30 commercial games released for free
Fallout, King’s Quest, Bonk, and more. Download the best titles that companies gave away! Here’s a quote from Games Radar:
We like free stuff. That’s why we posted links to download and play 365 free games so you could have a decent game to play for every day of the year, free of charge. Unfortunately, GamesRadar has yet to wrestle the most formidable type of free games into submission so that they can be preserved in their proper list form for eternity. We’re talking about the free games that were good enough to sell, important enough to review, and memorable enough to warrant a second play through years later.
Luckily, we’ve somehow managed to sort through over a hundred previously-for-sale titles that you can now play for free, and synthesized our list down to just the essential games you’d still want to play. Most of them look dated, for sure, but whether you’re looking for some decent side-scrolling action, nostalgic hits from the golden age of adventure, classic titles of interest, or even MMORPGs, you’re bound to find something in the following pages.
Impulse: 5% off anything!
TQIH-VJAE-KTSK
Aliens vs Predator: Demo available!
The demo is out now, get it cause Steam will be down today for maintenance.
The Clock Is Ticking
Microsoft has exactly 27 days, 6 hours, 14 minutes and 34 seconds while I write this. 27 days for what you say? Well you probably heard about We Want Live group. They sent a letter to Microsoft and gave them 30 days to respond to their demands for the XboX Live service in Poland (Games For Windows Live too I guess). If your country doesn’t have Live too simply go to their website and see what you can do for you country!
Will Microsoft have the balls to answer? We will find out soon.
GOG: Activision games available!
OK here it is – the big secret turned out to be Activision games on GOG.
You can buy two games for now: Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers or Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura for 6 bucks each! And more games are coming soon.
Good Old Games: Secret Countdown
What will be revealed in few hours on GOG? Is it a new game? New publisher joining their catalog? Local currency system? We will find out very soon!
GTA: Chinatown Wars not available worldwide
Rockstar Games just released GTA Chinatown Wars for the iPhone but it turns out that it’s not available in all Apple app stores. It’s been 4 days since the most of the world can get it but still nothing in Switzerland, Mexico, New Zealand, Japan and many other countries.
Most of you will probably say that “it’s only 4 days”, true, but remember what Valve CEO, Gabe Newell said few months ago about worldwide availability and localization – games that are released differently around the world are simply pirated on the first release date and everyone gets them anyway.
Some users contacted us and told us they contacted Apple but they gave them the standard rsponse (to request an app with a form on the website). However Rockstar Games didn’t respond at all (through Rockstar’s support, Facebook, Twitter etc).
And developers/publishers are surprised their games are being pirated?
Microsoft has 30 days to answer Polish players
Microsoft encouraged Polish players to buy original games (without multiplayer support and Live features) and stop modding their consoles. XboX players who are responsible for the revolt-ish website contacted Microsoft Poland and…
Here’s what the kontrakcja.pl site owner posted on their site (translated freely by me):
“We’re after talking to Microsoft Poland. (…) We live, we are well and continue to attack! It turns out (which was already a little known, but now we know for 100%), Microsoft Poland has nothing to say on the presence of the Live in Poland. Well ok, since they do not someone else decides, and now to that “someone” will turn.
How do we do it? First of all – along with Microsoft Poland. They promised to help players find the right contact! In few days we’ll put a set of materials directed to the people actually responsible for the Live and it’s absence and screwing players.
For the first time, we the players will create a raport. From the moment we pass the materials concerning Live absence in Poland to Microsoft, they will have 30 days to respond. Exactly after the 30 days we will see if Microsoft’s Poland word is worth anything, as well as Redmond to see what they have to say. Give them a chance – if the response is poor we won’t get anything at all then we will take this action to a next level. We must exhaust all possibilities and that’s what we do.
Also we have to go and change the graphic layout, English version of the site (if we leave the topic to the world, we must speak their language, otherwise they won’t understand), and finally WeWantLive.com address.
What else is going to change? Nothing! We want to continue what you wanted – Live in Poland, we still have the same arguments (see section “Important Questions”). (…)”
I can’t wait to see how it all turns out! :-) If you want Live in your country as well simply contact those people and try to contact Microsoft too.
Steam Alternatives: Green Man Gaming
Green Man Gaming, a company located in the United Kingdom, is about to launch a digital download store for the PC with a difference, claiming its store will be able to offer "pre-owned" digital sales. "Previously the minute you had paid and downloaded your game it had no resale value", says Gian Luzio, Green Man’s COO. "This is extremely expensive for the gamer and does not encourage the consumer to try new genres or franchises. Our leading edge technology gives downloaded games a value that gamers can trade-in at any time".
You’re probably asking yourself? "how will this work", the COO says "We will pay significant royalties to the publisher each time the game is traded in perpetuity".
And the follow-up questions, like "how much will pre-owned games cost?" and "who’s going to determine the value of trade-ins?", sadly those are going to have to wait until Green Man launches sometime around March.
Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition with co-op mode
The Ultimate Edition of Zeno Clash was ported from Orange Box engine to the Left 4 Dead-ish engine and it should be working a little bit smoother on the XboX 360. Unfortunately the Source engine is limiting the Ace Team in making the PlayStation 3 version possible.
The game is going to have a cooperative mode, a bunch of new attack moves, enemies and weapons. The very well known Tower Challenge mode from the Steam version of the game is going to have a 2 player mode so it should be a little more interesting.
Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition is scheduled to come out on XboX Live Arcade in March 2010.
