They said they would give those games in the coming months they never said they would be first.

Pretty disappointing so far though, games that are at least three years old and barely cost anything to buy retail, better than nothing but they better not act like this is a way to compare to the PS+. Only makes it worse that the XBLA game we are getting for free was already being given away by the developer a few months ago.

Is that free for you? It's still 800 points for me.

well OXM reported those 2 for july , and even xbox support added to this (taken from OXM own article) https://twitter.com/xboxkid510/status/351525397868986368/photo/1

Major Nelson - "Sorry about the disappointment," Nelson wrote. "Not sure how people started to assume that H3 and AC2 were coming in July. I thought it was pretty clear in the briefing, but I guess not that clear."

I'm guesing that Assassins Creed 2 and Halo 3 will be the best games they offer, perhaps even the only two noteworthy games they release as they are the only two they have mentioned several times at this point.

They will be released in the coming months. Fable III was the first game I saw as free. Followed by Spartacus: Legends, which I find to be very fun. What tower defense game was released?

I think it was called Tower Defense: The Awakening? Or something like that.

Anyway, I'm getting a little tired of MS's crud.

First it was the bad Xbox One policies. Then it was their complete ignorance when they defended those policies. And it took a huge outcry for them to reverse it.

And now, when they say that they're releasing good old titles for free, they send out a crappy little tower defense game. Just so they can say that they're giving away free games like Sony is. (speaking of which, they're releasing Battlefield 3 for free soon on PSN. I never liked PS that much, but...)

I bet that Assasin's Creed 2 and Halo 3 will be some of the last ones they release, because everyone will be concerned with switching over to XB1, rather than the free games.

I like Xbox, and want to stay with them for gaming, but MS might screw themselves over eventually (and their anti-indie policies might contribute to that... unless someone can tell me why they do a $10,000 update fee. I heard there might be a reason behind that).

MS better be careful. They're running the risk of not being top dog anymore.

Spartacus had nothing to do with MS giving games for free though.

And now, when they say that they're releasing good old titles for free, they send out a crappy little tower defense game.

The game is supposed to be pretty good the real problems with them giving us it are that the game was already being given away for PC games a few months ago and the sad thing is that with a price of $10 the tower defense game is worth almost twice as much as buying a used retail copy of Halo 3, Assassins Creed 2, or Fable 3 for the 360.

I hope you mean mad because we only know about 4 pretty much worthless games at this point and not mad because they got one game instead of Halo or AC. I'm pretty sure that if anyone really wanted to play AC2 or Halo 3 they would have spent the $5 over the last few years to get it.

No i mean mad it wasn't Halo3 and ACII. Major Nelsons website has like over 2000 posts mostly angry.
