Free Multiplayer Gaming for Silver Memberships on Xbox Live

Players with Xbox Live Silver Memberships will have the opportunity to taste some of the multiplayer experience before they upgrade to gold memberships. Microsoft is calling this "Friendship is Free" and for a month these players that have yet to upgrade will see the multiplayer functionality functions for eight games be unlocked for them to try out.

Why o why5615d ago

are you frikkin kiddin me or what. Thats its MS give em a taste then 'wallop' F U PAY ME because they'll be hooked right?

OfficerTenpenny5615d ago

they will have to purchase or have purchased the games to truly enjoy them too, so they will make some money on the sales too.

Nineball21125615d ago

LOL @ Why o why!!

I was thinking the exact same thing when I read that. Couldn't they have thought of a more appropriate slogan?

C'mon let's all admit.... Friendship is DEFINITELY NOT free with MS.

Is a month not long enough? When the cable companies give away free weekends of HBO or Showtime I don't complain. Can't really see what is to complain about getting free month on live. Usually they give 48 hours of free live with certain games (gears2 had a card for it). I'll take a month of free over 48 hours any day.

Oh and when the cable free weekend is over...I just go back to watching regular cable or movies. I just wish they would have them more often (or maybe a months worth of free HBO).

Why o why5615d ago

thats my problem. free trials are always good but to accompany it with that slogan just seems counter-productive because in essence friendship is NOT free on xbl

Pretty good idea, better if you could play any game, should of thrown a free month in for the Gold Subscribers to. Keep it fair.

Counter_ACT5615d ago

but its not a good idea because you cant play any game

Says Sony ... Come my gamers, its fun and free :) We don't discriminate!

jmare5615d ago

What's sad is it's not games like Halo, gears or CoD, it's XBLA games. While they might be fun, this would work better with the big games that people play online.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii100d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies100d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer138d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog137d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned138d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c138d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb137d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72137d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman137d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos137d ago (Edited 137d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows137d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
