Support NeoGAF

[Original Famous Ray]

Not a bad month there for me. I played through Child of Eden with the Kinect and kinda dug it but I never tried it with a controller. It looks and sounds great and hopefully controls well (like Rez perhaps?) with a controller.

I don't know about the Xbox version but Marlow Briggs on PC is a fun, little God of War-ish game.

 

[SenkiDala]

Yeah basically it becomes Rez.

Well I heard that on Xbox One you can only play it with the controller since Kinect isn't supported.

EDIT: OK I misread, my bad!

 

[nush]

Marlow Briggs is it any good?

 

[Nikana]

Marlow Briggs is it any good?

My buddy is telling me I NEEEED to play it. I have no idea what it even is.

 

[bigace33]

Marlow Briggs is a very good god of war clone set in modern times. Legit the best dollar I have ever spent on a game

 

[Correctomundo]

Damn, that's a solid month. Looking forward to Vermintide and Marlow Briggs in particular.

Would make a great game box cover quote.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Vermintide is now live, and it's listed as XB1X Enhanced. Figured the patch was coming later so that's a nice surprise.

Child of Eden too.

EDIT:
I have having to add a credit card each time I want to download a 360 game!

 

[nush]

It's Child of Eden Time!

 

[Sosokrates]

It's Child of Eden Time!

Not for me its showing at £11.99 on my xbox!

Do you actually have Gold?

Or are you just using a 14-day trial?

 

[Sosokrates]

14 day trial, but I got the warhammer game for free?

 

[valentine71]

14 day trial, but I got the warhammer game for free?

Warhammer has a one or two hour trial i believe. That might be what you got. Did you start the game? If not, it might give you a heads up saying ''xx amount of trial left'':

Just tried it now, there was no trial warning.

Maybe its because I extended my paid for xbox live with the 14 day trial? I have 2 days left?
I will contact ms.

 

[Syriel]

No need to contact MS. Everything is working normally.

Trials don't get you free 360 games because those licenses are permanent. You get the XBO games on a trial because those are only yours as long as you have an active sub (like PS+).

If you want free 360 games you need a minimum of one month of Gold, which is the shortest subscription time period.

Arhh ok , thanks very much, saves me contacting ms 😀

Still, very much worth tracking down a one month Gold code for Child of Eden.

Game is totally worth it, and a one month code is less than you'd otherwise pay for the game.

Yes i will get a 12 month soon.

If there is one thing I hate about GWG it's that some games only have a 15 day download time. I've missed about a dozen free games over the years because of it(one of them being de-listed), luckily most of them I already had on PC, but still kind of annoying...

 

[nush]

Download them through xbox.com. Set a reminder for the 1st and 15th.

 

[Leonidas]

Just set a recurring reminder, hopefully I don't miss anything else.

 

[Calibos]

Games with Gold January:

Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing 2

ZombI

Tomb Raider Underworld

Army of Two

Great month!

 

[Jakabok]

Didn't EA shut down the servers for Army of Two a while ago? Should re-title to Army of One if so.

 

[Rodolfo Brito]

Isn't TR: Underworld already been given before?

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Hmm, strange that we're getting Van Helsing 3 and skipping 2.

 

[Flux]

Isn't TR: Underworld already been given before?

No, but we've received the Reboot Xbox one and 360 Tomb raider, and the two top-down shooters Guardian of Light and Osiris tomb.

Tomb Raider as a franchise is basically GWG (and P's plus) fodder at this point.

 

[JP]

Some good stuff but it's a bit of a mixed month for me, I already have Zombi on the PS4 and Tomb Raider on the Xbox. It's good to see Van Helsing III making an appearance, I didn't even know there was a third game, it doesn't seem like long since the second game was released.

Does anybody know the Japanese hames yet?

 

[Matty8787]

I am all down for that Zombi, yet to play it!

 

[EBE]

Pretty good month
Excited for all four games

Army of Two in particular. Only ever played (shudders) The Devil's Cartel

 

[TLZ]

Meh month.

 

[The_Mike]

Decent month, I don’t have any of the games for once so I’m happy. Usually I have had 2-3 of the games every last month, even on games I bought on sale and never played lol.

 

[Sosokrates]

The back to the future game is pretty fun, the controls are not that good, but its cool to continue the back to the future story.

 

[Ichabod]

I've been wanting to play Zombi for awhile now. Pleasant surprise.

Biggest regret on GWG is missing the Handsome Collection when it was free over a year ago

Wasn't a part of GwG. It did have a free weekend, though.

 

[Ichabod]

Oh sweet. I remember seeing it pop up on my dashboard and thought I'd missed it. Thanks man, I can lay that regret to rest lol.

 

[Sosokrates]

Great month, always wanted to play zombi and army of 2.

 

[Barakov]

I've already played through Army of Two, TR: Underworld and ZombI. I'll download the 360 games just to have them digitally. Will check out Van Hellsing since I remember enjoying the first one.

 

[Dominic Snyder]

Yeesh, this is definitely not a great month.

 

[Heath V]

Not excited about this month at all.

 

[Alx]

I just happened to play through Army of Two this Christmas on PS3. It was ok, ugly character design but it was fun at least in co-op.
I remember trying the Zombi demo on the WiiU and being very bad at it, but I'll give it another chance. Was anything of value lost in the transition from WiiU to Xbox ?

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Gahbige month

 

[Sosokrates]

So for me in the uk army of two is still show for £14.99?

Isnt it meant to be on gwg on the 16th?

[CRAIG667]

And in Spain.

Weird... I noticed this too, tried to DL several times today but prompts me to make payment...
I wonder what the issue is, I've never known this to happen before.

To anyone who already owns this game, is it working as it should (via BC)

 

[Nikana]

Is split second not showing in just UK or in USA or well?

 

[Bogroll]

I know its Game Pass but Halo Wars 2 won't download, keeps prompting me to buy like Split Second does.

 

[splattered]

Can't download Split/Second in USA for free either...
