Everyone expected Halo 3 or Assassin's Creed II , the first July without charge for Live Gold users is the tower defense Defense Grid: The Awakening . The announcement took some by surprise because everyone expected other titles, then we went to deepen as previously announced by Microsoft found that AC2 and H3 were not announced for July but only the game early, then we will have to wait until they get in the upcoming releases.

Returning to today, Defense Grid: The Awakening will be downloadable for free by all users Gold until July 15 and whosoever will have downloaded during this time it will retain possession permanently, even if the Gold subscription has not been renewed. At the time of this writing, the Marketplace gives the game for 800 MSP even if you are logged in with an account that is Gold; We invite you to try directly from the console or wait until the price is updated.

The next title Game With Gold is expected July 16.

Update : both the Italian and the U.S. Marketplace, the links that pointed to Defense Grid has been restored to point to Fable III . We don't know what this is, but for now the game is not yet free to download. We will update as soon as there will be new.

Update 2 : the game is now available for free download.
