Games with Gold going down the same route as PS+ also it seems

Quote:

Free Games Offer: For paid Gold members only. On Xbox One, active Gold membership required to play free games you’ve downloaded. Must download titles during designated window. Kinect and/or hard drive required for some games.
Good news as now they may finally get good titles like PS+

June GWG announced for both 360 and One

Quote:

To celebrate the one-year anniversary of Games with Gold for Xbox 360 and as a thank you for helping shape this program, members will receive an additional free Xbox 360 game in June. The Games with Gold titles for Xbox 360 in June are “Dark Souls,” “Charlie Murder” and a bonus game of “Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.” We’re pleased to bring Games with Gold to Xbox Live Gold members on Xbox One in June. Members will have subscription-based access to free games ranging from top hits to breaking indie stars. The program will launch on Xbox One with “Max: The Curse of Brotherhood” and “Halo: Spartan Assault.” A single Gold membership will get you access to the free games for both Xbox One and Xbox 360.
Race is on now lads

Hope it can match Plus.

Microsoft stepping their game up. Will have to see how things go at E3.

Scarlett. 14-05-2014 01:29 PM

Glad Xbox have done this, they're actually a real competition for the PS4 now, though I reckon Sony will announce a price cut at E3 to combat this. In the end, its good news for all of us.

Scarlett. 16-05-2014 02:14 PM

It's hilarious hearing certain corners of the media crying about the death of Kinect, while all the actual gamers are like "At long ****ing last".

Ramsay 16-05-2014 09:57 PM

Halo: The Master Chief Collection leaked for Xbone

Ryan57 18-05-2014 10:26 PM

Might get that. Never played a Halo game.

Ramsay 18-05-2014 10:58 PM

Wow really? I always found the series a bit overated. but the multiplayer :lovedup:

Ryan57 18-05-2014 11:00 PM

Yeah, never had an original Xbox nor did I get it on 360 in the short time I had one.

Ramsay 22-05-2014 11:52 AM

*Dashes*

Ryan57 22-05-2014 12:29 PM

Appears to be a glorified demo.

Ramsay 22-05-2014 12:30 PM

yeah seems the be the case :(

Ryan57 22-05-2014 12:31 PM

Finally confirmed your friend request. I hadn't been on for a while. :p

Ramsay 22-05-2014 12:40 PM

Hahah it's grand. we should hit up a game of golf sometime :joker:

Ryan57 22-05-2014 08:32 PM

Are you able to play through it without paying for courses?

Ramsay 24-05-2014 12:15 PM

There's a ''free events'' mode that has like three game modes including a training course. each of them has like 4 or 5 different areas but they are mostly the same. can't get achivements and don't think i can play online unless it gets bought :/ so yeah pretty much just a demo lol

Ramsay 24-05-2014 12:15 PM



This just happened about 5 mins ago ha

Black Dagger 24-05-2014 12:18 PM

I want both consoles to sell well -just reading up at the top-, fanboys are awful tbh, I can't see me wanting an XboxOne anytime soon, they have no real appeal to me, and when PS4 start kicking in with the strong exclusive line-up range I know I'll be ready to buy one, right now I'm just biding my time until I get a job :laugh:

But it's nice Microsoft are sorting their **** out, they were absolute bellends last year.

Ramsay 24-05-2014 12:19 PM

Phil Spencer is a GOAT. seems like a great lad. hopefully with the new kinect-less console coming out it'll shift some more units but really i think kinect is worth it i love it. and i was so against it for ages. but then again it's not really needed isit? I'm much preferring the xbone as a whole atm than the PS. i play it much more. prefer the exclusives right now and i generally prefer the UI and stuff. they bring out monthly updates but i think PS have only brought out one since launch? Still though i'll be getting most third party games on PS4 obviously

Scarlett. 24-05-2014 01:12 PM

I think now that the Kinect has been dropped, Xbox needs to find a new 'thing', not a new silly add on though, lol.

Ryan57 24-05-2014 05:22 PM

It's best for us gamers that all three platforms do well. No competition would make for a dull gaming industry.

Stu 24-05-2014 05:51 PM

I have yet to get either console and a bizarre part of my wants the Xbox as I always go for the underselling, weirder systems at first. I had a PS3 in the first year when it was about as cool as bringing all your hand painted Warhammer 40K figures to show and tell day.

Definately, an overpriced one too, lol.
