Today is also the “official” first day of Xbox Live’s Free Gold games which will drop at the 1st and 15th of every month. The first game to be released for this is Defense Grid: The Awakening. Now some users may be a little upset with this as Microsoft first announced that Halo 3 and Assassins Creed 2 would be part of this program at E3 , however they never mentioned that they would be launch titles.
“Halo 3 and Assassin’s Creed II were mentioned as part of the program – no date was given for their release,” said Xbox Live director of programming Larry Hryb (aka MajorNelson) on Twitter. “I don’t know what titles will be released when, but I’ll let you know what they are when I find out.”
