Valiant Hearts is meant to be very good. Would be delighted about walking dead if I didn't already have it.

Same as that, Walking Dead season 1 for those who haven't played it tho, ENJOY!

I'm actually playing Valiant Hearts this week. Fantastic game and worth paying money for, let alone getting for free.

I'm jealous of anyone who hasn't played The Walking Dead yet. Having it on both consoles is a bit strange. It's not a month for Xbox One users to look forward to in terms of backwards compatibility.

If you've got a friend with an Xbox 360, could you add your account to their Xbox?

Microsoft changed their system awhile back so that people could "download" games without owning the relevant console, so I'm not sure why it's not working for you. It does sound as if there's just something wrong with the set up of your account, but Microsoft have one of the worst account management set-ups going.

Have you downloaded any other 360 Games with Gold games before?

AFAIK you need to have logged in on a 360 at least once.

This is my first 360 GwG download.

I broke down and got a used Xbox 360 after work. Crysis 3 is downloading right now My gaming backlog has been expanding in all directions lately...

It would have been fantastic if their support folks could have told me that in the first place. Thanks everyone!

It will take longer to download the game then actually play the campaign.

Haven't played either of those so I'll probably pick them up.
I watched a playthrough of Walking Dead but TellTale games have so many different ways of ending up I'm confident it won't be the same as the one I watched.

Came home locked last night and bought ryse.

F**k.

after tomb raider gate, if this is gwg next month man will i be pissed.

I'm actually quite enjoying Tomb Raider; I'm not sure I'd have felt the same way if I paid for it though.

I paid €4 for it and at the time thought that's about what it's worth, pretty boring and simplistic, just felt like running from one cutscene to the next with little sense of achievement.

I think €4 is about the max I'd feel comfortable paying for it now that I've played it. For free though, it's pretty fun.

4 quid...what?!! I really enjoyed it. Great game.

Same, I completed it 100% on pc last year and really enjoyed it.

I enjoyed it too, but I wish there'd been more tomb raiding and less combat.

I found the combat quite clunky, particularly hand-to-hand.

to be fair combat has never been good in any tombraider game, I actually enjoyed the game from top to bottom, I can see why people griped about the mass murder of so many soldiers, but at the end of the day, its still a very fine game.

Rather than the mass murder of every kind of endangered species. No matter what she was killing, the vast number of deaths was always going to be unrealistic.

I've always found it to be one of the more unusual things to gripe about, almost every game has genocide against some "enemy".

That didn't really bother me, as it was certainly framed in a "kill or be killed" point of view story-wise.

The game is just very short and linear; the movement controls are ok but not amazing; the Tomb Raiding is ancillary at best.

It's certainly not a bad game, I'm just saying I'm glad I didn't pay for it!

MGS, nice. Although still haven't gotten around to playing crysis....or sleeping dogs.....or future soldier....or pretty much anything released on gwg apart from Super Street Fighter

I still get excited about a new free game though. I've got issues

Tomb Raider has been one of the best games I have played on the Xbox One. I am looking forward to the sequel.

It's a game I would have no problem paying full price for like many people have. It was worth every penny. I enjoyed it so much I went down the completionist route trying to get the most out of it which is very unlike me.

Was glad I picked it up in the summer last year, really enjoyed it and getting most of the achievements. The multiplayer was good fun too!
