Xbox One's free game for Xbox Live Gold subscribers in February, the crazy eight-player game #IDARB, has gone live ahead of time. You can download it right now for the low price of $0.00.

It's possible Microsoft flipped the freebie switch early to make up for February only having 28 days, but that's not been confirmed. On March 1, the game will return to its normal price of $15.

Also known as It Draws a Red Box, #IDARB is tough to pin down. It's part platformer, part hockey, part fighting game, and part party game. I suggest watching the video above to see what it's all about.

For more on Xbox Live's free Xbox One and Xbox 360 games for February, check out this post.

The beauty of this game is that the action in the game is directly effected by random hashtag tweets from Twitter. The game is genius. Anyone that 'hates' this game either hasn't played it or doesn't have a sense of humor. The game is brilliant.

"What kind of crappy freebie is this?! Why don't you give us a proper freebie like Dying Light!"

Sigh... While I like Microsoft giving this game early for download. It just is not my cup of tea.

Your need to yell your disaproval for this game is strange, why do you care so much that people know you don't like it? Spreading antihype like it's your job.

I doubt you have an Xbox One.

I don't care that people know I don't like it, I'm just voicing my opinion on what seems to me like pointless game. Nobody's gonna download it bc worthless and nobody's gonna buy it for $15 bc worthless. If they do they're probably you bc you're the only one who seems to like bullshit games like this.

I'm pretty sure you still live with your parents.

You're just spreading antihype, seems like you're just trying to damage the Xbox One however you can.

Looks like I struck a cord, with your petty insult, must have been close.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Spreading 'antihype' would assume there's hype for this game to begin with, there isn't. We're not trying to damage the Xbox, we're trying to improve it, we all deserve better than this.

I honestly don't understand why you don't want the GWG program to offer quality games.

"there isn't"

Not if you have anything to say about it. See how that works?

You're not, you're pretending you are so you can get away with talking sh*t and spreading crap about it as if it were a good thing you were doing. You're a decietful, but see through lame. With far too much time and alts on your hands.


How are you not moderating sh*t like this gamespot? One ass hat with 50 accounts able to drum up whatever kind of slander and antihype they want is okay? Need to connect this sh*tty website to facebook so people can only have one account, watch half the threads just deflate.

<< LINK REMOVED >> There's nothing for Gamespot to moderate, This is my only account and I'd welcome them to look into it if it makes you feel better. I'm it's easier to assume it's one person disagreeing with you but reality doesn't work that way. You'll just have to face it, this was an unpopular game choice by Microsoft

It's ironic you have the audacity to call me decietful considering your post history. For every whine, cry, and temper tantrum you throw about Sony fans you don't even see that you're worse than any of them. You senselessly bash games on other platforms and then defend this pile of dog feces. At least admit it, if it were a PS4 exclusive you'd hate IDARB as much as I do.


Its people like you, defending everything Xbox does that gives us Xboxers a bad name.

I think you're head is so far up your ass that you actually believe what you say...

"I may be a pony b*tch boy that takes every opportunity to devalue anything on the Xbox One, but I'm not doing that right now, this game just sucks!" In a thread, albeit not thriving, but generaly praising the game with 2 or 3 idget ponys doing work to make it seem like everyone hates it.

The PlayStation community seems to be filled with crap brained dousches like yourself constantly doing work to devalue anything Microsoft does. While thinking you're such a wordsmith you can make it seem like it's deserved and the Xbox One players, nowhere to be seen besides me actually doing something about your pestilence, are the ones who are the crappy people. It's you though.

That's the thing buddy, you'll see me, and all other Xbox fans I'm sure, all over this site constantly praising PS4 games, Xbox One games, AND Nintendo games. That makes the community, the industry and ourselves thrive innit? The petty id*ots that hate everything not on their consoles are generally, if not always, of the pony variety. Or fat headed PC assh*les just lashing out at everything.

I'd give this game proper recognition, it being an AWESOME game, like I have a plethora of PlayStation titles because I'm not an imature petty nuasance of a dolt, filling these threads with hate, save for when addressing you that is, but you have it coming.

<< LINK REMOVED >> And now you've resorted to lying. Who was the "crap brained dousche" who wrote the following in the Why you should buy a PS4 article?

"Also games are far better on Xbox One, compared to any system. It's development that matters and they work hard on Xbox One games where PC ports are nothing short of shoddy and PS4's invesment is purely "make ours a higher resolution sacrificing anything else (like gameplay and fun) to get it there".

So much for you constantly praising other consoles. That comment alone is as mindless fanboy as it comes and your whole post history is filled with them.


And even though your tiny little fanboy brain can't comprehend it, I own an X1 - I'm just not completely satisfied with it yet. So I'll continue to complain when Microsoft does something to warrant it, and send them negative feedback when they deserve it. Thank goodness Microsoft is more open minded about customer feedback than you are.

<< LINK REMOVED >> We could all ask a similar question to you.

Why do you care so much that people know you like it? Why do you spread hype like its your job?

Serious question, is there ANY game on the X1 that you don't like? There should be, because if not then you're just as bad as the Sony fans you despise.

IDARB is just a bad game regardless of platform and if I were its developer I would be ashamed of myself, I'm embarrassed Microsoft even allowed it on the console. As consumers we should all be demanding better

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> Except that IDARB isn't a bad game at all. It's quite good, actually. Very unique, fun, and action-packed multiplayer chaos. I'd take an unique game like IDARB over a disappointment like Destiny any day.

@northArrow I can tell you're a real gamer unlike that other kid, I couldn't agree with you more. You'd think next gen consoles would bring you intriguing and exciting games in 1080 @60fps but instead Microsoft releases shit games for free that look as pixelated as minecraft, X1 gamers want more.!!

Two narrotic opinions doesn't make #IDARB any less of an awesome game.

Superbly made really the first big multiplayer indie of its kind.

Love the game.

A lot of people love the game.

And there's a few people taking as big of a sh*t on the game as possible going as far as to feign deep offense from Microsoft. You people need to find something better to do with your time, pretending to be disgrunteled fans of a system you're doing nothing but attempting to devalue isn't working for you.

So the comments aren't filled with complaints about it being an indie game like every ps+ article? Interesting..

<< LINK REMOVED >> the problem is that most ps+ users became pampered during the ps3 days when we got free AAA titles every few months (not always but ill concede that point before this becomes an arguement). but, there simply hasnt been enough AAA games for the ps4 to start giving them away. soooo, we get indie games. which, for the record, im fine with. a free game is a free game, regardless of how you look at it.

Just played six rounds of the single player, and it's really good fun (but incredibly hectic once you start two-on-two matches).


Best thing I could describe it as is a cross between Smash Bros and Sensible Soccer! Also, the humour will probably fly straight over some younger heads, with the announcers shouting things like 'Welcome to the party, Pal' and ' We're gonna need a bigger boat'...There's also this disclaimer:


'Your game settings allow the people of the Internet to interact with you. This may include profanity, threats, nudity and unrealistic money making opportunities.'

It's called pony's who wouldn't appreciate anything on the console anyway, slandering and devaluing anything they can get there hands on cause it makes their PlayStation better.

Talk sh*t

???????

Profit!!!!!!

When all they're doing is inspiring an ugly community.
