I took advantage of Dead Space but found it too difficult to play - the cursor movement was "jagged" and nothing I changed in settings made it feel comfortable. I don't have the best game rig, not even a good one, but I play Left for Dead 2 absolutely fine, so I guess its a bug or something.

 

Awesome that Battlefield 3 is available. Heads up, its 20GB so will probably have to leave it overnight. 

 

I realize that this is a few days late but to fix that you just have to turn off vsync in game and then turn it on through your graphics drivers software.

Okay, just to be sure, is that the "wait for vertical refresh" in the AMD catalyst control center? I've added Dead Space as a new profile and put that to "always on".

^ it's the original one.

 

I imagine they hope you'll enjoy the first one so much that you'll be enticed to purchase the second one.

 

It's still a good game, though have had my fill on X1 with Peggle 2. Which will likely be next months Games with Gold entry for X1 :s

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was added too.

 

And semi related, SimCity (5) now has a 4 hour SP demo available.

Meanwhile in the overnight, Battlefield 4 gives way to Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare for the weekend.  (The Game of the Year version of the original was featured in On the House in June - so the comparing is easy.)

Garden Warfare is super fun, so I recommend anyone who hasn't played it to try it out.

And it's using the Frostbite engine (same engine used by the Battlefield franchise) - should it be called the Warfare Engine?

Bejeweled 3 is the latest On the House game.  It's free until October 28.

I was expecting something better like BF3 from Origin. Well!!!

    • My wish list is: A trailer for Final Fantasy VII part 3 and a proper look at Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Not happening, but I'd kill for would be another game of any genre in the Frostpunk world and another game in the Detroit: Become Human world.
    • I tried Wino-Mail and had the same issue with it that I have with New Outlook: My two centurylink.net email accounts (one of which is my primary email account) refuse to work with either one, and sometimes refuse to even log in, even though ALL the relevant information is accurate. Thunderbird does not have this problem, so I'll stick with what works, thank you.
    • For me it has everything feature wise that I want. But boy the app sucks big time. This and Teams. Ever since they made the transition to WebView it has been slow AF. I mostly use both apps in the browser now because of too much memory being used by these 2 apps. Hoping that native versions are being worked upon.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11 by Taras Buria The May 2026 Steam Hardware & Software Survey results are now available on the official Steam website, showing Windows 11's continuous growth among the gaming audience. As of early June 2026, nearly 70% of all participants reported having a Windows 11-powered PC, while Windows 10's market share is steadily declining. According to Valve, in May 2026, Windows 11 increased its market share to 69.76% (+2.02 points), while Windows 10 dropped to 23.99% (-1.64 points). 64-bit Windows 7 is still showing up in Valve's reports, and apparently, about 0.07% of all survey participants still use the 17-year-old operating system. Valve no longer updates its client for Windows 7, but it still can access the platform, so the Windows 7 holdouts can stay away from newer Windows versions. Overall, 93.85% of all users run Windows (+0.38 points), while Linux is second with 3.99% (-0.53 points). macOS is third with at 2.16% (+0.15 points). The most popular Linux flavor is Arch Linux (0.35%), while macOS 26.4.1 is currently the dominant macOS release. On the hardware side, the most popular picks include an Intel processor (53.94% against AMD's 46.06%) with six cores (28.02%, -0.6 points), 16 GB of memory (41.14%, -0.28 points), and an NVIDIA graphics card (72.42%, with AMD having 19.13% and Intel 8.05%). The most popular graphics card on Steam is the desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (3.85%, -0.14 points), while the laptop RTX 4060 is second with 3.77%, and the RTX 3050 is third with 3.10%. The average amount of VRAM is 8GB (25.89%), and the dominant display resolution is the classic 1920x1080 pixels (51.89%, -0.32 points). As usual, you can find more details from the latest survey on the official website. The results for April 2026 are available here.
