Xbox Live Games with Gold free games November 2015 predictions: Gamers hoping Microsoft won't do a repeat of last year's November release; still calling for major AAA release

(MICROSOFT)

November is almost upon us and so are new Xbox Live Games with Gold. Even without official word yet from Microsoft as to which games are coming free for the Xbox 360 and One, many gaming sites have already started dishing out speculations about free games.

The Internet is full of buzz about next month's Xbox Live Games with Gold. Product Reviews says it's going to be a massive one, given the holidays are always when Xbox gets the most great content versus the previous months. November will also be the month that backwards compatibility for Xbox One arrives, opening up more games for owners of the latest generation Xbox.

There have been not much predictions as to what Microsoft might offer its Xbox Live Gold subscribers in November. But most sites are hoping that the Redmond-based company won't do a repeat of November 2014. Despite high hopes then, gamers were massively disappointed when two of the free games for Xbox Live Games with Gold turned out to be "Volgarr the Viking" and "Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise." Though both very good games, subscribers were really hoping for a huge AAA title. And they still are for this year and hopefully, they will no longer be disappointed.

With Amidst all these speculations, one thing is sure: "The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season" will be available free until November 15 for all Xbox Gold members. The game, which originally retails for $24.99, was made available free starting Oct. 16.

"The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season" has five parts in it, telling a story that exists in the same universe as the original "The Walking Dead" comic books and AMC TV series by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard. Game developer Telltale Games says of the game, "Play as Lee Everett, a convicted criminal who has been given a second chance at life in a world devastated by the undead. With corpses returning to life and survivors stopping at nothing to maintain their own safety, protecting an orphaned girl named Clementine may offer him redemption in a world gone to hell."

Stay tuned for more predictions and news for November's free games on Xbox Live Games with Gold.
