Mark your calendars for July 16 – Ubisoft’s critically-acclaimed “Assassin’s Creed II” will be the next game featured in the Xbox Live “Games with Gold” program. Normally 1600 Microsoft Points, “Assassin’s Creed II” can be downloaded on Xbox 360 for free by Xbox Live Gold members between July 16 and July 31. After you download it, it is yours to keep.

And, make sure you don’t miss the current “Games with Gold” game – Gold members can download “Defense Grid: The Awakening” for free until July 15.

As a special thanks to the Xbox Live Gold community, the “Games with Gold” program gives Xbox Live Gold members two free games to keep each month. “Defense Grid: The Awakening” and “Assassin’s Creed II” were the first pair of games announced for the month of July. And, “Fable 3” was a special bonus game available in June. We’ll have more details about upcoming additional titles in the near future.
