Xbox 'Games with Gold' for September includes Halo: Reach and more
A whole new slate of Games with Gold for Xbox One and Xbox 360 have been revealed, including Bungie's final installment of the Halo series.
Microsoft is venturing into the fall season with a trio of new Games with Gold titles for the month of September.
September 1 will see Super Time Force hit Xbox One as a free download. Those that haven't made the jump to the next-gen console will be able to download Monaco: What's Yours is Mine for their Xbox 360. Crimson Dragon, one of last month's offerings, will remain free on Xbox One for the next month, as well. Starting September 16, Halo fans can get their hands on Halo: Reach, when it joins the Games with Gold lineup on Xbox 360.
Super Time Force is a novel take on the run-and-gun shooter, as indicated in our review, and recently had its console exclusivity expire when it hit PC earlier this week. Monaco is an incredibly fun heisting experience, especially when playing with friends. Our review for that is available, as well. However, don't expect it to include any of the follow-up DLC that released for the PC version. Finally, Halo: Reach represents Bungie's swansong from the series and from Microsoft in what many fans consider to be the peak for the Halo series, coincidentally being offered one week after their first post-Halo project, Destiny, hits stores.

It was pretty well received certainly far better than Halo 4 if that Reddit thread with user data is any indication.
-
Can't speak for the multi but it was the best SP Halo I've played.
-
I agree with that statement. I think the story, campaign, multiplayer, graphics, everything, were just top-notch and impressive from a technical and gameplay standpoint. it's the best halo game next to 1, and due to the age of 1 it stands as the current best.

I don't know about half of those things being 'top-notch'. The story was a lore rape, and full of inexplicable events. The multiplayer was sub-par at best. Graphically the game was very well done, and the over SP gameplay was pretty good. But overall for the Halo series there is no clear 'number 1'. Each game did things better than other installments. 1 was the best for being the introduction to the series and maintaining that air of mystery and the sense of the unknown throughout the entire game. 2 told a hell of a good story and is tied with 3 for being the series' peak of multiplayer, and ODST had arguably the best Halo campaign of the entire series. Reach and 4 look the best graphically. Reach may have been the peak for a lot of casual and intermediate fans, but for the more devoted following Bungie accrued, it was nowhere near the top.

That's pretty much true. Halo 4 was alright but for me a weird direction for the series. ODST was another favorite for it's SP and also Firefight.

I didn't hate 4 but I really disliked the changes they made to how you acquire power weapons and all the load out crap. One of my favorite parts of MP in previous Halo games was how you would fight around parts of the map where power weapons spawned to try and grab them first. That entire dynamic was mostly lost in Halo 4. I was still having fun playing KOTH because that mode king of replicates that same feeling but once they removed that game type like a month after the game came out I quit and never touched the game again.

Well, only two games for me next month. I already own Reach from that disc format testing a couple of years back and they gifted everyone the digital copy after the test disc couldn't be updated.
All I can say, is I'm shocked they still haven't shoved LocoCycle down the Xbox One owner's throats. -

I'll take Super Time Force and Monaco! Thanks.

Doubling down on a free game like 3 months in. I hope they aren't getting a flat tire already on this. I am looking forward to Time Force though.

Yup. Go here: http://www.xbox.com/en-AU/Live/games-with-gold/home
Login with your Xbox Live user ID, follow the links on the game that matters, and "purchase" it for free.
You should get a confirmation prompt indicating the price is free if you're a gold member. And for me, the moment I turn my 360 on, it immediately starts downloading (I leave it off at the wall for power reasons).-

This implies no - it seems it can download while off (but obviously not at the wall).
