Microsoft Announces their Free Games with Gold for March!

Hi, I'm Rayman and I'm free all month long!

I love free stuff.

I think I've said that before, haven't I?

Anywho, if you have an Xbox Gold Membership, you are in for a treat in March! This is probably the strongest collection of games that Microsoft has released with it's Games with Gold program. If you have an Xbox One, Rayman Legends (Ages 8+) will be free for you all month long. On the 360, Tomb Raider (Not for kids) will be available from March 1-15 and BioShock Infinite (Not for kids) from March 16-31.

That is solid! I hope that Microsoft continues in this direction with quality games hitting their Games with Gold giveaway. I know these games are old, but man, they are solid games. I didn't get a chance to try out Rayman, but you know, now is the time to try it out...it's FREE! We may even get a quick review of the game, since it is readily available for you guys.

I would only recommend Tomb Raider and BioShock to our After Hours crowd, (parents/older teenagers) definitely not for kids.

For those counting hard drive space or planning ahead to make room:

• Rayman Legends (ordinary Xbox Live price $39.99) is a 3.4 GB download.
• Tomb Raider ($19.99) is a 6.57 GB download.
• BioShock Infinite ($29.99) is a 6.49 GB download.

Enjoy and thank you Microsoft!

Free Games with Xbox Gold Membership in January!

D4 available all January for Free

Free is always a wonderful thing, and with Xbox's Games with Gold program you get to download free games to your Xbox systems every month! In January they are supplying us with some very solid options that will be sure to save some cash

Two of these games I would only recommend to older teenagers or parents, no kiddies should play D4 or The Witcher:

All month long you can snag D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die for no charge. Reviews have been very solid with this game, so I'm looking forward to trying it out. Looks to be a crime/mystery that really utilizes the kinect motion controls and voice commands. The art style is visually interesting, looks to be taking a page out of the Tall-Tale series.

From January 1-15 you can get MX vs. ATV: Alive - which is an ATV/Off roading type of racing game. Micah would be interested in trying this out and I'll probably play it with him, but nothing to get me to jump out of my seat. Still, seems to be better than other games they have offered for free lately.

Witcher 2...for FRRREEEEEEEEE!!!

Then, from January 16-31, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings will be available for free. To me, this has most of my interest, just because I've heard some good things about this series...and the third title will be coming early next year. I haven't played the first one, but for free I think I'll start here with this series. Again, this is rated M, so this would only be appropriate for the adults to try out.

Games with Gold has released some duds recently, but these three games may be on my Hard drive by the end of January. Good job Microsoft!
