It's a bit disingenuous of MS to have a game on sale a month ago, and then release it on Game With Gold. They shouldn't be surprised if people stop purchasing games on sale if they're going to pull a cash-grab stunt like this.

Picked it up on sale last month. Will hold off now in future if a game comes up at a knockdown price like TR did, only for it to be free a month or two later.

thats been happening since games with gold started on the 360, and you'll often see games that are free with gold, go on sale frequently after that. personally I've no problem with it, If you thought it was good value at a tenner, you still got the enjoyment out of it.

Well I've been an Xbox Live member since 2008, and that hasn't been my experience. I haven't seen a AAA title be so heavily discounted in a sale and then made available free through Games with Gold so soon after.

Don't get me wrong, I still got more than my value for money out of the game, but it just left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Nobody likes being made feel a bit of a chump.

you just never know. I let some games pass on sale gambling on getting them free but it hasn't happened. regret it now, actually even bought one of them cheapish enough in argos but not as cheap as the games with gold sale. Been holding out for Wolfenstein for so long now....maybe next month!

So, now we have cracked the pattern. When Ryse is a tenner, within three months it will be GwG.

Deer God is a waste of time. Game is ridiculously buggy and glitchy, even if you want to run through it for achievements you can't because even they are glitched.
Made it as far as a fully grown deer and died, respawned as a fawn and can't jump over any platforms so I just got trapped. Textures don't appear in certain parts, lot of invisible walls, for such a simple platform game its pretty rubbish

In relation to the zombie game, does anyone know is it related to the similar store game that came out a number of years ago.. The name escapes me but it was a top down, co-op optional game.

Watched a bit on twitch and I looked identical.

Zombie Apocalypse maybe? If it's that then it's not much like it. How to survive has 5 or 6 islands , crafting, a day - night cycle etc.

Gave it a search since your suggestion didn't show up a result.

Dead Nation is what it was. May have been PS3 only though but it had certain similarity to this minus the RPG aspects, was more of an arcade shooter.
Still a bit similar, thought it may have been the same devs.

My game wont even save, say's it's saved but when i go back to play it starts again. Can't get my head around the game at all. It just makes no sense.

You know what the worst part about those broken achievements is ???? They have been broken in the steam version since it's release in February so that means that they were ported over to the xbox broken. Which says little more to me than "lazy cash grab"

Maybe the extra exposure of being on games with gold and people on various achievement tracking sites taking to their twitter might pressure them into fixing the game over all but for now I won't be going them the revenue generated by me clicking download on it.

Would have to agree with Stone Deaf quite possibly the worst GwG title.

I died as a fox, then re-incarnated as a fawn I was then killed by some jumping frogs, and re-incarnated as a porcupine that couldn't jump, I then had to mash the A button as said porcupine for 10 mins so I could die and then go back to being the fawn that was then killed by those stupid jumping spiders.

I give up, I just don't get it

Is the zombie game any use? Have been replaying the mass effect trilogy so have MGS, the 2 metro games and that plane fighting game(yeh to lazy to check :pac:) still to play so I'll be busy until fallout 4 at least.
