#DRAGON NEST MOD PET COVER LOVELY WINNI FREE#
There are plenty more free games on Prime and Steam I could have claimed but didn't. I do at least limit myself to things I might have a use for some day. That's the power of free,though, isn't it? I'll take things for nothing even when I don't really have any immediate use for them. I mean, I've been aware of Gloria Victis for years but I've never felt the need to find out anything about it, much less play it. I also just snatched a free Steam key from MassivelyOP for Gloria Victis but I don't think I'll be playing that before I finish Tunguska. It would be great if I had nothing better to do but I have New World, now, don't I? A new mmorpg trumps a new point and click adventure any day. I assume that means clicking on pictures rather than Wallace with his kit off. You mean it's three games long?! We'll be here 'til Easter!Īnd when am I going to find time to play the four Wallace and Gromit games I just claimed? Oh, right, did I not mention those? Four more point and click adventures, although " graphic" ones this time. This one doesn't seem to have a subtitle and the description tells me absolutely nothing other than it appears to continue the story from Tunguska. There seem to be at least three in the Secret Files series, the two I took last month and a third that arrived in the October bundle. Since, you know, we are German and all." Apart from the German thing, that puts it right in my wheelhouse (Ah, wheelhouse! Just the sort of location you get in one of these games!) The elevator pitch must have been " You know that Broken Sword series? We thought we'd do it again only with Germans. The plot and the puzzles are engaging enough to make up for it and the graphics are lovely. I'm enjoying it well enough even though both the voice acting and the translation (from the original German) are a little awkward. I was expecting to have finished it and posted about it by now but it's just going on and on and on. I love point and click adventures but they do take up a lot of time. I think I have enough for the whole winter now, should we get snowed in. Nothing to do with Amazon but on a related note, last week I also grabbed a couple of free games from Steam: Syberia 1 and 2. In case I'd forgotten what Indy looked like (I hadn't.) there he is, the real one, staring at me from the cover of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, which was also in September's selection, along with The Secret of Monkey Island and Sam and Max Hit the Road. Still none the wiser but there's a guy in the cover picture who looks like Indiana Jones so I'm guessing that's a clue. I googled it and it means something like " Pure of Heart". The second is called Puritas Cordis, which meant absolutely nothing to me, even though I did Latin at school. You can probably guess what that's about. The other two were both part of something called the Secret Files. One was Unmemory, which I posted about a couple of weeks back. I claimed several, downloaded three and actually played two of them. The free games that come with Amazon Prime vary in interest for me month by month but last month's's pick was pretty sweet. This would be a better anecdote if I'd taken a screenshot, too. Close enough I knew what he meant, anyway. It would have made for a better story if any of the items had included a screenshot of the guy I saw on launch day running around Monarch's Bluff on Zuvendis with the nameplate Jez Befos. Of course, to be any use, that kind of lockout actually has to work. Amazon have just taken the trouble to enforce it pro-actively. A number of news outlets seemed intrigued, even outraged, that Amazon devs had thought to block the uber-boss's name and various versions of it at Character Creation.Ĭlearly those people have never played an mmorpg before or they'd know almost all of them have a No Famous Names clause somewhere in the EULA. Speaking of Mr Bezos, I saw several news stories about him and the game today or, rather, the same story several times. Oh, Jeff, have you not blessed us enough already with your wondrous New World? I wonder if he plays? Or even knows the game exists as anything other than a footnote in his gigantic ledger of All The Money?
