Halo 3 Joins Clash Of Heroes For October's Xbox Live Games With Gold
Last week, we shared news that Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes is the first of October's free Games with Gold. Today we know that Halo 3 is rounding out the month.
From October 1 through 15, you can download Clash of Heroes at no cost if you're an Xbox Live Gold subscriber. From October 16 through 31, it's Halo 3. If you happened to miss 2007's Halo 3 (or the three main series titles since then), this seems like a good time to put on the Mjolnir armor.

Our Take
If it weren't for PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection, Microsoft's two games per month would be unequivocally heralded as a great offer. Unfortunately, when one of those titles is six years old, the inevitable comparisons to Sony's five games per month and titles that are far more recent (Battlefield 3, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Saints Row: The Third) aren't flattering.
People are going to take that opportunity to complain about getting something for free. That isn't good for gamers or Microsoft.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
