Steam/GOG etc - Free Stuff (or very, very cheap)

I've heard good things about KOTOR ...

If you wouldn't mind I'd like to give it a look, but wouldn't buy it normally (with my very limited budget).

Thanks very much.

Rug.

P.S. If someone else is desperate for it, then I'll defer politely to them...

Heard good things about KOTOR as well. By the way, there's a fan-made retexture patch for that AND a community bug-patch that fixes some issues, here and there, AFAIK.

SWBFII and SW:EaW are two "must have" titles in anyone's stable of "awesome fun games."

Check the Steam SWBFII forums and guides for fixes for the "Sound Glitch" and for multiplayer through third-party apps. (Basically, they have a front-end and re-direct the old Gamespy IP using a substitute hosts file.) Also, if you have an AMD-based card, you may need to check the guides/forums for fixes if you run into texture glitches.

There's a huge number of mods/maps for SWBFII, as well. To be honest, with all the mods out there and neat stuff one can load up, it's one of the best darn arcadish FPS games out there, bar none.

SW:EaW is tons of awesome, well polished and a really nice game. There are some great mods out there, too, and some of them can really push one's vid-card and the capabilities of that game. (Some are a bit overdone, IMO.) Unmodded, it's still one of the best Strategic RTS games out there. Modded, it's even more. There's also multiplayer with that, but it's not really popular, though people still post asking for others to play. (The MP game is very, very, different from the standard single-player, with a greatly expanded "RTS" game than the standard experience.

There is also flawless widescreen a program that allows you to play old games (like Kotor) in 1080p.

Btw if we should not have enough Kotor keys for the people who want one I will offer to organise more.

It really is that great of a game. Just do yourself a favour and go in as blind as possiable and avoid reading anything up.

(I hope you can forgive my fanboy hype for Kotor but it is my favourite video game. Even my profile picture shows a character from the game.)

LOL i'm going to DL and play KOTOR again now!

I've two keys gathering dust here, got them for backing the upcoming System Shock remake. So if someone's interested in these classics, I'd happily share:

System Shock: Enhanced Edition
System Shock 2

Both are taken.

I'm going to throw this in here, even though it's neither from steam or a game, but it is free software. I've been using this software for quite some time now to rip any of the DVD's I buy, and it has never let me down, whereas some others have. They are only giving away 500 copies free each day, so of you don't get it one day, try again the next.

It looks like Starcraft is free now.

To be fair I think you would be better off just getting Star Craft 2 starter edition (free) and install the mass recall mod.

The give-away is actually right here at Ars Technica. You don't have to have an account with them but you do need a valid email address, which when you enter it they send you a link to GOG with the game code already entered, you just need to accept it. it is a time limited offer, just under 24 hours left on it from the time of this posting.

Not free but GOG has Star Wars sale, just got Empire at War Gold for 4 Euro as I lost my discs!
