The Great Game Giveaway: Tuesday Edition


ShadySands

Recommended Posts

I kinda gave up trying to give people stuff on this forum :)

 

I mean, when the games that aren't immediately taken are just the ones that nobody around here has ever heard of, how can you blame us? The ones people have heard of (...and have heard of them for not being terrible) usually get taken in like less than 24 hours...I don't want to take a game I don't think I'm ever gonna at least try, so I don't. I'm sure others feel the same. :)

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Dunno, I would have thought the Star Wars games, the Sega pack and Tropico 5 at least would attract someone and fit the bill for being heard of, at very least. Some might even say they're good games. I suspect the problem there is that everyone who wants them already has them, or won't take them due to thinking gabe is the devil and steam his little hell on earth, or runs out of impetus before reaching the bottom of the list.

 

If you want a suggestion for lesser known but good games I'd suggest Quadriga (roman charioteering simulator, here's a very good write up by Tim Stone, the one genuinely great bit of RPS who liked it so much he reviewed it twice) or Ultimate General Gettysburg for a sort of Total War approach to, well, Gettysburg. It's a little rough around the edges still but it's certainly worth free no money down.

I definitely recommend Ultimate General Gettysburg.  Playing as the Confederacy is really tough.  You're outnumbered, outgunned and the Union has a far better position.

Hi, I haven't been on these forums since PoE was released and even back then never left a comment, but now... What happened here? Forum looks emptier than a FO1.

Only 2 topics in General discussion and even they are dead and dated? Did everyone just left?

Nah. I would say it's just summer time. Most of us have probable better things to do most of the time. With incomming release of Tyranny it will be frequented as usual again.

Given that they mentioned specifically "General Discussion", a name of one of the sections for the PoE subforums, I think they were talking just about those PoE subforums.

How do people end up with so many spare codes?... =]

 

Sadly I either don't know the titles or have them already (guilty of having a long list of games from Steam and Gog that collects dust)

Oh hi. Sorry, I didn't see you there

 

Since you're here already I just so happen to have an extra copy of Civ VI that I'd be willing to give you. Not for free mind you but in exchange for something else. I hope I'm not asking for too much but maybe I am, I dunno.

 

Anyway, I'll give you this game if you agree to write up an in depth review of your first few days playing it. Just circle yes or no... or PM me
