Games with Gold for March Goes Live a Day Early

Games with Gold for March Goes Live a Day Early

For the second time in three months, Microsoft has lifted the toll gates a bit early on its Games with Gold promotion: The first of the March freebies are already available.

Reminder: All Xbox 360 games in the Games for Gold promotion also work in Xbox One in Backward Compatibility mode too. So Xbox One users with Xbox Live Gold subscriptions are technically getting at least four free games each month.

    <p>Did anyone think that these games are released right on time for us people in Australia and it only appears early for US Americans who are a lot further behind the sun?</p>

    <p>"Casual" players received a simple social component. "Hardcore" is attracted by the brand and the competition part. Media received an information guide. Internet provider of memes. Behind all this is a primitive game, working with problems, a secondary game in its essence. Amazing? Not really. Nintendo Companyhas already done similar things with the help of its Wii and DS consoles. These systems were also aimed at a broad audience. And Pokemon GO expects similar success and a similar underlying problem: how to keep attention for not a week or two, but at least for a few years, when the noise subsides? After all gamers quickly change preferences.&nbsp;</p>
