To get Carcassonne you had to sign up for a Korean account some years ago. Certainly not an easy option.

That was Hexic 2, everyone got Carcassonne back in t'day. There'll have been plenty of new 360 owners since, though.

[Deuteros]

That'll be me (a new 360 owner, that is).

According to Wikipedia:

On November 15, 2007, Microsoft made Carcassonne available free of charge for seven days to celebrate the fifth anniversary of their Xbox Live service.

I don't mind paying 400 points for it, though.

But I got Hexic 2 free with my console too without signing up a new account
Undertow was another freebie for some reason.

You'd have got Hexic free, not Hexic 2.

Undertow was free as compensation when LIVE went down for a couple of days.

Carcassonne is still one of my favorite games on XBLA. Even the wife plays it, which is a minor miracle in itself.

[toythatkills]

I've had it for four years (clearly) and still haven't even booted it. Is it n00b friendly?

Yep, but it's better playing it against real people.

On the off chance it was Hexic 2, it was given away free if you signed up for gold one time (choice of three games).


Scumbag Xbox Live Rewards.

Add or buy 2800msp in October. Get 140msp back.

Now have 5010 points active and want to buy stuff.

Ahh yes, sorry it was the original Hexic. It had HD on the end and my memory muddled that up into thinking it was a 2 >.<

Carcassonne is cool little game when you get the hang of it and it's little rules.

[EvilBoris]

Carcassonne is amazing, I love to play and have a good old chat with a friend.

[Lebowski]

If you enjoy the Carcassonne xbox game The board game is so much better, there are all sorts of add ons that really change the game massivley, for example the addition of the thief and king pack gives you extra points for the person with the longest road or largest castle and really adds an extra competitive edge to it. It's a fantastic game and well worth picking up in any format.

[BaronSqwelch]

I thought most people had Carcassonne for free at some point? That's how I got mine anyhoo.

I won it on 1 vs 100...never felt the desire to play it tho. Maybe I should?
Waiting for Crysis to DL at the mo...

It's very easy to play. As I said, even my wife picked it up fast, and she is a non gamer. If I remember correctly there is a tutorial in it too.

The new MS XBLA blog has finally gone live - http://playxbla.com/

Hopefully they'll do a competent job.

The Paranormal table for Pinball FX2 will be free for one week upon its release on the 26th of October.
