Xbox Live Games with Gold for August 2014

Super Turbo Championship Edition and Max: The Curse of Brotherhood. Now is a good time download those two if you haven’t already.

    
On Xbox 360, starting Friday, August 1st, Motocross Madness (normally US $9.99) will be free for Xbox Live Gold members through August 15th.

Then on August 16th, Xbox Live Gold Members can download Dishonored (normally US $19.99) for free through August 31st.

    

*Titles are available as free downloads for qualifying Xbox Live Gold members in all markets where Xbox Live is available. Some regions may offer different titles depending on market availability.

    Wow. I had motocross madness back in 1998 when it was first made. Putting avatars on it doesnt shine it up at all. Its still 16 years old. Games with gold continues to be a worthless perk.

      I bought motocross when it came out. Horrible camera, but still fun. It’s good for a few hours of game play. After that you’ll never go back. Definitely worth the FREE price

      I agree, both those games are awesome. I bought both of those a while back and have played them both through a few times. Looks like the GwG for X1 is going really in a good direction now.

      For the 360 maybe. I’m not very hopeful of the 2 X1 games this month, they have gotten some pretty bad reviews, I’ll try them though, free is free.

    There’s only one free game for XBox One for July since Max was one of the free game for June. Correct me if I’m wrong.

      That is not wrong for most. I guess it would be for anyone who bought the console in July though because they wouldn’t have had a chance to pick up Max in June.

    For the people complaining about the GWG program and comparing it to the PSN+ program… Didn’t PSN have crappy games in the beginning for a long time as well? To be honest GWG on the 360 hasn’t been bad compared to when PSN+ started.

    Question: Does anybody know if you can purchase any of the free Games For Gold games on Xbox One once your Gold Membership expires. I know you have to make another PS plus account if you wanna purchase the previous PS plus games if your membership expires. Does the same apply for Xbox One because I may wanna purchase Crimson Dragon and SS Zero in the future when they are on sale.

        If you download the free games on Xbox One while your gold and your gold membership expires if I don’t wanna renew my gold membership can i just purchase the games? Because on PS Plus you can’t. In order to purchase the games you have to buy them on a different account from the account that you downloaded them for free on. The only way you can replay the free games that you downloaded is if you renew your PS Plus membership. Im just trying to see if the same applies for the Xbox One games in case I wanna purchase them in the future. Then I won’t download them for free.

        I don’t know why you would let your Gold Expire, and good luck finding many Sales on Xbox One without it. But I would Assume you are correct.

        If you’re asking if you need to have a gold membership to keep, play and re download it, no, once you download it while its free, you get to keep it. If you delete it, you can redownload it for free. Hope that helped.

    Love the GwG program, but it is exceedingly lame that Dishonored was just on sale and then immediately submitted for the GwG program. It makes me very distrustful of xbox live sales. Apparently, I should now beware of discounted games because they are bound to end up as GwG?? Clearly, its better to just wait a month for sale items to be dumped into GwG. Well, at least my money went towards a great game that deserves the love.

      If you are a gambler then yes. Consider you get 4 different sales weekly with lets say on average of 5 games on sale (usually more but using the smallest number here). That’s 20 sale games and maybe, MAYBE 2 (Never seen 2 that were just on sale be free but using the largest possible number here) of those MIGHT be free in the following months. 10% using the best possible numbers is a small % considering its more like 2-5% chance it may happen.

      Well for me it’s worth the $5 to get it now and not gamble on not getting it free later. But to each their own.

    All I know is that Xbox One has been out barely for a year, and it’s getting free games. This kind of thing would be BEYOND comprehension in the old days. So if you are on Xbox One and you are complaining about any lowered price or any free game, you are being unreasonable.

    OK. Donwloaded Motocross Madness on my Xbox 360 slim and it just either goes into a black screen and freezes or it just freezes before it loads anything. I deleted the entire directory for the game and redownloaded and it still does the same thing. I’ve tried over and over again and no luck. Anyone else get the same issue? It’s a bit annoying

      Black screen is an issue that is happening across the board not just this game. I’ve been lucky and not had the black screen on anything including this game. Go to xbox dot com and click on support and you will see what I’m talking about.

      Motorcross Madness requires perfect timing and precise control to get a lot of the hidden/special objects. The camera and controls make it frustrating pull off most of the time.
