jamie1000013 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Any of these games have achievements? I thought M$ make the developers charge for the games/DLC if it has achievements. Also good effort for putting this together :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vgfanatic1 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Any of these games have achievements? I thought M$ make the developers charge for the games/DLC if it has achievements. Also good effort for putting this together :-). The first 3 (Aegis Wing, Pinball, and Tinker) do have achievements. The rest don't. Well, I'm assuming Pinball does. Not positive. And I hate how Microsoft does that, I want free L4D dlc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Karma Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Here's a list of free Arcade games seeing as the free downloads thread isn't very active. Because getting nearly a post a day isn't very active.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andami Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Because getting nearly a post a day isn't very active.... Because the thread hasn't been updated in months. The Lips Store is also a free download, btw. Edit: You might also want to add Game Room since it is technically free and can net you around 100 GS for free.

MangledRex Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 No Yaris? although i think it may of been removed from the marketplace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Karma Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Because the thread hasn't been updated in months. While the list in the first post might not be updated, people are continually posting new stuff in it. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starstrukk X360A Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) Pinball FX 2 free? Based on the description, it sounds like if you already own Pinball FX then you can get the second one free (and I'd imagine it'd cost for everyone else.) The "Other" category isn't really Arcade games at all too. Just sayin'. They're just easier ways of browsing available DLC content. So, pretty much the only actual "free XBLA game" available is Aegis Wing, as Dash of Destruction was taken down a bit back, and Yaris before that. EDIT: I found this from Joystiq: It arrives as part of Microsoft's new Game Feast promotion, a Summer of Arcade-caliber lineup taking place during the holiday season. Instead of giving it the usual sequel treatment, Zen Studios is considering Pinball FX 2 as a platform -- like Hasbro Family Game Night, the "game" can be downloaded free of charge. It won't include any tables, but you'll be able to import all of your original Pinball FX content, free of charge, and add new tables via custom content packs.Source: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/08/31/pinball-fx-2-preview-the-pinball-youve-known-all-your-life/ Edited October 7, 2010 by Starstrukk X360A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andami Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 While the list in the first post might not be updated, people are continually posting new stuff in it. Just saying. Not really. Most new posts are just repeats of what someone else posted a page before or are somewhere along the lines of "cool, free stuff" or "thank you for the thread." I'll admit that I have seen 1 or 2 free things posted in that thread that I haven't seen in more up-to-date threads, but once or twice isn't very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Industrial Arts Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 So it sounds like Pinball FX 2 will have achievements based on specific new tables, otherwise, people with the old Pinball FX tables would be able to snag them for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellamouse9 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 It's worth noting that Aegis Wing is not available in the UK - I don't know about the rest of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arenazombie Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 If you add pinball FX2 you could add Family game Night and Game room as well since they are basicly free but you have to purchase the playable content in it. What about Hexic btw.? Is it downloadable from the marketplace? And actually I think Halo Waypoint and Lips Musicstore and stuff are no games!

SSJ3 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I wouldn't say FX2 is really free, what about this Tinker then are the achievements easy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, to answer your earlier question, Dash of Destruction and Harms Way are both free XBLA games that have really easy achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiyo Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 They put Hexic HD in the marketplace. After hearing too much complains of people accidentally deleting their copies of the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, to answer your earlier question, Dash of Destruction and Harms Way are both free XBLA games that have really easy achievements. Harms Way (which, by the way, should have an apostrophe. It hurts my OCD...) is still available and free, but Dash of Destruction is no longer available on the marketplace (at least not in the U.S.).

Elit3 m0nkey Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Harms Way (which, by the way, should have an apostrophe. It hurts my OCD...) is still available and free, but Dash of Destruction is no longer available on the marketplace (at least not in the U.S.). Dash of Destruction is no longer listed, however it is still on their server. So if you have previously downloaded it, you can go to you Download History and download it again. Same goes for Yaris. And since both are free, I believe there is no DRM on them like regular Arcade Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worhammer Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 If you have a windows phone, there are a couple free games. Flowerz, and I believe if you're AT&T ilomilo is free as well (it may be sprint, I forget which....alls I know is I didn't get it free on Verizon). Flowerz is crazy hard to 100% though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
