Not that it's important, but Valiant Hearts and Child of Light are both Ubisoft games, not indies.

Not that it's important, but I didn't say they were.

Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious is free for the next 2 weeks, on both Xbox 360 and Xbox One:
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/forz...st-and-furious

It's a "standalone expansion," which means you don't need Forza Horizon 2 in order to play it. After April 10, the expansion will cost $10.

Free to play until the 10th? Or if I grab it now will I always be able to play it?

This just moved from a "hm, that might be cool to have" to a "Meh, funk that shit."

I do, but I don't like the have to pay after the 10th. when realistically speaking if I chose to play this before then, it would be like an hour worth - tops.

No, if you do not "buy" this before the 10th, then you have to pay $10. You can buy it for free now.

It's not like it is a trial...

It is "on sale" now for free...

This week's deals.

I'm tempted to get Resident Evil.

Star Wars pinball is on sale. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I need to buy it on 360 for it to also unlock for Xbox One?

You are correct. At least for everything I've bought before now!

That's correct if you want it on both systems. If you just want an XO copy, you can just buy that. And of course you can buy the 360 version on the website and still get it on both systems -- you don't have to play the 360 copy first or anything.

Far Cry: Blood Dragon is $3.74 and Double Dragon Neon is $2.49 for Gold Members this week. Blood Dragon's a must for that price.

The Bioshock: Infinite Season Pass and Burial at Sea: Episodes 1 and 2 are also 50% off.

Nothing too exciting otherwise, for either the One or the 360.

Pool Nation FX got a pretty significant update, including better ball physics/rolling, a top-down camera for full angle visibility, and an upgrade to 60fps. Load times and file size were also addressed, but it's still big and takes a good while to boot up.

Thanks for the heads up on the Infinite Season Pass. I'd been wanting to get those episodes for a while now.

Free games for June:

Xbox One
Massive Chalice
Pool Nation FX

Xbox 360
Just Cause 2
Thief

http://majornelson.com/2015/05/28/xb...for-june-2015/

Overall pretty shitty month. JC2 is awesome if you haven't played it yet, but it's 5 years old now and dirt cheap.

So they are repeating the Pool game for June as well? Lame.

Can't get enough of that crappy Pool game!

Don't know a thing about Massive Chalice. It's a Double Fine game? I'll give it a try for that reason.

There were rumors of Massive Chalice for the last week or so, not too surprised about that. Pool

Yes, it's a Double Fine game. It's been in Early Access on Steam since November, but the full version is set to debut on Windows and Xbox One on June 1:
http://www.gameinformer.com/games/ma...then-quot.aspx

So basically, it's a game debut being given away for free on Xbox One for Gold Members.
