Radiant silvergun... wow that takes me back. Loved it on the saturn. Never played the other three though.

[0rbital71]

space invaders...yeessss!

[TheColbertinator]

Radiant Silvergun is a masterpiece. Play it.

[darthv72]

i'd love it if this game came out on a compilation cart for the switch. It can include ikaruga, sin & punishment, alien soldier, gunstar heroes. they could call it the "Treasure Chest". it would fit in with other compilation carts like the Psykio and Darius collections.

Trash on 360 side it's alot of good xbox360 games Microsoft could choose max Payne 1,2,3,GTA4,Sonic Generation,Mortal Kombat 9

[darthv72]

They did give away Sonic Generations... back in March of last year. Where were you?

[BrainSyphoned]

I look at these articles every month and have claimed zero GwG titles. Forgetting any redeeming titles that were included with the trash heap is completely understandable.

[Bigman4k]

Ok wow look how many months its been since they gave good xb360 games PS+ always has at least 1 or 2 good free games people been complaining about GWG for months now Microsoft still hasn't done nothing to change that i dont see why you're trying to defend them

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Radiant Silvergun is a cult classic

[darthv72]

"I dont see why you're trying to defend them.".... I didn't. I acknowledged your comment about Sonic Generations. If you think someone correcting you is a sign of defending something else then I can't help you there.

[autobotdan]

Littleman2k has disappeared..

[justadelusion]

xbox 360.. lol

[Bigman4k]

Yeah Xbox 360 had some good games plus Microsoft not giving away no good xbox one/series x games for GWG

[anast]

None of those games are worth more than $5.

[Orchard]

A quick two second check on the article shows they are all over $5.

[justadelusion]

You can price a turd at over $5 too, doesn't mean it is worth it.

[MrBeatdown]

Protip: Just because someone charges you a certain amount doesn't make it worth that amount.

[Deeeeznuuuts]

Wow

[Spenok]

This has to be one of the most laughable list of "free games" I've seen across any service ever.

[smashman98]

Can’t really make games with gold appealing when all the good stuff is on the other service.

[Elda]

Just smh.

[CrimsonWing69]

Radiant Silvergun is actually one worth being happy over especially if you're an Ikaruga fan.

[_Decadent_Descent]

Radiant Silvergun is a great game. These haters can get stuck.

[MrChow666]

One of the best shmups ever made, they are not just haters but stupid ignorants also

[46player]

They are sending a message “ get on Gamepass or piss off for free games”. Few will be excited about what they are offering.

[Orchard]

GWG continues to be on life support.

If MP was free on console there would literally be no reason to subscribe to Gold.

They should just merge online play with GP already and scrap Gold (and GWG).

[Mr_Luke]

Oh well... Radiant Silvergun seems interesting, i always liked those kind of games. I'll play it more for nostalgia than anything else tho. No idea what Aground is, but checking around it seems funny, even if i'm not a big fan of old style pixellated games.

[Father__Merrin]

Good back compat games to play. Best thing is they are 100% yours to keep. Normal games are meh

[Lexreborn2]

Ever since gamepass GwG has majorly suffered in quality content.

[ARESWARLORD]

nice

[jznrpg]

Games that are old , games with mold , games that would have never sold .

[Gamer79]

I would rather have great older classic games than bad newer ones.
