Meh, I'll pass.
And my Gold expires on the 22nd and I'm not renewing. I guess I won't getting anymore games. Oh well, I should have a PS4 by then.

This is so sad. Both XBLA games?
I already own Iron Brigade, and though I think it's a great co-op game, I am disappointed that there isn't a full release title in the mix.

Ugh. Haven't played either of those, but ugh.

Awful selection. Not sure I am going to keep Gold if this is the result.
Ahhh, oh well. Iron Brigade is a fun time, at least.

I'm sure they're fine, but it's kind of bullshit that they're both arcade-length games.
After they announced GWG would include arcade games I expected Castle Crashers next, honestly.
They're putting zero effort on the whole thing, it's not surprising.

This is a bummer. Was hoping they'd stick with one XBLA game and one Games on Demand game each month. At least I don't own these two games already, though.

I don't understand the issue. Does something being on disc really matter more than the quality of the game being given? Do people want just franchise factory output that makes their offerings seem more valuable due to cost or price? These are both nice titles and better than many retail ones. People who demand retail above digital (despite the fact that these are all digital) seems like being a size queen for gamers or something.

Junior, please.
Literally couldn't care less. Sigh.
The only reason I'm re-subbed right now is because I like to have Netflix and NHL available on my 360.

same guy who approved gift of 20MSP on birthdays of Xbox rewards program members.
The point is when you're offering up a rewards program for your paying members, it's a better good faith gesture to offer games that aren't 1: Years old, and 2: haven't already been discounted to high heaven, especially now that the 360 is at the end of it's life and those newer games pretty much have the same worth, in microsoft's eyes, as the older ones.

Everything is old and discounted aside from things that are releasing inside of the last six months.

Man
it is November. It is launch month. This is when you should be sticking your best foot forward to show that Live Gold as a service is worth the price. This is when you drop some bombs. Get people buying into your ecosystem and the console purchases will follow. Halo 3 was the set-up to load the bases
.now you need to knock it out of the park.
and we get this?
I feel like MS makes this mistake a lot. I bet their thinking is that they are probably going to have an influx of new Gold members anyway when XB1 is released so why try harder?
They look ahead to the subscribers on their way in rather than focusing on the subscribers that might be on their way out in the coming months. Plenty of time for also-ran arcade titles in the latter half of December through early March when nobody is paying attention to this stuff. Then you get a big hitter ready for when Titanfall drops. You have to capitalize on these moments. Create some synergy. Instead we are left with a whole lot of meh.

Ok, I understand november is a busy month and you don't need to be generous because people's purchase intention will be elsewhere but at least .... I don't know, I don't want to get angry.
At least are Region/IP free

Iron brigade is good, people.
But beware, if you're planning on coop, the netcode isn't the best.

The games they give away, by and large, are terribly embarrassing. How can they do it with a straight face when Sony is giving away recent titles?
