its there alright, just took this screenshot

rayman! oh man! rayman! definitely playing through this again for those achievements

 

[Hatchtag]

There's a post on Reddit claiming the GWG for March are Rayman Legends and #IDARB for XB1 and Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite for 360. Says the source is Expert Zone so I have no idea as to the validity.

Also says that April will have "twice the free games."

I could see them teasing it/testing the waters in April then officially doubling it at E3.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

I'm really happy with Rayman. Was looking to pick it up recently but couldn't find a decent price anywhere so this is perfect for me.

 

[statham]

Great games, too bad I have them all, well not on the 360. Wouldn't mind owning TR on 360 so I have it on everything.

 

[MikeE21286]

Own tomb raider and bio shock on multiple platforms already.

Ray man will be nice though

 

[Dragonborn]

Rayman is perfect timing since I ended up going with the Vita version during the PSN sale. But we get IDARB again? isn't that already free?

 

[Gambit1977]

I've had rayman on PS4 and WIIU in fact on PS4 twice, and I'll still play it through. Great game, the co-op is sublime.

 

[kingwingin]

That's how they've been doing it on Xbox One. One new game and the game from last month carries over.

oh ok, I never really paid attention to it before.

 

[Cipher]

Rayman is nice. I wonder if the DLC for Bioshock Infinite will go on sale when it's free. I missed out the last time it was on sale.

 

[jbug617]

its there alright, just took this screenshot

I hope the double the games (Xbox One) in April isn't a one time thing.

 

[Bsigg12]

GwG on the Xbox One is weird in that the game will be up for two months rather than having 2 new games each month.

 

[LordBaztion]

So, Rayman may be the first X1 retail game in GwG

 

[Dragonborn]

GwG on the Xbox One is weird in that the game will be up for two months rather than having 2 new games each month.

Yea I just the other post. Good to finally see MS trying to put up a fight

 

[EchoChamber]

Fucking Rayman yes

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

If Rayman Legends is the next Xbox One GwG offering then that would be awesome. I already played through it once, but if anyone hasn't played it, I would recommend it. It was a very, very good game.

 

[TheAdmiester]

Aprils games are great if I didn't already have them all. I bought TR on sale digitally last year. Got Bioshock free on Plus and bought Rayman on PS3 last year on sale digitally.

Fuck.

April's games haven't been revealed yet.

 

[Timu]

Will give Rayman Legends a download on X1.

 

[kevin1025]

its there alright, just took this screenshot

So in April they are actually offering two games that month rather than keeping a game around so they can say there's technically two games a month?

Rayman Legends would be great, and for those who haven't played Tomb Raider or Bioshock Infinite, a really good month for them as well.

 

[blame space]

maaaan i just bought rayman on that psn sale.

 

[Human_me]

Rayman Legends?

Wow did not expect that.

 

[Andrew Ryan]

its there alright, just took this screenshot

IDARB is the game of month two months in a row?

 

[Mrbob]

How is that double when IDARB is already the game available this month.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

maaaan i just bought rayman on that psn sale.

Can't you ask Sony CS for a refund?

 

[Jonesy7707]

IDARB is the game of month two months in a row?

It's been like that for a while now. One new game while another carries across for a couple of months. In April they are saying it will be 2 new games completely.

If it's all legit of course!!

 

[Bessy67]

How is that double when IDARB is already the game available this month.

The games listed are for March. Double games is in April.

 

[Dunlop]

Just purchased Rayman on the PSN sale lol, fantastic game though so double dipping is cool

 

[Digital Snake]

How is that double when IDARB is already the game available this month.

They mean for April.

 

[Mrbob]

The games listed are for March. Double games is in April.

Hopefully that means they are two new games then. MS has been technically offering two games a month on XB1, but one game is rolled over from the previous month.

 

[Family Fry]

The final level is one of the greatest moments in gaming. Ever.

Damn straight!
Pretty much because it's the final level and the god awful game is finished after it.

 

[Kinyou]

I didn't even know Rayman was out for the new consoles.

 

[EvB]

Madness. Utter madness.

It's a damn good game. The comedy, the cut scenes, the voice acting, the simplistic yet deep gameplay, the epic, almost medium elevating score. It's just a damn good game and it disappoints me to see people who didn't understand crap all over it.

I used to respect you.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Damn, I wanted to buy Rayman on WiiU... but hey, "free"...
Will finally play Bio Infinite.

Btw guys, April will have 4 X360 games and 4 XB1 games (Rayman will carry over + 3 new games),

 

[Doffen]

Been waiting for a sale on Rayman. This news pleases me.

 

[Steverulez]

I think it is more likely that we only get 2 new games, they said double, I think they meant new. I wouldnt go over expecting, you'll only be disappointed.

 

[Lettuce]

Still holding out for MS to have the XB1 exclusive launch games as GWG ( DR3 & Ryse)

 

[TheKeyPit]

Been waiting for a sale on Rayman. This news pleases me.

Me too. I enjoyed Rayman Origins on my xbox360 and nearly bought Rayman Legends when it was on sale a while ago. This is good news.

 

[The Faceless Master]

its there alright, just took this screenshot

March is decent!

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

I think it is more likely that we only get 2 new games, they said double, I think they meant new. I wouldnt go over expecting, you'll only be disappointed.

They did say they were doubling the GwG offerings in April, currently they have been offering 4 games per month (2 on 360, 2 on XB1). Doubling would mean 8 games.

 

[kingwingin]

Hopefully they start releasing more retail games. I would love dead rising 3.

Would make buying another year of live so much easier

 

[see5harp]

Rayman is alright but damn I already played to completion last gen and I'm fairly sure I've played all new content on a rental. Thanks?

 

[Sydle]

Damn, I already have all the games for March. I really enjoyed Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite, don't understand the hate for the latter.

Everyone get Rayman Legends. It's fantastic!

 

[nateeasy]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

 

[Senteevs]

They did say they were doubling the GwG offerings in April, currently they have been offering 4 games per month (2 on 360, 2 on XB1). Doubling would mean 8 games.

If you believe what you just wrote, I'm sorry to say that you are delusional, sir,

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

First month that I've owned every title on offer. Some good ones though this month for sure

 

[TheAggroCraig]

Are you shitting me, I JUST bought Rayman in the PSN sale... oh well it was well worth $10 anyway.

Bioshock Infinite is great though, I borrowed my friend's copy for a bit when it came out but never finished it.

 

[Doffen]

So in April we will have 4 free games?

 

[Chris1]

If you believe what you just wrote, I'm sorry to say that you are delusional, sir,

He's not wrong though.. We get 2 games a month on xbox one.

If the 'double the free games in april' holds true for xbox one, we should be looking at either

A) Rayman & 3 new games free for XB1
B) Rayman & #IDARB & 2 new games free for XB1

Having #IDARB take up three months would be a bit extreme and shady on MS behalf though.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

I feel for MS and Sony trying to pick these free games. It's hard to not piss someone off:

Indies/Downloadables - "I'm sick of these indie games! How about some retail games, MS/Sony you cheap bastards?"

Popular Retail Games - "Dammit I already own all these games. This is bullshit. This month sucks" "This game came out over a year ago!"

Unpopular Retail Games - "Why don't they give us something good?" "LOL, They're having to give that game away!"

You can't please everybody.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

If you believe what you just wrote, I'm sorry to say that you are delusional, sir,

In the image posted, it said specifically "To celebrate, we're giving customers more of what they love by doubling free games in Games with Gold for April! You read that correctly... in April, Games with Gold will offer TWICE the free games!"

They have been offering four games per month and they said they're doubling that in April, 2x4 = 8. Rayman Legends will likely carry over into April. Will it continue past April, I am 99.9% sure it will not. They said they are celebrating 100m+ GwG downloads.

 

[Montresor]

So in April we will have 4 free games?

If God is good and merciful, it's actually 6 free games (two new XB1, four new 360).
