Assassin's Creed 2 next in Xbox free games lineup

4.4

Microsoft's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb confirmed this morning that Assassin's Creed 2 is the next free title in the Xbox "Games With Gold" Program. That means the Italiano assassino romp will be available for all those gratis stabs and requiescat en paces on July 16.

Announced during Microsoft's E3 press conference, the "Games with Gold" program highlighted Assassin's Creed 2 and Halo 3 on stage. After a little clarification, it turned out those two titles wouldn't be the first two games due in July. Defense Grid: The Awakening is currently free, with Ezio's exploits up next. There is no announced window for Halo 3 going free at this time.

So much fanboying in the comments.
I don't know if fanboying is even a word.
I also don't care.

ThisIs50 Oh my god. I just want HALO 3!

Can I ask, why? Surely you already own it and played the life out of it long ago? The only positive I can see to it is that they could potentially bring the game back to life for a month or so.

Not everyone has played Halo 3, don't assume that. Personally I'm getting it because I only have it's multiplayer through ODST but not the campaign.

jonathanrocks123 Microsoft sucks they release games that are old but PS3 releases games like battlefield and stuff! Microsoft is too greedy.

Greedy releasing for free? haha..

It costs to get battlefield on ps3.. you need playstation plus

/fail

You have to pay for XBL to man.

Yes we have to pay but
If it would be free it would be bad as PSN

What do you mean "As bad as PSN". It's a pretty good service.

It's a terrible service, and it is absolutely nothing compared to the new Xbox live coming out. Oh, and the new psn costs too.

It also costs for you to get free games on the Xbox 360. You need to buy an Xbox Live gold membership which actually costs more than Play Station +

newtonballs26 The way they get us is most of us already have all these ****king games. Especially Halo 3 if they could give us I don't know a selection list of games for us to vote on then to receive. Sucks considering I was told you were able to choose whichever games from the marketplace.

They are giving it to the people who don't. My Halo disc is scratched as hell, same with my AC II but downloading it will be awesome, for some people it does matter.
