October’s free Xbox 360 Games with Gold: Halo 3 and Might & Magic Clash of Heroes

Earlier this month, Xbox LIVE product manager Pav Bhardwaj promised "some great games coming up" in the few months that remain in Microsoft's Games with Gold promotion. So with that, we turn our attention to October's giveaways which Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb today revealing two new free games: Might & Magic Clash of Heroes and Halo 3.

Both games are normally valued at $14.99, and will be free for a portion of next month. Might & Magic Clash of Heroes will be free for Xbox LIVE Gold Members first — beginning tomorrow and running through October 15th. Halo 3 will be free beginning on October 16th.

While Halo 3 is undoubtedly a step up from what has been offered these past few months, I'm hard-pressed to say there's many Xbox 360 owners who have yet to play it. Then again, as Pav mentioned, the goal with Games with Gold is to offer gamers "their classic games back."

Are you happy with October's offerings?
