[Quo]

Xbox live members will be treated to a free arcade download on Thursday November 15th (Source). What game is everyone choosing? What's out there that's good?

ha I was just fixn to make this thread. Anyone play spades?

[Serren]

Details?

Probably a puzzle game for my wife. However, I wouldn't mind getting a fun card game like spades or uno or something.

Has that Omega shooting game come out yet? It looks like a pretty fun, action packed game for the XBL arcade.

Direct from Gamasutra:

November 15th marks the five year point of the service, and and company has said that, "as a gesture of thanks to the gaming community," all Xbox Live gamers will get one free Xbox Live Arcade game, as well as 500 free Microsoft Points for all members who joined the service at its start in 2002.

You do not choose the free game. Carcassone is free for 48 hours, starting on Nov. 15.

[Quo]

Ack! That's what I get for getting partial info. Thanks for the details, Wallace. I followed the link back but never could follow it all the way back to M$.

I guess I'll choose Carcassone!

[Wallace Suka]

I got this from MS.

[Wondermonkey]

Quo with his misinformation!

Yes, starting the 15th, and available for 24 hours, you can download Carcassone for free. In addition, Gamers who have been part of Xbox Live since 2002 will receive a free gift of 500 MS Points.

Cha-ching.

I've been with Live since beta testing started. Now let's see if all their accounts are correct and I get 500 points. I haven't missed a yr either.

I guess I'll get Carcass..one too. (Carcass rocks!)

[Wallace Suka]

It is 48 hours.

I bet since you got into the Halo 3 beta on your own account, and instead of playing it played Guitar Hero II, you get 12,000 Pts instead.

Ive always wanted to give Carcassone a try. And free is a nice price point. :-)

I have been with Live since week one, so hopefully I'll be getting those points as well.

[Peench]

That's really cool. I have wanted to play Carcassone also so this is a nice treat! And I just got my replacement 360 in the mail yesterday.

[AlphaQ GehaD]

ok one more question, is 48 hours the Download period, Or is the game gonna be gone after 48 hours and you have to pay to get it after that?

[Wallace Suka]

You have 48 hours to download it for free. After that, you have to pay 800 MS points.

I had this on my old box (my g/f picked it up). I was going to rebuy it, but this is awesome. It is a pretty fun game. I would love to get some MP going with it.
