Played this one a long time ago, pretty good game but the open-world doesn't really match up to more recent games.

Also, I hate to be that guy, but MS should really start adding some newer titles to this service. PS Plus just got Hitman Absolution, a game from 2012. Crackdown is from 2007. Rant over, enjoy the game guys.

I don't think MS is just giving away random games. Most of the games seem to relate to games coming to the X1.

Fable 3- Fable Anniversary releasing/potential Fable 4 announcement@ Gamescom
AC2- AC: Black Flag
Crackdown- Crackdown 3 most likely announcement@ Gamescom
DeadRising 2/Case Zero- Dead Rising 3 for X1

Only one without a connection is Defense Grid. 

Perhaps they're just wishing they had a defense grid to protect the X1 from all the internet hate? :D

Great points tho, drum up interest in upcoming possible games, could be a great move + you got happy fans who use gold, always good.
