This month, Microsoft are offering 2x the usual free games.

Xbox 360

Gears of War Judgement (29.95)
http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-AU/Product/Gears-of-War-Judgm…

April 16 - May 1
Assassins Creed IV Black Flag(29.95)
http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-AU/Product/Assassins-Creed-IV…
Army of TWO: Devil's Cartel (29.95)
http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-AU/Product/Army-of-TWO-The-De…

Xbox One

Pool Nation FX (14.95)
https://store.xbox.com/en-AU/Xbox-One/Games/Pool-Nation-FX/8…
Child of Light (19.95)
https://store.xbox.com/en-AU/Xbox-One/Games/Child-of-Light/7…

FYI for the newbies;

All games need to be 'purchased' during the $0 period.

Xbox One games require Gold account to be maintained to access, 360 games are kept regardless of Gold account.

Xbox One games can be 'purchased via website or 360 dashboard prior to you actually owning the console, as long as you maintain gold account, games will be waiting for you when you get a XB1 console.

1 month codes will work for free games, 48 hour codes will not.

    Great Post!!

    Just checking I'm new to Xbox Gold Live. These games needs continuous gold subscriptions to play? like Gears of War Judgement? or I can still play the game when My Subscription ends?

    Thanks

      hi Cyclops, I've added an FYI at the bottom of post with info you're looking for

    Wow the selection for Xbox 1 is… horrible.

      Child of LIght is a pretty sweet game even if it has tba elements

        COL is 5 - 10 hours of game play. And a pool game that is a re-branded steam game that has been on sale for 99 cents.

        Xbox was going in a good direction with rayman legends. This double month is a pretty big let down if you read reddit and forums.

          Child of light is a stunning game. Length does not determine quality.

        • Denaz on 27/03/2015 - 18:21

          Can't really complain when its free :/

        • Mijak on 27/03/2015 - 19:38

          @Denaz: I think most people are complaining because this April double deal was being advertised as a big one and the xbox one owners are let down by the pool game. Child of light does look like a good game.

        • spiev on 30/03/2015 - 12:41

          From a business perspective, it makes sense that Microsoft would save better GwG for later in the year. A bigger chunk of their XB1 sales are going to come in Q4 - I reckon that's when we'll see Ryse, Dead Rising, and Titanfall on GwG across a three or four month period.

    • Mik on 27/03/2015 - 16:02

      Can't comment on quality, I haven't got a XB1 yet. But this month's Rayman Legends was pretty sweet.

    • jemgaarenstroom on 27/03/2015 - 23:28

      While I agree, the thing is, there is no way Microsoft is going to give away a free 'proper' AAA title to live members. Those games cost upwards of $50 in most cases. e're going to be limited to arcade/indie titles for at least another 6 months I'd say, then games like Ryze and Titanfall might start to trickle in. For the 360 though, those games are a few years old now, and able to be picked up for cheap, hence why they've been added.

    Pool Nation FX looks actually nice for a pool game !

      It's very good, best pool game I've played. Great physics. The visuals can be a bit overwhelming for some people though

  • Merlict on 27/03/2015 - 15:52

    Can I snag the 360 ones and keep them even from a trial / 30 day pass? Seems like a solid value

    • Benjamin7711 on 27/03/2015 - 15:59

      Yes :)

        Little tip, if you wait til like at least 2 days into the month, get this months free ones, and then 1 or two days into the next month you can get those too. so 8 games on a 30 day trial!

          Thanks for the TIP!!!

          wouldn't the 30 day pass need to start on the 16th to get all 8 games (assuming all 4 for the month are available on the one day)? Otherwise the 30 days would run out before the last 2 weeks of the following month & the max would be 6?

        • Benjamin7711 on 30/03/2015 - 10:12

          @dexter_jambles:
          True, although I don't believe they're all available on the same day and that they get replaced by the new ones.

          In this case you would end up with 6 then, plus the 4 xbox One games (even just "purchase" them at $0 and they'll add to your library for future if you do get an xbox one)

    • Tasmaniac on 27/03/2015 - 17:34

      Yep I just bought a $2 48 hour pass for this very reason.

      • TheOneWhoKnocks on 27/03/2015 - 17:41

        1 month codes will work for free games, 48 hour codes will not.

        • Tasmaniac on 27/03/2015 - 18:08

          Oh ok 1 month codes are often only around $7 anyway, which for 8 games is still a bargain.

    Gears Judgement - they should be paying us to take it from them!

    It's a bargain considering it's free :( (feel bad for those of us who paid for it).

  • Wimma on 30/03/2015 - 10:18

    What's the going rate for a 12 month live sub?
    Mine just about up, but think it's good value just for collecting a few games.

    • Benji on 01/04/2015 - 16:05

      $40 American. So about $50 Australian I guess.
