Xbox Live Gold users only, but it's totally free.

Also Microsoft announced starting next month Gold subs will get 2 free games per month that won't expire if your live sub expires. First two are Assassin's Creed 2 and Halo 3.

Time to add this to my download queue even though I already own the game.

Isn't that, like, a contradiction?

Seems like an answer to PSN Plus

Now there are free games all over the place, bundles "by the shovel", we're back to the ultimate problem : How do people get more time ?

Is this one of those where you still need the disc?

Yeah, now paying the fee for Gold has finally a sense.
And games doesn't expire,so it's better then Plus. ? If you download it from the marketplace you don't need the disc, of course.

Nope, it pretty much installs the game to your console so you won't need to own a physical copy of the game.

5.61 Gb Totally free (after gold, of course) Downloading it now. Maybe I will enjoy some part of it. Looking forward to the 2 free games per month. Halo 3 doesn't do it for me, Ac2 maybe. Still free stuff (kinda) from ms.

Hmm, dammit. Either I should find both time, place, and a monitor to set up my Xbox again (neither of which I likely will find in the coming few weeks, with renovations of the living room being under way, and vacation after that... so perhaps in a couple months) as well as get a gold account, or I hope to find the Windows version for cheap.

Pretty crap game tbh, the worst in the series by a long stretch, but free is always good :)

But why would you waste your time on a shit game just because it's free? How's that good.

Well, you could try it out for free, then realise how crap it is and feel all warm and gooey inside that you didnt spend money on a crap game :)

They're finally following the great model set by PS+. Paying for a Live account finally makes sense.

I bought it on PC and I enjoyed it.
It's not a masterpice, but a title to play with brain off.
