Just picked up Sleeping Dogs yesterday, not a bad game like. Heck, it's a free game, can't go wrong with that. Not fussed on the Lara Croft game but hey, it could be good.

[Fishy]

My new idea of these free games is to download them, cancel the download. Free games are free games, but doesn't mean I want them.

I've never heard of these titles before, but hopefully they'll be good enough to enjoy somewhat. I'm not one to complain, especially if it's free, but I do hope to see more titles that were successful when they were produced.

 

But like I said, FREE. So they're automatically a must download.

I've heard Sleeping Dogs is a pretty good game, I'm not to into Lara Croft though, yeah it's free, but a game I could go without.

I'm really surprized you haven't heard about Sleeping Dogs. It was a pretty popular game when it came out.

To be fair, Sleeping Dogs isn't that great of a game. It's descent, the type of game you just stick in, do some Kung-Fu and complete missions as a triad gangsta or whatever. It's nothing special, not saying it doesn't have anything cool in the game, it's just descent. I think it was popular when it came out because people were comparing it with GTA, which it was no where near the quality of GTA.

[Extreme Prejudice]

What do you expect from a small-time developer with limited resources though?

[Screech]

I've heard good things from my friends who got the free download but I don't really have any space on my 360 HDD so I think I'm gonna have to pass on it

Take note that you don't have to finish the download to get the game for free. Once you initiate the download, you can cancel it and download it for free at a later date.

I never thought about that. You can just set all of the games with gold into you active download "folder" and just keep them there undownloaded until you are ready for them. Neat.

Anyways, already downloaded Sleeping Dogs and the little bit I've played seems to be like a really fun game. And like always with games for gold. It's free.

[ShockGazm]

I have sleeping dogs, and to be honest, it's not GTA but it's pretty darn close. 

 

Hmm, I wouldn't say pretty darn close. GTA has better everything and more of everything compared to Sleeping Dogs, the concept is similar but isn't really on par with GTA. Saints Row is the closest to GTA but overall the only games close to GTA would be the Rockstar games themselves.

Wow, I had no idea you could do that! Thanks for the heads up

Sleeping Dogs, sounds like a kind of fun game. Like the kind of game I would like to play. But the title sounds kind of dumb if you ask me. To me it sounds kind of like a Grand Theft Auto game, just more independent and in Hong Kong. I may buy this game. 

[The Stig]

Too bad we don't get Sleeping Dogs for PC as well. I wanna play as Kim Kardashian and have my sidekick buddys be justin bieber, Jackie Chan, Mr. Sulu, and bruce lee... And I wanna fight armies of mutant-zombie kittens... Yay for modding!

[Ghost Recon]

I can't wait to play Lara Croft when it comes out next week.

[ShockGazm]

We need better free games, I'd like to add. Maybe games like Gears of War 2, or Black Ops 1. Just something that's worth downloading and playing again.

I think Sleeping Dogs is a fair one. However I do agree most of the Games for Gold have been pretty lackluster.

Yeah, Sleeping Dogs is descent. Saves me from buying it, so that's a good thing.

[RelevantEagle22]

Does someone know if "Games with Gold" will continue all this year?

I find it funny how most GTA type games and GTA wanna-be games turn out being way better than GTA (In my opinion and a LOT of my friends opinions), the only good GTA game is honestly their new game, GTA 5.

GwG was supposed to end after December so I honestly don't have any clue when/if it will.

See I agree with you to a fault. I think most of the "GTA wanna be games" are better (although I haven't played Saints Row) the only GTA games I like are Vice City and San Andreas. When IV came out a lot was changed and I completely lost interest and I didn't bother playing V.

I TAKE THE GAME LARA CROFT AND THE GAME IN NOT BAD, ESPECIALLY FOR GRAPHICS.
