They're free. Except they're not, although I believe they are, but everything points to them being... Yay! "Starting tomorrow (August 1st) the award winning Xbox 360 exclusive Crackdown (Normally 800 points) will be free for Xbox LIVE Gold members through August 15th . Then on August 16th, Xbox Live Gold Members can grab BOTH Dear Rising 2 (Normally US $14.99) and Dead Rising 2: Case Zero (Normally 400 points) for free."More Larry in the link. Might download DR2. Give it another go. Wasn't too pleased with it when I bought it.

I guess now's my chance to play Crackdown finally. Always curious to see what the hype was about.

Dead Rising 2 is cool too.

PS+ is not a rip off, it's the best deal in gaming right now. And you get to keep the games, I think.

That's how PSN+ works. I don't think that's how Games with Gold works.

Agreed. I've had it for two years now and it's well worth the investment.

Sleeping Dogs, Demon's Souls, X-Com: Enemy Unknown, Spec Ops: The Line, etc. out of several dozen other free games were well worth it.

GWG gives you the games regardless of if you stop paying for a subscription (but the Xbox is pretty meh without Gold to begin with), but the games are also years old and sell for about 2.50 at GameStop, so the selection isn't as lucrative. It's still a nice program, though.

I don't have Crackdown, so far it's basically Crackdown and Fable 3 that are of any use to me.

I literally just got DR2: Off the Record last month and am a bit into it. So that one is of no use to me, but otherwise that would be a pretty good freebie as well.

I won't knock MS for giving out free games, but it's a huge disparity between the quality of games MS is giving out vs. the quality of PSN+. I still have to finish XCOM, Sleeping Dogs and a bunch of others from PSN+. Many of the games PSN+ has provided are relatively recent and still have retail value, and in some cases they give you arcade games day one on their release date. Crackdown is ANCIENT, and it's like $1.99 street value for a retail copy, so the fact they are "giving" it to me doesn't really mean anything.

Still not a single game i dont already own.

 

This is getting pretty depressing, either its just terrible luck or i own waaaaay too many games. Although it will be nice to finally play DR2 with friends.

Anyone who hasn't played Crackdown, play it. Fantastic game. Forget about Crackdown 2 however, terrible game.

Puckhog04

 

meh crackdown 2 isnt terrible, its just basically the exact same game. Which had me pretty livid after dropping 60 bones on it.

this is the same thing that makes ps+ worthless to me.

i have either already played them or am totally uninterested in playing them and being "free" can't make up for me not wanting to play them.

They're free. freedomfreak

No, they arent. Since you have to buy XBLG to get them "free" they arent actually free.

Thats as stupid as when playstation fanboys scream about getting free games except they forget to mention you have to buy PS+ to get the "free games"

But thats awful nice of microsoft to give crackdown a shitty old game that can be bought in retail form at gamestop for 2.99. Meanwhile PS+ subscribers get 5 games this month http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2013/07/17/playstation-plus-in-august-need-for-speed-most-wanted-mafia-ii-more/

Ps plus rent those games...Xbox live gold keep those games forever... yeah it seems that in this instance xbox live gold is the better value since you get to keep the games instead of just renting them.

Youd have an argument if they were the same games and the program was permanent.

Crackdown was one of my favorite games this gen, so I'm glad I'll get to replay it again. 

Never bought DR2, so I'm good with that too.

In that sense no downloadable game can be free since it requires you to pay for internet, hell even disc based games require you to pay for electricity.

 

But lets get real here if you were an xbox live member before, and now you are getting games you didnt have before at no additional cost (like most people)... its free to you.
