This game is NOT part of the 'Games with Gold' promotion! I actually don't know why it's free, but hey - it's free!
These are the free games for this month's 'Games with Gold' - http://majornelson.com/2014/09/25/xbox-live-games-gold-octob…
Enjoy!

Sweet. Cheers!
got it! thanks
"Sorry
Your purchase cannot be completed at this time. Please try again."Why?!?! Anyone else getting this?
Hmmm.. gave me the error, but looking at my profile it says I've purchased it. Ah well… all good I guess.
FWIW, as a side note regarding free games, grab yourselves a copy of World of Tanks…in addition to being heaps of fun to play, they occasionally give you free 1 & 3 month Gold memberships to entice you to keep playing! :)
Great find! The Xbox Live Database is also a great resource to check once in a while to find deals:

Subscription is pretty good value, I don't but any games but have pulled to play. Another one to add to the list.
I LOVE this game. Been playing it non-stop since it came out.
Word of warning, the game has a steep learning curve. If you don't take some time to learn the game, the clases and how to play you'll get your butt kicked very quickly and rage quit. Every map is filled with secrets such as spots you can teleport to get into other parts of the map. It's very evenly balanced where each ability has a counter etc.
It's probably free because barely anyone is playing it now I guess. There's only 2 Aussies who play this with regularity (and I'm one of them). Please do the training first, it teaches you the very basics but not everything for example if you have smoke mapped, people with enhanced vision wont be able to see you through walls unless you're within 10m of them. Shooting a glider's wings will make them fall to the ground (but they can reopen them again). If you are in smoke the artifact can hurt you.
If you play as an elf or dwarf there's an unwritten rule to get resurrect immediately or you're a douche. If you clear bodies then you're a douche (because it's more fun to kill you again).
I loved this game.
Do you know if they still do cross platform with PC?
Don't have a 360 anymore.Yes there's still cross platform (and PC players still have a very obvious advantage). PC players can't speak to Xbox players anymore however. If you do play on PC, expect people to regularly vote for you to be kicked out because they wont like you.
Cheers for the heads up on this one, can always use more Shadowrun
Is this the annoying fps version that came out years ago. I hated that game worst $5 I ever spent.
Not showing up free for me, this happening to anyone else?
I loved this game, i have the disc version, a free digital copy would have been nice so i don't have to insert the disc.
dammit I missed out on a free xbox game!
Same unlucky, very underrated game, it's possible it may be in next months GWG lineup.
I'm surprised it hasn't been already. The game is owned by MS. I highly doubt anyone is really buying it on games on demand. If I was MS I'd actually bundle it with the Xbox Gold starter packs so that people have a game they can play on XBL Gold straight away.
It's a shame it didn't get the right support from MS. It was basically dumped unfinished on the market with a full price RRP and no advertising a week or so before Halo 3 came out. They did one update and then disbanded the studio and left it to die in oblivion. The game survives with a small group of players who love it.
Managed to get it. Bet it comes up as gold in a few months .
Just posted a thread in the forums about having a shadowrun night soon seeing a lot of you now have the game.
Darn missed it :/
Thanks got it!
