Nah, I don't think so. Wouldn't make sense since it was just on sale and is a relatively new game. They also haven't given away a full retail game yet, and that would be a weird one to start on.
I'll say... Never Alone (and #IDARB).
I think it will be that also
I'll be slightly annoyed for the $9 I spent but happy that others can play lol
It was on sale for 4 hours, then it mysteriously disappeared, and everyone acted like it was never supposed to be on sale. My guess is that instead of selling it for $10, MS last minute offered up GwG money and it proved a better option.
Hail mary guess though.

Apparently, it was not supposed to be on sale

Im pretty sure I know Aprils (or at least, what it could be, things change) but I dont know anything that should be releasing soon enough to be GwG for March. Probably something already released
What is it for April?

I believe it will be Lifeless Planet, but its unconfirmed as yet.

After looking at the history of the free games on wiki my expectations are extremely low

Lococycle is turning out to be The Last Guardian of Games With Gold. Always expected, never appearing.

Nonsense. It's a damn good game. Very funny and an epic soundtrack too.

With that, we have found the only person on the planet that considers Lococycle a damn good game.

Indeed. One day we might get an actual full price retail release game. One day.....

I would really like DR3 but I think Ryse and Forza 5 would be more likely.

I can't see a full retail game just yet. I want it, but they haven't even had deep discounts on launch titles yet. Lowest they have been is 25 bucks or so

They already did Powerstar Golf. At least outside America they did anyway. I got it free a few months back. Not the "free" base game. I have the full game unlock too.
Well obviously they would make the courses free too.
They've just made a Forza 5/Horizon 2 digital bundle so I doubt it'll be that.
Ryse would be good for me(already have DR3)

Ryse would be a good choice for me, also. I played it at launch and traded it while it held it's value. I have some rank vested in multiplayer and would love to sink some more time into it.
It's $22 on amazon right now, but come on Microsoft...give the dog a bone.

It seems like the right choice with screenshot functionality.

Doubt we will see a retail game until june to mark 1 year and for E3. First few retail games will probably be Ryse and Tomb Raider.
Would be nice to get Ryse next month, and it would go perfectly with the screenshot feature as DoctorWho said, but I don't see it happening just yet.

Threes is great, you'll be lucky to get a game that good!

It won't ever be Ryse, solely because of how huge the file size is for that game. Microsoft doesn't want to waste resources and money on thousands of people downloading a 50 GB game. If you want to make a good guess towards what a potential free game could be your first step should be to dismiss any game over 20 GB. Microsoft also wants to keep your hard dives as minimally filled with free games so that you have more room to download purchased games.
Dead rising 3 is 35 GB, so that one is unlikely to go free as well. Along with Forza 5 at 40 GB, that one isn't ever going to happen either.
Edit: Out of every free game with gold given away the largest has been D4 at ~ 9GB and the second largest was Crimson Dragon at ~ 7 GB, so I believe my theory holds. On Xbox 360 the free games with gold never got past 7 GB in size with Halo Reach at ~ 7 GB and Witcher 2 at ~ 7 GB.
A game like Styx Master of Shadows is likely to go free with it being only 6.48 GB on the xbox one, and it selling for only $7 during the sale. Don't expect it in March but do expect it in the coming months.

I'm debating getting Ryse for $22 on Amazon, maybe I should wait first
No doubt! The Xbox One has been out for like 15 months. It's about dam time we get a legit 60 dollar retail title and not an "arcade" title for once.
I called it in the sale thread the second they pulled it from the sale. If it is the GwG game, I am Vince McMahon walking all over this joint.
I wouldn't complain. Powerstar Golf is tons of fun. no online pvp sucks, though.
Now that you mentioned it, TR would be a great retail title for GwG. I'll be extremely surprised if it's not the first one or if it isn't November/December's.
The four hour pull has me assuming this as well. Also would be nice for energy one to get a free dark souls type game when bloodborne releases the same month
At first I felt them same, when I had my brand new console and I'd paid £20 for the privilege. Then I played the game some more an realised it was one of the worst games I've ever played.
I love Twisted Pixel too
I think TR is guaranteed before ROTR releases, because it was made free with PS+ for PS3 too so it's definitely a possibility. The only thing I'm not sure on is whether it'll be for 360 or xbox one, hopefully xbox one.
