I'll take Dead Island. Never bought since it didn't really tickle my fancy, but it's definitely a game I could see myself tossing 5-10 hours into if it's free.

I'm really hoping for Saints Row 3 though. I've been meaning to get that game for a while now and never got around to buying it.

 

[VaultBoy101]

I'm not seeing this confirmed anywhere yet, including news.xbox.com.

 

[MrDaravon]

It's a sequel.

Rad. If the two releases are true I'll grab that, I heard the Toy Soldier games were good but never played either one of them.

 

[JaggedSac]

Dangit, I already own Dead Island. Maybe I can coop with some friends now though.

 

[Lima]

I'm not seeing this confirmed anywhere yet, including news.xbox.com.

Yeah where does this news come from? I wait for the update on Major Nelson's blog.

 

[abracadaver]

When does he finally reveal the games ?

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Cool. Haven't played this yet.

 

[Persona7]

Nice, two games I don't have.

 

[Surface of Me]

Two games I thought about buying during sales but didn't, excellent.

 

[Bedameister]

So I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see which game we will get in Germany.

 

[Syriel]

So unconfirmed. Such speculation. Many disappoint. Wow.

Such doubt. Lack of faith disappoint. Speculation, never.

Though by now, doubting Thomas should have the proof he requires as the official release is on the wire.

 

[EdgeXL]

When does he finally reveal the games ?

It's up on his page.

I already have Toy Soldiers Cold War but I am looking forward to trying out Dead Island.

 

[Daffy Duck]

They suck at announcing this stuff!

 

[NeoGAF.]

When will Xbone have this?

 

[GavinGT]

When will Xbone have this?

April, as per ntkrnl.

 

[Mistel]

When will Xbone have this?

Later this year April roughly according to that leaker thread.

[EBE]

So Dead Island and Toy Soldiers? Not bad. Never tried either. The guys behind Toy Soldiers, Signal, are they owned by Microsoft? I know they recently released Ascend New Gods. Id be interested to see what offerings they have for xbox one.

 

[RE_Player]

I got Toy Solidiers awhile ago through that website glitch. I think it was related to Doritos or something.

so did he forget that dead island isnt available in germany ?

 

[Doffen]

There needs to be more games in Games With Gold. 2 Arcade and 1 Demand would be nice.

so did he forget that dead island isnt available in germany ?

Nah, that's why they picked it.

 

[jroc74]

Dead Island...MS has been stepping their game up with the offerings. I'll take it.

Wish I could somehow go back and get Dead Rising 2.

 

[MikeE21286]

I'm actually happy with Dead Island.

That was a game I had meant to pick up and just never got around too over the years, no matter how many times it went on sale.

 

[RottenTanuki]

Dead Island was pretty terrible. I'd rather have another XBLA in stead.

 

[Toothpick]

Does Dead Island have co-op?

 

[LorDjidane]

Does Dead Island have co-op?

Yup, up to four people.

 

[Toothpick]

Nice.

 

[larvi]

I really enjoyed Dead Island, even though I already have a disc copy I'm looking forward to this as my kids can get a copy too and maybe I can talk them into playing some co-op with me.

You guys are getting Metro 2033!

Better deal. :/

 

[Syriel]

Better deal. :/

Only if you don't own a PC.

Remember, THQ handed out Metro 2033 Steam keys like candy before it died, in an attempt to drum up interest in Last Light.

I'd be shocked if anyone with a Steam account didn't have that game already.

 

[Drainer]

That was the first Toy Sodiers. I got that too.

This is the sequel.

[Dongs Macabre]

Cool, Dead Island and Toy Soldier seem like fun. Since Deep Silver own Saints Row now, I hope Saints Row the Third will be free soon.

So like with PS+....those guys get better deals at times too. ....

PS+ for Eur normally gets the better deals since the service launched.

Nice, I'll be sure to download it tomorrow when the in-console store updates. More importantly though, checking it now I discovered an EA sale that I was unaware of and got one of the ME3 dlc's that I've been missing. Thanks!

Thx. Downloading soon

 

[big_z]

if you download one of these free games then delete it can you redownload after the promo has ended?

 

[enzo_gt]

if you download one of these free games then delete it can you redownload after the promo has ended?

Yes. You own the game like you own any other piece of content on XBL.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

if you download one of these free games then delete it can you redownload after the promo has ended?

Yes, when you download it once, it's yours forever (or at least until they remove it from servers eventually, but I don't think that's happened with a single Xbox 360 game yet).

 

[Persona7]

if you download one of these free games then delete it can you redownload after the promo has ended?

Yes. It is just a regular license. Same as if you bought the game. You can redownload it any time even if you are a silver member.

 

[SegaShack]

Let's just say that Xbox Live doesn't magically update itself. There are people who have to program the schedule, create the artwork and test it all before everything goes live.

I wouldn't post information that I didn't deem reliable.

I just wanted to formally apologize for doubting you, you were of course 100% right.

 

[The Culture Vulture]

I'll download Dead Island but not expecting much. I rented Riptide and only played it for a couple of hours, really disappointed with the controls and inventory system.`

 

[thenexus6]

Thumbs up, getting better. Dead Island is one of the best good bad games of recent memory. Thoroughly enjoyed playing it, going through Riptide right now.

 

[Jakabok]

Do you think when this launches on Xbox One you'll be able to nab the free games via xbox.com even if you don't have a One yet (with a gold sub obvs). Not planning to pick up a new console for a while yet y'see.

I don't see why not, you can schedule downloads from Xbox.com, at least in Xbox 360's case.

Like RE6,Borderlands and the like,if you can play this game in co-op,preferably with 4 people,even better if they are the same group,it's an awesome game.

[AlexBasch]

Downloading Dead Island now.

Gonna double team it with the PS3 version. I don't have a mic but if there's some GAF gatherings in there I'd like to join in.
