Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for March 2016 any good?

Neil writes "The Xbox Games With Gold scheme for March 2016 is nearly in play, bringing four new free games for Xbox One and Xbox 360 owners. But is the program actually worth getting excited about? Are the Games With Gold titles for March 2016 actually any good, or is it just another waste of your precious download limits?

Well, March is most definitely going to be a bit of a slow burner, but it'll finish on a note that is higher than anything we've seen before."

Can't wait to get stuck into Sherlock again, it got lost in my backlog but having it on digital will encourage me to venture back in.

[2pacalypsenow]

I think so

[Dewitt]

Super excited for both as I have never played them. SH especially intrigues me.

[UltraNova]

LOtF is a Dark Souls rip-off, in the good kind of way, albeit far easier ...that said its a pretty decent, yet short power fantasy light RPG with good visuals.

Now that's free its even better! Give it a try!

[creeping judas]

Never felt like playing full price for Lords Of The Fallen, but I will definitely DL that game and play it. And since there seems to be a lot interest in Sherlock Holmes, I guess I will try that as well.

[PS3Freak]

I'm playing it right now, it's actually a very fun game. Very rewarding when you figure out how to kill an enemy for the first time.

[gangsta_red]

Lords of the Fallen and Supreme Commander 2 (which will be playable on X1 also). I say yea, really good month for GwG.

[Dark_Crow]

If lords of the fallen frame rate problems have been fixed then definitely yes.

If they haven't been fixed they are both still decent games to play.

[Summons75]

Always wanted to try LOF, didn't hear good things about Sherlock though.

[Brohan]

I would love to see Lord of the rings battle for middle earth two in BC here soon. It is nice to see a decent selection of games this march.

Sherlock Holmes is a niche title. It's not bad, just slow. Good Graphics too.

Lord of the Fallen - solid hack and slash with good graphics.

Supreme Commander - haven't played it . But did support cross play with Pc back then.

Borderlands - for me the best part in the series - the backwards compatible version includes all DLC too. That's why the download is almost twice the size as the 360 Version.

Makes it 4 very good additions to everyone's library. Especially since its not your average Indie Game but proper titles.

[OldGuyStillGaming]

I heard the Borderlands that we're getting with GwG wasn't coming with the DLC?

It's supposed to be the basic game which I'm happy with either way

[Angerfist]

Its the Base game if you have only a 360. It's the complete Edition if you have the digital Version on Xbox One via Backwards Compatibility. I know cause I bought digitally a month ago.

[ocelot07]

Sherlock is a decent game. I could not get on with Lords of the fallen. To me it felt like it tried to be like Dark Souls way to much and failed.

Supreme Commander is really good as is Borderlands.

[ShadowKnight]

Yes, Sherlock is decent. I actually can't wait for the next game.

[christocolus]

Well I'm going to download them all. :)

[ShadowKnight]

Not bad at all!! About to start downloading!! :)

[Tumaras]

Not a bad lineup but unfortunately for me I have 3 of the 4. So only the Sherlock Holmes will be a pickup for me. Supreme Commander 2 is a great old game but I can't imagine playing an rts like it on console, the controls would be a real pain compared to PC.

[ocelot07]

The controls for the console version is actually pretty good. Obviously K&B is much better for RTS. But they did a decent job with the SC2.

[GrmpyolGamer]

Will definitely pick up Lords of the Fallen

[MasterD919]

Not sure why anyone wouldn't have Borderlands still but alright...

Honestly, it's hit or miss. You either get a great game that you missed out on or something not so great...

[hiawa23]

Not sure how you can complain about free stuff? If you don't like the games, don't download..

[InTheLab]

If you've never played a souls game, Lords of the Fallen is a decent title. But if you walk into the game expecting the balance of Souls....forget it. Game is filled with cheap enemies and even cheaper bosses...

[Rookie_Monster]

Is this a trick question? A retail XB1 game in Lords of the Fallen, Borderlands and supreme Commander....all playable on a XB1. What is there not to like?

IMO, the 2 X360 BC titles per month is a stroke of genius from Phil and team to give value to Live members.

[CyrusLemont]

Lords of the Fallen seems like a pretty good deal, plus it's a low key way to prep mass XBL audiences for Dark Souls 3

[ravens52]

Better than what we got on PS+ this month...atleast I think so.

[ThunderPulse]

More like Way better.

[FN4GM]

Nope.
