No idea - I haven't fired up RA2 yet; though it WOULD be nice.  Still, I kinda doubt it (since Generals and ZH don't support 1080p, and they are newer than RA2).

You can edit the RA2.INI file to use custom resolution that didn't existed back in the early 2000s

Need for Speed - Most Wanted now free On The House... Grab it..

Second trip through for MW - I grabbed it last year during a previous OTH stint.

 

That is also why HP 2010 is conspicuous by it NOT being offered.

I get that message when I have Adguard enabled. Just disable protection for a few seconds to load the page or go to the page via the actual Origin client.

A new Trial and a new On The House both drop today - Star Wars Battlefront (Trial) and Battlefield 4 Dragon's Teeth (On the House).  Looks like my weekend is going to be Real Busy.

Nox™ is fast faced action, set in a land filled with discovery and deceit.

An excellent action/RPG hybrid with very unique gameplay. Your name is Jack Mower, a 20th century dude who just happened to be sucked into the world...

Nox was a very good and fun game. I don't think it was published by MS. I had the game (physical retail boxe) and don't remember anything MS related in the presentation (intro video, boxe, etc ...). From what i can recall it was made by Westwood and i think EA bought the rights to all Westwood content a while back.

 

I own it on GoG already so i wont download it again.

The current Need for Speed (Trial) and Batlefield Hardline expansion Betrayal both hit On the House today - and the NFS trial crashes to the desktop.  When I had the Intel graphics drivers as the default, it complained that the drivers were too NEW (not too old).  In an unrelated development, Forza 6 Apex will NOT run in *hybrid mode* - it essentially thinks that any mode where you have both the Intel GPU and another GPU is hybrid mode.  I will test-run Apex again in *solo mode* (no discrete GPU in place at all) to see if this persists.

There is a bunch of DLCs and expansion packs that you can get for free. Even if you don't own the games you can still get then so that when you do buy the base game you can use the DLCs and expansion packs.

Indeed (not a trial - and likely part of the ME: Andromeda promotion) and it includes a ton of free content, too.  (Downloading as I type this.)

    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
    • Being on Github makes it more trustable since I can see the code at any point.
    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • 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.
