Thanks a lot for posting this, downloaded it, cool playing it again. Can't believe it's been six years almost. Damn time passing is a sad thing :cry:

 

Still looks good, though definitely much clunkier than DS3, especially. Isaac is such a badass in DS3, they did a good job in showing how he transformed from mechanic dude to slay fifty monsters an hour dude.

Download Free AAA Computer Games From EA Origin's "On The House"
 

n5pt7v3tqsj11nrqbr3y.png

 

Windows: Electronic Arts has launched a new initiative called "On The House" which lets you download full-version PC games for free.

 

As far as we can tell, there is no catch here. All you need is an EA Origin account and the software installed on your Windows computer (okay, for some, that is the catch). Every month, EA will be giving away a new game to download to your hard drive for free, and the first one on offer is Dead Space, which expires on May 8.

 

There are some great resources for PC games and websites to get fantastic deals, but nothing beats free, right?

Am I the only one that liked DS2 more than the first?

Nope.  The first was very...singular in environments from beginning to end for obvious reasons.  2 had a lot more to it.

 

I haven't finished 3 yet...not as fond of it but don't hate it.  I'll go back to it eventually.

Okay - On the House swapped out the original Dead Space for Plants vs. Zombies (not the reboot, which launches next month, but the Game of the Year Edition).  Kinda sensible, since the reboot (PC) does launch next month.  Juust ad it to your account, and it's yours for keeps.

Title changed

 

Think we'll just keep this topic running for the promotion instead of new posts for 1 game per month.

My idea as well, Andrew G - which is why I posted the changeover in this thread.

 

Besides, I like (and use) both Steam AND Origin.

I think mom might like this, heh.

 

Gotta be better than Candy Crush Saga :huh:

And the requirements are in line with other PopCap games of the period - shockingly light (about the same as Candy Crush Saga, to be honest).

 

Consider the other PopCap titles of the period (the original Bejeweled, Zuma Deluxe, etc.); while they all started on Windows, all have made the trip to mobile unchanged (that includes PvZ, by the way).

 

Garden Warfare (though a port) is the first PopCap title for Windows since Bejeweled 3.

I don't care about requirements, her box is a Llano it's more than capable of any casual games heh.

 

I actually might get her some of the Peggle games and such for her bday.

TheExperiment - that is precisely the point. If you have as little as HD3xxx (below Llano-class graphics by quite a bit) NO PopCap game of that period, and very few later PC titles from PopCap - will slow down whatever.  My GTX550Ti - four years dead - is decided overkill, as is any other GPU of the period, let alone anything newer..

You're not, actually am one of those who thought the series got incrementally better and that DS3 was the most well-rounded of the three. DS2 was great once you figured out the last ten minutes...as in what you were supposed to do. Hope EA decide to make it freeware as well so people who enjoyed Dead Space free can also get DS2 (and DS3 eventually) free and legitimately if they can't afford to purchase them.

 

As for Plants vs. Zombies, nice touch but not for me. I am liking this free stuff from EA. Looks like the Sony Instant Game Collection effect is working.

Yes you read that title right: Battlefield 3 is currently free on Origin

 

I do not know how long this offer will last, but it seems as long as you click the Get It Now button while logged into your Origin account it will be added to your account (I didn't have Origin installed, after installing it was already in my game list).

I guess BF3 is replacing PvZ in June?

My bad, didn't notice a thread for this.....though you may want to update the original post and provide this link: https://www.origin.com/en-us/store/free-games/on-the-house

 

So anyone coming in later without reading the latest posts will have a link to the on-the-house promotion page.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By thartist · Posted

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.
