I would if they were better games. Or not so much better, but at least newer. Not really feeling this list at all. I will try Injustice since I skipped that a long time ago.

SteamPowered3495d ago

Free game is a free game. I love trine 2 and injustice.

PlayableGamez3495d ago

These games are not even bad. Plus, their free. Why are you acting like you have to buy them? They are free games.

3-4-53495d ago

Awesomenauts, Company of Heroes 2 & X-Com are all really good games.

Sly-Lupin3495d ago

I've heard nothing but bad things about CoH2.

DoctorJones3495d ago

'I've heard nothing but bad things about CoH2. '

It's got a metascore of 80, and you've heard nothing but bad things about it?

I've got it and it's a great game.

thisismyaccount3495d ago

So free only during this next upcoming weekend? After that > gotta pay for´em, gotcha.

DoctorJones3495d ago

Yes they're free during the weekend, funnily enough that's why it's called 'Free Weekend'.

And you don't have to pay after, only if you buy the game. It's not rocket science, it's easy to understand.

pwnsause_returns3495d ago

company of heroes 2? mmhhh...welp there goes my weekend...

solar3495d ago

I recommend Killing Floor with mates. So much fun is had

Ace Killa 083495d ago (Edited 3495d ago )

Whoops added the list but ^^^ beat me to it.

Also FYI XCOM can already be owned for free if you go here - https://goldenjoysticks.gre...

Honestly if I knew this would have been free I wouldn't done the voting :/

Last also... FFFUUUU just bought company of hero's 2

sungam3d3495d ago (Edited 3495d ago )

Awesome! Thanks for the link mate +1 bubble.

Plus the games are not free apparently.
They are free to play over the weekend only, then you can buy them at super cheap rates.

Ace Killa 083495d ago

yeah I just noticed that today.

So cheers for anyone who wants a free copy of XCOM after the weekend.

SteamPowered3495d ago

Amazing how Steam does so much with no subscription fee.

Ashlen3495d ago (Edited 3495d ago )

Or, is it amazing how little you get from other companies who do charge a fee?

SteamPowered3495d ago

Definitely a combination of the two. Steam constantly adds more and more with family sharing, game stream, etc and just stealth-ninja releases them. No big announcements or spewing hype for weeks on end.
The quiet dignity of Steam.

Sly-Lupin3495d ago

I know, right? It's not like Steam has got a virtual-monopoly on the PC platform, right? They're surely doing stuff like this purely out of the goodness of their collective hearts.

CervantesPR13495d ago

nothing interesting for me the most interesting was payday 2 and that was free on PS+ a while back

Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected

thorstein14d ago

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

fsfsxii13d ago

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo13d ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows9013d ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel198913d ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

Nooderus13d ago

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha13d ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno13d ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan13d ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno13d ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life198113d ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn66913d ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life198113d ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.
