How exciting, last month we had Assassins Creed II which I downloaded for free and played a couple of levels before realising why I never bought the blasted thing.

Now we have Dead Rising 2! I had this game, I don’t remember why I stopped playing it but I did love it. Coupled with Off The Record, my zombie slaying is coming home in August!

I’ve also heard good things about Crackdown so I’ll pick that up too. I am enjoying this Games for Gold series. Top marks Microsoft!

The next set of free games for Xbox Live Members in August will be Crackdown, Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Case Zero.

Starting tomorrow (August 1st) the award winning Xbox 360 exclusive Crackdown (Normally US $14.99) will be free for Xbox LIVE Gold members through August 15th .

Then on August 16th, Xbox Live Gold Members can grab BOTH Dead Rising 2 (Normally US $29.99) and Dead Rising 2: Case Zero (Normally 400 points) for free.

As a reminder, the “Games With Gold” program gives Xbox LIVE Gold Members 2 free games to keep each month. A new title will be available the 1st and 16th of each month.
