Much easier to find it on the website but there is usually an ad in the Games - Browse Games - Featured section of the dashboard.

If they're not advertising the GWG section, I usually just search for the game (bumper all the way left).

Its also sometime shown on the "home" portion - but this is probably more so when the new games are active for free download.

I find it quite hard to find on X-Box One as well, if I don't know in advance what the new game is going to end up being, but you can usually tell from what rando indie game is now Number 1 in the Best Seller chart in the game menu out of nowhere, hahaha

The Telltale collection has gone back to €110.

Ha! Bugger that. That solves my dilemma anyway. I thought it was part of deals with Gold for January? Must have been just a separate offer. Ah well, no way am I paying €110 after it previously being at €55.

It was part of the Countdown to 2015 list of games that were reduced, which they extended til 6th January.

Likewise for The Raven which was released not long ago. Wife liked it, she doesn't like many xbox games, so had to pay up for the other two episodes. Need more games like that for people such as my wife.

Well screw that! Second episode lasted all of about 20 mins total game play. Not buying third episode. :mad:

When I go to order MX v ATV on the GWG menu, it shows free. Then on the confirmation screen its showing €39.99 ... normally it just shows 0.00

MX vs ATV Alive is such a grind, no proper campaign, and the controls aren't great. I found it strangely compelling though, a good podcast game. One of the few from GWG that I've actually finished

I can't stop playing it. I get bored with it but won't stop. Can't for the life of me figure out what the clutch us for. Theres also some more free stuff in the motor depot menu.

I’ve never played the game, but in real life, you use the clutch on a dirtbike to modulate the power delivery -eg, pull the clutch, rev the nuts off it, let go the clutch – wheelie time! Also, when your in the air off a jump, opening the throttle raises the front wheel, pressing the back brake drops it. Using the clutch to kill the power delivery to the back wheel lets you stay level without bringing up the front end whilst maintaining an open throttle.

Also in slower sections you keep the throttle constant and touch the clutch every now and again when you need to relax the power – doing all that with the throttle makes it very jerky.


Tbh, I’d be amazed if the game has an in depth representation of this though. Must download it tonight and see.

RobertFoster

The only thing I used the clutch for was at the start of races. Hold it and the accelerator until the gate drops, then release it to try and get a jump on the rest.

Stone Deaf 4evr, if only you'd told me all that before I started the game :pac: Another gripe I have with it is the lack of tutorial. It never mentions the throttle, and I don't think it tells you to use the right stick to lean around corners either. Doesn't tell you how to trick either.

Also noticed the quads have a wrist throttle instead of a thumb throttle. Nice blonde chick in the hot pants though.

It usually overlaps by a day, so you may well find it is free if you search for it (although I notice I can't find it via the normal link: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/The-Witcher-2-Assassins-of-Kings/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80257520824 so perhaps not)

Yep seems to be back up, was a 404 error page for a few hours there, odd!

Is witcher 2 not available for Irish users? If not are we getting a different free game?

Is anyone getting a page not found when searching for Xbox 360 games? I get the below, also no game listed for 360 on the "Games with Gold"

Ooops! What happened to this page?
We’ve moved some things around.

The page you are looking for may have a new location, or is no longer available. You might want to:
Start again from the homepage.
Check that you are using the website for your country or region.

Apparently Purchase and Content Usage is limited on the 360 according to xbox live status.
I hope they sort things soon because I am kinda looking forward to playing The Witcher 2 tonight.

What games are available on gold at the minute for 360, I'm thinking of giving it one more 12 month sub. Cheers
