I still have to find all the friggin orbs! Stupidly frustrating!

[TA]

Nice one. Use them quite often but like to try and get them on my own first. On crackdown 2, only need about 3! Might try and find them later.

I still have to find all the friggin orbs! Stupidly frustrating!

I need 8 more hidden orbs now, got all the Agility orbs but needed 5 for ages, found 3 on a boss section, randomly went back to the Agency Tower and found the remaining 2 sitting near a helipad!

[NeuroticAlias]

Sweet! Will probably fire this up tomorrow to hunt them down!

Played Rainbow Six last night for the first time in about 6 years, it looks awful in comparison with other shooters, very dated, still plays great though.

Yeah, I may attempt to strike it up again. It seems a bit of a jab in the ribs though for them to release this game as part of this program, (I realize it's free and we can't be too picky about what we get) but, all things considered, the online component is nowhere near alive as far as I know. And I remember that being a strong component of the Rainbow Vegas games.

I realize the whole 'don't look a gift horse in the mouth' thing applies here, (as well as the fact that this Games With Gold Program isn't permanent), but seems the PS Plus folks may be getting a sweeter deal.

[Playstation Plus Getting Hotline Miami & KoA: Reckoning This October]

That's in addition to "Telltale Games' Poker Night at the Inventory 2, and an HD remake of Shadow of the Colossus"...and Sine Mora. (Europe gets Far Cry 3, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, Street Fighter x Tekken, and Touch My Katamari.)

Wonder if MS will ever consider countering this with something nearing the PS offers.

October Xbox Live Games With Gold: Might & Magic and Halo 3

Microsoft has confirmed that Halo 3 will be October's second Games with Gold title following Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, which will be available to download for free from tomorrow until October 15th.

Both Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes and Halo 3 normally retail on Xbox Live for $14.99, but will be yours to download for absolutely nothing.

You'll be able to grab Halo 3 from October 16th for free, providing you're an Xbox Live Gold member, of course.

Microsoft extends free Xbox Games with Gold program indefinitely
Program will be "an ongoing benefit for Xbox Live Gold members on Xbox 360"

Good news, penny pinchers! Microsoft has announced that it will continue to give out two free Xbox 360 games to Xbox Gold subscribers each month after the end of the year, following an "overwhelming response" from community members.

"At E3 2013, we launched Games with Gold as a limited-time program to thank our Xbox Live Gold members," reads a blog post on the News Wire. "Within that short period of time, we've seen an overwhelming response, with more than 120 million hours played with Games with Gold titles. Today, as a part of the Week of Xbox Live, we're excited to announce that we are making Games with Gold an ongoing benefit for Xbox Live Gold members on Xbox 360.

"Whether they are blockbuster AAA or popular arcade titles, Games with Gold continues to offer a diverse mix of games with two free Xbox 360 titles a month - yours to keep and at no additional cost," it continues. "According to recent surveys, 97 percent of participating members have given their stamp of approval for Games with Gold, and we're excited to continue bringing you great games every month as part of our ongoing commitment to providing great value on Xbox 360."
