THIS IS GENIUS.

Releasing this 2008 Defense game for free is an effort to make the impending 2007 Retail Halo 3 release the highlight of this Gold Free Games program...before this program shuts down later this year.

I know people were expecting full retail game once per month, but c'mon guys, be happy. Misleading or not, it's nice they didn't accidently forget to announce something.

Behind the scenes it has been heard that the Suits/Execs aren't happy about this program one iota and are waiting to end it A.S.A.P....which is scheduled to happen before Xbox One launches. This isn't the Free Games business after all. The idea is to keep subscribing your Gold and if lucky, buy an Xbox One and keep on keepin' on.

Also, I own this Defense Grid game on PC and played it for many hours, it's one of the better tower defense games if you like that genre. Sure, Tower Defense games aren't everyone's cup of tea, except for the Cup of T Defense game which was amazing, but overall it could be worse.

They did afterall announce they could and may release Kinect only games as free games...that would have sucked.

You guys should go easier on Xbox, I got .25 cents for my birthday for ONE thing, and they didn't have to be so generous. Now, I am getting this 2008 CIassic DL Grid game from XBLA for free I can play again after five years...this is heaven and how I pictured gaming many years ago. It's funny, I was just talking about this game a while back, and now I am getting it for free on XBLA.

I have supported the X-Treme Xbox brand since the Xbox Uno, I also have the Xbox Threehundred and Sixty, and I'm getting the Xbone. Times are good for X-fanatics, and I detect too much entitlement around here.

EDIT: I was going to leave this thread, but I see people getting hot and bothered in their posts so I will leave an insider tip to shut you guys up and make you smile for once in your greedy little lives. While Defense Grid seems like a week offering, along with Fable 3, you have to keep in mind a real winner has been planned before we get to play HALO 3 for the first time.

I got a hot tip that we are also getting an HD remake of this soon, FOR FREE, so quit your belly aching:

That defense game released in 2010.

No, it did not.:lol:

Have you gone full on lemcrazy? No, seriously why didn't you at least look this up? :P

First of all, I mentioned I played it on PC above, yes? Got that out of the way. :idea:

Look at this date in the LINK.

"Genre: Strategy, Indie

Release Date: Dec 8, 2008"

I have no idea if you ever played this indie game, but I know this first hand because guess why...I may have mentioned I played it. :o

Secondly, if you are ignoring Defense Grid: The Awakening's PC roots, and you are only looking at the XBLA port release date, the XBLA port of Defense Grid came out Sept. 2009.

So...you'd still be wrong with that wrong 2010 correction. :?

It's all good bro.

It's all good bro.

It released on xbox live arcade in 2010.

In my first post I was clearly talking about the original release on PC which you didn't bother to look up.

That is how old the game is, 2008. Defense grid came out in 2008, despite it being a port.

I decided to look this up for you, but ultimately it doesn't change the fact Defense Grid released for the first time in 2008 on the PC platform. It later was ported to XBLA.

While I'm here though:

IGN: XBLA Release Date: September 2, 2009

Metacritic XBLA Release date: Sept. 2, 2009

I'm going to keep this simple:

I actually don't care that when Defense Grid was ported to XBLA or other platforms, my MAIN original point was the first time Defense Grid was released was in 2008. Defense Grid's original release date of 2008 on PC which was correct. It was a good game, and it's great news that it was ported for more gamers to enjoy it. I'm sorry my point wasn't completely clear before.

It is sort of like when Mass Effect 1 was announced coming to PS3, where see posts like this:

"LOL, Cows bragging about playing 2007's Mass Effect 1 LOLOL."

Then another user quotes: "Mass Effect 1 released in 2012 for PSN, not 2007."

You see what's going on? I'm talking about the game's first release, you are narrowing it down to XBLA's first release, which is a different point.

I said in the first post I played DG on PC.

LOLOL at this convo.

well im sure the games will get better as they get closer to November when the best console of all time will launch in the XBO. Already downloaded Fable 3, will download this, and then Halo 3 9.5 greatness. I own those games, its not like a rental like you get on the PSN plus network. Once you stop paying the 50 dollars, the game disappears right? I thought Sony fans were the ones that complained about rentals?

It's just the first game, but seems that the ps3 fanboys were expecting more than the xbox fanboys where. No clue why. :P While that ain't my type of game, it's a game nonetheless. Should I laugh and point fingers that the first game offered for PS Plus was LittleBigPlanet? But these games on this promotion, you can keep and play without gold. I only have a few games from Plus that I was able to play without having Plus.

THIS IS GENIUS.

Releasing this 2008 Defense game for free is an effort to make the impending 2007 Retail Halo 3 release the highlight of this Gold Free Games program...before this program shuts down later this year.

I know people were expecting full retail game once per month, but c'mon guys, be happy. Misleading or not, it's nice they didn't accidently forget to announce something.

Behind the scenes it has been heard that the Suits/Execs aren't happy about this program one iota and are waiting to end it A.S.A.P....which is scheduled to happen before Xbox One launches. This isn't the Free Games business after all. The idea is to keep subscribing your Gold and if lucky, buy an Xbox One and keep on keepin' on.

Also, I own this Defense Grid game on PC and played it for many hours, it's one of the better tower defense games if you like that genre. Sure, Tower Defense games aren't everyone's cup of tea, except for the Cup of T Defense game which was amazing, but overall it could be worse.

They did afterall announce they could and may release Kinect only games as free games...that would have sucked.

You guys should go easier on Xbox, I got .25 cents for my birthday for ONE thing, and they didn't have to be so generous. Now, I am getting this 2008 CIassic DL Grid game from XBLA for free I can play again after five years...this is heaven and how I pictured gaming many years ago. It's funny, I was just talking about this game a while back, and now I am getting it for free on XBLA.

I have supported the X-Treme Xbox brand since the Xbox Uno, I also have the Xbox Threehundred and Sixty, and I'm getting the Xbone. Times are good for X-fanatics, and I detect too much entitlement around here.

EDIT: I was going to leave this thread, but I see people getting hot and bothered in their posts so I will leave an insider tip to shut you guys up and make you smile for once in your greedy little lives. While Defense Grid seems like a week offering, along with Fable 3, you have to keep in mind a real winner has been planned before we get to play HALO 3 for the first time.

I got a hot tip that we are also getting an HD remake of this soon, FOR FREE, so quit your belly aching:

THIS IS GENIUS.

Releasing this 2008 Defense game for free is an effort to make the impending 2007 Retail Halo 3 release the highlight of this Gold Free Games program...before this program shuts down later this year.

I know people were expecting full retail game once per month, but c'mon guys, be happy. Misleading or not, it's nice they didn't accidently forget to announce something.

Behind the scenes it has been heard that the Suits/Execs aren't happy about this program one iota and are waiting to end it A.S.A.P....which is scheduled to happen before Xbox One launches. This isn't the Free Games business after all. The idea is to keep subscribing your Gold and if lucky, buy an Xbox One and keep on keepin' on.

Also, I own this Defense Grid game on PC and played it for many hours, it's one of the better tower defense games if you like that genre. Sure, Tower Defense games aren't everyone's cup of tea, except for the Cup of T Defense game which was amazing, but overall it could be worse.

They did afterall announce they could and may release Kinect only games as free games...that would have sucked.

You guys should go easier on Xbox, I got .25 cents for my birthday for ONE thing, and they didn't have to be so generous. Now, I am getting this 2008 CIassic DL Grid game from XBLA for free I can play again after five years...this is heaven and how I pictured gaming many years ago. It's funny, I was just talking about this game a while back, and now I am getting it for free on XBLA.

I'm not sure what the picture was supposed to be. I can't tell if you are offended or happy, but after beating HALO 2 for the first time in 2004, I'm excited for the sequel 2007 Halo 3 sequel that we are getting for free!!!!*

Seriously, this free shit has to stop. It is the simplest way of catering to the dumbest of consumers. Buy 2 pieces of shit, get one piece of shit for free! We are that dumb? Someone here really don`t understand that we actually pay for this? The only difference being we don`t get to choose what we pay for.

Bu...bu....they get to keep it thou :( I doubt any of the games being offered on either service are making huge amounts of money anymore, but when they get lazily tossed games from 5 years ago, they need to take something out of that :( Xbox Live Gold is $60 a year. Halo 3 can be found for $5, and fable 3 isn't worth the disk it's printed on. Dat value.

This game has been less than £2 in most steam sales for the past few years.

so your reward for paying $50 to play online is a game that is often found for $5 or less ? On another note defense grid is a decent game but you would expect a couple more games from a multibillion company that forces you to pay to play online

Looks like this gen is over before it even began.

Yeah, Sony's giveaways are certainly better and more numerous but from a business perspective it's way, way too much. No wonder that company is bleeding money. Seriously, why would anyone even bother buying any games for the system if ya can play everything for free? I totally get why you guys love it since it isn't your cash that's being thrown away but as stockholder I'd be calling for someone's head. This is business, after all. When I look at the list of stuff Sony is giving away it seems like someone trying way too hard to be liked. Meanwhile they're broke cuz of crazy shit like this.

They also gave away the DLC a year and a half ago during that winter ticket thing.
