Capybara Games' role-playing game will be free for Xbox Live Gold subscribers October 1-15.

123 Comments

Microsoft today announced that Capybara Games' role-playing game Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes is the next free Xbox Live game for Gold subscribers.

No Caption Provided

The game, normally $15, will be free for subscribers October 1-15. Microsoft did not say which game will follow from October 16-31.

Clash of Heroes was originally released on Nintendo DS in 2009, before coming to Xbox 360 and other platforms.

Rainbow Six Vegas (normally $20) is currently free on Xbox Live for Gold members.

The free games are part of Microsoft's new Games With Gold program that gives Xbox Live Gold subscribers two free titles--to keep--each month until December 31.

    @Random_Virus @deathstream @DarkSaber2k Actually generally critics ARE gamers. I don't understand the delusional banter that happens on these comment areas so often. They are merely forced to be a lot more critical so that people have more to understand about the game. That's a challenging task. Much harder than sitting there bashing on a game or gushing about it. That being said, 86 metacritic and 86 average user rating shows the game is CLEARLY not bad. You may not enjoy it, which is fine, but that does not make it bad. I absolutely HATE GTA. I find it boring, repetitive and annoying. You'll never hear me call it bad though, because I know it's not a bad game. It's just not my type of game is all.

    @deathstream @DarkSaber2k Yes because I always put review scores over my personal experience as someone who both bought this game AND is a massive Might & Magic fan. Now run along child.

    @deathstream @DarkSaber2k Aren't you a bit bothered that you can pick up the game at gamestop for 2.99? Doesn't that make you think anything in particular? I'm sorry, it's a great game, but I'm disappointed.

    "Rainbow Six Vegas (normally $20) is currently free on Xbox Live for Gold members."

    I'm going to go ahead and guess you guys are only looking at the Xbox Marketplace. Completely overpriced.

    On Amazon, I can get this game brand new for $6 or I could get a used copy for $0.01.

    I knew they would end with Halo 3, at least I am thinking since time is running out. IMO it is a great choice to end the program, because IMO it is the hallmark of the Xbox 360 this generation. Might and Magic Clash Of heroes is an awesome game. It can be repetitive since it is a fairly simple puzzle game, but I enjoyed it for a whole 30 hrs.

    @Pyrosa @komuchen well, you're right with that, but to me it was forced. Last chapter sucked hard.

    But 20 hrs for that price is pretty good deal, I've got it cheaper for the PC though and I've had a blast... until last chapter that is. Not enough those side puzzles with limited movements to me.

    @quinten488 How so? GameSpot gave this game a good review, and it holds a very positive score on Metacritic. Sounds like a great risk-free way to try out a game that players may have missed due to bigger releases at the time.

    MS needs to make the links more prevalent again... The paid GTAV ads have been crowding out the links to other content.


    M&M Clash of Heroes is an EXCELLENT puzzle-RPG-hybrid. Truly stellar (and challenging) from beginning to end.

    @komuchen @Pyrosa I can't argue some of the cheapness, true... But in terms of ANY puzzle gaming, that's just about the only way they can add challenge at high levels.

    I have this game and I like it. I recommend those who are into the puzzle games check this out.

    With that said, this promotion seems to be losing steam when you look at it.

    First half-month: Fable 3 (Not my cup of tea but it's a big seller.)

    First full month: Defense Grid and Assassins Creed 2. (Good arcade game and most popular Assassin's Creed game.)

    Second month: Crackdown and Dead Rising 2 with Case Zero DLC. (You lucky *******s. I had to pay for all that.)

    This month: Magic 2013 and Rainbow Six: Vegas (??? What did someone decide that the deals were getting too good?)

    Next month: M&M: Clash of Heroes (Not a bad game although the last chapter was rushed but somewhat underwhelming as a Games for Gold opener.)

    @deathstream @thepyrethatburn It might but I kinda think that's going to be the last game in this promotion. This way, they end with one of the biggest titles that hit the 360.

    @zzamaro Like Sony isn't doing that on purpose. I've had PS+ for 2 years now and they NEVER offered good games like this. They're only doing it because MS decided to start giving free games.

    For about 6 months last year they had Infamous 2 as a free game. Maybe once per year there was something good. And 90% of the free games were arcade games, not full retail games.

    So while you may like to beat your drum to the Sony fanboy beat, I call bullshit when I see it. And Sony is so full of shit their eyes are brown.

    @Vodoo @zzamaro Sony has had amazing games for free on countless occasions. I own a 360 and every time I see our deals I shake my head. Even now PSN is offering Saints Row 3 for free and that game is full price. They've offered Borderlands, Dues Ex, XCOM, Street Fighter 4 AE, Uncharted 3 and a bunch of AAA games in the past.

    Don't bullshit yourself into believing that they don't give good deals to paying customers, let's face it, us 360 owners are getting the much shorter end of the stick here.

    @Vodoo @zzamaro And rememeber, that these games are yours only as long as you maintain that PlayStation Plus membership. Drop the membership, you lose access to the games. The Microsoft games are free to users who download them forever. While these are indeed good games for that service, it helps to understand the nature of the offer first.

    @Solace427 @RandyAU93 @Vodoo @zzamaro Games that are part of the "Instant Game Collection" are free to download and play as long as the player maintains a PlayStation Plus membership. If the membership lapses for any reason, the games are unplayable until the player reactivates the membership.

    The offer is different, although fanboys can't resist saying how good Sony's "free" games are compared to Microsoft's free games. One is a rental service (and certainly not a bad one) while the other is a true giveaway.

    I am in disbelief about that. O.o Seriously. Not being sarcastic. I did not know that at all. Glad I never got PS+ when I had a PS3...

    @feared4power They had a sell on that game not too far back. I think I DLed it for about $9.99. Not free, but still a killer deal.

    Honestly I've never even heard of this game. One of those titles that I likely never would've payed money to play, so being that it's a free title, I'm definitely going to look into it. So long as it's not as awful as Dark Messiah. That game was a disaster. Not even worth the $5 I paid for it.

    @DarkReign2552 It's a good game. I enjoyed it. Was a bit addicted at first. The strategy element, at least for me, was a refreshing take on a puzzle RPG.

    Another game not worth going back to XBL for. Why don't they offer a AAA game? If you're going to offer an older RPG, why not Mass Effect or Fallout 3 instead of this? Why not one recent release? This Games for Gold promo is sad
