mkreku Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Apparently the world has gone mad. Midway has released the full game Area 51 for download: http://www.gamershell.com/news_61608.html THQ has released the full game Full Spectrum Warrior for download: http://www.gamershell.com/news_61602.html Now, I know Full Spectrum Warrior is kind of a tactical game so I'm not really interested. But did anyone try Area 51? Is it worth downloading? Yes, I am so lazy I'd rather ask here first instead of just downloading it and installing it Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

mkreku Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 I also noticed that Midway has released The Suffering as a full game download: http://www.gamershell.com/download_33314.shtml Very generous, I must say. The graphics may suck a little in The Suffering, but it's a decent game nonetheless. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Strix Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Nope, although I'll certainly try them out now that they're free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am so lazy I'd rather ask here first instead of just downloading it and installing it FSW is certainly a different experiance than most other games. I beat it once along time ago and don't see the benefit of doing it again. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Morgoth Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Well, both games are crap so I wouldn't even bother with these even if they're for free. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath of Dagon Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 FSW is a great game, if you like strategy and shooters, although it's not a shooter. Play it on hard difficulty, or it may get a bit repetitive. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity."

Nick_i_am Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Yeah, Full Spectrum is pretty interesting, but an aquired taste. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Nightshade Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Well, both games are crap so I wouldn't even bother with these even if they're for free. Well free crap is better than crap you have to pay for -and that's mainly what I'm seeing on store shelves at the moment- so I think I'll take my chances. "Geez.

J.E. Sawyer Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 FSW isn't crap. It's executed very well for its purpose, which was a training aid for army squad leaders to understand suppression and flanking. It becomes very repetitive over time because of that reason, but it was fundamentally designed to hammer home that basic concept. twitter tyme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I didn't know Midway also released Rise & Fall for free. That's an RTS set in ancient times, developed from Stainless Steel (Empire Earth). I'm gonna download that one... Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath of Dagon Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 FSW isn't crap.

It becomes very repetitive over time because of that reason, but it was fundamentally designed to hammer home that basic concept. That's how it started out, but the commercial version is quite different. The original training version can still be unlocked with a cheat code. The commercial version is basically a series of situational puzzles, and on hard difficulty I didn't find it repetitive, because the puzzles get harder and harder.
