The next free offering in Microsoft's Games with Gold program is aging Xbox Live Arcade title Defense Grid: The Awakening, Microsoft has announced.
Xbox Live Gold subscribers can download the tower defense game for free today until 15th July, Major Nelson revealed. It's usually 800 Microsoft Points - a saving of £6.80.
Another free game will come along on 16th July, a twice-monthly pattern that Microsoft announced during its E3 presentation. Assassin's Creed 2 and Halo 3 were also namechecked as coming to the service "in the next few months".
The scheme is a rival to Sony's generous PlayStation Plus service. The two subscriptions cost roughly the same each month, although Sony's line-up of free stuff is infinitely more generous.
This month with a PlayStation Plus subscription you could download, for free: Uncharted 3, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Catherine, The Cave, Demon's Souls, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus HD, Kingdom's of Amalur: Reckoning and LittleBigPlanet Karting.
That's not counting the free Vita titles: Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush, Rayman Origins and Sine Mora.
