakening will be free for Xbox LIVE Gold members July 1st through July 15th .

Didn't MS say that Halo 3 or AC3 would be the first offerings after Fable 3?

They also said you would own the games, but you don't.  You can only play the game while your signed into xbox live.



Nowhere in the E3 press conference did Microsoft say that AC2 or Halo 3 would be the first games offered. Kotaku reported it wrong.

You don't need to be signed in if you're using it on the console that has the license. The license can be transfered as well.

When they said you own the game. Perhaps they meant it doesn't go away if you cancel gold. Contrary to PS+.

Like someone else said they never stated that those would be the first offerings. All though I'm disappointed in the first game.

I mean tower defense games are fun, but you can play numerous custom map tower defense games with basically any Blizzard RTS.

You guys are nuts, I'd have this game over assassins creed 2 any day... Very fun game that I've already played and beaten sadly



Considering I don't have this game and I do have Ac2 and Halo 3, I'm not disappointed with this. Obviously others wont feel the same way, but those games will come eventually.



This game is actually really awesome... I got it on PC and it's the only Tower Defense game I actually love. I hate that genre apart from this game.



Defense Grid is a great game. Free for 2 weeks? Wonder if this means they cycle games every 2 weeks.
