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.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
