Microids are giving away both Syberia 1 & 2 to hype up a forth sequel I had no idea was in-coming.

Pretty decent Adventure games. Used to be some of the prettiest in the whole genera, and I've heard some good things.

Heard some mixed things, but it's a very pretty little sports game. Definitively not flawless by any means, but there's some cool design stuff and locals in this game.

Free over on Uplay until the 23th. Just open the client, and there should be a pop-up near the top.

I normally don't write about games where you need to jump through hoops to get games, I find it rather scummy...

Going to make an exception in this case, since this is one of those barely remembered classics that just got passed over in the pre-Internet age, and I have a lot of respect for Rebelion the studio. They're... odd, and generally do their own thing. A refreshing rarity for a AA studio their size.

Pretty decent racer from what I've heard.

The Humble page is being tanked right now from interest, and it's 'while supplies last,' so be on your toes if you want this game.

Basically, what if Ikaruga was a platformer?

IE, you have a Dark mode and a Light mode, and are immune against each element while using it, but need to be off the opposite element to damage enemies.

Been on my radar for a bit, so color me (badabom, tish ) intrigued.

Walking sim, horror hybrid. Got some decent reviews back in the day, but it's aged a bit badly in parts.

(Read: it's a walking sim.)

Link. Offer valid until the forth.

Link.

Doubt this one needs much of an introduction. The original was the one game that exploded into our hearts like a blood sausage, and went on to inspire the entire Fallout series.

Haven't played #2 myself, but I've heard good things.

Offer valid for ~24 hours from posting this.

Link.

4 player party game where you steal the other players heads. Just launched this November, too.

Artstyle is pretty cool, if nothing else.

Just remember: No LARP-ing!

Don't think I've heard of this one, but looks like a decent FPS.

Link.

Offer valid for the next 48-ish hours or so, so nab it quick if it looks like your type of thing.

Heard really good things about this one!

Short version: Left 4 Dead, but against rat people in a fantasy setting, instead of zombies.

Offer valid until the 7th.

Thanks to https://www.fimfiction.net/user/199165/ZeroOneInFinn for the info.

Quick update, guys. Unusual Things (my site) has a new page to check out: The Writing Samples page! There all excerpts posted to the site as well as other free fiction write-ups have been collected and linked for your browsing and reading pleasure, hopefully making it just one step easier for you guys to get a taste of my work. Currently, you can read both an excerpt and a chapter from Unusual Events: A "Short" Story Collection, as well as Green Apocalypse, a short bit of

Link.

That's both The Dark Descent and A Machine For Pigs, no matter which game's page you click 'install' on.

One of those a bit vague 'for a limited time' type offers, so be sure to nab 'em quick if horror games your thing.

Yes, the original and fabled Fallout. THAT Fallout.

In honor of the game and franchise being 20 today (!), you can go nab it on Steam free of charge for the next 24 hours or so, and it'll be your's for the keeping.

Souls-like, with Norse myth, something. Haven't played it, but it looks neat.

Link.

Also on GoG, if that's more your thing.

Offer apparently lasts the weekend out, so grab it while it lasts.

If you even mildly like adventure games, get this one! NOW!

How awesome is this game? Well, check out the intro.

Yes, that is Christopher Lloyd playing an animator.

Getting chewed out by his boss, Ben Stein.

Apparently it's free due to a sequel out soon, so can't have been that bad.

Not quite sure about that art-style, and it does seem almost blatantly inspired by Lone Survivor... but it also does seem to have some creepy, surreal scares to it if the trailer's anything to go by.

Big Brother sim Orwell is free for the next 24-ish hours.

Link.

Haven't played it myself, but I've heard good things, so be sure to check it out if it sounds like your type of thing.

Never played this one, but man, I've heard people gush for years and years about this series!

(Terribly sorry about the fuzzy stamp quality of the trailer. Was what I could find on short notice before bed.)

So highly recommended if you like your FPSs on the silly, hoard side a la Painkiller or the earlier Dooms.
