I'd like Need For Speed: Rivals or Sniper Elite III as GWG titles someday soon.

 

[John Caboose]

I assume it's because it comes with a part of Halo Reach on the disc - though that didn't stop Halo 3 ODST coming digital in a campaign only portion.

Well that's because there were two discs for ODST, singleplayer and multiplayer. The singleplayer disc was "Halo 3 ODST" and the multiplayer disc was "Halo 3" but multiplayer only.

 

[FyreWulff]

Still blows my mind why it isn't available digital

It's due to Reach MP being included into it. If you have Anniversary and Reach digitally the 360 will only launch the Anniversary Reach MP demo instead of Reach itself due to how the 360 looks for title IDs when you select a game. The only way to play Reach is to delete Anniversary completely or put it on it's own drive and take the drive out..

The same issue would have happened if they had tried to sell the Mythic disc portion of Halo 3. it has the same title ID as the regular Halo 3 so you could only launch one.

We normally find out about today don't we?

Really hoping it's Massive Chalice that is confirmed.

There's not really a set date or time -- usually it's a few days before the turn of the month, but they've also waited til the last day of the work week to announce. Could come as late as Friday.

Massive Chalice would be an awesome get.

I remember something about the last Thursday of the month, so I'd expect to know tomorrow.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Didn't know much about Massive Chalice so I checked out a video review. Looks sweet and right up my alley, though I suspect better played with a mouse.

Hmmmmm cough up funds on Steam to play with mouse or play for free on the Xbone.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

God I hope it's not massive chalice.

Try it on GwG for free to see if its worth buying on Steam? Seems like the obvious solution

 

[hawk2025]

Lots of smoke around Massive Chalice.

This will be a great month for freebies if this turns out to be true.

what the fucking fuck.........

thanks for the info, now my mind is even more blown.

Halo 3 ODST MP was on a second disc, Anniversary was all one

 

[Xaero Gravity]

If it's Massive Chalice, I'll have a massive erection.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Not to be a dick, but Massive Chalice looks pretty boring to me.

 

[The Last Wizard]

I hope it's ryse

 

[matrixman92]

not really interested in Massive Chalice. If thats it, hoping the 360 games will be more interesting to me

 

[Xemnas89]

I hope it's ryse

Yeah that's always my hope.

 

[hawk2025]

Not to be a dick, but Massive Chalice looks pretty boring to me.

It's definitely not for everyone, and the art direction is a little weird. But I have a feeling that I'll like it.

Strategy overload this month, with this and Skulls of the Shogun.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Not to be a dick, but Massive Chalice looks pretty boring to me.

It would be pretty boring to the majority of Xbox gamers out there. But the handful that are excited for it will be the most vocal.

Would be bitterly disappointed if they back up Pool Nation and Castlestorm with Massive Chalice. Especially with PS Plus getting Ground Zeroes and Call of Juarez Gunslinger. Hopefully the 360 can save the month.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I wouldn't mind Dungeon Siege 3 as the free 360 game.

 

[Karak]

Not to be a dick, but Massive Chalice looks pretty boring to me.

Well hello. I am reviewing it now. Interesting thought you have there. What seems boring to you?

Haven't they used up Pool Nation for two months already? Has any game been used more than twice? (I hope not, I didn't really enjoy PN at all)

 

[BeforeU]

Not expecting anything good for Xbox One. I am always more interested in Xbox 360 games. Give me those AAA games.

 

[jesu]

I'd be pleased with Massive Chalice, I'm more into games like that than say, Volgar or Guacamelee.

 

[KDC720]

Kinda hoping for Legend of Korra. Massive Chalice isnt a bad option though.

 

[Demojay13]

Quite a few sites saying it could be Forza 5.

I still think we'll get two games this month, if not for E3 then for GWG anniversary. Remember Street Fighter was a bonus game for 360 anniversary last year, maybe we'll get Massive Chalice and GZ?

360 has been awesome the past few months though, so I'm definitely excited for that more than the X1 these days. Maybe we'll see Fallout 3 or NV since F4 will most likely be announced at E3? Possibly Just cause 2 maybe in anticipation for 3?

 

[TheXbox]

Forza would be radical. I enjoyed the hell out of 4.

 

[krpiper]

I passed on Forza 5 due to the "meh" it received but it was patched pretty heavily right?

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

Ryse please

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

The problem with Forza 5 was that it was a launch game and as such was missing a lot of the modes and features that 4 had. This happens to driving and sports games frequently during a generational transition but you need to know this so that you aren't as disappointed with F5 if that's what we get.

 

[The Inventor]

Ryse please

This, as always.

For 360, hoping for Fallout 3 or NV or XCOM or XCOM: The Bureau.

is this from a rumour? or just wishful thinking?

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

I think you misunderstood.

I'm saying their last 2 months have been Pool Nation and Castlestorm. I know they leap frog.

So this month we'll get Castlestorm and something. Pool Nation will drop off. But since Rayman they've been really disappointing. They need to pick it up.

 

[Shanlei91]

I wouldn't mind Dungeon Siege 3 as the free 360 game.

JEYNE KASSYNDER!

Yes yes, then everyone will be exposed to the shouting of that name.

 

[World SkiFree]

Just hoping. Doesn't seem unreasonable though. I've been pleasantly surprised by many of the recent 360 GwG offerings.

 

[Chris1]

is this from a rumour? or just wishful thinking?

lol I think he said that because I mentioned it, at least the fallout part, which is completely speculation/wishful thinking on my part.

Fallout would make sense though if FO4 is happening and the 360 gwg has been great this year so I have high expectations this month again. I mean, May has been probably the worst month for GWG and even that isn't bad, just that mafia 2 is relatively old now. This year we've gotten Witcher 2, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite and AC Black Flag just off the top of my head, the 360 GWG this year is heaps better than it was in 2013/2014 imo and we're not even halfway through the year yet. They stepped up their game hard for sure, now if only they'd do that with X1 GWG..

 

[JonnyKong]

I want to play that Kalimba game so I would be happy if it was that.

 

[Fat4all]

If they go for a 'full' release, I could see something like Ground Zeroes or Garden Warfare.

If it's an arcade release maybe Screamride?

 

[jesu]

I can't imagine they would any of the EA Access games on GWG.

 

[iN1njaCPFC]

It won't be screamride, if they just put it on sale.

 

[im_dany]

If it's an arcade release maybe Screamride?

Ground Zeroes was on sale last week I think (atleast on 360), Garden Warfare is free with EA Access.
Screamride is on sale until 2 June so it can't be free on the 1st.

 

[SmokedMeat]

What are the chances of Killer Instinct's barebones Season One bundle?

I doubt it, but it would be nice!

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

The fact that they're leaving it so late again tells me another sucky month is coming up.

 

[danowat]

Massive Chalice looks right up my street, a sort of a combination of Risk, Xcom, and the Sims, looks a bit of a time sink though, and I don't really need any more time sinks at the moment!!!

[BluenoseGames]

Ryse or Dead Rising 3 please or even better both !

The fact that they're leaving it so late again tells me another sucky month is coming up.

They always announce it on the last Thursday of the month or the last 2 days before the end of a month. This is nothing new.

 

[//DEVIL//]

The fact that they're leaving it so late again tells me another sucky month is coming up.

or they are cooking something big since its an E3 month.

i hope its Forza 5 or Ryse.

 

[im_dany]

They always wait too much, and honestly I don't like it.
Sony announce the PS+ lineup 1 week earlier, why can't MS always do that?

 

[Lima]

Who cares when they announce it? It's not like it's gonna be available sooner because of it.
