Not to bring PSN into this thread, but MS need to do much better. They are giving Tomb Raider a 2013 hit game, & MS giving out game from 2008 that you can get cheap from bargain bin? Really!
PSN have given out Bioshock infinite & now Tomb Raider, both 2013 games. That's fairly new for me.Dungeon Defenders came out at the very end of 2011 & it is probably the best Arcade game released last gen. I don't get what people are so upset about. What do people expect from these free games? They aren't going to give you something brand new.
Wow, civilisation sure hold its value. Ok, I stand corrected. But I seriously think XBOX should improve the offering to more latest games, & start having games on XBOXone. They are now lacking behind by quite a bit from their rival.Which bargain bin would that be?
Civ Rev is more expensive than Tomb Raider on Amazon.de

Publishers are less likely to give newer games away for free and that's the main difference between this offer and PSN+, they are giving us these games.Wow, civilisation sure hold its value.

Assassin's Creed II and Shoot Many Robots were awesome for me. Might be in the minority, but I want MS to give older games as well. Never played stuff like Gun, Rockstar Table Tennis, Peter Jackson's King Kong, James Cameron's Avatar, Godfather, etc. Don't see any problem with offering a variety. If anything, I'd be pissed that they'd offer a game so soon after launch and I happened to buy it. Like Plants vs Zombies: GW or Arkham Origins.Civ Rev is a great game.

Why not? It's not like a game is somehow no go I'd because it wasn't released recently.
This is the best time for the old consoles. All the games are out there and likely heavily discounted. Find something you missed and get it cheap!
So when is Games With Gold supposed to be coming to the One?
This is why I'm not buying xbox one games now. I know 3 years from now they'll be free with Games with gold!
yeah, I know. I'm clever.
I think the summer sounds about right. I`ll take a stab and say 3 GFG are released per month. One normal budget 360 games, one XBLA style 360 game and one X1 game which can be either a normal or small budget game.What if Games with Gold for Xbox One starts next month or even After E3 events? Never know!
Civ Rev, awesome. Still own that game actually but haven't played it in years. Fun game though, worth picking up if anyone hasn't played it yet.Civilization: revolution and dungeon defenders this month. Previously owned civ rev, great game, might download again!
