The Xbox Games With Gold scheme is back for September 2016 and it is bringing us free games once more. What’s good about that you may ask? Well, this month’s titles are looking very tasty indeed."

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.
Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2
The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.
I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.
I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .
Earthlock is the standout. I know some will enjoy the BC titles but for me it's games ive hammered already.
I personally think that the XB1 games here are weak, but the 360 games are VERY strong. I currently don't have a XB1, but I think MS's strong linking of backwards compatibility with Games for Gold, is a pretty great policy. Looking at these lists really makes me hope that the Neo has PS3 backwards compatibility (power shouldn't be an excuse anymore). I still play my PS3 regularly, but I want to fully migrate over to my PS4 and pack the PS3 away.
This is the first month that I haven't played any of the offerings.
I'll gladly download all 4 this month
Never played EarthLock, Mirrors Edge or AC chronicles. So I'd say another good month for me.
They suck
