Games with Gold

First time so far I've looked at GwG and thought, "Definitely downloading that".

Haven't played Black Flag at all, so should be good.

Ac:black flag free, pity I already have it. On the plus side....... won't be long till we get Ryse

Great news about 2 games.

I wonder if it will be 1 indie/arcade type game and then the other being a more major game like July.

Only thing is I got Assassins Black flag in my Xbox bundle. (Still haven't played it!)

Must say that XBOX One is really turning into a great console package with all the updates and features. Very happy I got it, as I really prefer it to PS.

My PS4 is currently gathering dust. I got fed up with uninstalling games to play new ones, and the inability to install to an external drive still baffles me. So the Xbox One has a 2TB HD connected to it and gets used all the time (plus the wife uses it to watch cable)

Quick question on this - can you just connect a HD by USB and extra storage compared to the X360 which needed a specific Xbox storage unit?

Have played and beat both black flag and gears of war 3 and have played plants vs zombies so nothing special for me, so many me looks interesting, shall give it a try.

Rossi IRL · 26-06-2015 6:28pm

Is there a way to add gears 3 to my collection even if i dont have a 360 anymore?

It would come in handy for the backwards compat

Indeed, I have this page favourited:

http://www.xbox.com/en-IE/live/games-with-gold?xr=shellnav

That way, whenever they become available, I go and get them all, and by the time I'm home, they've already downloaded. Even the 360 games just get added to my queue, as I haven't even got it plugged in anymore.

I avoided this for ages because it was asking me for credit card details. But it turns out you still have to "buy" the game, including giving your credit card details. But the price is "Free".

I am not 100% sure but I think you can have a paypal account instead.

You're probably gone beyond using the 360, but it supports 2TB external harddrives now.

Does this include game downloads and installs, or is it just for other stuff?

Larger external USB hard drives – Plug in any external USB hard drive up to 2 TB to store your Xbox 360 downloads, profile, saved games, and other data.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag for Xbox One is up now on GWG.

martin101 · 01-07-2015 9:47am

people are getting mixed up between 2 different games,

Plants V Zombies - Garden Warfare - is discounted, and is a shooter, think of a colourful, scaled down version of battlefield.

Plants V Zombies - is a tower defense game, which is going to be free with gold.

Garden Warfare is on Deals with Gold.

The original Plants Vs Zombies is on Games with Gold, it just hasn't appeared on the Games with Gold page yet. Sometimes that page can be half a day behind, but it's weird that they've got the Xbox One games there, but no 360 games.

Anyway, PvZ is currently free here.

martin101 · 01-07-2015 10:23am

Ah right. I see. Cheers guys. It will probably be another game I will never get around to playing anyway ha ha

I didn't realise they were both on deals/games with gold at the sand time. Already have Garden Warfare, played it for about 15 mins and never turned it on again!
