Last week’s biggest story in the videogames industry was undoubtedly the unfortunate demise of THQ. Follow the auctioning of the publisher’s assets Crytek GmbH adopted the full intellectual property (IP) rights for the Homefront franchise, for which the developer was already working on the official sequel. Since the purchase, Crytek has gone on record to state that the development has not been affected by the external issues.

Last week game dev Steve Thornton took to Twitter to ask: fellow devs, have you ever slipped something into a game you're working on that's just for you? The replies are well worth a read.
Deep Silver and Humble Bundle are currently offering the first Homefront game for free. This offer will last for the next 48 hours, so be sure to visit its Humble Bundle page in order to acquire your free copy.
get it! the single player is excellent and intense and the MP is pretty fun, too.
Ehh, PS4 needs these deals too, or consoles in general we always get discounts rarely free stuff that's REALLY free (games with gold / psplus isn't free)
Good, can't wait to see what Crytek can do with Homefront
Are the homefront servers still up ???
Have fun enjoy it :)! It's a good MP game too bad the budget for it was low...
