GoG.com are offering some great deals for nostalgia-hungry PC gamers this Christmas. First of all, the Might and Magic pack can be purchased for the measly sum of twenty of your so-called “Dollars”. Not bad for four games that are both good and old. Secondly, the first two Tex Murphy games, in which you play [...]

In a short four weeks after its release, Battlefield Heroes has managed to get one million players, which isn’t surprising, considering the positive impressions of the game during the beta. EA & DICE’s stylistic Battlefield sequel is also free, which I can only assume helped to entice said one million players. If you still haven’t [...]

Bethesda have today released the second of the Elder Scrolls series as a free download to all. The game, as with all of the Elder Scrolls series, is set in a huge fantasy land, with the two provinces in Daggerfall being Hammerfell and High Rock, the homes of the Redguards and Bretons. Old games becoming [...]

Warrior Epic is the first RPG to reward players for letting their created characters die.  Having your created character bite the dust brings one of two benefits: you can either infuse the dead character’s soul into a weapon or one of your living characters can carry their spirit and use it as a powerful spell. [...]

Here’s something strange: Microsoft’s decided to publish a game on Xbox Live Arcade- for free! I already checked, it’s not April 1st. Microsoft, in all of their infinite wisdom, has announced that when 1 vs. 100 hits Xbox Live Arcade this Spring, it will be free for all Gold members. I assume this has something [...]

That’s right folks, this weekend you can play on Halo 3′s multiplayer totally free.

So, if you’re one of the few people who [...]

Savage 2: A Tortured Soul, S2 Games’ multiplayer battlefield game, is now free (as in beer). Just download the game, create an account, and you’re off. Why bother, though? Well, it’s a pretty well-received game, especially by users. The main reason, though, is the main gameplay mechanic- one player on each team acts as a [...]

Ironically enough, Left 4 Dead isn’t showing any signs of dying- Shacknews reports that Valve are planning a big announcement for their (awesome) zombie shooter. In true Valve style, the announcement has been postponed, as it was set for a pre-Christmas reveal. Still, Valve writer Chet Faliszek certainly didn’t skimp on the details. The announcement [...]

Tabula Rasa, Richard Garriott’s space-centred MMO, is now totally free-to-play. It seems a little too good to be true, but remember that the failed MMO is set to close down completely on 28 February 2009, due to lack of support (i.e. nobody is playing the damn thing). Returning players can just log back in, and [...]

Criterion haven’t finished with the free stuff, after all. The PC version of the acclaimed racer Burnout Paradise, due for release in February 2009, will be released completely free for a trial period (although there is no word on how long you’ll be able to play). Not happy with a demo, Criterion have decided that [...]

Time to stir up some more patriotism! The Suffering: Ties That Bind, Rise & Fall: Civilization at War and Area 51 — a rather inspired choice — all up for grabs as the US Air Force dangles the carrot.

Fans who love to play Funcom’s futuristic MMO Anarchy Online but don’t want to pay for it will be glad to hear that the game will remain free for at least another year.
