pepsihabbit Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Get Area 51, The Suffering and Rise & Fall Civilizations at War completely free of charge. Air Force Sponsored Games Free = Good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacon Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) Awesome! Time to free up some disk space! EDIT: I thought these were just going to be some low budget meteocre games that the Air Force could compensate for releasing thier game free, but Area 51 is really good. Also, for those who use download managers, Area 51 is available at bigdownload.com. Their servers allow multiple connections and with Bitcomet I'm really maxing out my connection.

Xtreme2damax Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Even for free I would avoid The Suffering Ties That Bind, I bought that game and it's so riddled with bugs that make it almost impossible to progress in the game. To top it off, the lazy SOB developers/publishers didn't bother to release any patches for it at all, not to mention the retail version is riddled with Starforce crap, I'm not sure about the free versions they are offering for download. Area 51 isn't too bad, never played Rise and Fall:Civilizations at War.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trag3dy Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 is this for the US only? Games are actually hosted on filefront it looks like so probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.tony Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'm guessing they'd have ads from the Air Force in them or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trag3dy Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'm guessing they'd have ads from the Air Force in them or something? On the suffering filefront page: Short Description Midway’s classic PC shooter, The Suffering, is now available to download and play for FREE as an ad supported game. This is a full version with no time expiration sponsored by the US Air Force. Doesn't mention anything about copyright protection though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothuman Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I've downloaded Area51, played it and finished it a week ago. And I didn't know the voice of the main character (i.e. you) is David Duchovny. Anyway, it's a good little fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewaaz Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 OMG is it just me, or are those games totally lame? :/ It seems like the Air Force is trying to tap nerdcore gamers, and it's so offpoint it's scary... I mean the army releasing a game about conspiracies and Area 51? lol I dunno maybe I'm being too cynical... but yeh I saw that page with the three titles displayed and I laughed. It just smacks of some old recruitment firm trying to come up with 'cool' ways to entice today's youth (N) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbiotic Hat Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Area 51 was waaaay under rated. I highly recommend you play it. It's worth the free download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted October 26, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 26, 2008 Out of the three games, Area 51 is the best. It came out in April '05 and it's pretty fun. The story is quite cool too. And you know what's great about it? The main character is voiced by none other than David Duchovny himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
