I hope for this too. I missed out on Halo3 with my US account in Japan. I was exited about that one too...

Amazed we still haven't heard.
It's probably nothing special.

Really enjoyed Forza Horizon (and Halo 4 SP), people should give Horizon a shot.

I'm changing my guess.
Call of Duty 2, the GOAT launch game is back B^)
Condemned would be pretty cool, never finished it and loved it , needs more love

I haven't heard anything about that, so I think it's safe to assume that it'll work like how it does now.
In my case, I live in the US and have a US account, but my 360 is Japanese. So while IP locks don't affect me, region locks definitely do. All the free games for the US thus far have thankfully been region free, and I hope that continues.
I would also guess either Gears 1 or Viva Pinata.
However, it could be from ANY publisher. It could be a retail game from as early as 2010 (Fable 3), to an XBLA game as early as last year (Magic the Gathering).
There HAD to be a push in Gold sales after Halo 3. I'm sure SOMEONE at Microsoft is saying "did you SEE the jump in activity on XBLive???"
It would make sense to release another game with multiplayer. Games with online play show off the benefits of Gold Membership. There's no way they can't see that after releasing Halo 3 and Rainbow 6: Vegas.
I could see them releasing:
Blur
Borderlands
Call of Duty 4
Forza 4
Gears of War 2
one of the Lego games
Soul Calibur 5
Split Second
Street Fighter x Tekken

Its going to be hard to follow up Halo 3. Unless its a game released in the last couple years, its going to be disappointing no matter what they post up.

On one hand it is, but on the other isn't America (east coast) just getting up to go to work? So not entirely surprising I guess.
Where do you live?
If he lives in New Zealand it is already November 1st. Hurry up and let me know people. I just want a game that I don't already own.

Live in The Netherlands, so the same timezone as you do. Forgot to type the "0" after the 1 to make it a 10.... My bad, I edited it.
Even so as Lima said, folks in New Zealand already live in November. How is it that we still don't know what game it is.
Edit: Just checked the Xbox site in New Zealand. And that still mentions Halo 3 as the free the game.

As far as I'm aware, all updates worldwide happen at the same time, regardless of geographical location. It's one of the US time zones, but I forget which (East Coast, I think).
This is why DotW, etc don't kick in till 10am on Tuesdays in the UK.

I heard the first game of November is a Keflings game, either A Kingdom for Keflings or A World of Keflings. And the second one should be Iron Brigade.

Its too new of a game to be given away free, but we can always hope.
Most of the GoG have been games that have a sequel in the mix for Xbox one.
Hopefully banjo shows up

You can keep them even after your subscription expires. But it's only one free game at a time.

Yep.
Yes, the game is yours until the end of times. (or MS servers)

Would like to play Banjo, heard good things about it. Knowing my fucking luck the next game will be Vampire Rain

That would be super disappointing.

Yeah, I read your post and added A World of Keflings to the rumour list. The original rumour stated the first game would be A Kingdom for Keflings. Now I'm not sure which one it is anymore.
My source is someone saying there is an ad in the Finnish Pelaaja magazine in which the games (AKFK and Iron Brigade) are mentioned. I don't have the mag so I can't confirm.

I hope that's false
Thanks to all of you, that's pretty interesting. Definitely an advantage over PSN+
Isn't it usually one arcade game and one GoD?

Please don't be a Keflings game...

I don't disagree, but the way the program was presented the small print said £30 worth of games free a month or something, so chances are we'll get some sort of XBLA game and a retail title.
Would love Gears 3 to be part of it.
